This cake is so easy and filled with scrumptious goodies! Start with baking a plain chocolate cake and smother it with deliciousness! Warning- this cake disappears if you don't watch it closely!
1 box chocolate cake mix water, oil and eggs (called for on back of box) 1 - 16 oz. jar caramel sauce 1 can sweetened condensed milk 1 medium tub of cool whip 1 cup toffee bits. Make cake as directed on back of box. While warm, poke holes in the cake. Pour sweetened condensed milk over cake and into holes. Pour caramel sauce over cake as well. Chill cake for 2-3 hours. Right before serving, top with tub of cool whip. Sprinkle on Toffee bits. This is seriously the most superior queso dip I've ever made!! Nothing can compare!
4 green chiles 2 jalapeno peppers 1 tablespoon oil 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 1/2 sweet onion, diced 2 garlic cloves, minced 1/8 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon pepper 1 1/2 cups half and half 1 tablespoon cornstarch 16 ounces sharp white cheddar cheese, freshly grated 8 ounces monterey jack cheese, freshly grated fresh cilantro, for topping homemade tortilla chips, for serving! To roast the peppers, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Rub the peppers with a bit of oil and place them on a baking sheet. Roast until the outside skins begin to blister and char, about 30 minutes. Remove the peppers and place them in a resealable plastic bag for 20 minutes to steam. (To shorten this process, you can grill or roast the peppers over your gas stovetop until charred, then steam in the resealable bag.) Once the peppers have "steamed" in the bag, remove the blistered skin. Slice off the tops and remove the seeds (unless you want tons of heat), then dice the peppers. Heat a saucepan over medium heat and add the oil and butter. Stir in the peppers, onions and garlic. Season with the salt and pepper. Cook until the onion softens, about 5 to 6 minutes. Slowly stream in 1 cup of the half and half, whisking the entire time. In a bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup half and half and cornstarch until no lumps remain to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the saucepan and cook for a minute until the milk thickens. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the grated cheese, one small handful at a time, until melted. Transfer the mixture to a crock, larger bowl or a small crockpot heating on low. Top with fresh cilantro if you'd like. Serve immediately with chips! These are the absolute best shortbread cookies I've ever had!
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened 1/3 cup cane sugar (also called turbinado or sugar in the raw) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/3 cup macadamia nuts, finely crushed 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips Line cookie sheets with baking mats or parchment paper. Make sure you've crushed your macadamia nuts very small. Use a food processor to make it easier. Mix butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. You can also use a hand mixer. Add vanilla, flour, and salt and mix until combined. Mix in finely crushed nuts and chocolate chips and stir combined. Scoop 1 tablespoon balls of cookie dough onto prepared baking sheets. These don’t spread much so you can place them closer together than a normal cookie. Press dough balls down slightly with the palm of your hand. Chill cookies on cookie sheets for 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake chilled cookies for about 12 minutes, until they start to get golden around the edges. Let cool completely before removing from cookie sheets. Cookies are crumbly and buttery. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month. In my opinion, these are the perfect brownies! They're fudgy, yet still cakelike and can soothe all my chocolate cravings!
4 ounces chopped unsweetened chocolate 3/4 cup unsalted butter 2 cups sugar 2 1/2 teaspoons real vanilla (use the real stuff) 3 lightly beaten eggs 1 cup flour 1 1/2 teaspoons salt Optional: 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder Optional: 1 cup lightly toasted nuts &/or chocolate chips Preheat oven to 350° and grease a 9 x 9 pan. Melt chocolate & butter in microwave for 2:15 minutes and stir. Stir in sugar, then vanilla, then eggs, then salt, espresso powder (optional) & flour. Stir in nuts &/or chocolate chips if you so desire. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 33 – 36 minutes (until center is just set). Cool & cut into squares. This is a truly cherished family favorite of mine! Don't be scared to throw extra cheese and toppings in there- the more the merrier! (I'm guilty of going overboard on the cheese most times!)
5 or 6 medium sized potatoes, scrubbed water 1 cup Whole Milk 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour 1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 2 green onions, trimmed and sliced thin (use green and white), reserve 1 tablespoon for sprinkling 1 heaping cup shredded cheddar cheese (or double it if you're a cheeseaholic like me!) Healthy handful of bacon bits! Slice potatoes into 1/4" wide slices and then boil for about 25 minutes, or until tender when poked with a fork. Drain and set aside for now. Preheat oven to 375F and grease a large baking dish. (I use a standard 13x9) Whisk together the milk and flour in a large bowl until well combined. Add the sour cream, salt, pepper, and whisk to combine until smooth. Stir in the green onions; set aside. Add potatoes to the milk-sour cream mixture, and gently stir and toss to coat. Allow potatoes to sit and soak up some of the cream mixture for about 5 minutes. Transfer the potatoes and any leftover cream mixture to prepared baking dish, making sure the potatoes lay mostly flat because edges or corners that are jutting up will be prone to burning. Evenly top with cheese and bacon bits and bake for about 30 minutes, or until cheese is melted and lightly golden browned. Garnish with reserved green onions before serving. These are my absolute favorite cookies to make! My whole family loves them and I can barely remove them from the pan before they're getting snatched away by sticky fingers!
2 1/4 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup butter softened 1 1/4 cups brown sugar 1/4 cup white sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla 2 eggs 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 1 cup chopped pecans Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Stir flour, baking soda and salt in medium bowl; set aside. In separate bowl, cream butter, brown sugar and sugar. Add vanilla and eggs, one at a time mixing just until incorporated. Add dry mixture slowly to butter mixture. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 9-11 minutes or until the tops start to brown. If you want them flatter and crispier, flatten slightly with a fork or spoon back. This is a super easy dish that's perfect for a worry-free weeknight dinner! It's a hit with my whole family, even the picky ones!
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts 1 can evaporated milk ½ C. flour 1½ tsp. salt ⅛ tsp. pepper ½ C. butter 1 can Cream of Chicken soup ¼ C. water Dip each chicken piece in a bowl filled with about ⅛ of your evaporated milk. Coat well and then roll it in the flour seasoned with salt and pepper. Melt butter in 9x13 pan and cook the chicken in the melted butter for 1 hour at 350. Mix together water, can of soup, and the rest of your evaporated milk. After chicken has been baking for 1 hour, turn chicken and pour soup mixture on top. Bake for 30 more minutes until golden brown. A chocolate lover's dream divine!
For the Crust: 2 cups finely ground chocolate cookie crumbs 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted For the Filling: 1 cup heavy cream 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped (about 1 + 1/3 cups) 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 1 large egg 1/4 cup whole milk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract For the Topping: 1 pint heavy or whipping cream 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 1/3 cup sugar 4 ounces chopped dark chocolate bar Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Make the crust by combining the cookie crumbs, cocoa powder and butter with a fork until well combined. Add to a 9-inch pie pan and press into the bottom and up the sides. Chill 15 minutes. Bake 12 minutes then allow to cool completely. Reduce oven heat to 300 degrees F. For the filling heat the cream in a saucepan over medium heat until small bubbles start to break the surface. Add the chocolate and cocoa powder to a medium heat proof bowl. Pour the hot cream over top and allow to sit 3 minutes then whisk until smooth. Whisk in butter then egg, milk and vanilla. Pour into pie crust and bake until the edges are set but the center is still a little jiggly about 26-30 minutes. Cool on wire rack. Meanwhile make the topping by whipping the cream, cocoa powder and sugar together on high speed until stiff peaks form. Store in refrigerator until pie has cooled. Top the cooled pie with the whipped cream and sprinkle the top with chopped chocolate. Serve at room temperature or chill. I prefer it chilled. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator 3 - 4 days. These cookies are so moist and delicious! The jello and pudding mixes add a ton of flavor! You can always change the flavors and try different combinations for all new cookies!
