Peas 4 Dinner Recipe Review: Hot Chocolate On A Stick | Apartment Therapy The Kitchn Previous image Next image Hot Chocolate on a Stick. The idea just sounds fabulous doesn't it? First, here's the recipe: • Hot Chocolate on a Stick from The Giver's Log The Giver's Log is a fabulous place to pick up other tricks on making household goods and snacks. You will need to make sure that the only liquid that goes into the mixture is the melted chocolate itself. Kept in an airtight container these treats last for a full year and can be decorated, adorned and packaged to your heart's desire. A Note About Not Using A Mold:When we made our recipe, we were short on the ice cube tray molds. The block is dense enough, regular knifes (heated or not) and bench scrapers just caused the chocolate to fracture in unattractive shapes, so we brought out our electric knife and went to town. One more tip, in case you'd like to give it a go in a pan: the shapes also might have cut cleaner with a regular hot knife had we scored the top before the chocolate was 100% cooled and hardened.

Watermelon, Meet Lemonade - Blog - food52 - food community, recipe search and cookbook contests - Merrill Last weekend, my sister and some friends threw me a lovely bridal shower. The food was delicious. Happy guests devoured crudités, curried chicken salad, mini grilled cheese sandwiches with bacon, sausage rolls, and homemade currant and ginger scones with clotted cream and raspberry jam. To drink, there was a crisp rosé and a refreshing concoction of fresh watermelon, lemon, sugar and water known as "watermelonade."

monkey bread recipe i’ve got a confession that will either make me seem really cool or really lame: i’m an eagle scout. i spent most of my teenage years camping and tying knots with my fellow boy scouts, learning the skills i would need to survive in the wilderness. and although i’ve never actually been lost in the wilderness (yet), i still use a lot of what i learned in the scouts every day. one of the coolest things about camping is figuring out how to cook gourmet meals with greatly reduced means. no oven, microwave, mixer, toaster, or *gasp* panini press. when we camped, the dutch oven monkey bread was made with ready-made biscuits that were torn up into smaller pieces and rolled in cinnamon and sugar. this recipe actually uses a sweet yeast dough that you let rise, but instead of baking it in a tube pan, i doubled the recipe and used my dutch oven so it would be brimming with gooey cinnamon sugar goodness. why is it called monkey bread?

Nanaimo Bars: The Real Deal | EclecticCook.com There are two three many things I miss about Canada; My friends, Tim Horton’s coffee, Montréal Smoked Meat Sandwiches, and the ubiquitous presence of Nanaimo bars at every donut shop and coffee house in the country. Every once in a wonderful while, a friend will send me a tin of Tim Horton’s coffee. My husband even had a tin shipped in for my birthday one year when I was feeling particularly homesick. I consulted my bestest internet friend, Google, who gave me a whole whack of Nanaimo Bar recipe ideas (about 80,600 in 0.22 seconds). One of the few changes I made to the recipe was to reverse a step and add the hot cocoa and butter mixture to the beaten egg for the bottom layer. I’m sorry, I tried. The recipe calls for “Vanilla Custard Powder”, for which I substituted vanilla pudding. As for me, I’m not nearly as concerned with where they come from as I am about where they end up, which is on my plate. She recently did me the honor of asking me to be her first interviewee (interviewie?

Harry Potter's Butterbeer Recipe Uncovered? - FoxNews.com Got butterbeer? Harry Potter fans are all abuzz about butterbeer, and they've got the foamy mustaches to prove it. The cold and creamy, frothy drink is the most popular food item at the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando, according to Universal spokesman Tom Schroder, with visitors lining up to try it. "Then they would walk around and have this mustache on," said Sabrina Sampson, 11, of Richmond, Va., who described the drink as tasting "like cream soda. Schroder said that about half the visitors to The Wizarding World sample butterbeer. "There may be no bigger product launch smash this year than butterbeer," WalletPop.com said. "It's interesting that one small thing they can sell for a few dollars is getting as much attention as the rides," said Gabe Travers, who reviewed the park for WESH.com, the NBC affiliate in the Orlando area. Immediately after The Wizarding World's June 18 opening, butterbeer was one of the most searched-for terms on the Internet. Servings: 4

Cooking Books How to Make a Cake with Zebra Stripes on the Inside! | MyCakeSchool Blog Hi everyone! Happy Friday! Okay, it is just about 15 minutes until Saturday here, but I’m still going to call this a Friday blog -:0) — Let’s celebrate by making a zebra cake! In my last video tutorial, I demonstrated how to decorate a cake with zebra stripes–a very fun look for your safari, fashion or just plain funky themed cakes! By the way, I did not invent the zebra cake. First, let’s talk batter– You’ll most often see chocolate and white zebra cakes (although it would be fun to try a hot pink and white zebra cake sometime!) We went the boxed cake route and bought a box of Duncan Hines Devil’s Food Cake, and a box of Duncan Hines French Vanilla. We made slight changes to the box directions: French Vanilla Cake– We used 1 cup plus 3 Tablespoons Water rather than the 1 cup that it calls for. That’s it! Let’s get started! Two bowls of batter…. We started by dropping 1/4 cup of vanilla batter into the middle of our 8″ pan. Continue the process until your pans are approx 2/3 full. Hooray!
