Here's a couple of my favorite recipes that the guys in my fraternity love:
These are simply milk chocolate bite-sized brownies, covered with white chocolate and drizzled with dark chocolate...
Gagic Brownies
Ingredients:
3/4 cup sugar.
1/3 cup butter. (5 and 1/3 tablespoons)
2 teaspoon water.
4 Cups (one regular package) milk chocolate chips.
4 Cups (one regular package) white chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla.
2 eggs.
3/4 cup flour.
1/2 tablespoon salt.
1/4 teaspoon baking soda.
3 teaspoon shortening
Cooking:
1. Bring the sugar, butter, and water to a boil. Then remove from heat.
2. Add 1 cup (half the package) of chocolate chips and the vanilla. Stir until smooth and let sit for 5 minutes.
3. Add eggs to mixture (one at a time).
4. Add flour, salt, baking soda and the rest of the bag of chocolate chips.
5. Bake at 355 for 35 minutes
6. Take straight from oven and put into the freezer for 40 minutes.
7. Use a butter knife and cut into bite sized chunks
Coating:
1. Melt the white chocolate chips (in the microwave in a bow, 10-20 second intervalsl) and add shortening halfway through the melting process
2. Take a plastic fork and break the middle two tongs off. Use the fork to dip the brownies into the coating mixture. (or you could sit it into the coating and use a plastic spatula to ensure even covering)
3. Put the brownies onto a baking sheet covered in wax paper.
4. Decorate immediately. (the dark chocolate was some extra dark chocolate chips I had that I melted and put into a piping bag)
Some other decorating things you could do is use a gumdrop on top, a fresh strawberry would go well with it, even maybe some hard candy like a cinnamon disk might go well to balance out the chocolate.
This is an extremely easy Peppermint Bark recipe.
Peppermint Bark:
Ingredients:
1 package of white almond bark
1 package of regular candy canes
1 Tablespoon of peppermint Extract
Preparation:
1. Unwrap candy canes and put into a ziploc bag
2. Pulverize the candy canes into little pieces
3. Melt the almond bark in the microwave (10-20 second intervals)
4. Add 1/2 - 2/3 of the candy cane pieces and peppermint extract
5. Spread the mixture onto a foil lined pan (it's important that it is a foil, like aluminum foil)
6. Sprinkle the rest of the candy cane pieces on top
7. Put into freezer and let sit (approx. 1 hour for a truly solid piece)
8. Break the solid slab of peppermint bark into pieces.
This is just one of those things that is extremely easy to do, yet people who don't know how to do it think you're amazing.
