Firecracker Chocolate

Mmmmmm, I just tied a new chocolate $4/bar.  It was amazing.  Dark Chocolate with chipotle, salt and popping candy.  AMAZING!  It was totally worth the $$ and delicious!

Today is kind of a crazy day, the boys are leaving to go camping...so Livie and I are going to "hang" with mom mom and poppy!  Tomorrow night is my pampered chef party.  These are not healthy recipes but I'm making pampered chef's baked brie and crab dip.  Then my mom is bringing a reese pie and we'll be making a Ring with chicken broccoli and cheese. 

Crab Dip
1/2 brick light cream cheese
4 oz lump crab
1/4 C. Cocktail sauce
Crackers

Take the cream cheese and spread it on a small rectangle platter.  Sprinkle unbroken lump crab on top of cream cheese and distribute cocktail sauce on top.  Serve with crackers yum (I'll post pictures later)

cup chopped apple
(½ medium apple)
cup sliced natural almonds
cup dried cranberries
tablespoon packed brown sugar
teaspoon Pantry Korintje Cinnamon
tablespoon butter or margarine, melted
round (8 ounces) Brie cheese (about 4 inches in diameter)
Crackers or cocktail bread slices

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Coarsely chop apple with food chopper. Combine apple, almonds, cranberries, brown sugar and cinnamon in small batter bowl; mix gently. Stir in butter just until ingredients are moistened.
  2. Cut Brie in half horizontally using utility knife. Place one half of Brie, rind side down, on small bar pan. Spoon half of the apple mixture onto bottom half of Brie, spreading evenly. Top with remaining half of Brie, rind side up. Spoon remaining apple mixture over top. Bake 12-15 minutes or until cheese is soft and just begins to melt. Serve with assorted crackers or cocktail bread slices.
I LOVE to cook so this will be fun!  Then of course I'll have some wine :)

I didn't run last night and I have no idea how I will be able to run tonight with Livie lou...maybe we'll just go for a walk, Yup, that is what we'll have to do.  I'll just put her in her stroller and we'll take a stroll!
