Need a Chocolate Recipe!

Hello Mamas!

I'm in charge of the chocolate fix for our All Day Scrapbooking session on Saturday. I am a very good chef but short on time. Any recipes that won't take so long I'll have my toddler hanging off my leg for attention but will wow the crowd? I need to plan for 15 people.

Thanks so much!!

If you like hot chocolate cake that has that melty center, there is a very easy and quick recipe on the back of the Hershey's box (or on their web site, listed as Hot Fudge Pudding Cake). It usually serves 8 so you can double it. It's really easy, quick and delicious.

Easiest recipe ever:

Chocolate fondue
1 container of cool whip
1/3 cup semi-sweet choc. chips

Mix both in a microwaveable bowl and zap in micro for a minute, stir, zap for another minute and stir, add 30 sec. increments if it isn't smooth yet. Serve with pretzels or cubed pound cake, marshmallows, strawberries

This is a very easy brownie recipe from a mix but tastes great. Bake a batch of brownies using a mix that is for a 13x9 inch pan. When they come out of the oven sprinkle them with one cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and one cup of chopped pecans (or chopped walnuts) put in oven for two more minutes. Cut when cool.

I saw the other recipes and am now wanting my own choc. fix!!! hehe

Anyways I have the simplist and best fudge recipe. Take a bag of unsweet or semi-sweet choc. chips, 16 0r 18 oz+, put that in a microwave safe bowl. Add a can of sweet condensed milk and stir.

Microwave for about a minute and take out and stir. should be all melted but if not put back in the microwave and do a 30 second, stir, 30 second and stir until it is all melted. Put into a cake or pie pan (or another serving dish) and put in the fridge for about a hour or 2. And its ready to serve.

Now I do sometimes change it up, stir in some peanut butter chips right after the bowl comes out of the microwave or when it is in the serving dish (before going in the fridge)

My husband loves it when I put Andes thin mints on top of the fudge right out of the microwave in the dish. It makes this hard crunchy topping. I prefer the mints on top of a cheesecake but then again I am not that much of a choc-o-holic! hehe Best of luck! I have a 3 year old that thinks she must help with EVERYTHING and rather than fight it I just go with it and give her a job! hehe!!

Mexican Chocolate Wedding cakes! These are the easiest cookies ever, they have a short list of ingredients, don't take too long to bake and taste like you spent all day!

3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
3 (1-ounce) squares unsweetened baking chocolate, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped nuts
1/2 teaspoon salt
Powdered sugar

Heat oven to 350F. Cream butter and brown sugar, add melted chocolate and vanilla, add flour and salt. I generally skip the nuts, but it's just a preference thing. Make 1 inch balls and place about 2 inches apart and bake 8-10 minutes. You can roll them in powdered sugar or cocoa powder as well but they are delicious plain if you'd rather not take the time (or make the mess). They say it makes about 5 dozen, but I never seem to get more than four (I'm sure mine are a little big).

Enjoy your scapbooking day!

I don't know any chocolate lover who doesn't love brownies from a mix. But if you want it to look a little fancier, you can turn it into chocolate "truffles" - chose an "extra fudgey" box recipe, and cook according to the directions on the box, although make sure to undercook just slightly (so they would be really gooey). Let them cool in the pan a little, and when the brownies are still warm, scoop up by generous teaspoon-fulls, roll gently into balls, and then roll in assorted toppings - crushed nuts, coconut, powdered sugar, cocoa powder. Yum.

I too have a child born on August 11th but mine is already 10!! I have a quick recipe for a nice chocolate fix.....

Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and place mini pretzels in a single layer, place on top of each one a hershey kiss. Bake them in the oven until they start to melt.

Takes care of the salt and sweet fix!!!

Our playgroup did a chocolate fondue for one of the mom's birthdays yesterday and it was so good and easy to make. Just melt a few bags of ghiradelli or some other favorite chocolate chips in a small crock pot or warmer. Then just have a bunch of fruit that they can put on kabob sticks and dip away!!! You could use bananas, strawberries, grapes,angel food cake chunks...pretty much anything that will hold on a stick and tastes good with chocolate and really what doesn't taste good covered in chocolate!
