Chocolate Cookies

• So I found a recipe for Chocolate Caramel Cookies on

Two Peas and Their Pod.

They looked so yummy I had to try them for myself! :)

I even made a mini ice cream sandwich, filled with Dulce De Leche ice cream.

I used Maldon Sea Salt, and regular unsweetened cocoa.

For the caramel I used Kraft Caramel bits..

Big mistake. They didn't melt all the way,

so I ended up with a hard caramel inside.

I loved the flavor of the cookie.

Kind of like a brownie. But better.. did I just say that?..

Okay so the kid in me wanted more chocolate.

Adapted from Two Peas and Their Pod:

1 - 1/4 cup All Purpose Flour

1/4 Teaspoon Salt

1/4 Teaspoon Baking Soda

5 Tablespoons Butter

7 Tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa

1/3 Cup Brown Sugar

2/3 Cup Sugar

1/3 Cup Plain Yogurt

1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

3/4 Cup mixture of Milk Chocolate, Semi Sweet, and White Chocolate Chips

Pre-heat oven to 350ºF

Line baking sheet with parchment paper.

Sift together flour, baking soda, and the salt. I like to double sift.

Melt butter in sauce pan on med-low heat.

Once melted removed from heat and stir in cocoa powder and sugar.

Add the yogurt and vanilla followed by the flour mixture.

Roll in to balls and bake for about 10-15 minutes.

These cookies are delicious.. make sure to have a glass of milk on stand-by!

Chewy and yummy. Definitely reminds me of a brownie.

S'more Marshmallows

-Cut in half to show inside-

Who doesn't love S'mores? Chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers.. you can't go wrong.

I first made S'more Marshmallows for my wedding favors back in August 2008.

A tight budget didn't mean we had to do without, but we had to do some stuff ourselves.

Besides when you do it yourself it's more fun :)

Ready to make S'more Marshmallows?? :)

Ingredients:

1 - 14oz Bag Chocolate Candy Melts -Dark or Milk-

1 Bag Marshmallows

1 Package of Graham Crackers

Supplies:

Glass bowl + Small Sauce Pan

Toothpicks

Parchment Paper

Cookie Sheet

Clean Scissors

Line Cookie sheet with Parchment paper, set aside.

Cut the marshmallows in half.

Crush Graham crackers. NOT all the way - you want some texture.

Boil water in small sauce pan, once you see small bubbles turn off the heat.

Place glass bowl on top and add the candy melts.

Slowly stir, and continue until chocolate is melted.

Once you have your graham crackers crushed, marshmallows cut, and chocolate is melted

you can begin to make S'more Marshmallows!

Tooth pick? Check! Marshmallow? Check!

Dip into the chocolate.

Let the excess chocolate drip off the marshmallow.

Place into the graham cracker crumbs.

Cover the marshmallow with the crumbs.

Place onto cookie sheet, and refrigerate for about 10 minutes.

Enjoy :)
