CHOCOLATE DRIZZLED OATMEAL LACE COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper.
• In 1-quart saucepan, heat butter and brown sugar over medium-low heat 3 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until butter is melted and mixture is stirred smooth.
• Transfer mixture to medium bowl. Stir in oats, almonds, flour, salt and vanilla. Cool 5 minutes; stir in egg white until well mixed.
• Drop mixture by level tablespoonsful onto cookie sheet, spacing about 2 1/2 inches apart. Spray back of clean spoon with cooking spray, and press back of spoon to spread each mound into 2 1/2-inch circle, respraying as necessary to prevent sticking.
• Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until deep golden brown and crisp around edges. Cool on cookie sheet until firm, about 3 minutes. Carefully remove with thin metal spatula; transfer to cooling rack to cool completely. Repeat for remaining cookies.
• In small microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips 45 to 60 seconds, stirring every 15 seconds, until melted and stirred smooth. Transfer to small resealable food-storage plastic bag; cut off small corner of bag. Drizzle lightly on top of cookies; cool about 1 hour or until chocolate is set.

KELSEY'S CHOCOLATE POPCORN BRITTLE

Steps:

• Mix the sugar and honey in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Let simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and mix in the crunchy peanut butter. Continue to stir until the peanut butter is smooth, and then add the vanilla.
• In a large mixing bowl, add the popped popcorn. If desired, lightly salt the popcorn. Pour the warm peanut butter mixture over the popcorn and stir with a long-handled wooden spoon until completely coated.
• On a baking sheet lined with wax paper, pour the coated popcorn and distribute evenly. Drizzle with the melted semisweet chocolate, and then drizzle with the white chocolate. Sprinkle the crushed pretzels over the warm popcorn. Allow the chocolate to set about 20 minutes (or speed up the process by placing the baking sheet in the refrigerator). Once the popcorn is set, serve in a large serving bowl. Store tightly covered.

RICH CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH SALTY DULCE DE LECHE & HAZELNUT BRITTLE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a 10-inch round cake pan by greasing it with cooking spray and then lining the bottom with parchment paper.
• 2. To make the cake, pour the hot coffee into a medium bowl and stir in the cocoa powder until it dissolves. Stir in the brown sugar, followed by the yogurt and the vanilla. Stir thoroughly to ensure that all of the ingredients are incorporated.
• 3. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and granulated sugar on medium speed until light-yellow and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the eggs and mix for 2 minutes, scraping down the bowl as needed.
• 4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. With the mixer running on low speed, mix in a third of the flour mixture and half of the coffee mixture. Scrape down the bowl. Add another third of the flour mixture and all the remaining coffee mixture. Remove the bowl from the mixer and, using a rubber spatula, fold in the remaining flour mixture until all of the ingredients are fully incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
• 5. Bake for 25 minutes. Rotate the pan in the oven and bake for 20 more minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove the pan from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 20 minutes. Then turn the cake out onto a clean plate, remove the parchment, and turn the cake back over onto a wire rack. Let the cake cool completely.
• 6. In a food processor, pulse the brittle pieces 3 to 4 times until the brittle is powdery.
• 7. Put the cooled cake on a serving dish. In a microwave-safe dish, heat the dulce de leche on high power for 30 seconds, or until it is just liquid. Spoon the dulce de leche over the cake, and then sprinkle the kosher salt over the dulce de leche. Sprinkle about 1/2 cup of the ground brittle around the outer edge of the cake as a delicious decoration.

• Generously grease 15x10-inch pan with sides with butter.
• In ungreased heavy skillet, cook benne seed over medium-low heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring constantly, until golden brown. Remove from skillet.
• In same skillet, cook sugar and water over low heat 10 minutes, stirring constantly, until sugar melts. Remove from heat; stir in benne seed and vanilla.
• Pour into pan. Quickly spread to 1/8-inch thickness, using metal spatula. Cool completely, about 20 minutes. Break into pieces. Store in airtight container.

CHOCOLATE GANACHE & SALTED CARAMEL BRITTLE

Steps:

• For the ganache, put the chocolate into a large bowl. Heat the cream in a pan until just boiling, then pour it over the chocolate. Leave for 5 mins, then stir until smooth. Put the ganache to one side to thicken and cool, then chill until needed.
• For the caramel sauce, heat the sugar and butter in a pan until the sugar has dissolved and the butter has melted. Add the cream, bring to the boil, then remove from the heat and leave to cool.
• For the brittle, line a baking tray with baking parchment, then put the sugar and 4 tbsp of water in a heavy-based frying pan and heat, without stirring, until golden brown. Stir through the nuts, and pour (in a thin layer) over the parchment. Sprinkle with ½ tsp flaky sea salt and leave to set.
• To serve, drizzle each plate with sauce, heat a large spoon in a cup of hot water, then scoop out a curl of chocolate ganache for each plate. Break the brittle into shards and push a piece into each scoop. Sprinkle with crumbled brittle and add a pinch of sea salt.
