1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons coconut extract
2 cups Irish Whiskey
1 (14-oz) can sweetened condensed milk
3 tablespoons chocolate syrup
In a blender, combine eggs, vanilla and coconut extracts, and whiskey. Blend for 1 minute. Add condensed milk and chocolate syrup; blend 3 minutes more. Cover and refrigerate until thick, about 3-4 weeks. Makes about 1 quart.
1 STICK of butter or margarine (NOT the soft spreadable or full of water kind) 1 lb powdered sugar
1-16 oz package of semi sweet "REAL" chocolate pieces
1/2 cake of parafin..canning wax
2-4 tlbs milk (as needed to make the "dough" the consistency of cookie dough
In large bowl melt butter, then stir in peanut butter. Mix in powdered sugar. Add the milk 1 tablespoon at a time if necessary (it usually is). Roll them into bite size balls, place on wax paper. Stick a toothpick in the center. Then Freeze them for a few hours. (this makes dipping them easier) IF you are using this for a party item use colored tooth picks and leave them in to make them easier to pick up off the plate)
When PBB's are frozen, melt the wax in a small 1 qt sauce pan then stir in chocolate pieces. When smooth dip the frozen PBB's in the chocolate. Replace on the wax paper. Remove toothpick and fill the tiny hole with chocolate. Store in Fridge.
YUM, YUMs.
From all the goodies described in this thread, wifey selected 3.
The Root Beer Ham was tried and recieved very good reviews. It was well liked by all.
Nora:
The munchie celery strips with cremecheese and pepper jelly were fair. The reason for the fair rating was a poor selection of pepper jelly. This will be tried again soon with home made pepper jelly known to be very good. We like cremecheese with pepper jelly and this is a good way to make it available, much less messy than on crackers.
Neenah:
The Chocolate Cheese Ball was taken to several gatherings where it recieved rave reviews and many copies of the recipe have been distributed.
Thanks carlo for the thread. It worked. We liked it.
