Meet Yeti!  He’s definitely the coolest guy in Candy Town but a little slow to respond sometimes.  Legend has it, it’s because he’s busy eating delicious chocolate in his home in the Chocolate Mountains. He can’t stop eating it because they are just so yummy!   Ever since Tiffi found him in the Chocolate Mountains, it’s been really hard trying to get him to stop eating chocolate.  Perhaps you can help him since it doesn’t look like he’s going to stop eating it.  

Do you have any favorite chocolate recipes?  If so, please feel free to post them here along with a picture.  It can be anything from chocolate candy to a chocolate layer cake.  Let your imagination run wild!  Three players will be randomly chosen to win gold bars.

Hi @Elsa It is time for chocolate indeed! I have simplet yet delicious recipe I enjoy very much. For me it is important to be healthy and without additives. Here is the recipe :

• 1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp cocoa or cacao powder
• just over 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 1/2 cups loosely packed pitted dates
• 1 cup raw almonds or walnuts
• 1/2 cup raw nuts of choice
• 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 2 tsp water
• 1/4 cup chocolate chips, optional
• 1/4 cup nut butter of choice (or pb2) OR allergy-friendly alternative
• 2 tsp pure maple syrup or honey OR stevia to taste
• 2 tbsp milk of choice (plus extra if using stevia)

 
I hope you will enjoy them as much as I do 🤗

Thanks @firebombmarkus, are their directions to go with this?  Is it baked?  Unbaked?  They look out of this world!

firebombmarkus

@Elsa they are unbaked. Here are some additional directions :

If you have a small or medium food processor, it may be a good idea to process in two batches so as not to overwork your machine. Using a blender might yield an overly sticky result, so try that at your own risk. Recipe: In a high-quality food processor, combine all but the final three ingredients (but including the chocolate chips, if using) until sticky crumbles form. If it’s still too crumbly to stick together, process longer. Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, then transfer the crumbles to the pan and these a second sheet of parchment to press down evenly into the pan. In a small dish, stir together the final three ingredients to make frosting – it will look liquidy at first, but just keep stirring. Spread the frosting over top, then set in the fridge until ready to cut and serve. You can also drizzle melted chocolate on top if desired. I let mine sit in the fridge for a few hours, then I was easily able to slice and place the brownies in a sealed container to bring to a party. Store leftovers unrefrigerated for a few days, or refrigerated a few weeks, or frozen for up to 2 months.

Yeti and I might be fighting over these!  Thanks @firebombmarkus.  I have to find some free time to respond to the other Superstar contests.

firebombmarkus

No need to fight @Elsa We will share it. One for you, two for me 😉

Thanks @Elsa. I'm a bit of a chocoholic and I love chocolate fudge:
2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
1 cup milk
4 tablespoons of butter
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
You can add nuts if desired (pecans or walnuts)

1. Grease an 8x8 inch square baking pan. Set aside.
2. Combine sugar, cocoa and milk in a medium saucepan. Stir to blend, then bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer. Do not stir again.
3. Place candy thermometer in pan and cook until temperature reaches 238 degrees F(114 degrees C). If you are not using a thermometer, then cook until a drop of this mixture in a cup of cold water forms a soft ball. Feel the ball with your fingers to make sure it is the right consistency. It should flatten when pressed between your fingers.
4. Remove from heat. Add butter or margarine and vanilla extract. Beat with a wooden spoon until the fudge loses its sheen. Do not under beat.
5. Pour into prepared pan and let cool. Cut into about 60 squares.

Chocolate Lava Cake Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter
• 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, preferably Valrhona
• 2 eggs
• 2 egg yolks
• 1/4 cup sugar
• Pinch of salt
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

How to Make It

Step 1    

Preheat the oven to 450°. Butter and lightly flour four 6-ounce ramekins. Tap out the excess flour. Set the ramekins on a baking sheet.

Step 2    

In a double boiler, over simmering water, melt the butter with the chocolate. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with the egg yolks, sugar and salt at high speed until thickened and pale.

Step 3    

Whisk the chocolate until smooth. Quickly fold it into the egg mixture along with the flour. Spoon the batter into the prepared ramekins and bake for 12 minutes, or until the sides of the cakes are firm but the centers are soft. Let the cakes cool in the ramekins for 1 minute, then cover each with an inverted dessert plate. Carefully turn each one over, let stand for 10 seconds and then unmold. Serve immediately.

@RegalRenz I always see them creating those cakes on the food channel and the judges always have to make sure that it runs out of there.  I never tried that though.

@bearwithme, yummy brownies!  Thanks!

Thanks @BeckyBubblegum.  The down side to this is that I am going to be eating more and gaining more weight!

LizzyLemondrop

Thank you for tagging me @Elsa. What a fun contest! I learned this recipe way back in Home Ec class. Luckily I found it online easily and made a few corrections to the fit way I learned it. Its very simple and doesn't require an oven, so your kids can help! Some people even suggested creating delicious snowmen by layering the balls on top of each other!
