Good story to go along with this. Every year Jon would ask what I wanted for Christmas and I would say, “Just buy me some Ferrero Rocher.” And every year he would spend hundreds of dollars and not one peice of chocolate! Well this year we decided we were going to spend all our money on a Cannon Rebel XSI. Well, Jon couldn’t go without buying me something so he bough me 2 very large boxes of Ferrero Rocher. I think all together there were 96 pieces. He said it’s to make up for all the previous years! heehee. He’s so funny. If you haven’t tried this yet you MUST! It’s...
Read MoreYummy PB Hot Fudge Sauce!
I was craving some hot fudge today. Probably because Jon bought vanilla ice cream and root beer. I’m not a huge fan of root beer floats, but I do love hot fudge sundaes! So…I went online and found this Peanut Butter Hot Fudge Sauce recipe. Unfortunately I can’t remember what site I found the recipe on. It was one of those that just lists a ton of recipes no pictures. Anyhow, here’s the recipe…enjoy! Peanut Butter Hot Fudge Sauce 1 cup corn syrup 1 cup creamy peanut butter 1/2 cup heavy cream 1 cup chocolate chips Place all ingredients in microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir. Microwave another 30 seconds. Stir. Then pour over some ice...
Read MoreOh my chocolate! Brownie/Cookie goodness!
Ok…so I was on Bakerella’s website and found this recipe! How could I possibly pass it up? Obviously, I couldn’t! heehee. I know. I’m supposed to be losing weight, but I couldn’t resist. I promise you these were EASY and DELICIOUS!! You’ve got to try it. If you’re a coupon person you’re in luck because this will probably be one of the cheapest desserts you’ll find because all it calls for is one box Betty Crocker Brownie Mix and one Betty Crocker Chocolate Chip Cookie mix. Just follow the directions on the brownie mix and on the cookie mix. Pour the brownie mix into a 9×13 inch pan. Then drop cookie dough by rounded tablespoon. I pressed my cookie dough into the brownie batter. Bake at 350 degrees for...
Read MoreChewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
These are my husband, Jon’s, favorite cookies! He LOVES chocolate chip cookies. One night (midnight) we were watching Alton Brown’s, Good Eats, on the Food Network. His entire show was on chocolate chip cookies. He made thin, chewy and puffy chocolate chip cookies. What I loved was that all three recipes were based on the Nestle Toll House recipe. He showed that a few slight variations created three totally different cookies. Anyhow, Jon and I love chewy cookies so we tried it…probably the next day. When I made them for the first time we couldn’t stop eating them. I promise you these are DELICIOUS!! The only variation I’ve ever made is the type of chips. My favorite is semi-sweet, but you can use milk chocolate or whatever you...
