Betty's Chocolate Turtle Dessert Pizza Recipe
In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a sinfully rich, delightfully decadent dessert, Chocolate Turtle Dessert Pizza. It's a mixture of everything you love--but it is not light on the calories! Ingredients; 16 oz. Nestle Toll House Brownie Bites cookie dough 1/2 recipe of cream cheese frosting (See Betty's Fresh Fruit Pizza for the recipe, or used canned frosting.) 8 oz. caramel topping toppings--some combination of any of these: miniature marshmallows, semisweet chocolate chips, chopped pecans, white chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, milk chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, coconut, maraschino cherries, sliced almonds For garnish: Reddi-Wip stemmed maraschino cherries Separate the squares of brownie mix and place evenly in a pizza pan (or in a circle on a cookie sheet). Use your fingers to press the squares together, forming a complete circle. Place in a 350-degree oven, and bake about 11 to 15 minutes. (Do not over-bake.) Remove from oven and cool completely. (You may speed this up by placing the large brownie circle in a refrigerator, after it has cooled a bit.) When the brownie circle is cool, spread the cream cheese frosting over the top. Next, drizzle the caramel topping over the cream cheese frosting, using about half of the jar. Now, place your toppings on the "pizza." You may choose from any of the above, as many as you like, and add others that appeal to you. Place each topping in a circle on top of the caramel topping, with the circles getting ...

Did You Know That The Delicious Chocolate Chip Cookie Was An Accident?
The chocolate chip cookie is almost mainly eaten where it hailed from in the U.S. , although it is most indeed popular around the globe, and contains chocolate chips in every bite of the cookie, of which there may be many different kinds and shapes. The chocolate chip cookie is also recognized as the Toll House cookie, and came into being accidentally when baked by a woman named Ruth Graves Wakefield who owned a hotel called the Toll House Inn.
When she was baking some chocolate cookies, Ms. Wakefield ran out of baker's chocolate, and was forced to replace it with semi sweet chocolate that she thought would melt in the batter. Since that didn't happen, the first chocolate chip cookies came into being and because they were so delicious she was also able to trade this recipe to the Nestle Chocolate Company, and in return she would get a lifetime supply of all the chocolate chips she ever needed.
According to recent surveys more than seven billion chocolate chip cookies are eaten annually, and as many 50% of all American households make them to eat at home. The main ingredients that go into a chocolate chip cookie are brown and white sugars, flour, eggs, and semi-sweet chocolate. Some people also choose to add nuts to the batter. Anyone can mix and match the ingredients to what they desire them to be, though the Toll House Cookie recipe is the one that most aspire to equal.
To bake the chocolate chip cookie, the baker would have to cream the sugar and butter at a very high velocity usually done with a whisk or electric mixer, then the brown sugar and eggs, and then add some flour and baking powder. Chocolate chips can be added to the mix at the end of the whole process before scooping the cookie dough and placing it on a baking sheet to bake the cookies, although many people like to eat it by itself, something I seem to enjoy as well.
This sort of cookie is a big thing in the United States, and there is much talk of it in the press. It is also mentioned in TV shows such as Sesame Street, who can forget the Cookie Monster? Midwest Airlines bakes and serves fresh chocolate chip cookies on board their flights. Also a fact not widely known to many is that the desert camouflage pattern that U.S. military wore during the first Gulf War was nicknamed "chocolate chip," since it greatly resembled chocolate chip cookie dough having brown, black and light tan specks all within the pattern of the uniform.

NutriSystem Desserts - How Do They Taste? Are They Really Good? What Are the Choices?
I get a lot of questions about NutriSystem's desserts. After all, getting to eat sweets is a big draw of this diet. And, sweets that are low in calories, fats, and carbs are pretty rare in a diet. But, how do they taste? Because what good is getting to eat desserts if they taste like cardboard or if your only choices are a few or undesirable ones? So, in the following article, I'll go over the NutriSystem dessert options, how they taste, and what your choices are.
Cakes: There are a couple of cake choices. These include the golden pound cake and the chocolate. Now, when I say cake, I don't mean the round, two layer variety. You don't get an entire, big round thing like you would on your birthday. You basically get a slice. The portions are small, but decent enough. And the taste is not too bad at all, although I prefer the golden. No, there's no icing on these. But, what do you expect? Its a diet. And, I'm just happy I'm getting to have my cake and eat it too.
NutriSystem Cookies: There are a few varieties here including chocolate chip, double chocolate almond, oatmeal raisin, peanut butter, and white chocolate chunk. You know how some dietetic cookies have a cardboard like texture and they crumble horribly and make your mouth dry so that you feel like you can never get enough milk? These are not that bad and there isn't that fake sugar aftertaste. I find the chocolate chunk too strong tasting (a chocolate cookie with chocolate chips added in is overkill, in my opinion.) but, the white chocolate is my favorite. It has a nice, nutty, but sweet flavor.
NutriSystem Protein Bars And Candy Bars: There are two types of bars here. Basically, there is a granola, protein bar type option that comes in the following flavors: chocolate nougat with peanuts and caramel (kind of like snickers); chocolate delight (kind of like 3 musketeers); strawberry shortcake (kind of like a strawberry granola bar); chocolate peanut butter (kind of like Reece's); and blueberry lemon. (This one is my favorite. It is so light, fresh, and indulgent and is unique and different.)
In terms of the candy bar type options, there is a chocolate crunch bar (like Nestle's crunch) and a chocolate mint (like Andee's candies.)
Biscotti: I am very fond of the biscotti. If you've ever had Starbucks biscotti, you know that this is a crunchy, but sort of light treat that often has a nutty taste. There is an almond option and a chocolate macadamia nut. Both are very good, but I like the almond better.
NutriSystem Brownies: There are two choices here but both of them are chocolate. One is more of a chewy bar type and the other has a liquid center that you microwave. The liquid one tends to get messy and the soft liquid in the middle can be sort of a surprise if you are not expecting it.
Cocoa And Chocolate Pudding: The company also offers cocoa / hot chocolate and a pudding. Both are good, but nothing really different tasting that what you could get at the grocery store. The real difference lies in the fact that the company has somehow removed the excess carbs, sugar, fat and calories, which is a good thing.

Cookie Exchange Will Save Time at Christmas
The weeks before Christmas are very busy for all of us. We want a variety of Christmas cookies and goodies, but where can we find the time? Trying to balance shopping, cleaning, wrapping and baking can cause a lot of stress. Some baking stress can be eliminated by organizing a cookie exchange with some friends.
A Christmas cookie exchange allows us to have a variety of Christmas treats while only baking a few kinds of cookies. It works by finding 4 to 6 friends who are willing to bake 2 large batches of cookies. If we get 5 friends to do the cookie exchange, and each baked a large batch of 2 recipes to share, then each of us will end up with up with a variety of 10 different holiday cookies for family and friends. The exchange works best if you triple the batch so each person can get 2 dozen cookies from the bakers.
Two large batch recipes, perfect for sharing with members of your Christmas cookie exchange group, are favorites with my family and are listed below. In my family, one recipe is made only at Christmas, which is listed first, called DIVINITY. Another favorite Christmas cookie, Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies, is listed second.
DIVINITY
8 cups sugar, 2 cups light corn syrup, 1 & ½ cup water, 6 egg whites, 3 teaspoons vanilla & 2 cups broken nuts. Stir first 3 ingredients in a large saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until sugar is dissolved. Cook, without stirring, until a bead forms when small amount is dropped in cold water. Remove from heat.
In large bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form; slowly add the hot syrup, thin stream. Add vanilla, beat until mixture holds its shape, fold in nuts. Drop by buttered spoon onto waxed paper. Recipe makes 12 dozen candies.
Note: Use 3 tablespoons less water on humid days.
TOLL HOUSE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
6 & ¾ cups all-purpose flour, 3 tsp. baking soda, 3 tsp. salt, 3 cups (6 sticks, softened) butter, 2 & ¼ cup granulated sugar, 2 & ½ cup packed brown sugar, 3 tsp. vanilla extract, 6 large eggs, 3 (10 oz) bags of NESTLE TOLL HOUSE morsels, 3 cups nuts.
PREHEAT oven 350'. COMBINE flour, baking soda & salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar & vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels and nuts. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased cookie sheet. BAKE for 11 to 13 minutes, until edges are golden. Cool 2 minutes on cookie sheet then remove to cooling racks. Recipe makes 12 & ½ dozen cookies.
Note: If omitting nuts, add 5 tablespoons of flour.
Keeping with the Christmas spirit, it's fun to make the exchange an "affair to remember". Have a little party for fellow bakers with drinks and snacks.
