Bakers Chocolate Candy Recipes

BAKER'S CHOCOLATE CANDY

Steps:

• Microwave chocolate in small microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1 min. 30 sec. or until chocolate is almost melted, stirring every 30 sec. (The chocolate will retain their shapes until stirred.) Stir until chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
• Spoon chocolate into candy mold, filling each cup to top. Tap mold lightly on counter to remove air bubbles. Refrigerate 1 hour or until chocolate is set.
• Unmold candies; place in airtight container between sheets of waxed paper. Store in refrigerator up to 1 month.

CANDY BAR CHOCOLATE BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Grease a 9 by 13-inch cake pan (aluminum is fine) with butter. Beat the 1 1/2 sticks butter and the sugar together in a large bowl until blended. Beat in the eggs 1 at a time, then stir in water and vanilla. Sprinkle the salt and baking powder over the mixture, then mix in. Do the same with the cocoa. Finally, stir in the flour until just blended.
• Put the candy bars in a food processor or blender and pulse on low speed until all the bars have been reduced to a coarse crumble. Fold the crumble into the batter thoroughly. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for about 30 minutes, until the center is set, the edges look a bit crusty, and the top of the brownies start to crack a little. Cool completely before cutting into squares.

THE BEST DIPPING/COATING CHOCOLATE EVER!

Steps:

• Chop the paraffin into small pieces.
• Melt the paraffin in the microwave, or on top of a double-boiler. (This takes quite a while, so be patient.).
• When the paraffin is melted, add the chocolate.
• Stir all together.
• If using the microwave, continue heating for 1-minute intervals, using 50% power, until everything is well-blended. Be sure to stir your mixture between 1-minute heatings. If using a double-boiler, stir the chocolate/paraffin mixture constantly until fully mixed.
• Dip marshmallows, nuts, dried fruit, cookies, pretzels, or whatever you like.
• Fresh fruits should be at the peak of ripeness. After rinsing your fresh fruit, you need to be sure it's patted completely dry. (Chocolate will not cling to wet fruit.).
• After dipping, place on a waxed-paper lined cookie-sheet and allow to harden. 15 minutes to 1 hour, depending on ambient temperature.
