Are you barking up the wrong tree?

You won't be with this delectable gourmet chocolate bark!



Bark is super easy to make at home! Here's a quick recipe for a combo bark;

Simply place semi-sweet chocolate and white chocolate in separate medium microwaveable bowls & microwave until completely melted, following directions on package.

Spread melted chocolate on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
Crumble in toppings of your choice; crushed Oreos, marshmallow, pretzel pieces or whatever strikes your fancy & sprinkle topping(s)over melted chocolate.

Cut through chocolate mixtures several times with knife for marble effect.

Refrigerate until firm. Break into pieces & store in airtight container in refrigerator. Enjoy!

Chocolate Covered Pretzel MANIA

Need we say more..........


There's something extra wonderful about the sweet-n-salty taste of chocolate covered pretzels. We've been experimenting with different toppings and these were today's creations; milk choclate with butterscotch, cookies & cream crunch, dark chocolate coconut, double dipped milk & white and candy sprinkles.

I can't wait to create a holiday basket filled with these delights! Stay tuned!

Bellisimo + Mrs Fields Cookies = The Perfect Gift!

Bellisimo is one of the chosen few to have been elected as an E-Commerce Partner with the fabulous Mrs Fields!




Compliments of Mrs Fields we are delighted to share one of their secret recipes!!!

Peanut Butter Candy Cookies

1 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 heaping tablespoons peanut butter
2 1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
2 tablespoons milk or cream
1 cup chocolate chips
1 1/2 pounds peanut butter candies (such as Reese’s Pieces)

Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a small saucepan, melt butter on low heat. In a medium bowl, sift flour, baking soda, and salt together. Set aside. Combine sugars and melted butter in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer until a thick paste forms. Add peanut butter and mix well. In a small bowl, beat eggs and then stir in vanilla and milk. Add egg mixture to sugar mixture and mix for about 60 seconds, or until well combined. Slowly add in flour mixture, followed by the chocolate chips.

Pour peanut butter candy in a separate bowl. Scoop and form generous balls of dough with your hands (the dough will be soft), and then roll each one in the candy. Place candy-coated dough balls on a prepared cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer cookies to a baking rack and allow to cool before serving.

Enjoy!
