A Tasty Treat









One of my favorite past

times is to bake. Not only is it very therapeutic for me, but I also enjoy eating food. What girl doesn’t? Although one of my favorite foods is french-fries, I also have a huge sweet tooth. When I have a sweet craving, one of my favorite things is to bake Chinese New Year Cookies. It is fairly simple and absolutely delicious!

The Recipe:

1 (12 oz.) bag of chocolate chips

1 (12 oz.) bag of butterscotch chips

2 c. Chinese noodles

1 c. dry roasted peanuts

Melt chocolate chips and butterscotch chips in a double boiler. After chips have melted, remove from heat and add Chinese noodles and nuts to melted chips. Mix and drop by teaspoons on wax paper. Let cookies set and harden. Store in an airtight container. Makes 4 to 5 dozen cookies.

Another one of my favorite treats that I have not attempted to make yet are cake balls. However, this weekend I am really going to try and make it. Hopefully it works out! Crème de la Cookie in Snider Plaza introduced me to these “cake balls.” I recommend everyone to go to Snider Plaza and try them. They are all different flavors and definitely worth the calories. Cake balls are small pieces of cake rolled into a ball with a chocolate hard sh

ell covering it.

How I plan to make them:

  1. Bake a cake
  2. Break it up into pieces
  3. Roll pieces of cake into a ball holdingit together by mixing cake icing in it
  4. Put the tray in the fridge for an hour
  5. Melt chocolate chips and once the cake is cooled pour the melted chocolate on top
  6. Freeze overnight

Although I do not know if this is the actual recipe, I am just giving an educated guess. Who knows, maybe I will even make something that tasted better than a cake ball!
