I tried a few recipes recently that were pretty good. One was a chocolate chip cheesecake dip which sounds FANTASTIC in theory but was only pretty good. I'll still share though because I tested it out on our friends the Dobbs and they seemed to really like it/couldn't stop eating it :) Here's a pic first off...
You dip graham crackers or teddy grahams in it. I think it could work as a fruit dip too. Here is a link to the recipe if you want to try it. chocolate chip dip It made a really large bowl, so far 6 people have snacked from it for a long time and we still have a fair amount left. Would be great to bring to a party! I did add more powdered sugar and brown sugar than it called for but I like more of a sweet flavor than a cream cheese flavor. I'd say I added at least an extra tablespoon of brown sugar and at least a 1/4 cup powdered sugar.
The second recipe I tried today was a huge hit with my husband. They are called carmelitas. Justin had a piece for dessert then while we were waiting for Micah to finish his snack a few hours later he looked at me and said, "I want another piece of that stuff." Anyway, I made it because he's a big carmel fan. So here's the pic that was on the blog...
It was super easy to make and was a good one to make with Micah. He helped me unwrap the caramels and sprinkle the 6oz of chocolate chips. I added nothing to this recipe. It only makes an 8x8 pan but they are pretty rich. I think it will take Justin and I longer than our traditional two days to finish this pan. Here is the link to the blog: carmelitas
Let me know if you try any of these recipes and what you thought of them in the comments below. I'll try to keep trying and letting my 3 followers know how it goes.
Hey Nicole--it's Cara. I really want to try those carmelitas--I think I've had something similar but loved it. I found via Sarah and am reading. It's nice to hear too that we all have those frustrating Mommy days every now and then too ;)
