I'm Back...

I'm back with new dedication to the food that has been keeping me so busy I've had NO time to write...
I've been busy with the Day Job(DJ) for so long that I have forgotten what this little experiment was supposed to be about, hey!! It takes a lot to bake,photograph,and then write about it, BUT at last I've been inspired. I do suppose it may be that winter is over,or Spring has peeked its head up throughout my gardens, who cares how inspiration comes, as long as it doesnt stop coming right??
Here is a small sample of what I've started with. I made the Chocolate,chocolate chip with Fudge frosting cupcakes for my son Adam, Who is now 15 going on 20...


Also, Yesterday, I decided I was going to chocolate cover some stuff, The Pretzels are Snyder's Sourdough Specials and they are by far the BEST tasting pretzel in the world!!! Then when you add chocolate , Heavenly mmmmmmmmmmm, I also decided to add some crushed walnuts, I really just wish you had taste-o-vision


I have a recipe that makes the best homemade peanut butter balls, and if you use the brands and measurements I recommend you will not fail...



These are soooooo easy here goes...
1 1/2 C. Jif Peanut Butter
1C Graham Cracker crumbs, you can buy the crumbs or grind them yourself, its up to you
1/2 C powdered sugar
1 to 1 1/2 C. Rice Crispies

Combine all ingredients and gently mix together, you dont want to smash the Rice Crispies.
Refridgerate for at least 1 hour or so.
Roll mixture into about 1/2 inch balls or so. Refridgerate the little guys.
Melt some chocolate, I use Candymakers or Merkens, candy coating wafers, chips dont really melt smoothly, and I havent practiced tempering so I'm not good at it yet...so the wafers do the job just as nice...
Roll the little balls in the chocolate to coat nicely, use a fork to lift it out and set into paper candy cups or even right onto a wax paper covered tray...
There you have it, these will not last long I guarantee it

Till Next Time,
