My mom calls it crack. Cuz its adddictive. And yes technically anything can be referred to as crack. But the question is whether the 'nickname' given correlates to what is being Termed.

Ho-Kay! Recipes made Epic-er by mahself!:

Chocolate Macaroon Bars (Courtesy Nestle):


1 box (18.25-oz) chocolate cake mix
1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 eggs; divided
1 can (14-oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
12 oz chocolate chips
1-1/3 cup flaked coconut, divided
3/4 cup chopped nuts


Mix cake mix, butter and 1 egg until crumbly. Press onto bottom of greased 13×9 pan. Combine condensed milk, remaining egg & vanilla; stir in chips,1 cup coconut & nuts. Spread over mixture in baking pan. Sprinkle with remaining coconut. Bake at 350F for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown (center will set when cooled). Cool completely & cut into bars.


My changes:

I don't do nuts, chuck em. Use 1 c butterscotch chips and 1 c choc chips. At Least double the coconut, I usually use most of a 14 oz bag. When its fully assembled, drizzle ice cream caramel over the top. Bake as instructed, open the door for 5 secs when timer goes off, shut the door, turn off oven and let cool. Cut and enjoy!

Triple chocloate brownies (Courtesy TOH):

Ingredients


  • 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
  • 3/4 cup butter, cubed
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup baking cocoa
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips, divided
  • 2 teaspoons shortening
Directions


  • In a microwave melt chocolate and butter; stir until smooth. Cool slightly. In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar. Stir in chocolate mixture. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; gradually add to chocolate mixture and mix well. Stir in 1-1/2 cups chocolate chips.
  • Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until easy to handle.
  • Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 7-9 minutes or until edges are set and tops are slightly cracked. Cool for 2 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
  • In a microwave, melt remaining chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Drizzle over cookies. Let stand for 30 minutes or until chocolate is set. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 6 dozen.

My changes:

Scrap the cookie idea, its a mess. We either bake as brownies in a 13x9 pan at 350 for 30ish mins. (they are really rich!) Lately I've been baking them in a mini muffin pan with a mini rolo it each one for the perscribed time, +/- a couple mins. Yum! Oh, and use mini choc chips. They just work better. I also use a double boiler, not the nuker.
