Hey, I'm doing a Chocolate Chocolate show later this month and need some ideas on cheap and easy recipes for the show. I pretty much only have the starter kit, large professional skillet, stoneware bar pan, and deep dish baker. I was thinking of doing a skillet cake so that would use the skillet, but I don't want the host to spend a whole lot more on the ingredients... Anyone have any ideas? -Amy
I totally recommend the Turtle Fudge Skillet Cake. It is SO GOOD!! The ingredients are cheap and you don't have to use the nuts. Let us know what you decide!
The Molten Chocolate Skillet Brownie is awesome too. I've been doing this a lot lately. The bake time is kind of long (35-40 minutes and I find I at least go 40 minutes), but it's good when it's a large group and you do a 2nd recipe. Tonight I did the brownie and during the bake time, I demo'd stuff with a potato, did a quick cookware blurb where I also passed around a saucepan with a couple ice cubes to show how well it conducts heat (cold in this case), talked about stoneware and played my ticket game w/recruiting questions. Tomorrow night I"m making the brownie too, but I'm going to put it in the oven when I first get there and do a ring during the demo. This is a HUGE hit with chocolate lovers because it's so gooey and rich.
Thanks for the suggestions! I've made the turtle fudge skillet cake before and liked it a lot! But the host was at the show that I made that cake for so I wanted to try a different skillet cake. I found some recipes on this site that I might try. Don't I need the double strength vanilla for the Molten Chocolate Skillet Brownie? I guess I'm mostly worried about demonstrating enough products. But I like the idea of just bringing some other foods just to demonstrate on. I guess I don't know how many people will be at the show yet, so we'll see. Still open to more suggestions!
