    Chocolate or Peanut Butter Magic Shell There is something about
    cracking through a sweet candy shell that's just, well, magical. To
    make a chocolate shell, you need seven ounces of roughly chopped chocolate--any chocolate--and two tablespoons of coconut oil. Combine
    the two in a double boiler or in a sauce pan over very low heat, stir until smooth, pour on top of ice cream, and get to cracking. For the peanut butter shell, combine half a cup of smooth peanut butter with a quarter of a cup of coconut oil and microwave in 30 second intervals
    until smooth. (If you have any leftovers, store them in the fridge and reheat them in the microwave before each use.)

    Yum :)

    you re-opened your BBS? If so I'll probably be a regular caller. Still

    Here's a recipe that covers both your chocolate and your peanut butter
    magic.

    Title: Buckeyes
    Categories: Candy, Chocolate, Nuts, Rice
    Yield: 24 Servings

    1/4 lb Butter; softened
    1 lb Powdered sugar
    2 c Chunky peanut butter
    3 c Rice Krispies cereal
    12 oz Chocolate chips
    1/3 Bar paraffin or wax

    Thoroughly mix the butter, powdered sugar, chunky peanut
    butter and the Rice Krispies together. Separately, melt
    the chocolate chips and your choice of wax or paraffin
    together using a double boiler. If no double boiler is
    available, microwave the chocolate mix until it has melted
    and no further. Make small balls of peanut butter mixture
    and dip into chocolate mix. Let dry on waxed paper.

    Oh yeah, sorry for the confusion... I've been back for a while... essentially I only left fido for about 2 months and that was indeed a while ago.

    Well, maybe. First Malware Bytes spit up on it as being a "Trojan". Then
    I got an immediate disconnect which I suspect is caused by my term
    program going for Port 23 - which hardly anyone uses any more.

    Here's a recipe that covers both your chocolate and your peanut butter magic.

    How are you on cherries?

    MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

    Title: Better Than Store Bought Chocolate Covered Cherries
    Categories: Fruits, Chocolate, Dairy
    Yield: 25 Cherries

    3 c Powdered sugar
    1/4 c Butter
    1/4 c Condensed sweetened milk;
    - not evaporated
    4 ts Canilla extract
    pn Salt
    12 oz Bag good quality chocolate
    - chips (milk, semi-sweet,
    - or dark)
    14 oz (400 g) jar maraschino
    - cherries; drained, dried,
    -juice reserved

    Start by making a fondant - simply combine the first
    five ingredients until smooth and not sticky. Chill in
    fridge for an hour.

    Line a baking sheet with wax paper and spread cherries
    out in a single layer - stems on, if possible. Freeze
    for an hour.

    When ready to make your chocolate covered cherries,
    remove fondant and cherries from the fridge/freezer.
    Since it takes a bit of time to make these, I remove
    only a few cherries and a bit of fondant at a time so
    that they don't get too warm and sticky.

    Wrap each cherry in 1-2 teaspoons of the fondant,
    forming a tight ball. Return cherries to tray and freeze
    again for an hour.

    Use either the microwave or a double-boiler to melt your
    chocolate. Thin it down with enough reserved cherry
    juice to get the proper consistency for dipping.

    Removing a few fondant-wrapped cherries from the freezer
    at a time, dip them in the chocolate and coat
    completely. Let the excess chocolate drip off, then
    put the cherry on wax paper to rest. Dab a bit of extra
    chocolate on top to cover any hole left from the
    toothpick.

    When done, place dipped cherries in the fridge to set.
    Store in an airtight container in the fridge as well. If
    you let them be for a few days, the center with be nice
    and liquidy... but they're good right away too!
