Interesting…from reading your past several posts it seems that our menstrual cycles are in sync and also our kids being sick syncs fairly closely. Does that MEAN anything?!? Because it would be nice to find meaning in some of this craziness (: Sorry, no chocolate recipes. I hope to start baking when the household is healthy!

The first thing I thought of was to break off a piece, roll it up in crescent roll dough and bake it. I make them with chocolate chips and I’m sure the hershey bar would work as well. They are amazingly good and so easy. You can also use any mini,” fun-size” candy bar.

I saw that someone had recommended oreo truffles and those are great as well. I would recommend using a food processor (or vitamix!) to crush the oreos. I’ve tried doing it by hand and they mix with the cream cheese and look so much better when I use the food processor.

Happy Chocolate Christmas!

Oreo Truffles
1 (8oz) brick cream cheese
1 package oreos (regular or mint ONLY)
the chocolate bars

Crush the cookies. Soften the cream cheese and mix with cookies. scoop out small balls. Place on foil/wax paper covered cookie sheet and freeze until hard. Melt the chocolate and dip the balls in. Let harden. Try not to eat them all. If you are feeling creative take a bit of white chocolate (or nuts, or coconut, or sprinkles) and drizzle on before milk chocolate hardens.

You could also make your normal pancake recipe, grind the chocolate and coffee beans very fine. Add to pancake batter and voila! You have Mocha pancakes.

I think you should send them to me. I could eat them for you. I mean I’d consider it a sacrifice, yes a sacrifice I’d be willing to make for you and your buns. I’m only thinking of you, you know. I mean if you ate them or made anything with them, you’d have to add a gazillion hours to the ellipitical and I’d hate for that to happen.

(okay great. Now I have to go buy some hershey’s and I don’t even like hersheys.)

My mother made this cake for the Groom’s Cake at my wedding – it’s really sweet, but so yummy…

Swiss Hershey Chocolate Cake

1 pkg. Swiss chocolate cake mix
1 pkg. instant vanilla pudding
3 eggs
¾ cup oil
1 ½ cup milk

Icing:

8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
½ cup white sugar
12 oz. carton Cool Whip
½ cup pecans, chopped
2 Hershey bars, chopped

Mix the cake mix, pudding, eggs, oil and milk together. Pour into three 9-inch cake pans that have been greased and floured. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.

For the icing, mix cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Blend in powdered sugar. Add Cool Whip, pecans and Hershey bars. Mix this in a mixer. Refrigerate cake after icing.

In my quest to find a recipe for no bake chocolate cookies, I discovered one that used chocolate chips instead of cocoa powder. I used a chocolate bar in place of the chips and it worked great! Might be worth a try And is a lot faster to make than a cake, providing almost instantaneous chocolate satisfaction. I shared the recipe here: http://kimfromthesouth.blogspot.com/2009/10/score-success-with-no-bakes-at-last.html

I may have a box of dark chocolate covered caramels with sea salt in a cupboard here. Don’t ask my how they got there….

You could eat the chocolate bars, you know all by themselves….one little piece at a time.
