I wanted to post about Thanksgiving. But somebody *coughs* Staci *coughs* hasn't emailed me the pictures yet.... So instead, we'll talk about my amazing adventures this week.
After a long, stressful semester, I'm not incredibly motivated to start studying for finals- so I'm finding every excuse in the world to not study just quite yet. My favorite thus far, was my baking party last night. Lindsey, Andrea, Nancy and I got together and decided to have a nice girls night before the chaos begins. :)
Of course, I found recipes on Pinterest that sounded fabulous. Our final two choices were Chocolate Cake Truffles and Peppermint White Chocolate Puppy Chow.
The cake truffles were incredibly easy. Bake a cake like you normally would. After allowing it to cool, you crumble the cake into a bowl and add frosting. Mix the crumbled cake and frosting so it's an incredibly moist pile of mush. Roll your pile of mush into little balls. Afterwards, put your tray of cake balls in the freezer for one hour to allow them to cool. After the hour, you just dip them into chocolate and let dry! I used melted Ghiradelli milk chocolate chips and they were fabulous!
Next comes the Peppermint White Chocolate Puppy Chow. The recipe is 6 cups chex, 12 oz of white chocolate, and 14 miniature candy canes. We doubled the recipe and used approximations. :) A full box of Chex for 13 cups, 12 regular sized candy canes, and 24 oz of Nestle White Chocolate Chips. The rest is easy as pie! Melt the chips, add the peppermint, and then mix it into the Chex! After everything is thoroughly mixed, lay the Chex out flat so you don't one giant bowl of hardened mix!
They were both amazingly delicious. I'm not sure which is better!
Are you drooling yet?
XOXO
