Day 6: Double Dark Caramel Fudge Cookies

December 11, 2015 by kim 6 Comments

IMG_9906

Oh my goodness, have you ever had Snappers® snacks? They’re the best snacks to take with you on the go, to have as dessert after a meal, or to bake into a cookie! I’ll be adding a bag of these to my hospital and diaper bags. A little chocolate pick me up never hurt.

IMG_9899

They’re crunchy, sweet, and a little salty. They’re also in little pieces that you can eat with your hands– no utensils or plates needed. Bite-sized food is the way to my heart.

You can find these at Target; Where else do I get everything in my pantry? Here’s a little before and after of this box being used in the kitchen:IMG_9824

If you ask me, they’re just as beautiful either way. First, dump the whole bag of Snappers onto a cutting board.IMG_9748

Get a large knife and chop those babies up. You’ll end up with a glorious pile of pieces– large and small. I liked having a mix of both, but you can chop them finer if you’d like. The finer crumbs seems to stick to the dough easier, but I like the appearance of the larger pieces in a baked cookie.IMG_9764

Drop your rounded balls of dough into the pile and roll away!IMG_9786

Get those dough balls coated. I even re-rolled some of the ones that I thought were lacking. Next, throw them into the oven and let the heat do the work. They’ll come out looking like this:

Make sure you use a Silpat or some other silicone baking mat between your cookies and baking sheet. These cookies can get a little sticky! As for the taste, the cookies were almost brownie-like, similar to the brownies at the edge of the pan. I loved how crispy, yet chewy they were. The pretzels were like sprinkling a little sea salt to the top of a sweet cookie.

I can’t decide what I like better… eating the Snappers as they are or eating a cookie rolled around in the crumbs. It’s a tough decision! You’ll have to make these cookies and let me know which one you prefer. IMG_9882
You can check out Snappers on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. Don’t forget to use the hashtags #SnappersSnacks and #HolidaySnappers so we can all follow along and see what you’re making (or snacking on) in the kitchen!

Snappers® snacks combine tradition and legacy for caramel, specialty peanut butter, proprietary pretzels and signature chocolate blends to create delicious, classic treats designed to be shared with family and friends. As part of the Edward Marc Brands, Snappers snacks are crafted in small batches using only the finest ingredients and they evoke nostalgic memories of home baking.

Did I mention that they come in a variety of flavors? The seasonal flavors include peppermint, dark chocolate caramel fudge, and cinnamon caramel.

IMG_9888You can find Snappers at retailers nationwide including select Target, Costco, and Kroger locations as well as local retailers such as Albertson’s, Giant Supermarkets, HEB, Meijer, Publix, Safeway, Sheetz, and Walgreen’s.

OREO Cookie Ball Gingerbread Houses

IMG_9187

Are you guys getting ready for the holidays already? I know I am. My Christmas tree is up and I’m ready to go. I’ve made my baking lists for the holidays, and these OREO Cookie Ball Gingerbread Houses are at the top of the list! They make cookie balls much more festive.

IMG_9180

You can find these Gingerbread Flavored OREO Cookies at your local Target (where else do I get anything?). They’re available now, so snatch them up and start rolling!
IMG_9169

I admit, I’m not the best decorator. I don’t have the best hand and I’m certainly not that patient when it comes to decorating. If I can do this, anyone can!IMG_9172

I think they turned out pretty cute, don’t you?

IMG_9192

They’re delicious on the inside. Gingerbread Flavored OREO Cookies taste exactly like gingerbread.. full of holiday flavor. You can eat these in one bite and they’re easy to make on your own. After all, you only need two ingredients for the inside: OREO Cookies and cream cheese!
IMG_9212

If you just want to eat OREOs straight out of the bag, I don’t blame you. You can twist ‘em, dunk ’em, use ‘em in recipes or just eat them. Every variety of the OREO family is sure to please and delight, so try them all!

Start a new tradition this holiday season and decorate these tiny gingerbread houses with your family. You're sure to have a ball (pun intended)!

Ingredients

  • 3 oz. brick cream cheese, softened

  • 1 pkg. (10.7 oz.) Gingerbread Flavored Crème OREO Cookies, finely crushed
  • 
2 pkg. (4 oz. each) semi-sweet baking chocolate, melted

  • 5 small gumdrops or spice drops, each cut crosswise into 4 pieces

  • 20 confetti sprinkles

  • 2 Tbsp. assorted holiday sprinkles (mini candy canes, gingerbread men and/or Christmas trees)

  • 2 Tbsp. white decorating icing

  • 1 Tbsp. white sparkling sugar or edible glitter

Directions

  1. Mix cream cheese and cookie crumbs until blended. Roll into 20 (1-inch) balls. Press each into gingerbread-house shape by squaring off bottom of ball and pinching top to resemble the peaked roof.
  2. Place in single layer on bottom of shallow waxed paper-lined pan. Freeze 10 min.
  3. Dip cookie balls, 1 at a time, in chocolate, turning to evenly coat each cookie ball with chocolate. Return to pan. Immediately decorate with candies and sprinkles as shown in photo, using any remaining chocolate to attach decorations as needed. Decorate roofs with icing and sugar for the snow.
  4. Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm. Keep refrigerated.

Notes

Tips How to Easily Coat the Cookie Balls
Keep the cookie ball houses refrigerated until ready to dip in the melted chocolate. Then, add balls, in batches, to bowl of melted chocolate. Use 2 forks to dip houses in chocolate until evenly coated. Remove with forks, letting excess chocolate drip back into bowl. Place houses in prepared pan; decorate and let stand until firm. If chocolate becomes too thick, add up to 1 tsp. shortening to each 8 oz. of chocolate. If desired, 3 pkg. (4 oz. each) semi-sweet baking chocolate can be melted to use for dipping; the leftover melted chocolate can be allowed to harden at room temperature and then stored in airtight container until needed for another recipe.

Day 5: Crispy Bits Chocolate Chip Cookies

December 8, 2015 by kim Leave a Comment

IMG_9491

Have you ever tried baking a cookie and then re-baking it into another cookie? Well, that’s exactly what I did for day 5 of my 12 days of cookies! The results were amazing! Sure, it may take a little more time, but you’re still only making one dough.
IMG_9495

My DH actually preferred eating the first batch of baked dough since I made them crispier. I didn’t even try to make the first batch pretty since they were going back into the dough. I literally look a chunk of dough, broke it apart onto a lined baking sheet, and then baked them as is in small pieces. IMG_9501

The cookies come out a bit darker than normal with a dreamy swirl.IMG_9502

Yes, yes, yes.
IMG_9508

Oh, and aren’t these platters a beaut? You might remember them from an old post, only a little different. It’s from Mad Hatter’s Platters! I changed the top to a different plate for Christmas. I love how easy they are to customize and adapt for the different seasons. You can change sizes, colors and shapes as long as you have the rod that holds them together.

A couple of my favorites from their site include: the blue & white southwestern two tiered, cream & teal three tiered, gold polka dot two tiered, and the teal w/ruffled bow two tiered. If you’re still doing some last minute shopping for the holidays, I’d highly recommend Mad Hatter’s Platters for the entertainer/baker!
