Only three ingredients and a few minutes of your time and you will be enjoying these summertime treats. If you are looking for a dark chocolate taste and more icy than creamy this is not the recipe.
Here are two rich creamy milk chocolate ice cream treats in one recipe.
This is a hot fudge reminder of our giveaway. A recipe you might use on the delicious ice cream you’re going to make with your prize? We hope you win!
Makes a generous 1/2 cup of fudge topping
1/2 Cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 Teaspoon warm water (or 2 teaspoons butter for richer flavor)
1 Tablespoon sugar
1/4 Cup heavy cream
1/2 Teaspoon vanilla
Microwave the chocolate chips in 20 second intervals until the morsels stir into a very creamy mixture. Add the water and sugar and continue to stir until sugar is dissolved. This may take some minutes. Add the cream and vanilla and stir vigorously. If the sauce is too thick add a bit more cream.
It’s ready to go!
Only a few days left to enter for our Giveaways!
It was one of those baking myself happy kinda days back then. The day before had been a 14 hour hospital nightmare, and now my bathroom had a puddle growing across the floor. I need a chocolate fix! But no eggs! That eliminates brownies and cakes. (In those days substituting ingredients was sorta like cheating. Yeah, kinda crazy.) I have chocolate chips! And zip eggs needed for shortbread.
Within 30 minutes all was done … Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookies. Just in time! The plumber arrived and I showed him the puddle. He reached down around the base of the toilet and said, “you’ve a leaking gasket … can I use the phone?” Sure (I kinda hesitated … his hands still dripping) … leading him to my kitchen phone. I passed him minutes later on his way back to the leaking gasket … He was eating my cookies right off the serving plate. Nope! The family didn’t get a taste that day.
Since then I’ve made this recipe many times with great results. Always delicious and a perfect change.
And today I always offer cake and cookies to avoid a help yourself kinda situation like this one!
It’s a mystery! Hmmm I don’t recognize the handwriting and the address on the back of the recipe card doesn’t ring a bell. From the city address this looks to be at least 20 years old. If mom had lived there I’d say this was a friend of hers recipe … Mom loves Butterfingers. The mystery probably will go unsolved but thank you whoever you are.
Yep, I did a search for candy bar cookies and while similar recipes … that’s about it. An interesting tidbit … other candy bar cookie recipes give a variety of candy bars to use … even combinations of candy bars. This recipe will accommodate other candy bar choices, too. If you need a change up I’d stay with caramel and nougat candy or chocolate covered peanuts … Baby Ruth for example. I’ll leave these choices to your imagination. No George, maybe not Skittles. But who knows! Not my choice for a cookie though.
This is my go to recipe for a quick homemade chocolate dessert. Rich Moist Chocolate Brownies! It’s so quick and easy. And you probably have everything in your pantry to whip it together.
There may be a box mix for brownies out there that I might like but I haven’t tasted it yet! This is so much cheaper and just as fast! And you can tell it’s homemade!
Once baked add ice cream, creme fraiche, or whipping cream. Or go it naked!
This is a dessert that will please your family or guests. The edges are chewy, my favorite piece, the center is moist and the crust is thin and slightly crunchy. I love nuts! But it can go without and still impress!
These are icy cold, richly refreshing and perfect for the hot days ahead. The secret ingredient? Frozen fruit or ice keep these cold and thick until the last gulp or spoonful. They all have ice cream, the slow churned version with half the fat. We could talk about substitutions here but for this post I’m using ice cream. Into calorie counting? The Root Beer Ice Freeze has 50 calories, the Blueberry Cream Soda Freeze 75, and Strawberry/Berry Milkshake and French Silk Milkshake Freeze 125. All 8 ounce drinks.
I’ve had many requests for this German Chocolate Cake … A cake recipe I’ve been putting together since I was a teen. Three layers with cooked frosting and expensive ingredients make this a special occasion cake. One of my very best friends (you know the kind … you don’t talk for years but you are there for each other when needed as if no time had passed) loves this cake. She and I worked together on and off for over 20 years … some of the most fulfilling work years I’ve experienced. Our work was grueling but Lori’s humor made often unbearable days bearable.
Here is your birthday cake … really late but I hope you enjoy it!
Amazingly simple, three recipes in one. The sequence is important … cook custard or pudding first, follow with preparing the pastry, and lastly, the icing or glaze. My glaze was done just a little too soon and became a little difficult to spread or dip.
A family owned bakery in our little town perfected this eclair and offered it with either custard or whipped cream filling. Our family preferred the custard filling but often didn’t get to the bakery before they were sold out. Now the bakery is gone and eclairs are even harder to come by.
So, here is my recipe! And yes, I believe I may like these better. There is something about making it yourself!
Love salty and sweet! Pretzel chocolate chip cookies look inviting but I wanted to do something a little different. So … I took my Chocolate and Walnut Toffee Bar Recipe and changed it up with pretzels, white chocolate, butterscotch chips, sea salt, and a bit of peanut butter.
What a great combination of tastes!
What do you do when your family would like a slice of homemade German Chocolate Cake but you don’t have the time to put this cake together not to mention the expense. You make these German Chocolate Cake Cookies!
Do use German Chocolate which is not from Germany but is Mr. German’s creation for the Baker’s Company. It is a sweeter semi-sweet chocolate. Deliciously so! But these German Chocolate Cake Cookies are not too sweet. Just right!
