Peanut Butter-Chocolate Tart with a Pretzel Crust | The Baker Chick It must be common knowledge by now that I am obsessed with the sweet and salty combo. So, when I saw a recipe in Food & Wine for a pretzel tart crust, I knew I had to make it. The recipe I found though was for a milk chocolate tart – which didn’t sound that great to me. It took me a few days of scheming to envision this tart. I brought this to a dinner party over the weekend and it was a hit! Peanut Butter-Chocolate Tart with a Pretzel Crust Ingredients Crust: 1 stick unsalted butter, softened 1 1/4 cups coarsely crushed thin pretzels 3/4 cup confectioners sugar 1/2 cup all purpose flour 1 large egg 2 oz. bittersweet chocolate, melted Filling: 3 oz. best quality dark or milk chocolate, plus more for curls 1 3/4 cups heavy cream 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter 1/2 cup cream cheese (4 oz.) 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk Instructions In a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat the butter with 3/4 cup of the pretzels and the confectioners' sugar at low speed until creamy.
Caramels Recipe: Soft & Delectable Caramels Tutorial Posted on January 27, 2010 by Christina Who doesn’t love caramels? I’ve got a caramels recipe that’s not only darn delicious, they WON’T stick to y’er fillings! This caramels recipe makes the soft kind of caramels. It’s best to keep them in the fridge and take them out a few minutes before you eat them. These would make perfect shower favors or wedding favors! Caramels Recipe: Ingredients: 1 cup butter 1 pound light brown sugar 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk 1 cup corn syrup 1 pinch salt 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract Butter a 9″ x 13″ inch baking pan. In a heavy bottomed (make sure it is heavy bottomed or the bottom will likely burn!) Pour mixture into your buttered 9″ x 13″ inch baking pan. Once the caramel is cool, use a knife (I used a straight blade cutter that is often used by soapmakers) to cut caramels inside the pan. My pieces were 2.5 inches long and 1/2 inch wide. If you cut your caramels the same size as I did, cut waxed paper into 5″ x 3.5″ squares. Wrapping is a breeze.
It Tastes Like Cake Batter And in addition to yummy in my tummy owl cupcakes, we also had this: It's dip made from Funfetti cake mix. And, in fact, when made it tastes exactly like cake batter. So, if you're a cake batter fan, this dip is for you. The best part? It only has three ingredients. Doesn't get any easier than that. Here's what the recipe calls for: 3tbsp cake mix 2tbsp plain yogurt (feel free to use fat free if you so choose) 1 tbsp cool whip So, this serving size is perfect....for one. However, if you plan on sharing, which you probably will, then you'll need to make a wee bit more. By this I mean that I dumped the whole box of cake mix into a bowl and added yogurt and cool whip until it tasted right. We ate ours with animal crackers, but it would be scrumptious on fruit or graham cracker sticks. If you're looking for an easy dip of the sweet variety, this one's for you. And while you're here, here's a pic. of Lib and I at her party: You should join too; all the cool kids are doin' it.

Colorful Spiral Cookies Just try to be in a bad mood around one of these. Impossible! I was naturally drawn to these because of the bright, eye-catching swirl, not to mention the jumbo sprinkles-encrusted edges! If anything, these should be the SB mascot, because they are everything I love. Bright, happy, buttery and delicious. Another thing I love about these is that they are SLICE and BAKE. I won't go much into preparation here, because that's all in the recipe, but here are some pictures to give you an idea of the process. I wanted to make my dough even on all sides, so I trimmed some away to make an even roll. I used Wilton's rose gel food coloring. You'll then encrust the dough with jumbo (or other) sprinkles. Speaking of ham... Some of you may wonder why there are so many pictures of my dog, Biscuit, included in my posts. I'll say "Biiiissscuit...no-no!" ...and all my disciplinary plans fly out the window. I think this version turned out cute too, although I really like the larger jumbo non-pariels better.
Cookies ‘N Cream Oreo Fudge Brownies Hellooooo, good lookin’! What a way to start the week! :) Last weekend as we were exploring Blue Ridge, GA, we stopped by this charming little bakery. They had all kinds of delicious looking homemade brownies. Oreo brownies, peanut butter brownies, raspberry cream cheese brownies… *groans* Kevin totally had his eye on the Oreo brownies. I used this recipe from Picky Palate for Ice Cream Sundae Brownies. Cookies and cream ice cream, chocolate chips, and hot fudge… It all gets added to the brownie mix! This thick batter is perfect for layering.. nothing is going to sink to the bottom here! Oh, baby. Come to mama. Layering the Oreos whole is totally the way to go! All these babies need is a big, huge scoop of vanilla ice cream. I think I’ll get on that. ;) Cookies ‘N Cream Oreo Fudge Brownies Preheat oven according to directions on the box and spray an 8×8 baking dish generously with cooking spray.
