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

Follow the instructions in the video tutorials to make this Chocolate Shell recipe.

Sweet Potato Casserole – Southern Style with Marshmallow and Walnuts

The Best Sweet Potato Casserole

This is, hands down, the absolute best Sweet Potato Casserole I have ever had, I swear!  And if that’s not enough of a selling point, I’m talking about Butter, Sugar, Cinnamon, Marshmallows and an awesome Walnut Crisp Crunch on top.  This is a classic Southern recipe that can be served for any dinner; especially Thanksgiving.  But this dish is so fresh and sweet you could top this off with some Vanilla Bean Ice Cream and serve it for dessert, it’s that good.

How I like my Sweet Potato Casserole

I’ve mixed the ideas of several different Sweet Potato recipes to develop this dish.  I love the traditional way my Grandmother always made it; sliced with toasted marshmallows over the top.  But, I also love the Southern style with a Walnut Apple pie style crisp or with Pecans, if you prefer.  Either way is delicious but when you combine the two, you end up with a symphony of flavors that just dance around your mouth with every bite.
