Ha ha ha ha ha!...
My immaturity is what I love most about myself.
That and my newly dyed blonde hair.
So, because I have to notify all subscribers (spoiler alert: I don't have any because: reasons!) that this site does, can and will use those goldanged ominous cookies, I thought I would give you a quick cookie tip.
If you're a mom or dad, (or play one on TV) then you'll just stamp a DUH on this. If you're a newbie, then listen up!
Now that Halloween is around the corner (as far as all the store decorations are concerned), you'll be wondering what to do with all that left over candy, right?
If you are one of those parents who hoovers down all your kids' candy when their back is turned (not judging) then please feel free to open up another bottle of wine and get back to that Historical Romance you're reading.
Don't let this post get in the way of your life.
For those who have an iota of willpower (however fleeting), then grab those chocolate bars, chop them up into rough chunks and use them wherever a recipe calls for chocolate chips. Use the choclate bars even when a cookie recipe DOESN'T call for chocolate. Be a rebel! Mix two or three chocolate bars to create your own unique creation. Your kids will be impressed. You'll be able to control their candy consumption AND you'll be creating something delicious.
Another delish tip: Substitute imitation brandy for vanilla. Nothing makes the taste buds tango like brandy snickerdoodle fusion cookies.
You don't need a step-by-step recipe from me because I don't even know where the heck I put it. It's all about substitution and creativity.
