Yummy

This isn’t something I usually blog about but I just had to. In the Kaisercraft Magazine Q1 (pg 83), I read a recipe for some chocolate cookies and they seemed so nice I made some;

So here’s the recipe; Carols Cookies
125g butter
200g dark chocolate
3 eggs lightly beaten
1cup brown sugar
1 ½ cups plain flour
½ cup cocoa
250g white choc bits

Preheat the oven to 200C and line trays with baking paper
Place butter and dark chocolate in a small pan and stir over low heat until chocolate is melted and is smooth (I melted it in the microwave and it worked just fine)
Place this into a bowl and add the beaten eggs and sugar, stir to combine. Sift in the dry ingredients and white choc bits, stir until well combined.
Drop spoonfuls of mix onto trays (I was able to gently form a ball with mine)
Bake for 10mins, stand cookies on tray for 2-3mins and then move to a wire rack.
Yummy
*this makes about 50 cookies and beware of the killer amount of chocolate used!


While also going through the other Kaisercraft Magazine Q2 I found another recipe I wanted to try (page 91)

Mint Slice (very easy and very yummy)
250g Malt-O-Milk biscuits
6 Peppermint Crisp chocolate bars
½ 395g tin sweetened condensed milk
125g butter
250g Cadbury chocolate

Crush biscuits up in a food processer (or a zip-lock bag and a hammer), also crush the peppermint crisps bars. Keep a few bigger chunks of the chocolate in the mixture to ensure that when cut up most slices have a few green chunks
Place both biscuit and chocolate into a bowl
Combine condensed milk and butter in a saucepan on low (once again I used the microwave it’s just so much quicker). When melted mix into the biscuit and chocolate mixture
Spread into a slice pan and flatten out the mixture with a spoon. Once set melt the chocolate and pour over the slice. Return to the fridge to set.
* I used mint chocolate for the top if mine which has the mint crisps in it really makes it extra minty
