Categories     dessert

Time 5h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Vegetable oil cooking spray
6 small apples, washed and dried, stems removed *see Cook's Note
2 (9.5-ounce) bags soft caramel candies, unwrapped (recommended: Kraft Classic Caramels)
1/4 cup pulp-free orange juice
1 (4-ounce) bar 53 percent cocoa dark chocolate, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces (recommended: Nestle Chocolatier)
Assorted small candies, chopped nuts and sprinkles

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray it with vegetable oil cooking spray. Insert the craft sticks halfway into the stem-ends of the apples.
  • In a medium, heavy saucepan, over low heat, combine the caramel candies and orange juice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the candies have melted and the mixture is smooth, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool for 2 minutes. Dip the apples in the caramel until coated and put them on the parchment paper until firm, about 2 hours.
  • Put the chocolate in a medium bowl and set it over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir until the chocolate is smooth and melted. Using a fork, drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel. Put the apples back on the parchment paper for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with small candies, chopped nuts or sprinkles and allow the chocolate to harden, at room temperature, for about 3 to 4 hours.

BLACK BEAN AND CHOCOLATE CHILI



Black Bean and Chocolate Chili image

I know the title seems somewhat bizarre, but the slight "hint" of semi-sweet chocolate gives this vegetarian chili a real depth of flavor. It reminds me somewhat of a sweet, yet spicy mole sauce. This recipe was adapted from one I found in the "Moosewood Restaurant Celebrates" cookbook.

Categories     Black Beans

Time 35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups chopped onions
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 stalk celery, sliced
1 -2 jalapeno chile, minced
1 tablespoon cumin
2 teaspoons oregano
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste
1 1/2 cups chopped bell peppers (red and green are nice)
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (optional)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 1/2 ounces semisweet chocolate (about 1/4 cup)
tofu sour cream or scallion, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and sauté until onions become soft and translucent, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the celery and chile, cover and cook for another five minutes more.
  • Reduce the heat and stir in spices, (cumin, oregano, cinnamon, cloves, coriander, chili powder, black pepper, salt) along with the bell peppers. Cover again and cook for another five minutes. Stir often to keep the spices from burning. If the pan gets too dry add a little liquid from the diced tomatoes, or some water.
  • Next, add the black beans, tomatoes, lime juice (if using) and soy sauce. Let the chili simmer on low for 5 to 10 minutes, until it thickens slightly and flavors combine.
  • Stir in the chocolate. When chocolate has melted, taste to adjust the salt and pepper. Serve with topping of your choice. I like a bit of vegan cheese, sour "cream" and scallions.
  • Chili can also makes a great filling to serve wrapped in flour tortillas, or in taco shells if you prefer.
