Potato Chip Fudge

If you're like us, you've got a weakness for snack food like potato chips and pretzels. And when they're added to creamy rich fudge, they taste like expensive chocolate-dipped pretzels and chips like the ones we see in fancy candy stores.

1 (12-ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 cups coarsely crumbled potato chips (See Note) What To Do: In a medium saucepan, melt chocolate chips over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. Be careful not to burn. When chocolate is melted, reduce heat to low and add sweetened condensed milk and vanilla; stir until well blended. Remove from heat and immediately add crumbled potato chips. Stir gently to blend and pour into an 8-inch square baking dish that has been coated with cooking spray. Cover and cool in the refrigerator until set.

Chocolate Toffee Cracker Crunch

If you love chocolate toffee candy I promise you this will be your favorite sweet from now on. To think its made from crackers.

Chocolate Toffee Cracker Crunch

I bought assorted crackers at the store and the ingredients I would buy for toffee. Here is my recipe.

INGREDIENTS:

1 stick of butter
1/2 cup of brown sugar
Semi-sweet chocolate bar (I used a huge bar at the counter).
Chopped walnuts
Foil
Cooking spray
Assorted crackers (they come in a box)

Pre-heat the oven to 350 deg. Melt the stick of butter till it melted and throw it the brown sugar till it boils and the liquid get thick and separates from the sides of the pan.

In the meantime melt your chocolate bar in the microwave first about 40 secs. Stir it really good. If it’s not melted, put it back for about 40 more secs. Stir it again and it should be smooth.

Line your crackers on a foil line cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Have your cokie sheet ready and near the oven. Pour the liquid over the crackers really good and put it in the oven for 15 mins. Take it out. Dont worry, it will be bubbly at first…..that’s ok.

Drizzle the chocolate over the toffee covered crackers, and cover with chopped walnuts or whatever toppings you want. Cool the crackers in the fridge. The chocolate will set in on the toffee and the cracker will stay crispy.

Peppermint Bark Crispy Cookies

I have to admit that in all purposes these are not really in a legal sense "cookies" but it sounded better than crackers. I also will note that once you make them you will swear that you are eating a delicate crispy cookie covered with peppermint bark. Whenever I shop there's one item that I have to buy because they are so versatile and that is Town House Crackers (thanks Keebler). Whatever mood I am in at the time, all I need to buy extra ingredients and I can have ready-made snacks anytime. I did my all true and tried method again. I dont particularly to buy a whole bag of white chocolate chips. Instead, one of my favorite chocolate is Lindt and they have single bars which I purchased, white and dark chocolate. I bought the white chocolate. Town House crackers (1 sleeve) 1 large bar of Lindt white chocolate Peppermint candy (crushed) Waxed paper lined pan or sheet 1. Line a pan with waxed paper or parchment and line your crackers down in rows. 2. In a microwave safe bowl, break up the Lindt bar and check it after 30 secs. Stir to see if it is melted. If not, continue for another 20-30 secs. Check until the chocolate is melted. 3. With two spoons, over the bowl.....take a cracker at a time put it on a spoon and with the other spoon, spoon the chocolate over it, and let the extra chocolate drip down in the bowl. Smooth the chocolate over the top of cracker and lay it down on the pan. Continue to the next one. 4. Be sure the tops have ample chocolate on them since the bottom is the cracker part. 5. Sprinkle the peppermint candy all over the crackers so they are covered with the candy. Tap the pan so the candy are dispersed evenly. 6. Put in the refrigerator till the chocolate sets. You will have a sweet, crispy, melt-­in-your-mouth chocolately sensation waiting for you later.

PEPPERMINT BARK

This is another version of bark for those like the peppermint taste and it's fairly simple and less time consuming.  This has to be in the top ten of candies that people make for Christmas.  It's foolproof, it has 3 ingredients how hard could it be.  It looks pretty on a Christmas centerpiece.

1 lb. dark chocolate (I used 1/2 semisweet and 1/2 bittersweet)
1 lb. white chocolate
6 oz. (1 regular package) candy canes, crushed

1. Melt the dark chocolate over a double boiler until smooth. Spread (with an offset spatula) in an even layer on a wax paper-lined baking sheet. Place in freezer to harden, approximately 30 minutes.

2. Melt the white chocolate over a double boiler until smooth. Spread (with an offset spatula) on top of the dark chocolate layer. Working quickly before the white chocolate sets, sprinkle the crushed candy canes on top and gently press into the chocolate. Refrigerate until complete hard and set, at least 2 hours.

3. Break into pieces and enjoy!
