Had to share

This blog is from:

The Domestic Mama & The Village Cook

cookie dough candyOh baby.
Oh yes.
You can have your dough and eat it too. No raw eggs here.
WOOOOOO~HOOOOO! (spell-check hates it when I put my words in there)
So, these are no-bake, addictive and may even help you win friends and influence people, rumor has it.
It makes a lot, so be sure and share. My girlfriend said if you go to the fire station with cookies they will let your kid check out the fire truck. I might go do that with these. Fire trucks are cool.
I told you it makes a lot. There was still dough after this batch.
You don’t have to dip them, either. Honestly dipping is a pain in the booty. I am not a huge fan of dipping things. This was much easier. Yay for being lazy!
cookie dough trufflesBut, I did dip some, too…. had to do something with all that chocolate. I know you understand.
To make these you will need: (recipe adapted from one I saw online… I need to get the link asap)
[print_this]
Cookie dough truffles
1/2 cup softened salted butter
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 (14oz) can of sweetened condensed milk
2 1/4 c flout * this is a word spell-check always gets me back with{grr} flour is a great substitute for flout-whatever flout is. Hmmm!
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
So easy:
combine (in a bowl,)  the butter, sugar,vanilla,and sweetened condensed milk. Add the flour and chocolate chips.
Now, you may be able to form this into balls at this point. I however, could not- I think it’s the summertime in Florida problem. That’s why we have refrigerators. Chill your dough if you need to. Maybe a half hour. Roll into walnut sized balls. Place balls in the freezer for 2hrs.
Melt  12 oz chocolate chips with 1 tbs shortening or butter. To melt, place in a microwave at 25 second intervals, stirring between each. Be careful- overheated chocolate can seize up. Just get it till it’s starting to melt and stir away, the chocolate will continue to melt and smooth out. My little tip. I have ruined a lot of chocolate in my days.
Now, you can dip the balls using a spoon- or fill pastry bags with the melted chocolate and drizzle. You don’t have pastry bags? Okay, in this instance a plastic bag should work. But, next time you see some of those disposable pastry bags…get them. They are so worth it.  :) So, drizzle or dip and store these babies in the fridge. Unless you live in an igloo. But- I don’t think igloos have internet, do they? I have never seen an igloo in real life. Do they still exist? Hmmm… I need to google that.

2 Cheers For Monday!

Hi!

Last Saturday I did two camp "home pom" (all-dance) routines,.... one for Milton High and Central Baldwin,.... so needless to say I felt like I had ran a marathon at 5!!

I will post videos of the routines tomorrow...

Sunday we went to see To Kill a Mockingbird in Monroeville....

And then this morning I had to be at work at 6AM to work graduation :o( 

So to make this a happy Monday I thought I would share a comic that reminds me that the grass is not always greener on the other side...
