Chocolate Filled Delights Food

EASY CHOCOLATE DELIGHT RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Combine flour, chopped pecans, and softened margarine or butter until the mixture looks like wet sand. Press the crust mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish and bake for 20 minutes. Allow the crust to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, beat together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and whipped topping with an electric mixer at medium speed until smooth and fluffy. Spread the filling evenly onto the cooled crust. Set aside.
• Whisk together chocolate pudding and milk as directed in the package. Spread the pudding mixture evenly on top of the cream cheese filling. Top with whipped topping and chopped pecans. Let the pie set in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Serve, slice, and enjoy!

CHOCOLATE-FILLED DELIGHTS

Steps:

• 1. Spatter each egg: If you wish, cover your worktable with newspaper. Slide the eggs onto skewer on a Styrofoam drying rack (see tip, below). Dip the paintbrush in the food coloring, hold it in one hand above the egg and run your thumb along the bristles or tap the handle to create a spray of paint. Revolve each egg to splatter the entire surface. Allow the eggs to dry for several hours.
• 2. Seal the hole in the wider end of each blown egg with a small piece of masking tape. Using the pliers, gently chip away the shell around the other hole, enlarging it to the size of a pea. Place the eggs in an egg carton, open-end up.
• 3. One at a time, fill the eggs with chocolate: Place 1 cup of the baking chips in a food storage bag and twist the bag like a pastry bag to secure the chips in one bottom corner. Microwave on medium for 1 minute, until soft. Snip the corner from the bag and pipe the chocolate into the egg, tapping the egg periodically to compress any air bubbles and filling it completely, to the top of the hole.
• 4. Refrigerate the eggs overnight so the chocolate is firm. Remove the masking tape. Store in the refrigerator if not eating soon.
• 5. Tap the eggs on the table to crack the shells, and peel. Yum.

CAROLINA DELIGHTS

Steps:

• Combine sugar, cocoa, margarine and milk in saucepan over medium heat (I always go a notch over medium-but do not do med/high or it will burn).
• Once it comes to a rapid boil, boil for 3 minutes EXACTLY.
• Remove from heat and add peanut butter and oatmeal (SEE Tip#2).
• Spoon drop on wax paper and let cool.
• Store in airtight container.
• Tip#1: have all ingredients measured out before you start.
• Tip#2: sometimes weather can effect the outcome. It may require less or more oatmeal -- add oatmeal a little at a time till you get the right consistency-not to runny and not too thick.
