How To Make Chocolate Brownies – Video Recipe
A little fun fact:
The brownie, one of the most loved baked treat, was believed to be “invented” in America. Some references imply that brownies were originally made in New England at the beginning of the 20th century. Albeit the facts that it is basically cake-like and baked in a cake pan, brownies are considered as bar cookies rather than a cake.
Now, here’s a recipe you can use to prepare one of America’s all-time favorites!

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.

Do you have an easy recipe for an at-home chocolate fountain?
Question by SV: Do you have an easy recipe for an at-home chocolate fountain?
Every recipe I have tried doesn’t get the chocolate “thin” enough – my fountain starts churning and making funny noises. I need a smooth, thin chocolate sauce to coat strawberries and marshmallows. I am looking for something that contains “good” (not cheap) chocolate chips and maybe 1/2 and 1/2 or heavy cream. HELP!

Answer by gettingmarriedinnc
I just bought one and I’m sorry I haven’t used it yet but they said to use good chocolate and heat it up with oil in a microwave or pan first. Then put it in you fountain. They said the more coco that’s in the chocolate is better and makes it move smoother. I’m not sure of the exact measurements but I know that they said cups of oil. Let me know if this helps I hope so good luck.

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.

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.

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.

Best recipe for chocolate that will harden when cooled…but is easy to use when melted?
Question by BreadCollision: Best recipe for chocolate that will harden when cooled…but is easy to use when melted?
I don’t want to use “chocolate” almond bark to make candies using melted chocolate. I tried melting milk chocolate chocolate chips and it just became a big chalky lump. Anyone have a recipe for homemade, from-scratch chocolate that will harden when cooled? I want to make various forms of chocolate bark treats with it. Thanks so much.

Answer by lil miss blue eyes
Try using Nestle Milk Chocolate chocolate chips. Mix in a little milk and butter when the chips are melting, and they will harden just like homemade-difficult-to-work-with chocolate. Make sure that you melt it VERY slowly, otherwise you end up with the clumpy mess. This tastes great and is easy to work with.
