The Chocolate Monster

Product Information

When cold store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. There is no way that they ever last that long in our house!! Food Colouring –Gel food colouring is the best to use as it won’t water down your frosting and won’t alter the taste too much. Add the sugars : both the brown sugar and the granulated. Now is a good time to add the salt and vanilla as well. Whisk vigorously, we want to aerate the dough a bit and get the sugars to start dissolving (but we aren’t quite creaming it). Abigail opens both doors to the living room, but only one of the doors is open when Cree falls over her. In a separate bowl, add flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, rolled oats and salt and gently whisk together. Then add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Mix on a low speed until chocolate cookie dough forms.

But now I am realizing that, less than 1 week away from Halloween, I haven’t shared any Halloween themed recipes with you. Halloween is a great opportunity for family fun and the themed food opportunities always get my creativity flowing, so you can expect lots of new fun and spooky recipes from me over the coming weeks!

There’s no chilling step with this recipe. The cookie dough goes from bowl to baking sheet in no time at all. Thank goodness because waiting for these to bake is a test of willpower. Butter : Unsalted or salted – if you are using salted I might omit the salt in the dough because coupled with the peanut butter you’re risking it being overly salty. You can add just a pinch if you know you like a well salted cookie. Start with room temperature butter. Add brown sugar and caster sugar– as well as a splash of vanilla. Beat together using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

Preheat the oven and prep the pans : Grease two cookie sheets (I use either an oil spray or I’ll rub the residue from the butter wrapper on the pan) and line them with parchment paper. Snip the corner off, then pipe in a random squiggly pattern over one of the skewers. Repeat with 3 more skewers or until all the mixture has been used up.No part of this post may be reproduced or duplicated without the written permission of the owner. Please see my Disclosure Policy. Once finished, place the trays of monster pops in the fridge to harden and set – about 15 to 20 minutes should be enough. The way Heinrich can create chocolate bridges and coat things in chocolate is similar to Iceman from the X-Men. Start by partially melting the butter : set cold butter in a heatproof bowl, then heat it in the microwave for about 60-90 minutes, until half of it is melted and the other half is soft enough to whisk so you have a creamy, melty butter. So, whatever you are making, baking and creating in your kitchens this Easter, have fun preparing and sharing your feast.
