Desperate Times, Desperate Measures: alternate hot fudge recipe

When in the course of human events you find yourself with sleeping children, husband away on business, and in desperate need of hot fudge sauce, with nary a jar of it or cream to be found ....

heat in a saucepan: 
1 can coconut cream (Trader Joe's rich version of coconut milk)

when hot, add: 
1 bag chocolate chips or chocolate chunks 
1 13 month expired dark chocolate bar from the back of the chocolate stashed, broken up

stir, then add a dash of vanilla.  

Serve over ice cream or sliced bananas.  


This sauce is unintentionally gluten free, could be dairy free depending on the chocolate used, etc ...

My top secret brownie recipe

This gets really good reviews every time I bring it to work, so I figured I would share.  

1)  buy a box of brownie mix (or better yet get it practically free with a double coupon on sale)

2)  store on shelf for really long time

3)  open brownie mix, preheat oven

4) replace "oil" listed on box with equal quantity of melted butter

5) replace "water" listed on box with equal quantity of cold leftover coffee

6) add eggs per instructions, stir it all together

7) add a handful of roadkill bunny (i.e. chopped dark chocolate - the lindt store sells broken bunnies cheap post Easter)




















8) add a handful of mini marshmallows

You will have to bake this a bit longer than the box says because of the extra gooiness from the added chocolate and marshmallow.      I like it served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Mocha Shake & Links: recipes I'd like to try

This hardly requires a recipe, but in case you happen to have "extra" coffee ice cream in your freezer right now:


Mocha Shake:


~ 1 cup strong cold coffee
~ 3/4 pint coffee ice cream
~ 1/2 chocolate bar (.75 oz)
~ 1 tbsp cocoa powder
~ 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
~ 5 ice cubes








Blend coffee, cocoa powder and ice until cocoa powder is completely mixed in. Add the chocolate syrup, ice cream and chocolate bar, and blend again. Split between two glasses, and, if you're feeling fancy, garnish with chocolate shavings (run a potato peeler down the side of a chocolate bar).













A few links of recipes I've picked up here and there that look great:


Chicken Cheese Puffs


Apple Dumplings - these look pretty easy, too!


Pecan Pie Bars


and an oldy but a goody I haven't made since I was old enough to drive:


Lemon Bars
