TWD~ Chocolate Malted Whopper Sandwich Cookies!


Well as you can see from the picture we decided to make an ice cream sandwich out of it! We had some vanilla ice cream in the freezer and thought that since they were sooooooo chocolaty that a little ice cream in between would really help out;0 ) Then it looked a little bare so what could we do but add some chucks of a dark chocolate bar we had laying in the pantry! It was scrumptious! We were not really excited about trying these cookies because we(us girls) do not like Malt or Whoppers. So we thought we would make them and just feed them to our brothers, they really liked them! We braved it and took a bite and were very surprised on how much we liked them. Oh and I almost forgot to mention we put in white chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate, it was a very nice variation since there was already soooo much chocolate flavor. I would not say these are my favorite cookie but one we will most likely make again!

Leftover Wonton Wrappers?


Lets make Chinese Croutons! Well, I'm not sure if that the REAL name for these yummy things, but it sounds unique!

The other night when I made shishkabobs for dinner, I also made a salad................to make it a little more interesting, and to use up a few leftover wonton wrappers that were in the fridge. I cut them into strips and fried then in a sauce pan with a little oil. After taking them out I laid them on paper napkins to soak up the excess oil, and sprinkled them with a little salt. MMM! they were very tasty! Everyone in our family liked them................
