Chocolate Brownie Trifle - Cameron Stromness


Image

Ingredients:
1 box of instant chocolate pudding (1.3 oz, around that size)
1 box of brownie mix
1 tub of whipped topping

Let the whipped topping thaw on the counter so it is easily spreadable.
Bake brownies according to the box in a 9x13 pan.
While brownies are cooling, mix the pudding in a bowl per box directions and spread over the brownies.
Spread whipped topping over pudding.

Chill for at least 1 hour.

A cuter presentation of the trifle would be to let the brownies cool completely, cut a circle size of one half of the brownies (the same size of the trifle bowl) and put in a trifle bowl. Spread half of the pudding on top of brownies. Spread half of whipped topping on top of pudding. Cut another circular shape out of the other half of the brownies and put it in the bowl. Spread the rest of the pudding over it and finish it off with the rest of the whipped topping. Chill for at least 1 hour. This way you get a cool layered look.

Red Hot Cinnamon Candy - April Elzinga


Image


2 2/3 cup sugar
1 cup white karo syrup
1 cup water

Boil above ingredients over medium heat until it reaches the "hard crack" stage (300 degrees) Remove from heat.

While mixture is boiling prepare the following:

Mix together and set aside

1 teaspoon cinnamon oil
1 teaspoon red food coloring

Add cinnamon oil mixture to the candy mixture...stirring well. Don't inhale

Pour over large cookie sheet sprinkled with powdered sugar. (don't use teflon cookie sheets, it will take the teflon off and will be on the candy)

When cooled, break into desired sizes...you can use the end of a knife if you like.

You can get peppermint oil or cherry oil in place of the cinnamon if preferred. I also do a variation...I melt white bark (for candy making) in the microwave and add pieces of the cinnamon to that.

(real cinnamon oil...you can ask a pharmacist if they carry it or you can get it at Gygi's in Salt Lake, 3500 S. 300 W.)

Hot Chocolate Mix

16 oz container of Creamora, Coffeemate or any coffee creamer
1 box (about 25 oz) of instant powdered milk
16 oz Nestle Nesquick (the type you put in a glass of milk, not the cocoa mix)

Mix together in a large bowl and store in an airtight container. When ready to drink, fill your cup half full of the cocoa mix and add boiling water. (It won't look too chocolaty, but it is wonderful). Enjoy.
