French Chocolates

8 squares unsweetened chocolate
4 ounces German sweet chocolate
1 can sweetened condensed milk (15 ounces)

buttered baking sheets in clusters of three. Spoon caramel
mixture over nuts, leaving outer ends of nuts showing. Let
stand to set, about 30 minutes. Spread melted chocolate over
caramel mixture. Makes 2 dozen.


Chocolate Butter

1 stick butter, softened; cut into pieces
1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted

Apparently women crave chocolate more than sex. And in their lifetime women will buy more chocolate and period products than anything else while men will buy more condoms and alcohol than anything else!

[MoonRaven]

Oooo.. I gotta write all these down.

Maybe at this year's family X-mas get-together, I can bring something like that instead of the standard tray of chocolate truffles! (Ok.. maybe I'll bring both.)

I have to ask though, after reading through a second time, on that Turtle cheesecake... what precisely is "fudge topping?"
