Creamy Chocolate Squares Recipes

Steps:

• Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 10x16-inch rimmed sheet pan with 1 tablespoon room-temperature butter and set aside.
• Place the Oreos in the bowl of a food processor and pulverize until fine. Add the melted butter and continue to process until the crumbs hold together when squeezed, about five (1-second) pulses. Turn the cookie crumbs out onto the prepared sheet pan and, with the bottom of a measuring cup, press them to the edges of the prepared pan in an even layer. (Don't worry about working the crumbs up the sides of the pan.) Bake the crust until it is set, about 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Add the chocolate and 1 1/4 cups cream to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until the chocolate is completely melted, about 1 1/2 minutes. Whisk until glossy and smooth. Whisk in the remaining tablespoon of room-temperature butter and pour the chocolate mixture over the baked crust, spreading it evenly with an offset spatula. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the filling is completely set, about 2 hours.
• Combine the remaining 1 1/4 cups cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla in a medium-size bowl. Beat with a handheld mixer or a whisk (or using a stand mixer fitted with a whisk) at medium-high speed until the mixture forms stiff peaks. Spread the cream over the chocolate filling. Slice into 20 bars and serve. The bars will keep in an airtight container (or in the sheet pan covered with plastic wrap) in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Combine shredded coconut, coconut cream, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt to a food processor and blend until mixture becomes easily moldable. You may have to press down the mixture and reblend a few times for this to happen.
• Pour mixture into an 8x8-inch (20x20-cm) pan lined with parchment or wax paper. Press down firmly with a rubber spatula and smooth mixture into an even layer.
• Freeze for 30 minutes.
• Prepare chocolate layer by combining dark chocolate chips and coconut cream in a bowl. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring mixture thoroughly in between.
• Pour chocolate mixture on top of the coconut cream layer and spread into an even layer with a rubber spatula.
• Sprinkle shredded coconut on top.
• Freeze for 1 hour, or until chocolate layer has set.
• Cut into 16 squares.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Place 15 graham squares on bottom of 13x9-inch pan, cutting as necessary to fit.
• Beat cream cheese in large bowl with mixer until creamy. Gradually beat in 1 cup milk until well blended. Add remaining milk and dry pudding mixes; beat on low speed 2 min. Gently stir in COOL WHIP.
• Spread half the pudding mixture onto bottom of prepared pan; top with remaining graham squares and pudding mixture.
• Refrigerate 4 hours. Top with raspberries just before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
• Cook chopped dates and water over low heat until soft. Set aside.
• Cream together sugar and shortening. Add eggs and beat well. Stir in flour, salt, baking soda, cocoa and vanilla and mix well. Stir in date mixture.
• Pour in 9 x 11 inch pan and top with chocolate chips and chopped nuts. Bake until toothpick comes out clean. (10 - 15 minutes)

Steps:

• Grease an 8x8 inch square baking pan. Set aside.
• Combine sugar, cocoa and milk in a medium saucepan. Stir to blend, then bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer. Do not stir again.
• Place candy thermometer in pan and cook until temperature reaches 238 degrees F(114 degrees C). If you are not using a thermometer, then cook until a drop of this mixture in a cup of cold water forms a soft ball. Feel the ball with your fingers to make sure it is the right consistency. It should flatten when pressed between your fingers.
• Remove from heat. Add butter or margarine and vanilla extract. Beat with a wooden spoon until the fudge loses its sheen. Do not under beat.
• Pour into prepared pan and let cool. Cut into about 60 squares.

Steps:

• microwave 3/4 cup of margarine and 2 oz. chocolate squares until melted. Stir together.
• Stir in graham cracker crumbs, coconut and peanuts (I don't use the coconut because my husband doesn't like it). Press mixture onto bottom of 13x9 inch backing pan. Chill 30 minutes.
• Mix cream cheese, sugar, vanilla until well blended. Spread over graham cracker crust. Chill 30 minutes.
• Microwave reamaining margarine and chocolate squares until melted. Mix well, and then spread over the cream cheese layer. Chill until chocolate is hardened.
• cut into squares and serve. Hint: Warm a knife with warm water to cut without cracking the chocolate topping.
• The review reminded me that I do double my chocolate topping. It just makes it that much better!
