sweet treats

Above are smores on a stick.
Pretty basic:
need jumbo marshmellows, lollipop sticks, semi-sweet chocolate, and graham crackers
-melt semi sweet chocolate in a pot over a pot of boiling water

-roll in the chocolate
-roll in graham cracker crumbs
-refridgerate for four hours!
-VIOLA!

Below are cake lollipops.
Had a bunch of friends and kiddos over for "water park" adventure! I made them sweets!
I saw these on another website, I know they are very popular, so I tried it.
-I took Duncan Heinz chocolate cake mix
-baked it according to instructions in cake pan

-took the cake mixed into crumbs in a bowl, mixed with 8 oz of frosting, using hands mix together to a thick consistancy that can be rolled into balls
-place on cookie sheet and refrigerate for two hours.
melt semi sweet chocolate chips
roll cake balls into chocolate
roll into toppings, I used graham crackers, m&ms, and nuts

-refridgerate for four hours
-VOILA!

  1. cool s'mores. thought you'd like to know an easier way to temper the chocolate without using the double pot method. if you put the chocolate in a glass microwave safe bowl, you can microwave the morsels in 10 second increments (stirring after each go round) until it is melted. depending on the amount of morsels being melted, the entire process can take as little as a minute. i've never had it take longer than 3. using the microwave can result in a nicer temper in the chocolate itself, too.
