First of all
for your delicious recipes everybody
I amover here and looking forward to trying so many of them.
I just have a ? I don't have a double broiler--not because of the cost but I have very small kitchen and try not to buy appliance/pots, etc unless they are something I'd use at least 3 times a week.
So I have read many recipes that say to microwave the chocolate. I have tried this at least 10 times. Guess I am a real goober.
I can't seem to do it without the chocolate burning. I do it very slooooowwly. Stop and stir, 15 more seconds, or just 10, stir again, etc, but it never seems to melt until many many stops and starts--and by then it smells/looks/IS burned.
Any suggestions?

You have to do it pretty slow. Put it in for maybe 20 seconds at a time and each time take it out and stir it for awhile. It burns real easy. HTH

I got this one a few years ago out of the coupon insert of the Sunday paper. They have been a hit with my family and now everyone expects them.
Santa’s Snickers Surprises
2 Sticks Butter (softened)
1 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter
1 Cup Light Brown Sugar
1 Cup Sugar
2 Eggs
1 Tsp. Vanilla
3 ½ Cups All Purpose Flour (sifted)
1 Tsp. Baking Soda
½ Tsp. Salt
1 Pkg. (13 Oz.) Snickers Miniatures
1 Pkg. (11 Oz.) Dove Brand Milk or Dark Chocolate Gifts
Combine the butter, peanut butter and sugars using a mixer on a medium to low speed until light and fluffy. Slowly add eggs and vanilla until thoroughly combined. Then mix in flour, salt & baking soda. Cover and chill dough for 2-3 hours.
Unwrap all Snickers miniatures. Remove dough from refrigerator. Divide into 1 tablespoon pieces and flatten. Place a Snickers in the center of each piece of dough. Form the dough into a ball around each Snickers miniature. Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 325 degrees for 10-12 minutes. (Baking time and temp may need to be adjusted if using more than 1 tablespoon of dough per cookie.
Let cookies cool on baking rack or wax paper. Drizzle melted Dove Bars over the top of each cookie. Makes about 2 dozen cookies.

Do you have a metal or glass bowl that will fit inside one of your sauce pans without touching the bottom? That is what I do and it works just as good and sooo much better than in the microwave:yup:

2 lb confectionary sugar
12 oz bag chocolate chips
½ block paraffin wax
Melt butter. Add peanut butter, vanilla and confectionary sugar.
Roll into balls. Cool in fridge or freezer. Melt wax and chocolate chips. Dip peanut butter balls into chocolate.

I looked at this recipe yesterday and wanted to try making some for desert today.
When I was shopping I looked at a grocery store and DH was shopping elsewhere and I asked him to check as well. Neither of the stores we shopped at had any Butter Pecan Cake mix --there was no spot for it at all on the shelf.
I was sooo bummed. Sounded simplewanted to have some.

Im sorry you couldnt find any i can always find it at just about any grocery store or walmart. Well im posting a new recipe, many of you have probably heard of this before, and its not a cookie recipe.But gosh, its name definitely fits this recipe.Its a cake recipe but still simple and easy.
Better than Sex Cake
1 pkg. milk chocolate cake mix
1 jar caramel ice cream topping
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 small container Cool Whip
2 Heath candy bars or any toffee flavored candy bar
Bake cake as directed on box for a 9 x13 pan. As soon as cake is done , take a toothpick and pokeholes throughout the whole cake. Then pour milk and caramel over top of cake. Let cake cool completely before topping with Cool Whip. Crush up candy bars and sprinkle over top of the cool whip. Keep this cake refigerated unless serving it.
Hope you enjoy it!
