Otherwise known as the best Rice Krispy treat EVER!

1 c. Karo syrup
1 c. sugar
1 c. peanut butter
6 c. crisped rice (I use generic cereal for this)
1 c. chocolate chips
1 c. butterscotch morsels

Mix together syrup and sugar in large pot. Bring to boil and then remove from heat. Add peanut butter and stir. Add crisped rice, mix well.

Poon in 9×13″ greased pan.

For the topping, melt the chips and morsels together. Add over the treats and spread out evenly. Refrigerate to harden.

Red Velvet Balls

No Blue Balls on Valentine’s Day … only red. : )

Red Velvet Cake
Cream Cheese Frosting
Chocolate Wafers

Once cake is cooked and cooled completely, crumble into large bowl, mix in cream cheese frosting thoroughly. May be easier (and more fun) to do with hands but definitely messier!

Roll mixture into quarter size balls and lay on cookie sheet, should make 40-50. Chill for several hours – and be patient and make sure it’s really cooled down or it will get gooey.

Melt chocolate wafers in the microwave or stovetop method. Roll balls in chocolate and lay on wax paper until firm. (Use a spoon to dip and roll in chocolate and then tap off extra.)

Enjoy!

Fun Chocolate Fondue

Kristin — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 02:53:31 +0000

Happy New Years! This past year we did chocolate fondue for dessert and it has now become a favorite of my kids … they live for Fondue’ing. It’s not really a recipe, just a fun reminder of all the good things you can dip into melted chocolate – tested and approved!

In fondue pot, melt chocolate wafers – I prefer milk chocolate. Melt and stir constantly until smooth.

Brownies
Graham Crackers
Apples
Bananas
Mangoes
Strawberries
Marshmallows
Rice Krispy Treats

To do the best Double Dip, don’t forget to put out:

Nut mix – my favs are cashews, peanuts and almonds. All lightly salted of course.
Peanut butter
Jams – my favorite is Raspberry.
