Thin mints. Thin Mints I really don’t think you can top a Girl Scout Thin Mint cookie straight from the freezer. Unless you make your own, of course! Three ingredients. That’s it! And if you happen to pick up some Andes mints baking bits, then you’ve cut your ingredient list by a third. I love it. These are seriously good. Recipe: Thin Mints 1 sleeve of Ritz crackers 1 bag of dark chocolate chips 1/2 tsp. pure peppermint extract Melt chocolate in a glass bowl over a pot of simmering water. Parfait. I like this idea of taking something so democratic and traditional as Yogurt Parfaits and turning it around to create something a bit more provocative.

When Adria first invented this new process of taking liquids and forming them into self encased bubbles of caviar that held juice inside, I was not only mesmerized but excited…excited to know that this new form of food could be applied in so many different ways. Although he may seem a bit high brow and what some may call “gimmicky” and “pretentious”, I get the sneaking suspicion that he not only wants to influence elite chefs all over the world but the masses of people as well.

Unfortunately, none of his methods have been properly democratized because they seem challenging and hard to do. There are also a good number of tools that need to be purchased to achieve the desired effect. These tools are available on the internet and I can easily direct you to the sources. I thought of several different flavors for this new parfait; Crayon. Pressing the ingredients into the crayon mold. Processed nuts, sesame seeds…and moistened with melted marshmellow. The consistency should be somewhat dense and clump together with a squeeze. Another color set, processed corn, nuts, yellow fruity pebbles, bee pollen, super healthy. Before it was powdered, here are the whole ingredients..I used freeze dried corn as well (this stuff is SO good as a snack…SO GOOD..better than popcorn..it tastes like real corn but just dried…but super light not like normal dried corn), I also used peanuts, bee pollen, dried bananas Each crayon was made with color divisions.

Yes the flavor is based on colors, not actual flavors… This was the brown color, it had almonds, black sesami, wild sesame, and some other ingredients…You can use whatever you want, even prunes.. Bee pollen is really good for you as well. These were the green crayon ingredients, peas, green beans, dried kiwi, green fruity pebbles, dried pumpkin seeds. Goji berries for the red crayon. Check here. Cookie dough truffles | the domestic mama and the village cook. Oh baby. Oh yes. You can have your dough and eat it too. No raw eggs here. WOOOOOO~HOOOOO! So, these are no-bake, addictive and may even help you win friends and influence people, rumor has it. It makes a lot, so be sure and share. I told you it makes a lot. You don’t have to dip them, either. But, I did dip some, too…. had to do something with all that chocolate.

To make these you will need: Cookie dough truffles 1/2 cup softened salted butter 3/4 cup light brown sugar 1 tsp vanilla 1 (14oz) can of sweetened condensed milk 2 1/4 c flout * this is a word spell-check always gets me back with{grr} flour is a great substitute for flout-whatever flout is. 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips So easy: combine (in a bowl,) the butter, sugar,vanilla,and sweetened condensed milk. Now, you may be able to form this into balls at this point. Melt 12 oz chocolate chips with 1 tbs shortening or butter. Now, you can dip the balls using a spoon- or fill pastry bags with the melted chocolate and drizzle. [/print_this]
