No Bake Chocolate Chip Cookie Roll (Date Roll)

The Best Date Roll

This Date Roll with Chocolate Chips is, absolutely amazing.  Forget about about Granola Bars.  Grahamola Bars are the new norm.  I’m talking about a no bake recipe that isn’t just soft and chewy, it’s tasty sweet through and through.  Not too much either.  It’s exactly what you’d expect and more.  Anybody that slaps a label on this recipe and markets it will make Millions.  And I’ll confess, in this recipe, I didn’t put a single ounce of Dates in the ingredients but you can all kinds of dried fruits if you’d like; Dates, Raisins, Cranberries.  You can even substitute the Walnuts for your favorite and the Sweetened Condensed Milk can be replaced with Honey.  Anything your little heart desires.  Don’t hold back.

Date Roll with Chocolate Chips Ingredients:

2 pkg Graham Crackers, ground
2 cup Walnuts, chopped
2 cup Coconut Flakes, sweetened
2 cup Marshmallow
2 cup Chocolate Chips, mini
1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk, 14 oz

Mix and shape into a roll.  Set up in Freezer for 30 minutes and serve.  Be sure to watch the video tutorial for this Date Roll with Chocolate Chips and I’ll show you exactly how to make it.

Chocolate Shell for Ice Cream

The Best Milk Chocolate Shell

If you’re looking for an amazing Chocolate Shell that instantly freezes to your ice cream, after you dip it, then you’ve come to the right place.  This Homemade Milk Chocolate recipe doesn’t just make an awesome candy shell it makes great chocolate that can be molded into any shape.  So you’re getting a two in one recipe here because the same recipe makes both.  Chocolate Shell for Ice Cream and Candy you can eat.

Candy Chocolate Shell

When I make this Chocolate Shell for my family, I often add crushed or ground nuts, like honey roasted peanuts.  Candy Sprinkles are a good alternative as well.  The Chocolate Candy Shell freezes in just a few seconds, after you apply it to the ice cream, so be sure to add the nuts or sprinkles immediately after you poor it on or it won’t stick.

This Chocolate Shell recipe is really just the Homemade Milk Chocolate recipe I posted before, only in it’s liquid form.  It can easily be applied to a bowl of ice cream or used as a dip for ice cream cones.  Just be sure to firmly press the ice cream in the cone before you dip it or you just might lose it in the chocolate.  And if you have any left over, it can be refrigerated and melted back down for future use.

Chocolate Shell Ingredients:

3/4 cup Coconut Oil
1 cup Powdered Sugar
6 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
4 tbsp Powdered Milk

Macarons – Dana’s Bakery Review

Youtube Macaron 1

Tasty Macarons

French Macarons are amazing.  In the words of Martha Stewart, “Macarons are light-as-a-feather French confections that can be assembled pulling from a mix-and-match palette of sweet fillings and bases.”  I had an opportunity, recently, to give a review of one of the best American Macaron bakery’s in the nation, Dana’s Bakery.  So unfortunately, this is not the Poor Man’s recipe for Macarons but a high recommendation of another American based business that can deliver your needs for any event; be it Weddings, Corporate Gifts or Special Occasions.

Dana’s Bakery

Dana’s Bakery sent me a dozen of their Macarons and they didn’t spare any expense.  I was, however, disappointed in the care of FedEx because my package was smashed in and torn on one end.  Luckily, though, it didn’t damage my order because Dana’s Bakery took extra care to package the Macarons with bubble wrap and a profession insulated thermal bag and a refrigerated Jelly pack to keep it cool during shipping.

As you’ll see in the video review below, I tried everyone of these little delicacies and I firmly believe that Dana’s Bakery certainly knows what they’re doing when it comes to Macarons.  Their flavors were off the wall delicious and I think you to will agree.  So definitely give them a try and be sure to tell them Poor Man’s Gourmet Kitchen sent you!
