When I Dip, You Dip, We Dip

Last Saturday a couple of my friends came over to join me in some more holiday baking.

There was a lot of dipping... we melted vanilla almond bark and covered pretzels.
Then we melted semi-sweet chocolate chips and dipped more pretzels!

We crushed up some oreos, mixed in some softened cream cheese, rolled them, and then DIPPED them into semi-sweet chocolate AND vanilla almond bark.

If you're wondering why it seems like the girls did most of the work, it's because they did :o) I was feeling a little under the weather, so I didn't want to get my hands all over the rolling and dipping and share my germs. I stuck to mixing and making the fudge since it required cooking.

This was my favorite combo of the day!

We tried a new recipe Chubby Hubby Truffles. Pretzels, peanut butter, powdered sugar, butter, and DIPPED in chocolate!


These babies were not as easy to roll into balls. The mixture was a little dry, so I added some more melted butter, but they were still pretty chunky. They simply had character...

And after a couple years of trying different recipes, I asked my mom for her fudge recipe. Well, technically, I got it from my sister (thanks to both of you!) and have decided, I shall try no other recipe. It was creamy, chocolatey, required no thermometer... it was just plain delicious. I've already made another batch to have on hand over Christmas weekend.
We had a fun day and each got quite a few treats to eat and share!

To life... full of melted chocolate!
