Chocolate Dipped Licorice - I haven't actually made these yet, but I am going to try them this Christmas. A local candy store makes these, and they are yumma!!! It is just red licorice (Twizzlers, etc) that has been dipped in melted white or milk chocolate until about 3/4 of the licorice is coated in chocolate. You could then also roll the chocolate covered licorice sticks in sprinkles, crushed nuts, or crushed candy canes, etc., or leave them plain with just the chocolate!

I didn't make this but my friend did. She took a bag of chocolate chips and a bag of butterscotch chips and melted them together and then added spanish peanuts. You then just put spoonfuls of the mixture on wax paper on a cookie sheet and place them in the fridge til they harden. Not only are they super easy they taste wonderful!

Try some mini marshmallows in the mixture sometime!!!

I love all these ideas. I hd good luck with a bunch of them last year.
I haven't seen anyone mention the cake mix cookies that everyone loved last year. I made a variation of them tonight that are SO good.

1 box Pillsbury Pumpkin bread mix (you can use banana bread mix instead)
1/2 cup raisins (I used Craisins)
1/4 cup chopped crystalized ginger
1 egg
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, melted

Mix it all together in the order listed, roll into 1 1/2" balls, mix 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon in a small bowl and roll each cookie in the cinnamon/sugar. Bake in a 350 oven for 12-15 minutes. They are really rich and yummy. It's supposed to make 20 cookies but I got a few more.

I like to make chocolate raspberry bread pudding around the holidays, it's made and served in a crock pot and very easy to assemble.

1 angel food cake (approx 6 cups), cubed
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 pint fresh raspberries, rinsed and drained
1/2 c milk
4 eggs
1/2 c cream
1/4 c sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Place half of cake cubes in a heavily buttered crock pot. Sprinkle half of chocolate chips and raspberries over cake cubes. Cover with remaining cake cubes, top with remaining choc chips and raspberries. In a bowl (or blender), whisk together cream, milk, eggs, sugar and vanilla until blended. Pour evenly over the cake mixture in the crockpot. Cover and cook on high heat setting for approx 2 hours, until set.

This sounds wonderful. Is it hard to find fresh raspberries in the winter?

Have you tried it with any other type of berry?

I guess frozen ones would make it soggy?

I think I may have to give this one a try!!! IT sounds awesome...

swilshire-I've only made it with fresh raspberries, frozen would make it too soggy, I think, but any fresh berries would be good, though. I can find fresh raspberries at a local high-end grocery store, they're just a little more spendy than in the summer. *

Anyone try to substitute chocolate frosting for vanilla in the easiest fudge recipe? Seems like it would be good too! I try to add chocolate to all my food for nutritional value!!!
