My mom just bought me two new cookbooks for my birthday! YAY me! So I thought I would crack the seal on one of my new books by making a simple treat for myself. This recipe is great because it is very versitile especially if your a picky eater or have an allergy to something. For example, you could substitue the nuts for raisins or you could substiute the corn syrup for peanut butter if you want a less sugary version. I like to use this site called Allergies and Me to help me think of recipe ideas and help me when I'm substituting ingredients. So enjoy this easy recipe and feel free to make any changes to satisfy your needs.
This is a great recipe for a New Years Eve party. I love making Bakerella's cake balls, they are so easy and fun. I decided to make them this time using lemon cake mix because I wanted a fun color to be on the inside of the balls when you bite into them. At first I was going to cover them with white candy coating and decorate them with sprinkles. But when I went to the craft store, I found colorburst bright candy coating and I had to try it out. The balls look fun and taste so good as always. Follow the link above to make your own New Year's cake balls!
Similar to my Peanut Butter Crunch Balls, I decided to duplicate that recipe using chocolate instead and turning them into spooky pops! This recipe is easy to make and can be very versitile. I decided to go with ghosts and frankenstein monsters as my halloween characters of choice. I made the crunch balls similar to my recipe posted above, just substituting the peanut butter for chocolate, sticking a lollipop stick on the top and decoarating them with candy coating and chocolate chips. This treat is sweet on the outside and crunchy on the inside but packed with loads of chocoalte!
I got this recipe from my mom's house, she has a stack of old magazine and newspaper cut-outs of recipes and I borrowed some to try. I'm not positive where the source came from but I think it was inside a little Smucker's Food of Canada catalogue. I followed the recipe exactly except that I substituted ground almonds for the whole pecans. It still tasted really good, I think I just changed the texture of the bars slightly by adding crushed nuts rather than whole ones. The bars were like a mix between Skor chocolate bars and a blondie; the bottom layer was soft and chewy and the top layers were crunchy toffee bites with chocolate. I would make this recipe again especially because I love the combination of toffee and chocolate! Here's the recipe for yo
Since I don't drink coffee, I still had a lot of coffee creamer that I didn't know what to do with from when I made those Irish cream brownies. I've been wanting to make truffles for some time now and when I stumbled upon this recipe I knew it was the right time to try something new for me. This recipe was so easy to make and also fun! Instead of covering the truffles with chocolate, I coated them with an assortment of flavors form my pantry including coconut, crushed vanilla wafers, cocoa powder, and chocolate cookie crumbs.
I got alot of different descriptions about this recipe including, a melty chocolate treat, a small Snicker Bar, a fudgey brownie, sweet and peanuty, and mmmm! I thought these mini bars worked out well but not quite how I thought they would. I made these for my boyfriend's step-dad Dave because I remembered how much he enjoyed my Snicker Bar Brownies the last time I came over. So decided I wanted to make him something similar with just the same amount of chocolate yumminess. I found this recipe that seemed perfect and just unique enough that it made me tempted to try it. The bottom of the bars turned out well giving a very chewy, almost melt in your mouth, smooth texture with great crunch and flavor from the many peanuts. The top was a nice touch that I added to give the bars
So far this has been my favorite and easiest fudge recipe that I have made. I got this recipe from RecipeZaar and it looked too good to be true so I just had to try it. It was so simple to make and resulted in great fudge; besides, who doesn't love Toblerone?. The fudge had a nice and creamy texture with great flavor from the toblerone bar. My mom's favorite chocolate bar is Toblerone so I always have some on hand and what better way to eat it than to turn it into a creamy treat! The recipe calls for using a big 400g Toblerone Bar but I had a bag full
I got a new candy thermometer for Christmas and I decided to finally put it to some good use. I found this recipe in my BHG (Better Homes and Garden) cookbook under the candy section and decided to give it a try. I thought this recipe worked out well and tasted just like a Skor chocolate bar. It had great toffee flavor with just the right amount of sweetness from the chocolate and perfect crunch texture.
This wonderful treat can be made many of ways but the traditional one's have chocolate and broken biscuits as the two main ingredients. This recipe link includes more information of what a "tiffin" actually is but in my opinion it's a delicious chocolate crunchy treat. I found this recipe on Cookie Madness a long time ago and made it once before. I wanted to make my boyfriend a little something to pack into his lunch for work this week and I had a lot of chocolate in my house for some reason so I thought I would give this recipe a try again. I changed the recipe slightly and I've posted my adapted version below. It
These were awesome! They were a mixture between a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup and a Crispy Crunch that I found in my 100 Best Bake Sale Cookbook. They were so easy to make and satisfied any sweet tooth out there. I originally made them for girls night but at last minute It was cancelled so I ended up bringing them over to my boyfriends house and all his roommates enjoyed them instead. There's not much more to say about these except that they were fantastic, so I've posted my half size version of the recipe below, but if you want the full size recipe just double it and enjoy more treats!
