Chocolate Filled Strawberries
RECIPE INFO

Submitted By ol-blue
Date 6/15/2007
INGREDIENTS
I would think it would be so neat to put these strawberries in those 1/2 dozen clear plastic egg container that I have seen on the Rachel Ray show. If you are lucky enough to have the clear plastic egg containers in your area then you would not have to cut the bottom of the strawberries off. Do this only if you want them to stand on a plate.The empty strawberry containers work great also.
Enjoy! Debbie
Chocolate Filled Strawberries
STRAWBERRIES; Large.
1 cup(s) SEMI SWEET CHOCOLATE CHIPS
1 cup(s) WHIPPING CREAM; Heavy.
1/8 cup(s) SUGAR
STAWBERRY LEAVES; Or Mint Leaves.
_____
DIRECTIONS
Remove stems from strawberries.Partially hollow out strawberries.
Cut a slice off the bottom of each strawberry so that it will stand on end.
Melt chocolate chips over a double boiler or in the microwave in a microwave safe bowl.
Cook and stir just until the chocolate melts.
The chocolate will continue to melt as you stir.
You do not want the melted chocolate to be hot.
Pour the whipping cream into a chilled bowl.
Use an mixer on high speed, beat until soft peaks form.
Add the sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
Add the melted chocolate into the whipped cream as quickly as possible, and continue to mix on high speed until combined, about 1 minute.
Transfer Chocolate Cream mixture to a pastry bag with a star tip or spoon into a large plastic bag with a ¼ inch wide opening cut at one corner.
Pipe the cream into the strawberry holes, filling completely and mounding mixture a little.
Place a strawberry leaf or mint sprig in the top of each strawberry.
Refrigerate.
It is best to eat the strawberries within 24 hours.
I usually use two 16 ounce boxes of strawberries and have a little chocolate cream left over.
It all depends on the size of the berries.

Chocolate Eclairs over coals
RECIPE INFO
Servings 6
Submitted By Diana
Date 6/2/2003
INGREDIENTS
1 can Pilsbury Bread Sticks (2 bread sticks per eclair)1 lg. box instant vanilla pudding (or 2 sm. boxes)
1 can chocolate frosting
Hot coals
2" +/- dia. long stick (tree branch)(the more sticks you have the quicker you can make these eclairs)
aluminum foil
DIRECTIONS
Prepare the pudding and put aside (earlier in the day is good). Wrap the stick with aluminum foil. Take the 1st bread stick and wrap it in a spiral starting at the tip of the stick and work your way down the stick. Make sure you overlap the dough a bit. Then continue with the 2nd bread stick. Now take your hand and kind of squish the dough around the stick so that it all seals and there are no open gaps. Spin the dough over the hot coals. Cook it slowly so that the dough puffs up (don't worry if it doesn't). Keep it from burning. Tap on the dough to see if it is done (it should sound hollow). Fill with vanilla pudding and put chocolate frosting on outside. (this is a good job for the kids to do for it gets messy but taste awesome!!) Enjoy!

Submitted By Camping Life Magazine
Date 8/29/2001
INGREDIENTS
2 Packages, 10 count each, refrigerator biscuits2 Sticks butter, melted
1 Packet dry onion soup mix (optional)
DIRECTIONS
Grease a ring pan, bundt pan or angel-food-type pan well. Using clean scissors, cut each biscuit into four peices. Dip each piece in melted butter, then in the onion soup mix, and arrange in the baking pan. Top with remaining butter; save soup mix for another batch. The pan should be no more than two-thirds full. Bake at 375 degrees until puffy, brown and done through. Let stand 3 to 4 minutes, then turn out onto a flate plate. To create a sweet, pull-apart bread for breakfast, omit the soup mix and dip pieces in cinnamon-sugar instead.If you don't have a ring pan or angel food-type pan, grease the outside of a clean empty can, put some fishing weights into it to hold it down, and place it in the center of a greased baking pan. The bread requires this center "chimney" for thorough baking.

Crunchy Almond-Caramel Brittle
RECIPE INFO

Submitted By Karin Frei from Switzerland
Date 12/13/2000
INGREDIENTS
1 cup sugar1 cup brown sugar-molasses
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups almond chips
DIRECTIONS
Add 1 cup of sugar to pan, heat, stir constantlyAdd 1 cup of molasses and cook until sugar is dissolved, mixture bubbles
Add 1 tsp. of vanilla, sugar starts to smell like caramel (about 5 minutes)
Add 2 cups of almond chips added to the hot mixture and stir for another
minute (don't overcook, take instantly off the heat when almonds smell finely
roasted, or else it might start to smell burnt).
Spread mixture quickly on a well greased baking sheet and roll with
greased (!!) rolling pin about 5 mm thick. Let cool, break into pieces.
If you want squares, cut while mixture is still warm and soft.
Careful: Melted sugar is exceedingly hot! Don't lick or stick fingers in
it while cooking or removing from pan - you'll end up having blisters!
And do use regular Brown Sugar-Molasses, not the ones that taste like
licorice.
Wrapped in a nice box, these candies also make a brilliant present!
