Chocolate Chips

Cookie Dough Truffles

February 1, 2015 by Kay Leave a Comment

This No bake Cookie Dough Truffles recipe is filled with chocolate chip cookie dough and dipped in chocolate. The perfect treat for your sweetheart!

Who doesn’t love to eat chocolate chip cookie dough before the cookies are baked? I know I do. If you do also, you will love Cookie Dough Truffles! The added bonus is the cookie dough is dipped in chocolate, so you get a double dose of chocolate in this special treat.

With Valentine’s Day around the corner I wanted to post a treat that was simple enough for everyone to make for their sweetheart. I don’t know too many people that don’t like Chocolate Chip Cookies, so I think Cookie Dough Truffles would be a safe bet to make for someone special in your life.

I dipped Cookie Dough Truffles in Red Chocolate and Dark Chocolate and added red, pink and white sprinkles and red hots for added color and flair.

Who ever that special someone is in your life this Valentine’s Day, be it your husband/wife, boyfriend/girlfriend, son/daughter, etc., I hope your day is special.

Enjoy!

Cookie Dough Truffles

Ingredients

1 cup flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. cinnamon
1 stick butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tbsp. water, if needed
Chocolate for melting

Instructions

In a bowl whisk together the flour, salt, and cinnamon; set aside.
In a separate bowl, with a hand mixer, beat together the butter, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until combined. Slowly beat in the flour mixture until smooth. If the mixture seems dry, add in the water and mix together.
Stir in the chocolate chips. Roll the mixture into quarter size balls and lay on cookie sheet lined with wax paper. You should get approx. 20-24 balls. Chill in the freezer for 15 minutes or until firm.
Melt the chocolate in the microwave per directions on package (30 sec intervals, stirring in between). Gently dip the cookie dough ball into the candy coating. Once covered remove and let the excess chocolate fall off. Place back on wax paper. Top with sprinkles if you desire. Let the truffles rest so the chocolate can dry.

Peeps S’Mores Bars

April 3, 2014 by Kay 10 Comments

I am going to give you a reason to go out and buy Peeps and that reason is my recipe for Peeps S’Mores Bars.

These bars have an oatmeal & graham cracker crust, a layer of chocolate/butterscotch chips, Peeps marshmallows and some more oatmeal & graham cracker mixture tossed on top.

Peeps S’Mores Bars start with a mixture of butter, brown sugar and karo syrup (yum) and then you add in oatmeal, flour and graham cracker crumbs. Press this into a baking dish and cover it with chocolate and butterscotch chips.

Now it gets fun, you line up the Peeps in rows, they look like they are standing at attention. Add the last of the oatmeal mixture to the top of the Peeps and bake. You kind of feel bad putting the Peeps in the oven knowing they won’t be coming out the same as when they went in…poor Peeps.

Melt the brown sugar, butter and corn syrup.

Add in the flour, graham cracker crumbs and oatmeal.

Line up the Peeps.

Fresh out of the oven.

Gooey Goodness

Enjoy!

Peeps S’Mores Bars

Ingredients

6 Tbsp. salted butter
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
6 Tbsp. corn syrup
2 & 1/4 cups rolled oats (not instant, not steel cut)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 & 1/4 cup chips, I used semi-chocolate and butterscotch chips
15 Peeps

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350. Grease an 8x8 pan. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, heat the butter, brown sugar and corn syrup over medium heat, until the butter is melted and sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in the oats, flour, salt and graham cracker crumbs.
Press a little more than half of this mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Place on a wire rack and let cool completely.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the cooled crust. Top with the Peeps, making 3 rows of 5 Peeps. Cover with the remaining topping/crust mixture. Bake for 20 minutes; the Peeps will look slightly misshapen under the topping.
Place on a wire cooling rack and let cool for 20 minutes. Serve warm.

Delicious Chip Bars

March 26, 2014 by Kay 2 Comments

Delicious Chip Bars are a base of brown sugar and buttery goodness with a mixture of chips thrown into the mix that is baked to a soft and chewy sensation.

I call this chip bars because you decide what flavor of chip you would like to add in the recipe. Milk or dark chocolate, white chocolate or butterscotch are favorites of mine. I like to mix it up when making these bars.

What I love about making a cookie into a bar is the time you save. Rather than scooping out tablespoons of cookies, just dump the batter into a prepared cake pan, bake and a short time later you can enjoy these bars.

I like to line my cake pan with foil. I do this so I can lift the baked bars out of the pan and cut them on a cutting board. They are easier to cut this way and I don’t have a dirty pan to clean.

Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.

Fresh out of the oven.

Once they have cooled you can lift the bars out of the pan.

Slice the bars.

Delicious Chip Bars.

Enjoy!

Delicious Chip Bars

Ingredients

2 ¼ cups unsifted flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 ½ sticks softened butter
¾ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 cups chips; milk, semi-sweet, butterscotch or white (you can choose the kind & ratio)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
Line a 9 x 13 pan with foil, letting the excess hang over the edges of the pan by about 1 inch so you can grab those edges and pull the bars from the pan after they have baked. Spray the foil lined pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Mix the flour, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Set aside. Beat the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract until combined. Add the eggs one at a time and mix until combined. Gradually add the flour mixture until combined. Fold in the chips. Turn the batter into the greased pan, smoothing the top with the spatula.
Bake until the top of the bars is golden brown and slightly firm to the touch, 24-28 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Remove the bars from the pan by lifting the foil overhang and transfer them to a cutting board.

Notes

You can skip adding the foil to the pan if you like, just spray the pan directly with nonstick cooking spray.

I was Featured On The Newlywed Pilgrimage

My recipe for Zucchini Muffins was featured on the link party Moonlight & Mason Jars on The Newlywed Pilgrimage. I want to thank Jennifer at The Newlywed Pilgrimage , I greatly appreciate it. It’s always nice to be recognized by a fellow blogger.

Zucchini Muffins are not overly sweet and the chocolate chips compliment the muffin nicely. If you have extra zucchini on hand, give this recipe a try.
