Fudge Popsicles 

Special Supplies:

*Popsicle Molds.  I think Silicon molds are the easiest to work with but you can use any kind you like.

Ingredients:

*1/4 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

*1 bar 4 ounces Bakers Chocolate, cut into small chunks 

*1 can 13.5 ounces full Fat Coconut Milk

*2 tablespoons Cacao Powder

*1/4 cup Pure Maple Syrup

*1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions:

Using a melting pot like Wilton’s Melting Pot or use a double boiler.  Melt chocolate.  Then add cacao powder to the coconut milk and stir until incorporated and then add to chocolate mixture and stir, add maple syrup, vanilla and stir until creamy.  Then fill popsicle molds, add popsicle sticks and freeze overnight.

Remove molds from freezer, remove immediately from molds if in silicone molds and eat right away or store put in cellophane bags or fold sandwich bags.  Tie with ribbon or twist tie or pipe cleaner and store wrapped individual popsicles in gallon sized Ziploc bag in the freezer.  

If using hard molds remove from freezer and allow to run under warm water a few seconds one frozen mold at a time, repeat as needed until you can remove popsicle.  Enjoy right away or store popsicles in the freezer.  

Note:  It is a tricky step removing popsicles from hard molds.

Magic Carpet Cake

Ingredients/Supplies:

*Rectangular Cake Pan 9×13 inches, with sharp corners

*Offset Spatula or similar

*Wilton Gold Confetti, for decorating

*Gold Lamp, I purchased this one from Zurcher’s Party Store

*Cake Platter

*2 boxes 1 pound 2.3 ounces Brownie Mix, make according to directions on package and allow to cool completely before frosting

*1 to 2 Containers Betty Crocker Cream Cheese Frosting or Vanilla Frosting, divide the icing into bowls. Use half the container for the violet, one-fourth container for the pink and one-fourth container for the copper (Note: I only needed 1 container)

*Food Paste Coloring Wilton; Rose, Violet and Copper, add a few drops at a time when mixing in icing until desired color, repeat for each color

*Use 3 Decorating Icing bags and snip off a small bit of the tip, repeat for each one (Note: I used 3 Zip-loc quart bags and cut off bottom corner tip of the bags, but if you want a more precise look use the decorating bags.

*I used the Brownie Box and cut the front of the box off, as straight as I could and placed it in the middle of the baked brownie/cake, for a guide to keep the Voilet frosting contained while I frosted the violet part of the carpet.

Decorate as desired.
