CHOCOLATE COVERED CHERRY BROWNIE BOMBS RECIPE - (4/5)



Chocolate Covered Cherry Brownie Bombs Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by bobcat

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 box brownie mix and ingredients as needed on the instructions of the box
1 can chocolate frosting
3-4 cups milk chocolate chips
1 can cherry pie filling

Steps:

  • Make brownies and bake according to directions on the box. Let cool completely. DO NOT OVERCOOK. Crumble the brownies and mix in about 3/4 cup of chocolate frosting. If you've made cake pops before, you want a similar consistency. Add more frosting a little at a time if you need to until you have the right consistency (stays together easily, but isn't too sticky) to roll into balls. Start with about 1 tablespoon of brownie/frosting mixture. Form into a ball, then make a hole in the middle to drop one cherry from the pie filling into. Use a little more the brownie/frosting mixture if needed to seal the cherry in. Place balls in freezer for about 20 minutes. While they are hardening in the freezer, melt the chocolate chips. You may use more or less depending on how heavily you coat the balls. After removing the balls from the freezer, keep them in the refrigerator while taking one out at a time and dropping into the melted chocolate, tap off the excess chocolate and place on wax paper for them to dry completely.

CHERRY-CREAM CHEESE CRUMB CAKE BOMBS



Cherry-Cream Cheese Crumb Cake Bombs image

In my family, we all agree that the sweet, crunchy crumb topping is the best part of any baked good. Growing up, it was not uncommon to meet my aunt or mom in the kitchen late at night, stealing a few crumbs off the top of the cake. The next day there would be noticeably fewer crumbs, and some guilty looks on everyone's faces. I don't always have the energy to create time-intensive, complicated baked goods, so I have come up with some shortcuts. Thanks to Pillsbury™, the hard work of making the pastry is done, and I get to just focus on making memories and connecting my children to our heritage. I am proud to encourage a new generation of crumb topping lovers!

Time 55m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 ounces (from 8-ounce package) cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
2 tablespoons butter, melted
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
One 12.4-ounce can Pillsbury™ refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing (8 rolls)
3 tablespoons cherry preserves or jam
1 egg
1 teaspoon water

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray 8 regular-size muffin cups with cooking spray.
  • In small bowl, stir cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Set aside. In another small bowl, using fork or pastry blender, mix melted butter, 4 tablespoons of the flour and the granulated sugar until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Set aside.
  • Separate dough into 8 rolls. Place remaining 1 tablespoon flour off to the side, on work surface. Dip cinnamon-coated side of each roll into flour; shake off excess. With cinnamon side up, press each roll into 3 1/2-inch round. Spoon 1 teaspoon of the preserves in center of each roll; top with 1 rounded teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture. Bring edges of each roll up over filling; pinch edges tightly to seal. Place rolls, pinched side down, in muffin cups.
  • In small bowl, beat egg and water with fork. Brush egg mixture over top of each roll. Sprinkle 1 rounded tablespoon of the crumb topping on each roll; slightly press into dough.
  • Bake 16 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan 5 minutes. Remove cake bombs from pan; place on cooling rack.

I got this recipe off of a pepperhead forum, and man, is it killer! I use the Cherry Bomb strain cherry peppers(extra hot), from my garden, but you can use whatever peppers you have on hand. Jalapenos, Habaneros, Anaheim, Poblano, etc. A great way to use up all the extra peppers from the garden! Easy to make, great for the Superbowl, any football Sunday, or any other party occasion.

These take a little time to make but it is so worth it!

Provided by Kathy Sandoz

Categories     Candies

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 stick butter, unsalted; melted
2 lb powdered sugar, sifted
1 c coconut
1 can(s) sweetened condensed milk
2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 c chopped pecans
stemmed cherries

1 pkg semi-sweet chocoate chips (12-oz)

Steps:

  • 1. Mix butter, sugar and milk. Add coconut, vanilla and nuts. Chill.
  • 2. Form balls with cherries in the middle. Make sure you completely cover the cherry, leaving the stem exposed so you can hold it to dip the ball into the chocolate. Chill again.
  • 3. Melt ½ cake of paraffin with 12 ounces chocolate chips over hot water. Hold the cherry stem and dip each ball into the chocolate. If the chocolate coating seems too thin, let it harden for a minute or so and dip again until it is how you want it. Place on parchment or waxed paper to dry. Store in air-tight containers in refrigerator.
  • 4. *NOTE: These can be made without cherries. Stick toothpicks into the balls to dip in the chocolate. IDEAS: Try adding in a few drops of food coloring before chilling, then form into balls for a little bit of color.

Serving Suggestion: If you have extra cream cheese and avocado, mix them together and add some Sriracha. Enjoy on pepper strips or crackers. For more great California Avocado recipes, visit CaliforniaAvocado.com.

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients
32 cherry tomatoes
2 teaspoons Sriracha chili sauce
1/4 cup light cream cheese
1 ripe, Fresh California Avocado, peeled and seeded
32 thin strips red bell pepper or chile pepper (for spicier appetizers use red jalapeño or habanero chiles (1/2-inch long each strip)
*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
As with all fruits and vegetables, wash avocados before cutting. Check out our tips for how to choose and use California Avocados.
Serves 8 (4 tomatoes per serving)

Steps:

  • Cut a small slice off the top of each cherry tomato and hollow out the center of each, discarding the seeds and juice. If the tomatoes will not stand up, cut a very small slice off the bottom so that they have a flat bottom.
  • Squirt a couple of drops of Sriracha into each tomato.
  • Fill each tomato about half way with cream cheese. Depending on the size of the tomatoes, you may have extra cream cheese.
  • Cut the avocado into little cubes sized to fit in the tomatoes. You may have extra avocado. Place the avocado cubes on top of the cream cheese in each tomato, pushing down gently.
  • Add a generous drop of Sriracha on top of each tomato and insert a pepper strip to look like the cherry bomb fuse. Serve.
  • Tip: Use a baby food spoons or other very small spoon to hollow out and fill the tomatoes.
