CIJ-Day 3 yummy

It's 12:30 a.m my time so that makes it CIJ Day 3. I'll be going to bed in a few mins so I'll hopefully be able to get up for church. But first I thought I'd share a couple  recipes with you. One recipe comes from a free Nook book. The title of the book is "Christmas Dessert Decadence"


Peanut Butter chip & chocolate chip clusters

1 (10 oz) pk of Reeses Peanut Butter chips

1 (11.5) 0z pk of either Semi-sweet chocalate chips

       or 1 package of milk chocolate chips

1 (12 oz) can cocktail peanuts


Place chips in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 min. Stir. Microwave for another 1-1 1/2 min to be completely melted. After chips are melted stir the mixture until smooth. Stir in peanuts.

Spoon heaping tablespoon of mixture onto wax paper.

Makes app 20 big pieces. Candy will be hard enough to remove from wax paper in about 4 mins. Store in refrigerator.


I've heard Diedra talk on the board about:

Frozen Hot Chocolate

3 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar


1 package Hot Cocoa Mix (about 3 Tablespoons)

2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter

⅓ cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

⅓ cups White Chocolate Chips

12 ounces, fluid Can Evaporated Milk, Divided

4-½ cups Ice

Whipped Cream, To Taste

Mini Marshmallows, To Taste

Combine sugar, cocoa mix, and butter in the top of a double boiler that is set over gently boiling water. Stir often until melted and a smooth paste forms. Add semi-sweet & white chocolate chips; stir. When chips begin to melt, slowly stir in 1/2 cup of evaporated milk. Stir until smooth. Cool to room temperature.

Combine the chocolate base mixture, the remaining evaporated milk and ice in a blender (you can do this in batches) and cover. Blend until smooth. Pour into frosty glasses. Top each with whipped cream. Sprinkle with additional chopped chocolate chips & mini marshmallows, if desired.
