Chocolate Bread Pudding

From: HOST GFS DdH2

Submitted by: USSGERI

 

Ingredients:

2 cups soft bread crumbs

1 quart milk

1 Tbsp. butter, softened

2 ounces unsweetened chocolate squares

2/3 cups sugar

2 eggs beaten

1 tsp. vanilla

Cream

 

Combine breadcrumbs and milk in a large bowl and allow to sit for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, spread butter along the bottom and sides of a 1-quart baking dish. Melt chocolate squares in the microwave or saucepan being careful not to scorch. Add sugar to the chocolate and stir. Slowly stir in milk and bread mixture and eggs and vanilla. Pour into baking dish and bake at 350 for about 2 hours or until deep brown. Serve pudding warm with cream poured over the top.

 

The Skinny: Use low fat milk and your favorite sugar and egg substitute. For those of you that might not know, the chocolate in this recipe is cooking chocolate. It usually comes in large bars that can be broken into ounce-sized pieces.

Chocolate Buttermilk Pie

From: HOST GFS DdH2

 

3 ounces chocolate

1 9-inch prepared pie shell

3 eggs

3 egg yolks

1 and 1/2 cups buttermilk

4 Tbsp. butter, melted

Juice of 1 lemon

Zest of 1 lemon

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1/2 cups brown sugar

1 and 1/2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour

 

Bake pie shell in 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes. Allow to cool. Melt chocolate in a double broiler. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly, then spread chocolate evenly around surface of pie shell. Whisk together eggs, egg yolks, buttermilk, butter, lemon juice and zest and vanilla. Combine sugar and flour together and slowly add to the egg and buttermilk mixture. Pour mixture into a saucepan and cook over medium heat for about 5 to 7 minutes or until thickened. Pour mixture into pie shell and bake for about 30 minutes at 350 degrees. The custard will set up while cooking and should firm up as it cools.

 

The Skinny: Whew....that's quite a few eggs. I assume you could use egg substitute or a combination of some real eggs and some substitute. Use your favorite sugar substitute.

from my friend SpeedRoots

2 pkg cream cheese (8-oz. each)

3 eggs

3 T heavy cream

4 oz unsweetened baking chocolate, melted (4 squares)

1 t vanilla

1-1/2 c Splenda

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut a circle of foil and use it to line the bottom of an 8" cake pan. Spray foil lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Fill a large rectangular baking pan with about 1" of water. Mix vanilla into the melted chocolate and allow to cool. Mix cream cheese, eggs, cream and Splenda in a mixer until smooth, then add the chocolate and mix until everything is incorporated. Pour batter into your prepared pan. Place filled cake pan into the bath you have prepared for it, taking care that the water doesn't overflow into the batter. Bake for about 1 hour. Test it at about 50 minutes to see if it is baked yet (you can tell if it jiggles when you move it, or by pressing the center, it should be firm.) Careful not to overcook it!

Chocolate Coffee Spoons

From: DdHober

 

Chocolate Coffee Spoons

Material

Heavy plastic spoons

White chocolate

Milk chocolate

Chocolate sprinkles or coloured sugar

Instructions

1----In the microwave, melt half of the white chocolate in one bowl. Melt half of the milk chocolate in another bowl. (Of course, you can melt chocolates on the stove top, too.) Personal note here....keep the fire department number posted in the kitchen....I usually find it needed anytime I turn the stove on.... ; ) and seeing those sexy firemen run around your house always adds to my cooking enjoyment !

2----Dip half of your spoons in white chocolate and the other half in milk chocolate. Dip them as far as the base of the spoon's bowl. Place them on waxed paper and let them set completely.

3----When the chocolate on the spoons is set, melt the remaining white and milk chocolate in separate bowls as before.

4----Dip the white chocolate spoons in milk chocolate and dip the milk chocolate spoons in white chocolate. Dip them only half way up the bowl of the spoon to create a layered effect. Place them back on the waxed paper to begin setting.

5----Let chocolate set only partially (about 5 minutes). Then, gently dip the tips of the spoons in chocolate sprinkles or coloured sugar. These spoons, wrapped in cello wrap and tied with ribbon make wonderful stocking stuffers. You can add instructions to your gift card example-----( Stir me into you coffee).

Chocolate Covered Pretzel Sticks w/M&M on top

From: HOST GFS DdH2

ol.com.aol.co

This is waaay to easy and you might want to pass it on. Don't know what it

is called though.

Put those little round pretzels on a cookie sheet. Top each one with a chocolate kiss. Put the cookie sheet in the oven heated to about 250 for about 2-3 minutes (just until the kiss is soft all the way through). Using a knife or spatula flatten the kiss and put an M&M on the top (red or green look nice for Christmas) and let them harden. This whole process takes about 15 minutes and most of that time is spent unwrapping the kisses. I love the combination of salt and chocolate.

Do you love chocolate and mint? I bet if you give this pie a try that your family and friends will be begging you to make it not just around St. Patrick's Day. This pie has a wonderful chocolate cookie crust and ice cream filling with a wonderful meringue. You can of course use chocolate, mint chocolate chip, or your favorite ice cream. Enjoy!

 

Preparation Time: 30 minutes

Cooking Time:10 minutes

Serves: 8 or 1 Dogbyte

Cal: unknown

2 1/2 C Crushed Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

1/4 C Butter or Margarine, melted

1 Qt Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, let slightly soften

4 T Creme de Menthe Liqueur (or you can use just

a dash of mint flavoring but not as good)

3 Egg Whites

to taste Salt (just a small dash)

1/4 tsp Cream of Tartar

2 tsp Creme de Menthe Liqueur

1/3 C Sugar

 

To make the crust, in a bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups cookie crumbs and melted butter or margarine. To finish the crust, press the crumb mixture firmly over bottom and up the sides of a 9 inch pie pan. Place crust in the freezer to firm up (about 10 minutes).

 

Take the crust out of the freezer and spread half of the softened ice cream in crust. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the Creme de Menthe on top of the ice cream and then blend in slightly with a knife. Next, sprinkle about 1/2 cup of cookie crumbs over the ice cream. Place in the freezer to firm up a bit then repeat with another layer of softened ice cream, 2 tablespoons of the Creme de Menthe and the remaining cookie crumbs. Place the pie back in the freezer and freeze till firm. You can choose to make the meringue now and freeze with the pie (no longer than 24 hours) or make before serving. To make the meringue use a medium small bowl and beet the egg whites until they are white and foamy. Add salt (just a small dash) and cream of tartar to the egg whites. Continue to beat the eggs until slightly stiff. Gradually add the sugar beating until all the sugar is incorporated. Continue to beat until peaks form. Gently fold in 2 teaspoons creme de menthe. Remove the pie from the freezer and spread meringue over pie. Before serving brown the pie (actually the meringue will brown slightly) using the broiler. Enjoy with Irish coffee or your favorite beverage.

Chocolate for Breakfast!

From: LydaT

 

Chocolate Gravey

My mother made this special sauce on sunday mornings and was served over

biscuits and butter..

4 TBL Flour

4 TBL Cocoa

10 TBL Sugar

 

Mix these in a sauce pan. When completely mixed start adding water (yes water) I have no measurement for this. As sauce starts to heat it will thicken. Add water until you get the thickness you want. We make it a little thinner than gravey. This really is a great breakfast. If I could only make biscuits like my mom?

Chocolate Is A Vegetable!

From: DdHober

Submitted by: BHogan32

 

Chocolate is a Vegetable: Chocolate is derived from cocoa beans. Bean = vegetable. Sugar is derived from either sugar CANE or sugar BEETS. Both are plants, which places them in the vegetable category. Thus, chocolate is a vegetable. 

 

To go one step further, chocolate candy bars also contain milk, which is dairy. So candy bars are a health food. Chocolate-covered raisins, cherries, orange slices and strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you want. If you've got melted chocolate all over your hands, you're eating it too slowly. The problem: How to get 2 pounds of chocolate home from the store in a hot car. The solution: Eat it in the parking lot. 

 

Diet tip: Eat a chocolate bar before each meal. It'll take the edge off your appetite, and you'll eat less. If I eat equal amounts of dark chocolate and white chocolate, is that a balanced diet? Don't they actually counteract each other? Chocolate has many preservatives. Preservatives make you look younger. Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at least you'll get one thing done. 

 

A nice box of chocolates can provide your total daily intake of calories in one place. Now, isn't that handy? If not for chocolate, there would be no need for control top pantyhose. An entire garment industry would be devastated. You can't let that happen, can you? REMEMBER: "Stressed" spelled backward is "desserts" 

 

Send this to four chocolate lovers and you will lose two pounds. Send this to all the chocolate lovers you know (or ever knew), and you will lose 10 pounds. If you delete this message, you will gain 10 pounds immediately. That's why I had to pass this on -- I didn't want to risk it.

2 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, grated

Brown Sugar Glaze

1/3 cup packed light-brown sugar

4 tablespoons butter or margarine

3 tablespoons bourbon

1 cup confectioners' sugar

Crab apples with leaves for garnish

 

1. Prepare Chocolate Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 12-cup Bundt pan. In medium bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. In 1-cup liquid measuring cup, mix bourbon, vanilla, and espresso-coffee powder until blended; set aside.

2. In large bowl, with mixer at medium speed, beat butter until creamy. Gradually beat in granulated sugar, scraping bowl often with rubber spatula. Beat in bourbon mixture. Reduce speed to low; add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.

3. With mixer at low speed, alternately add flour mixture and milk, beginning and ending with flour mixture, until batter is blended. Beat in grated chocolate. Spoon batter into Bundt pan, spreading evenly.

4. Bake cake about 1 hour and 10 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Cool cake in pan on wire rack 10 minutes. Invert cake onto wire rack to cool completely.

5. Prepare Brown Sugar Glaze: Place cooled cake on cake plate. In 2-quart saucepan, heat brown sugar and butter over medium heat until bubbly, about 3 minutes, stirring often. Remove saucepan from heat. With wire whisk, beat in bourbon and confectioners' sugar until mixture is smooth. Immediately pour glaze over top of cooled cake, letting it run down sides. Allow glaze to set before serving. Garnish with crab apples.

Double-Chocolate Souffle Torte With Raspberry Sauce

From: HOST GFS DdH2

 

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE SOUFFLE TORTE WITH RASPBERRY SAUCE

Submitted by: USSGERI

FOR 8 SERVINGS:

Sauce:

1 cup water

1/2 cup sugar

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1/8 teaspoon salt

1 (10-ounce) package frozen raspberries in light syrup, thawed and undrained

1 tablespoon Grand Marnier (orange-flavored liqueur)

Torte:

3 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped

2 tablespoons Grand Marnier (orange-flavored liqueur)

3 tablespoons butter, softened

3/4 cup sugar, divided

1 large egg

1/4 cup fat-free milk

1/4 cup Dutch process cocoa or unsweetened cocoa

2 tablespoons cornstarch

4 large egg whites

1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

1/8 teaspoon salt

Cooking spray

 

The key to souffle success lies in the beating of the egg whites. Use spotless utensils, beating the whites until stiff peaks form--firm enough to stand up yet still able to slide around the bowl when gently swirled. Beat them too much, and they'll be too dry to create air pockets. Egg whites must be gently folded into the batter--don't overdo it. The sauce can be prepared a day ahead and chilled. 1. To prepare the raspberry sauce, combine first 4 ingredients in a medium, heavy saucepan; stir well with a whisk. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Cook 2 minutes. Stir in raspberries; cook 4 minutes, stirring gently. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon liqueur. Pour sauce into a bowl; cover and chill 1 hour. 2. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. 3. To prepare torte, combine chocolate and 2 tablespoons liqueur in a small, heavy saucepan; cook over low heat until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth, stirring occasionally with a whisk. Place butter and 1/2 cup sugar in a medium bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed 1 minute or until fluffy. Add egg; beat 1 minute. Gradually add milk; beat at low speed (mixture will look curdled). Add chocolate mixture, cocoa, and 2 tablespoons cornstarch; beat at low speed until combined. 4. Place the egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt in a medium bowl; beat with a mixer at high speed until soft peaks form using clean, dry beaters. Gradually add 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Gently fold one-fourth of egg white mixture into chocolate mixture; gently fold in remaining egg white mixture. Spoon chocolate mixture into an 8-inch springform pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 300 degrees for 45 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out almost clean; run a knife around outside edge. (The torte falls as it cools.) Cool on a wire rack. Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 1 wedge and 1/4 cup sauce). Note: Grand Marnier adds a wonderful flavor.

2/3 cup of regular milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup of peanutbutter [I used extra crunchy]

1 jar of the marshmellow stuff

Mix sugar, milk and vanilla in pot and cook till it make a ball in water. {I used a candy thermometer and boiled it to a "soft-ball" at 234 degrees] Remove from heat and stir in the peanutbutter and marshmellow stuff and pour into buttered or greased pan to setup and cool. Looks like peanutbutter and tastes good.

Rules of Chocolate

From: GFA Terry

 

My father sent this one which has been floating around the Internet --

**********

Chocolate is good for you. Chocolate is made from cocoa beans, and beans are vegetables. It contains sugar, which comes from either sugar cane or sugar beets, which are both plants. Therefore, chocolate is a vegetable. If you eat chocolate-covered cherries, raisins, strawberries and orange slices, you're getting fruit in your diet. Chocolate-covered nuts are in the protein food group. And since chocolate contains milk, it is a dairy food.

 

To have a balanced diet, eat equal amounts of dark and white chocolate. If calories are an issue, store your chocolate on top of the fridge. Calories are afraid of heights, and they will jump out of the chocolate to protect themselves.

 

Diet tip: Eat a chocolate bar before each meal. It'll take the edge off your appetite, and you'll eat less of the foods that don't taste as good. If the chocolate melts on your hands, you're eating it too slowly. The problem: How to get 2 pounds of chocolate home from the store in a hot car. The solution: Eat it in the parking lot.

 

Beauty tip: Chocolate has many preservatives. Preservatives make you look younger. Time management tip: Write "Eat chocolate" at the top of your daily "To Do List." That way, you'll get at least one thing done. A nice box of chocolates can provide your total daily intake of calories in one place. Think of the energy you could save.

 

Help protect the American economy. If not for chocolate, there would be no need for control top pantyhose. An entire garment industry would be devastated. You can't let that happen, can you? If you can't eat all your chocolate, it will keep in the freezer. But if you can't eat all your chocolate, what's wrong with you? Money talks. Chocolate sings. Beautifully.

Secrets of the Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

From: Terry Ann2

 

This seems like great advice! I am going to try some of the suggestions --

http://www.well.com/user/vard/cookies.html

An excerpt:

The recipe on the back of the Nestle Toll House Morsels [tm] bag makes fine cookies, and if you were to follow it precisely, you couldn't go too far wrong. However, based upon my own experience and that of others, I advise a few minor modifications and refinements. First, always use real butter. Don't let anyone convince you that butter vs. margarine doesn't make any difference. It does. Second, TRIPLE the amount of vanilla extract recommended. This means to use a tablespoon where a teaspoon is specified. Also, always use real vanilla extract and not "vanillin," which is bogus, although cheaper, and sold next to the genuine article in many grocery stores. Feh. (Incidentally, vanilla is a wondrous and versatile substance. Click here to find out everything you ever wanted to know about vanilla, and some things you never suspected.) Third, and this can make a big difference, don't just let the butter sit out at room temperature to become soft. Instead, melt it, very carefully, so that it doesn't burn (you can use a double boiler -- if anyone out there still has one! -- or else a microwave oven that is set very low and which you are watching like a hawk). A microwave can burn the butter in a second if you turn your back at an inopportune moment. (Use a Pyrex or other microwave-safe transparent container if you do this, so you can watch the butter closely.) Melted butter, because it is both warm and liquid, does a much better job of dissolving and melting the sugar than a room-temperature creamed butter can do, improving the consistency of the dough as you are working with it, and also improving the texture of the cookies after they are baked. My friend Lizabeth says that she gets much better results using melted butter and superfine granulated sugar, and I believe her; however, I have never had a problem with the texture of cookies made with ordinary granulated sugar. Also, if you're like me, you have often had a problem with your brown sugar clumping together into giant bricks, which you are then banging on the edge of the kitchen counter in order to break them up enough to use the stuff; still, big lumps of brown sugar survive even into the baked cookies. Well, if you take the big solid mass of brown sugar, roughly the volume you desire, put it into the microwave with the melting butter in the Pyrex cup, and let it melt on a very low setting for a few minutes, you will find that the brown sugar will liquefy very nicely. It will help it along if you stir the contents for a few seconds after removing the cup from the microwave. It will then pour smoothly into the mixing bowl. Let it cool briefly before adding the eggs, so they don't poach before you can mix them into the other wet ingredients. Many correspondents have written to tell me that a slice of white bread, placed into the sealed plastic bag with the bricklike mass of brown sugar, will soften it within a day. My mother likes to use a slice of apple. In either case, put it into the plastic bag with the brown sugar and seal it up and check it again in 24 hours. Fourth, add a little milk, maybe just a tablespoon or two, when you are mixing the dough. This will make it less stiff and the cookies will be less hard and crunchy when they are done. If you do this, though, make sure the dough is nice and cold as you drop it onto the cookie sheet, and also make sure the cookie sheet is room temperature or cooler when you put the dough on it and put it into the oven. If the dough melts around the edges before it starts to bake, sometimes the edges will burn or get too brown. Fifth, if you like, try leaving out part of the sugar. I find sometimes that these cookies are easier to take if even 1/8 cup (two tablespoons) of the sugar (white or brown) is omitted. Don't leave out more than that though.

Urban Legend Chocolate Chip Cookies

" You may have heard this story...a woman asks to buy a cookie recipe and is told it will cost 'two-fifty.' She thinks this means $2.50, but then she gets her credit card bill back and finds out it is $250.00. Outraged, she spreads the recipe far and wide to try and get her money's worth. I first heard this story 6 years ago and was given a recipe on a sheet of paper which bore the date '1986.' The supposed originator of the recipe was a well-known cookie company. I have since heard this tale again several times, with the recipe originating from different upscale department stores. True story? Who knows, but it's a darn good cookie. Here's my version. "

2 cups sifted Swans Down Cake Flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup sugar

1 egg, unbeaten

Add flour, alternately with milk, a small amount at a time. Beat after each addition until smooth. Add vanilla. Bake in two greased 8-inch layer pans in moderate oven (375 degrees) 25 minutes. Spread Chocolate Wonder Frosting between layers and on top of cake, swirling top attractively with spatula.
