I decided not to begin my post today with a fail. Rather, I'm first sharing the lovely banana bread and dog treats I made yesterday. The dog treats are mashed bananas, vanilla yogurt and ground oatmeal, mixed and dropped by spoonfuls onto parchment paper. I baked them until they were crispy, instead of chewy. Our doggers love them.
One load of banana bread went up the hill and the other is for here. So, that was the good part of my creative kitchen time the past couple days. Now for the other adventure.
Read the recipe. I mean, really. How darn hard could it be? I let the cream cheese sit at room temp, added the rest of the ingredients and cooled the mixture for a couple hours in the fridge. Then I tried to form the mixture into balls. I used one of those "ejecting" ice cream scoops. BAHAHAHAHA! Then into the freezer overnight.
When I took them out of the freezer, they still weren't hard, but I figured i could easily dip them into the melted chocolate and send them back to the freezer.
I may make the recipe again, but I think I may make them spread out in a pan next time. On the other hand, there are lots of other recipes in my kitchen. I may just let this one slide. If you make it, I'd love to know how they turn out for you.
Oh, and Handsome said they taste fine...even if they look like they were dropped on the floor. lol
I'm on my way to Primitive Gatherings for Sewcial Sisters today, and then spending the next few days with my sister. I'll be checking in tomorrow from her house. See you later. Gotta run!
