Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake

*gulp*...my birthday. Whew! There. I said it. I know my mom's proud and shocked. For weeks, I have been planning out what type of cake I wanted to make for my birthday. I wrote down notes for my quintessential cake. Since I'm not very creative, I didn't add any frills such as whipped cream decorations or pieces of fruit, and ultimately, I was happy with that decision. I really, really, really don't mean to brag, but every single layer was perfect. I knew that I couldn't keep this amazing creation in my house for long, so via text messaging and quick visits, I shared slices with my nearby colleagues/friends/neighbors (yes, they wear all three of those hats; I live in graduate housing, remember?

Caramels Recipe: Soft & Delectable Caramels Tutorial

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. The only reason I keep mine in the fridge is for firmness – otherwise, they will keep fine in the cupboard. 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.
