All About Dove Dark Chocolate

All About Dove Dark Chocolate-Cookie Recipes For Kids

Dove is a chocolate that is made by the Mars company. They make both dark, as well as milk chocolate products. But, that is not the only types of confections that they make. They also market other products that include caramel, fruit and nut, and even ice cream bars. These ice cream bars were primarily only in the Chicago area until nineteen eighty five and then they became a national distributed item.

Cookie Recipes For Kids

The company started in nineteen fifty six in Chicago with Leo Stefanos. He was any owner of a candy store that also sold ice cream and one day he saw his son run down the street toward the ice cream truck and thought is was very dangerous for his child to do that. He also wanted to have a place where children could get ice cream bars away from the dangers of the street. Therefore, he took his best ice cream blocks and cut them into little squares. He then dipped them into melted chocolate and would let them refreeze. These became an instant hit and people would come from miles around to enjoy his tasty, sweet concoction.

Mike, Leo's son, took over the company business after his father's passing and was intrigued by the amount of people directly in the Chicago area that knew of his father's creation and began to wonder if the folks of the rest of the country would feel the same way. The treat had become a Chicago favorite for many years and Mike decided to present it at the Fancy Food Show that was being held in Washington DC in nineteen eighty four. Suddenly, orders began to literally pour into the company from places around the United States. This set the company on the road to national attention and the Dovebar became a household name.

The company was sold to the Mars company in nineteen eighty five and they added it to their stable of the M&M'S and the Snicker's brands with tremendous success. Although the original chocolate bar was made with milk chocolate, they have since incorporated a dark chocolate type of this ice cream bar too. They also make both milk as well as dark chocolate candy bars also and these are also some of their top sellers. The company now has sales that are in the billions each and every year and it is probably attributed to the attention and care that they put into each product.

Fill the paper lines 2/3 full of the batter and bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the cupcake comes out clean.

When done, take out cupcakes from muffin pan and transfer to a wire rack until slightly cool. Make a coin-size hole in the center of each cupcake. Place your prepared frosting inside a parchment paper or a baggie and squeeze into the cupcake holes. Press a gummy worm into the frosting of each cupcake.

Decadent Dessert - White Chocolate Raspberry Cookies

Everyone loves cookies. They are small, portable, and sweet. White chocolate and raspberries seem to be made for each other. Why not combine them all and make white chocolate raspberry cookies? It may sound decadent, but you only live once, right? Close your eyes and imagine... the first bite. Your teeth break through the light crispness of the cookie and sink into the soft inner portion of the cookie.

The cookie bite fills your mouth with texture and flavor. The brightness of the raspberry bursts on your tongue, mixing sweetness with a touch of tartness. The creamy white chocolate takes over, mixing with the raspberry, smoothing it out. The crumbly cookie adds in a wonderful chewy texture. Sounds wonderful, does not it? It makes you want to run right out to the store and get the ingredients so you can mix up a batch right now.

Easy Cookie

It may be unusual to use fresh fruit in a cookie recipe, but why not do it? The raspberries add a uniqueness to this recipe that you do not normally find in a cookie made with dried fruits. You might be able to use frozen raspberries, but they may end up being too soggy. Fresh is best. They will be in season before you know it. Look at your local farmer's market or roadside farm stand for the best raspberries. If you can stop yourself from eating them all before you get home, make the cookies. Serve them with tea, vanilla ice cream or just enjoy them on their own. They would be perfect for a tea party, a shower, potluck, or other get together. You can even increase the decadence and add some macadamia nuts if you really want to push the envelope. Everyone will want your recipe, so go ahead and make a few copies and keep them with you. Once everyone tastes these cookies, you will be the one everyone turns to for great cookies.

Recipe for White Chocolate Raspberry Cookies

Serve these colorful, rich cookies with tea for a real treat.

What You Need

8 Tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1 large egg 3/4 teaspoon vanilla 1 Tablespoon heavy cream 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 3/8 teaspoon salt 3 Tablespoons cornstarch 1-1/3 cups flour 4 to 5 ounces white chocolate, broken into small chunks 1/2 cup fresh raspberries, washed and dried

How to Make It

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Cream both sugars and the butter together with your mixer. Beat in the egg, the vanilla, and cream. Mix in salt, baking soda, and cornstarch. Add flour and stir in until just blended. Fold in white chocolate chunks.

Using tablespoons, drop dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper.

Slice raspberries in half or in quarters, depending on how much you want to add to each cookie and the size of the raspberries. Gently press the raspberry pieces into your cookie dough.

Bake in the oven for 12-13 minutes. Transfer finished cookies to a wire rack for cooling.

Vegan Holiday Baking - Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Soft, spicy, and generously sized, these decadent vegan Christmas cookies are the perfect holiday treat or an ideal finale to your vegan holiday feast.

Vegan egg-replacement options

Cookie Recipes For Kids

If you're new to vegan baking, you may be wondering how to work around the eggs that most baking recipes call for. The answer is finding the right egg substitute for the dish you're creating. In non-vegan recipes eggs are generally used to either provide leavening or act as a binder, or both. Vegan egg substitutes do the same, but different substitutes provide differing degrees of binding and leavening. Any of the vegan egg replacements listed below will work well in these cookies.

Ener-G Powdered Egg Replacer, available on-line and in many health food stores. Highly recommended. Banana, mashed. Half a banana equals one egg. Applesauce and baking powder. 1/4 cup applesauce mixed with 1/2 tsp baking powder equals one egg. Cornstarch and baking powder. One heaping Tbs. cornstarch and a small pinch of baking powder mixed with two Tbs. water equals one egg.

One of the best things about these cookies is that they store very well - in fact, they actually get better if they're made in advance. For optimal flavor, make these cookies a day or so in advance and store in an air-tight container until you're ready to serve.

Ingredients:

1 cup Nucoa or Butter-Flavored Crisco

2 cups white sugar

2 "eggs" (see vegan egg-replacement options above)

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 15 ounce can pumpkin pie filling (for a less sweet cookie, use a can of pumpkin puree)

4 cups flour

1 1/2 tsp baking soda

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1 tsp cinnamon

Pinch ground nutmeg

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (the cheapest available are usually dairy-free)

Have two greased cookie sheets ready. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Put shortening and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Using an electric beater, cream until smooth. Beat in "eggs." Stir in vanilla and pumpkin until well blended.

Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in another mixing bowl. Stir into the pumpkin mixture. Add chocolate chips.

Drop eight round tablespoons of dough onto each cookie sheet. Cookies will spread as they bake. Bake 10-12 minutes, or until edges begin to brown. Let cookies stand for a few minutes before removing from baking sheets to cool completely.

Re-grease sheets and repeat baking process. Store in air-tight containers until ready to serve.

Easy Chocolate Cake Recipes

I love chocolate

I love chocolate and so does the rest of my family. It doesn't matter what form it's in either, I'll eat it in chocolate chip cookies or death by chocolate dessert or even just by the bar. It's so nice to go out to eat because you get to try a different chocolate dessert almost every time but it's a shame you can't do that every day, or can you?

Easy Cookie Recipes For Kids

You can't go out to eat every day, or at least not many of us can, and satisfying your desire for chocolate in different forms is probably difficult. I only know two recipes and neither of them are very exiting. It's either chocolate brownies out of a packet or chocolate ice cream out of a tub. Don't you wish that you could eat the same things at home that you would if you went out to a swanky restaurant?

Are you stopping yourself doing just that because you think that eating chocolate desserts every day would give you serious weight problems? I know that I do, there must be oodles of calories in those desserts and there probably is in the ones you get in restaurants.

Easy chocolate cake recipes can be low in calories

What if I were to tell you that you could make chocolate desserts that are low in calories and cheap to make? What if you could have thousands of different recipes all with easy instructions that would make eating a different chocolate dessert every day simple as pie?

Well you can have your cake and eat it. The web site below has thousands of easy chocolate cake recipes and other chocolate recipes just waiting for you to snap them up. They even come with videos to show you exactly how to do it, what could be simpler than that?

What I like best about these recipes is that not only are they really simple to make but they are also very healthy too. I never thought that it was possible but yes you can eat dessert as if you were out at a restaurant every day if you want.

Mix well to blend and stir in the vanilla. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto lightly greased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 degrees about 10 minutes until partially done. Remove from oven and add 1/2 of a marshmallow, cut side down, to the top of each cookie. Return to the oven and bake another 8 minutes or so until the marshmallows are soft.

LIGHTLY SWEET TASTING SUGAR COOKIES

6 tbsp butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg or 1/4 cup egg substitute
1 tsp vanilla

1 tbsp white corn syrup
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornmeal (not cornbread mix)

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt; add to the butter mixture just until blended. Divide the dough in half and wrap each half separately in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least two hours.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray cookie sheets lightly with cooking spray.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough (working with only half of the dough at a time) to a 1/4" thickness. Using your favorite cookie cutters that are lightly floured, cut the dough into shapes. Place about 2-inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets. Sprinkle each cookie with approximately two teaspoons of the colored sugar. Bake at 350 degrees for 7 to 9 minutes or until the cookies are set and bottoms are lightly browned.

Yield: 2 1/2 dozen.
