Bacon Chocolate Bar (Vegetarian!)

Vosges Chocolate came out with "Mo's Bacon Bar", but it's expensive! Selfridges here in London had some but sold out in 2 days at 6 pounds for a 3-ounce bar! Knowing my love for bacon, my wife formulated her own recipe -and it's great! -- posted by StuNutt

Easy Chocolate Truffles Aka: Cool Whip Candy

Mon, 16 Feb 2009 01:19:11 -0500

A friend of ours dropped by one day with a few of these to share. He got the recipe from his grandmother. There are very few recipes I make using Cool Whip but this is now one of them. I looked up Cool Whip Candy here on Zaar & there are a couple others posted but they use different cookies and Hershey candy bars. I liked that this recipe uses chocolate chips, as they melt faster & I could buy a brand that I favor over Hershey. We store the truffles in a large resealable bag in the freezer & just grab one or two whenever we have a bit of a sweet tooth. Aside from some heavy duty stirring this recipe is very kid friendly. Cook time is chill time. -- posted by **Tinkerbell**

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Mon, 16 Feb 2009 01:34:12 -0500

YUMMY! Chocolate covered strawberries, with white chocolate drizzled over top. White chocolate has been added to the dark chocolate to make it creamy, rich, and sweet. It contrasts beautifully with the tart sweetness of the strawberries. -- posted by Devonviolet

Chocolate Peanut Butter Crispy Fudge

Fri, 20 Feb 2009 11:06:38 -0500

This sounds yummy! You could probably leave out the cereal if you wanted and just layer the chocolate and peanut butter layers, or use dried fruit or nuts. I thought spreading the chocolate mix in a pan and swirling in the peanut butter mixture sounded good too. -- posted by IAcupcake

Two-Step Truffles

Tue, 17 Mar 2009 19:38:22 -0400

These will be the easiest truffles you've ever made and they are sooo yummy! They are a tradition at my house for Christmas and we coat them in pink-tinted white chocolate for my daughter's birthday. You can shape them like eggs for Easter and dip them in dyed white chocolate or roll them in colored sugar. You can add different flavorings, different coatings, substitute milk, dark or white chocolate... the variations are endless. No matter how you finish these, they will taste great! The original recipe came from one of the chocolate companies several years ago but I can't remember which one. -- posted by Realtor by day, Chef by night

Almond Brickle- Easy

Fri, 20 Mar 2009 02:12:28 -0400

Yummy! This is my all-time favorite homemade candy. I love the combination of buttery toffee with nuts and chocolate! It's REALLY EASY to make- you don't even need a candy thermometer for this one. Sometimes I use pecans instead of almonds and I love it that way, too. Feel free to substitute your favorite nut for the almonds- just chop them up small. -- posted by Realtor by day, Chef by night

Country House Fudge- Martha Dixon

Sun, 22 Mar 2009 03:08:09 -0400

My Mom makes this amazing fudge every year at Christmas. It's very smooth, creamy, gooey and rich- not all dry and hard like alot of recipes I've tried. It's unlike any recipe I've found. You'll love it. You'll blow everyone away when you serve this! It calls for 4 cups nut meats but you can substitute those for whatever goodies you like (my all-time favorite is cherries). You can also add different flavorings to make your favorite! My Mom has made this with crushed cookie crumbs, nuts, coconut, peanut butter, caramel, cherries, raspberry flavor, mint flavor, rum flavor marshmallows... there are so many I can't remember them all. The recipe comes from a cookbook called "Martha Dixon's Copper Kettle Cook Book" from 1963. Martha Dixon was quite well-known at that time and had a cooking TV show that was really popular back then. There was no Food Network back then. It was Julia Child and later the Galloping Gourmet... remember them? Anyway, her show was on TV for several years. Some of you may remember her. -- posted by Realtor by day, Chef by night

Chocolate Cookie Truffles

Tue, 31 Mar 2009 10:38:59 -0400

I came up with this recipe after making a batch of chocolate cookies that came out too cake-like for my tastes and decided to repurpose them into something more appealing. The cookies I used were about 3 inches across (and had dried cranberries and almond slices in them), you may need to use more or fewer depending on the size of your cookies. Make sure you use very soft, cake-textured cookies. Cooking time is chilling time. -- posted by ghostlyvision

No-Cook Mocha Fudge

Thu, 02 Apr 2009 15:48:07 -0400

This recipe was actually an accident. I was making fudge frosting to top a cake, but it turned out a bit too thick. Instead of calling it a mistake, I made it into fudge. It is sinfully rich with a nice chocolate flavor enhanced by the addition of coffee. If you're looking for a caffeine fix, this is it! -- posted by MarthaStewartWanabe

Neapolitan Fudgels

Tue, 28 Jul 2009 11:00:24 -0400

From the book Candymaking By Ruth A. Kendrick & Pauline H. Atkinson, publication year 1987. A mother and daughter team of serious candy makers. In the book, they make the professional quality candies as well as the quick and easy types. They gleefully describe this quick and easy candy - Fudgels as one of their most cherished creations. It is best described by these ladies as "a cross between fudge and truffles" - hence the name. These candies use compound coatings, or candy melts. They are pretty and delicious. I have made them many times and my family and friends love them. It is also a good summer candy, quick and very little cooking. They do have to be kept refrigerated. Quoting the ladies again, "this pretty, three-layer fudgel combines pink, white and chocolate-flavored compound coatings. For variety, the pink layer can be flavored with almond, strawberry or raspberry extract." -- posted by kittykittygirl

Rich Mallow and Honey Almond Fudge

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 10:31:39 -0400

Ive adapted this recipe from one I found on the Simply Great Meals website. The original recipe uses pistachios; Ive used honey-roasted almonds. Obviously, you could use whatever nuts you fancy or a mixture of several different nuts. Once youve melted your chocolate, butter and marshmallows, no more cooking is required. Great for lunchbox snacks, picnics and potlucks! For the best results, use top quality chocolate rather than cooking chocolate. Ive suggested Lindt, and if you choose one with orange or peppermint chips, youll add another subtle flavour. Ive wondered also about using a fruit juice instead of the water but havent tried this yet. The conversions you may need: 90g = 3oz; 250g = 8oz. -- posted by bluemoon downunder

So, it got my creative juices flowing and I decided to try to play around and see what I can do come up with a new fudge recipe. I love dark chocolate and so that is the direction I went and threw in the other ingredients to try to cut through the richness. I included a couple hours chilling time in the cooking time but really the longer you leave it the better it gets. -- posted by Sarah_Jayne

No-Bake Choc Peppermint Slice

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 11:43:00 -0400

My friend Stace made this for me one night and it is SO good. It was really good when she first made it and brought it over but it was even better the next day after being stored in the fridge overnight. Cooking time is chilling time. This can be made and stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week (if it lasts that long) -- posted by *christie

Chocolate Fudge or Peanut Butter Fudge

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:23:33 -0400

Our very own Aunt Betty's recipe is one of the easiest and best tasting, creamiest fudge recipes there is. It's smooth and delicious. I promise! We make both, but peanut butter is our family's favorite. -- posted by lloydnkelly

Aunt Barbara's Creamy Fudge

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 01:34:53 -0400

One of the first things my mother taught me how to cook. I remember the smell and hardly being able to wait for it to cool. Now days, everyone asks me for it on the holidays so it's stayed a holiday tradition. It takes almost 30 minutes exactly from start to finish and sets up every time. I have never made it where it doesn't get hard. Handed down from my aunt whom I was named after. -- posted by For JT's Grandma

Fruit and Nut Chocolate Chunks

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 17:33:59 -0400

This fine chocolate recipe comes from Epicurious. For pure chocolate bliss be sure to use best quality bittersweet and fresh nuts. It's worth it! The cook time given is actually chill time. -- posted by Annacia

Italian Chocolate and Nut Cake (Panforte)

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 17:14:15 -0400

Just saw this on five's Cooking the Books and wanted to hang onto it. It comes from Fantastico! recipe book by Gino D'Acampo. I love the idea of a quick chocolate fix that looks elegant and doesn't require cooking! Cooking time = cooling time, 2 hours for 'cake' to set, then another hour for the topping to set. (Note: contains raw egg whites) -- posted by KWB

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 23:55:02 -0500

Great recipe to use up a few leftover marshmallows and lighter than most! Feel free to throw in a few nuts at the very end. I usually cut these into 36 or even smaller, if you like a larger -- posted by Brooke the Cook in WI

Butterscotch Peanut Fudge

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:48:12 -0500

Taken from Taste of Home 2009, amasingly easy and just as tasty! All you need are some simple ingerdients and a microwave! (i used a package of chocolate peeps instead of the mini marshmallows once and it came out just as great!) -- posted by seabeewife401
