Today I visited Evil Tara and had some much needed girlie time in the Evil Think Tank-o-glory dipping chocolate for the holidays. I talked about the secrets for good chocolate dipping this week Here. Tara had a heap of these dipped cookies to do. I am a friend. I'll dip chocolate out of the goodness of my heart. Bwhahaha! Well...I may have had other motivations. Case in point. These...
I adore Tara's thin mint cookies. Even more, I love how simple they are to make! It's just six drops of LorAnn Peppermint Oil to a half pound of melted dark chocolate...
Oh...and a few sleeves of Ritz crackers.
I kid you not when I say they are pure genius! The light salt and the crisp and the chocolate...I get so excited I almost pop!
We also dipped a hundred of these...
I know that Oreo makes chocolate covered Oreos now in nice packages, but there's nothing like putting really nice chocolate on a chocolate cookie and drizzling it with more chocolate. You know...for artistic purposes. Purely artistic purposes.
Our friend Kayola was there and said I needed to do "like a red tree" on them. So...this one's for Kayola! Thanks for the how did you say? "The Bass Ackward" way of doing the trees! Hillllllllarious my friend! Grin.
Raspberry Clusters. Prepare to be dazzled! Insert Chef Tess and her lame cool-self making cheesy Jazz hands! Last but not least on the list of Evil amazing...the chocolate dipped Freeze Dried Raspberry. Just a few in a little good quality chocolate.
They come out in these little clusters that look like peanut clusters. However, this is big, they taste like a piece of heaven. The fruit is tart and the chocolate sweet. It's perfection. I loved that the fruit just stayed crispy like a raspberry rice-crisp{ almost}. Picture me just rolling my eyes back in my head and passing out when I say, "A-freakin-mazing". If you want my humble (yet accurate) opinion...everyone should make them.
There you go.
Another trip to the Evil Think Tank...totally worth it. Yes. I am going jogging in the morning! Xoxo!
We're having a great Giveaway this week too. So pop over and see what you could win!
Always My Very Best,
Your Friend Chef Tess
