Recipe for Chocolate Cordials with Liquer?
Question by juicyapplejazz: Recipe for Chocolate Cordials with Liquer?
I remember purchasing these from places like Swiss Colony or Figi’s catalogs. Does anyone know how to make the little chocolate bottles with the liquer inside ? It was filled with either grand mariner liquer or irish cream and other flavors. This would be a great gift for the holidays as I found some chocolate molds…now I need the recipe !!!! Help

Answer by Amy 911
It is tricky to make the molded chocolates with a liquid center. You have to paint the inside of the mold several times to build up the walls. After filling you have to “float” the chocolate cap on the bottom. It is not easy or fun. Great gift though!
Making “flavored” cherries is a lot easier. Purchase your favorite liquor in the miniature bottles. Get jarred cherries with stems, dump all but 2oz of cherry juice, mix juice and one miniature liquor into the cherry jar. Turn the jars once a day for 4-7 days. Drain the cherries and blot well….save the yummy juice for drinks or ice cream. Melt your chocolate and dip the cherries. Let harden on wax paper. You can buy the little paper candy cups at any place that sells candy stuff…..also small boxes to package them in. Rum and cognace are both EXCELLENT with the cherries.

Making Dirt Pie…?
Question by Sammy: Making Dirt Pie…?
Hi, I want to make “dirt pie” and have heard many variations on this recipe- some call for cream cheese and whip cream- is there a way to make it without… these are the ingredients I have…
can I do it with just these- and how?:
Oreos
Chocolate Ice cream
Chocolate pudding
Banana pudding
Flour
Sugar
marshmallows
Best answer:
Answer by Sugar PIe
Make your chocolate pudding according to package directions. Once it’s firm, stir in some marshmallows (about a cup)
Crush your oreos in a zipper bag.
In a pretty wine or martini glass, put a scoop of pudding mixture, then top w/ a spoonful of oreo crumbs. Add a gummy worm if you have some… 🙂

Q&A: Does any have a no fail recipe (and tips) for making chocolate chip cookies?
Question by tigerstar06: Does any have a no fail recipe (and tips) for making chocolate chip cookies?
Every time I make chocolate chips, I mess them up. They either end up crunchy and burnt, or not cooked all the way. I’ve tried adjusting the heat and the time that they stay in the oven, but nothing helps. I don’t know if it’s the recipe or if it’s just me.

Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies
Preparation time: 30 to 35 minutes
Baking time: 8 to 13 minutes/baking sheet
About 3 dozen cookies
1-1/4 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup Butter Flavor CRISCO all-vegetable shortening or 3/4 Butter Flavor Crisco stick
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup (6-ounce package) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup pecan pieces (optional)*
Heat oven to 375ºF. Combine brown sugar, Butter Flavor Crisco Shortening, milk and vanilla in large bowl. Beat at medium speed of electric mixer until well blended. Beat egg into creamed mixture.
Combine flour, salt and baking soda. Mix into creamed mixture until just blended. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts, if used.
Drop rounded measuring tablespoonfuls of dough 3 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheet.
Bake one baking sheet at a time at 375ºF for 8 to 10 minutes for chewy cookies (they will look light and moist), or 11 to 13 minutes for crisp cookies. DO NOT OVERBAKE. Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet on a cooling rack; remove cookies to rack to cool completely.
* If nuts are omitted, add an additional 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Q&A: Chocolate “Salad” recipe?
Question by montanalilac: Chocolate “Salad” recipe?
a group of friends is having a Salad potluck for a get-together next week. I’m the unabashed chocoholic of the bunch and am subconsciously expected by them all to somehow make chocolate fit into the theme. Any recipes for layered chocolate dessert (other than pudding with whipped cream) or fruit and chocolate, or, or, or…? BTW, I’m not a fantastic cook, so the easier the better! Thanks!

Try this one for a chocolatey salad, good luck!
Arugula & Mango Salad with White Chocolate & Sriracha Vinaigrette
All i can say is that this salad had me at hello… it was impressive in every way. the white chocolate is very subtle and the acidity of the vinegar breaks the cocoa butter perfectly.
Ingredients:
1 package baby arugula leaves
1 mango – sliced
1/4 cup cilantro leaves
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/2 tablespoon sriracha
1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup grated best quality white chocolate
3 tablespoons olive oil
salt and freshly ground pepper
Preparation:
In a sauce pan over medium heat, combine the sugar, orange juice, sriracha, and white wine vinegar. Stir and bring to a simmer to dissolve the sugar. Remove from heat and add the white chocolate, stirring well to melt and incorporate it into the dressing. Set aside and let cool, but do not refrigerate or the chocolate will set and become hard.
Combine the arugula, cilantro, and mango in a salad bowl whisk the olive oil into the white chocolate mixture to incorporate, season with salt and pepper, and toss well.
