Fudge Made With Baking Chocolate Recipe Reviewed

This is a quick and easy fudge recipe that anyone can use to make a foolproof fudge.  Using baking chocolate bars ensures success.  I also love the taste of Eagle Brand Condensed Milk.  Eagle Brand combined with proven name brand chocolate bars, makes this recipe a real winner and it is, indeed, delicious!

Normally I use Baker's brand baking chocolate bars, but I most recently tried making this fudge with Ghirardelli Premium Bittersweet Baking Chocolate Bars (shown in the photo below).  Because I like the Ghirardelli brownie mix, I thought I would probably like their chocolate bars too.  Bittersweet chocolate has more cacao and less sugar than semi-sweet.  I could tell a slight difference, but that might simply be because I was looking for a difference in taste. Therefore, I would say either brand is excellent.

Everyone in our home loved the fudge.  I added nuts to half of it for the nut lovers and left the other half plain.  

This fudge takes about 20 minutes to make and another 2 hours to set in the refrigerator.   

 

 T-fal Specialty Nonstick Double Boiler 3 Quart Check PriceBaking Bars Fudge Recipe

A double boiler is required for this fudge to keep it from burning while cooking.  A double boiler is a set of 2 stackable pans, one sits inside of the other and is very easy to use.  It cooks with steam instead of direct heat.  

Simply add about 2 inches of water to the lower saucepan, bring it to a boil then turn down to simmer.  Place the upper saucepan filled with ingredients on the top and cook until melted, stirring continuously.

 

Ingredients 

• 20 ounces (5 - 4 oz bars) semi-sweet bakers chocolate – broken into small pieces 
• 1 - 14-ounce can Eagle’s Brand sweetened condensed milk 
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature) cut into pieces
• chopped nut, if desired 

 

Instructions

1. Set out butter an hour ahead of time to bring to room temperature 
2. Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking pan. Line the pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, allowing the excess paper to hang over the sides. 
3. In a top pan of double boiler, combine the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, butter, and chocolate pieces. 
4. Fill the lower saucepan with 2" of water and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer. Place the ingredients (top pan) on top of the bottom pan.  
5. Using a rubber spatula, stir until the chocolate is almost fully melted, about 4 minutes.  
6. Remove the top pan from the heat and stir until the mixture is smooth and the chocolate is fully melted, about 2 minutes.  
7. Add nuts, if desired and spread into the prepared lined pan 
8. Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.  
9. Remove the fudge from the pan using the edges of the parchment paper to lift it out and cut into serving squares. 

 

You can leave the fudge out at room temperature for 1 or 2 weeks or it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. You may also freeze the fudge for up to two months.

Cast Iron Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie Reviewed

There is something special about a chocolate chip cookie, especially when it comes right from a cast iron skillet. A cast iron skillet takes a classic chocolate chip cookie to a whole new level. With crispy edges and a soft, gooey center filled with melted chocolate chips. 

Our grandson Tyler came over a couple of weeks ago with Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip cookie dough. I thought we were going to bake some cookies, but Tyler had another idea. He wanted to make a cast-iron skillet cookie. 

So, we got out my 10-inch cast-iron skillet and greased it lightly with butter. We pressed the cookie dough into the skillet and preheated the oven to 350 degrees.

Here is our chocolate chip cookie pressed into our 10-inch skillet and ready for the oven. We baked our cookie for 30 to 35 minutes, until the edges looked crispy. 

If you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, the ready-made cookie dough works well. If you'd rather make your cookies from scratch, find my recipe here: Homemade Double Chocolate Chip Cookies.

We served this cookie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and it was delicious.

A cast-iron skillet chocolate chip cookie shows how a simple recipe can become an unforgettable dessert.

Grab yourself a cast-iron skillet and some cookie dough and try this delightful dessert.

Cavatelli Maker Review Make Homemade Pasta Easy

 Cavatelli is a traditional Italian pasta with a small rolled shape. You can find cavatelli at your local grocery store, but you can also make them at home.

This cavatelli maker has been in our family for years. My mother gave this to Fran and me shortly after we were married. We have been married for 54 years, and I don't know how long she had it before giving it to us. I guess this simple kitchen tool will outlive us all.

We make our homemade cavatelli with three simple ingredients. You can find the recipe here on my blog:  Homemade Cavatelli.

Here is a plate of our homemade cavatelli made fresh with our cavatelli maker. I remember my grandmother making these all by hand. She would shape every single one with a simple roll of her finger. The cavatelli maker makes this process much easier.

Here is a short video of our grandson Tyler cranking out the cavatelli. 

We always make several batches at one time so we can freeze them for later. Check out our recipe above for ingredients and instructions for making these with the cavatelli maker.

The cavatelli maker is easy to clean and store. Just rinse it with warm water until the rollers and blade are clean. 

Amazon has a nice selection of cavatelli makers.

We made several homemade pizzas of different varieties last week. Fran wanted to make one with garden tomatoes and ricotta cheese.

It was so easy to make, using homemade pizza dough and fresh ingredients from the garden.

The measurements are approximate, as we really didn't measure. You can use less or more, whatever you like best.

Ingredients:

• Homemade pizza dough (My recipe)
• 3/4 cup of whole milk ricotta cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (divided)
• 1 large tomato, sliced thin
• 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions:

1. Roll out the dough in a greased pizza pan.
2. Spread a layer of ricotta cheese, about 1/4-inch thick. Add the minced garlic over top.
3. Spread some shredded mozzarella over that.
4. Place sliced tomatoes over the pizza.
5. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
6. Sprinkle some Italian Seasoning, and add more mozzarella.
7. Bake the pizza at 450 degrees for 15 minutes. The cheese will bubble, and the crust will be brown.

Let it cool for a few minutes, slice it, and enjoy. If you like ricotta cheese, then you are going to love this pizza. This pizza is so easy to make, and if you don't want to make your own pizza dough, you can find it at your local grocery store.

The Best Homemade Peach Pie Recipe

 Homemade peach pie is something special. This peach pie is sweet, juicy, and delicious; your friends and family will love it.

My Aunt Mary Carol made the best peach pie that I've ever had. So, I thought I would give this a try.

Homemade Peach Pie Reviewed

The fresh peaches make all the difference; you'll want to find nice, ripe peaches, but not too soft.

I used Pillsbury double pie crust for this recipe. If you want to make your own, you can find my pie crust recipe here: Cast Iron Skillet Apple Pie.

Ingredients:

• 1 double pie crust
• 5 large ripe peaches, Peeled, pitted, and sliced
• 1 cup sugar
• 5 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 egg beaten
• More sugar for the top

Instructions:

1. Place all the cut-up peaches in a large bowl. Add the sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, and cinnamon.
2. Mix with a spoon until everything is combined.
3. Set the peaches aside while you prepare the crust.
4. Lay out your bottom pie crust and slightly roll the edges all around so it is larger than 9 inches. Lay it in your pie plate so the crust hangs over the edge.
5. Add the peach mixture into the pie plate.
6. Roll out the top crust the same way and place it over the peaches. Form the crust all around the pie.
7. Brush the top with the beaten egg, then sprinkle with sugar.
8. Loosely cover the edges (crust) with tin foil.
9. Bake the pie at 375 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes, until the top is golden brown.
10. Let cool on a rack for 30 to 45 minutes before slicing.
11. Note: I always place a cookie sheet on the oven rack below the pie in case of any spills.

This homemade peach pie is the perfect way to enjoy one of summer's sweetest fruits. I don't believe it beat my aunt's peach pie, but it sure was close.

French Boned Chicken Recipe Reviewed

I love cookbooks!  I have been "collecting" them my entire adult life.  My French Boned Chicken recipe is one I discovered in a cookbook over 30 years ago and I have been making it ever since.  

I have never served this chicken recipe to anyone that didn't like it.  While some may not eat the bacon or the dried beef that layers the bottom of the dish, they still enjoy the tender chicken and sauce.

The french boned chicken recipe is very easy to make.  It is prepared in a casserole dish which makes for an easy clean up and doesn't make a mess in my oven.

I normally serve the french boned chicken on top of plain white rice for household.  However, I occasionally make wild rice too so guests have another option.  We do have one family member that prefers wild rice and that is how I started making both types of rice when we have guests.

 

French Boned Chicken Recipe   

Ingredients 

The Dried Beef is the ingredient 
that is not common in many kitchens

• 8 Thin-sliced Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts - (4 Breasts) Or 4 thicker that can be cut in half 
• Bacon (uncooked) 
• 1 Armour Sliced Dried Beef 
• 3 Cans Cream of Celery Soup 
• ¾ Cup Water 
• Rice

 

Directions 

1. Wash & Cut (if necessary) chicken. 
2. Rinse each piece of dried beef in warm water (about 10 seconds per slice). 
3. Layer the bottom of the casserole dish with the dried beef. 
4. Wrap each piece of chicken with 1 slice of bacon (uncooked) and lay on the dried beef. 
5. Sprinkle chicken with pepper if desired 
6. In a mixing bowl, mix celery soup with water and pour over chicken. 
7. Cook on 300° (Convection Oven 275°) uncovered for 2 hours.
8. Cook 2 cups of Rice & Serve

A Review of Flavored Coffee Recipes

I was visiting a friend today, and she made the most delicious coffee I have had in a long time.  It was cinnamon-orange with a hint of vanilla.  It was delightful, so I asked her how she made it.  Imagine my surprise when she told me one of the ingredients was Jello!  She actually uses her coffee maker and simply dumps all the ingredients into the filter with the coffee and out pours tangy orange coffee!

Here's how to make it:

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup of ground coffee
• 1/2 teaspoon of orange Jello
• 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Dump all dry ingredients into a coffee filter, gather it up and shake to mix.
2. Add the extract in the center of the filter.
3. Turn on your coffee maker and brew normally.

You can make this with tea as well, just make your tea as usual, then add the vanilla, cinnamon and Jello to the tea pot and stir to mix.  In tea it is extremely flavorful, and is delicious with butter cookies or scones.

Two Recipes for Chocolate Coffee

Chocolate flavored coffee is really delicious, one of the easiest ways to make it is by using chocolate syrup:

• 1 cup brewed coffee
• 1-2 teaspoons chocolate syrup

Combine the brewed coffee and chocolate syrup in a large mug. Stir well to combine, then top with whipped cream if you like.

Another way to make chocolate coffee is by using cocoa powder. This method involves adding cocoa powder to a cup of brewed coffee, stirring well to combine.

• 1 cup brewed coffee
• 1-2 teaspoons cocoa powder

Pumpkin Spice Coffee

If you want a taste of pure fall, this is the drink for you.  You can use store bought pumpkin spice, but I prefer to make my own so I can tweak the recipe to how I like it.  I usually put more cinnamon and nutmeg and a bit less clove.  I use pumpkin spice in other things, like cookies, pie or pumpkin bread, so I make a lot at a time and store it in a mason jar.  You can buy the spices already ground up, or you can buy them whole and use a spice grinder to grind them yourself. Here's the recipe for homemade pumpkin spice:

• 6 tablespoons of cinnamon
• 4 teaspoons of ginger
• 4 teaspoons of nutmeg
• 3 teaspoons of allspice
• 3 teaspoons of cloves

To make Pumpkin Spice Coffee:

1. Fill your coffee maker with water and insert a filter
2. Put one heaping teaspoon of pumpkin spice on top of 1/3 cup of your favorite coffee in the filter 
3. Stir the two ingredients together thoroughly
4. Turn on your coffee maker and brew as normal 

I love drinking this coffee on my rear deck on crisp fall mornings with my homemade raised doughnuts.  Fall bliss!

Mexican Coffee

Mexican Coffee is a spicy blend that is truly different from regular coffee.  The ingredients may sound like a strange combination, but believe me, it is a really unforgettable taste that is great for after dinner or a mid-afternoon break.

Ingredients

• 6 oz. hot coffee
• 1 tablespoon cocoa
• 1 teaspoon dark brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
• 1/4 cup milk (can use skim or 2%)
• whipped cream (I use the squirt from a can kind)

Directions: 

1. In a mason jar, pour the hot coffee and brown sugar and screw the lid on and shake till all the sugar is melted and there are no lumps.
2. Add the cocoa, cinnamon, and ground cayenne into the jar, screw the lid on and shake till all ingredients are incorporated.
3. In a large coffee mug, pour in the milk and a pinch of cinnamon, stir and place in the microwave for 30 seconds.
4. Remove from the microwave and pour the coffee mixture in the cup and top with whip cream.

This is a great drink to serve in the evening after a barbeque or while sitting on the couch with your sweetie watching a movie.  Spicy!

Peppermint Coffee

This coffee is always a hit around the holidays!  Try it at your next gathering, I bet it will be a big hit!

Ingredients

• 6 oz. extra strong coffee
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract

Directions:

• ▢ 

1. Place the milk, sugar, cocoa powder and peppermint extract in a medium saucepan over low heat. 
2. Stir gently until heated, DO NOT boil!
3. Pour the coffee in and stir to mix, tasting to see if you feel it needs more sugar, peppermint or cocoa.
4. Pour in a cup and top with whipped cream and a candy cane

Every time I make this, everyone just loves it!  They say the peppermint, cocoa and coffee flavors mix beautifully!

I know this last recipe isn't actually coffee, but it is a recipe you will want, trust me!  This is the hands down most delicious coffee smoothie you will ever have in your mouth, guaranteed!

Coffee Smoothie

Ingredients:

• 1 cup black coffee (lukewarm is better)
• 1/2 frozen banana
• 1 tablespoon peanut butter
• 1 cup milk 
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 tablespoon cocoa

Directions:

1. Cut up the frozen banana (you can use a 3/4 cup of ice if you don't like bananas) and place it in the blender.  
2. Pulse a few times to break the banana up and then add the peanut butter, milk, vanilla and cocoa.  Blend on medium until smooth then switch to puree for 30 seconds.  
3. Pour into a smoothie cup and enjoy!

I think all of these drinks are exceptionally delicious.  I love to making things that are unusual and surprise my guests. All these drinks are good at doing that!  Try a few out and see what you think, especially during the upcoming holidays.

Crumpets for High Tea ~ A Recipe For You

Nothing says summer more than a nice afternoon tea with friends in the shadow of a lovely tree!  Okay, maybe I'm behind the times but it's nice to have a nostalgic visit  to bygone days. If you are lucky enough  to live in a city or village that still has a nice tea house, why not make that date for a Summer Tea with some good friends.

Hubby and I have gone back to making a lot of baked goods.  Breads, rolls, and of course crumpets and English Muffins.  

We are not into the cakes so much, even though they can be part of an afternoon tea.  Somehow with our age, the sweets just aren't as appetizing as they once were.  I guess we are concerned for our aging figures,  NOT!  But the truth is that we prefer the savory things over the sweets.  I know, we are weird, but that is how it is for us.  If you enjoy the sweets go right ahead and enjoy.

I'm sharing with you our recipe for some lovely crumpets that are light airy and can be used in many ways.  So Here you go:

CRUMPETS FOR HIGH TEA AND MORE (yield  for recipe 6 crumpets)

INGREDIENTS:

150 g (1 cup) white flour, plain all purpose flour works

200 ml (3/4 cup + 1 TBSP) warm water (warm and not cold)

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp white sugar

1 tsp baking powder

YEAST MIXTURE

1 tsp yeast (instant or rapid rise works)

1 TBSP warm water 

DURING COOKING 

2 TBSP unsalted or sweet butter

Now the the how to!

• Place flour, water and salt in a bowl and whisk for 2minutes
• Dissolve the yeast into 1 TBSP warm water in a small bowl
• add yeast mixture sugar and baking powder into a bowl and whisk it all for 30 seconds 
• cover with cling wrap or a plate and place in a very warm place for 15 to 30 minutes until the surface becomes nice and foamy.  This will not double like bread does, but it will increase in volume a little bit.

Now if you've been reading these reviews, you know that a while ago I posted a review on baking rings.  These are perfect for making crumpets!  Baking rings review right here.

Now let's continue making crumpets!

Grease 2 or 3 rings, or better yet, spray them with non-stick  spray.  

In a non-stick skillet coat with some melted butter and then add the rings to the skillet as well.

On medium high heat warm the skillet and rings.

Pour 1/4 cup batter into the rings.  Do not over fill, they will rise in the rings.

Cook on medium heat for 1 and 1/2 minutes and then on low heat for another 2 to 4 minutes.  Bubbles should stop showing up on the surface of your crumpets.  

When this is happening, it's time to flip the crumpet over and cook for just 30 seconds on the other side,without the rings.

Transfer to a cooling rack for a few minutes and enjoy!  Some people say they are better on day 2.  But I can't help myself, they are usually gone very quickly.

Now this might seem like a lot of work, but if you have nice cool day, you can make these up and any number and freeze them for a later date.

Don't forget to invite you friends to join you for some fresh baked crumpets and honey, jam or fresh fruit compote.  Yum!

Cool Down with Cold Treats on the 4th of July

Everybody loves desserts and specialty treats for the 4th of July celebrations.  Fireworks & outdoor fun are a huge part of the holiday, especially when we can stretch the activities across several days or an extended weekend.  

Unfortunately, July is a really hot month for many of us.  We need cool water and refreshing treats to keep us going throughout the day.  The specialty treats are especially awesome when they are easy to grab and carry out to the picnic table, pool side, lake or even on a boat.  

Below are some excellent cool treats that we can make ahead and have ready to serve at a moments notice.  Glass is beautiful, but I do recommend making the 4th of July treats in clear disposable transparent plastic cups or small bowls and serve with plastic spoons when needed.  Making everything disposable allows us to focus on fun and not washing dishes.

Easy No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake Dessert

 Our granddaughters are visiting for the week, and we made this easy strawberry cheesecake dessert for the 4th of July. We used strawberry pie filling, but you can use any pie filling you like. Following is our review of how to make this easy and delicious dessert.

Ingredients:

1 SaraLee Pound Cake (cut into small pieces)

2 cans of strawberry pie filling

1 24.3oz Philadelphia No-Bake cheesecake filling (You can find this at Wal-Mart)

1 container of Cool Whip

We thought pictures would be best for our step-by-step instructions.

Here, Giada is cutting the cake into about 1-inch pieces.

Giada and Guiles spread the cut-up cake into a 13 x 9-inch glass baking dish and mixed in the pie filling.

Now they are spreading the no-bake cream cheese filling evenly over the top.

Spread the cool whip over the cream cheese filling. Now it was time to decorate our patriotic dessert with fresh blueberries and strawberries. Set it in the refrigerator for about two hours before serving.

This was easy and fun to do. The girls finished and decorated this in about 20 minutes. So there is plenty of time to make this for your 4th of July celebration.

Have a Happy and Safe 4th of July
