Homemade Nutella Chips

Apple Cake

This delectable Apple Cake has a slightly crunchy crust and a soft moist center that is loaded with chunks of sweet apple and pecans. It is perfectly spiced with cinnamon, ground cloves and nutmeg. It is lightly drizzled with an easy four ingredient caramel sauce. I make this cake several times each fall for bake sales, potlucks and family and friend get-togethers.

Easy Ratatouille

This easy ratatouille recipe is a classic summer French stew filled with vibrant, colourful and nutritious vegetables: tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant. It is a low-carb, gluten-free and vegan dish that can be made in one pan and served atop greens or grains, as a side to a main entrée, or all on its own.

Cherrispryte – chocolate melts at below body temperature, so you don’t need the water to be boiling, just steaming some. Also, once you have melted all the ingredients together, let it cool for a few minutes before you put it in the bag. You need it to still be fluid, but not runny – and definitely not so hot it melts your bag! I haven’t tried these yet, but they should definitely be on the list!

I’m not very experienced with using a double broiler, but I had SUCH a hard time with these. I melted the nutella, added, the butter and chips, then something went awry. At first, I thought everything had seized up, but the mixture wasn’t grainy, it was just dull and SOLID. And when it came to piping, the stuff was so hot, it melted the plastic bag, and then somehow oozed through my pastry bag, despite the fact that that is made of plastic-coated cloth. I wound up rolling it into long worms then dicing those …. Anyway, fantastic idea, just apparently more complicated (for me, at least) than it seems!
