Chocolate Non-Cake Cranberry Baker Recipe?

[OhmyDLM]

Hi everyone,

I'm doing a show tomorrow with a "Death By Chocolate" theme. We are doing the "Killer Chocolate Cake" reipe I found on this site in the microwave. However, I wanted to demo something in the new Cranberry Baker as well. I don't want to do another cake. Can anyone think of something creative I could do? Also do you have any fun tips for a chocolate theme show, any show stoppers? Thanks for your input

You've got me stumped - all I make in my larger stoneware is usually lasagna...then that got me thinking you could do chocolate lasagna, but that is WAY to long/hard for show...

...think, think, think... (to quote Pooh Bear)

I would at least pick up a bag of Dove or Nestle Truffles and display them in your Simple Additions and show them off...

I can't take the credit for this, but this game is really cute...

I just found this recipe, if it's doubled do you think it would work in the baker? It originally cales for the Mini-Baking bowl but that must be before my time because I don't know what it is or how big it is. This recipe sounds easy and won't take up a lot of show time... any thoughts?

EASY CHOCOLATE FONDUE

Darcy, I don't think you can have your website on your signature. I think most people on here just use /darcymadden and people know....

Good luck today - hope you got enough together that it is a big hit!!!!

Show off those micro cookers for melting chocolate without a big mess!

I'm almost positive that I saw a Chocolate Bread Pudding recipe in our newest
Cooking for Two recipe book. That could be done in our new Deep Covered Baker. I've also seen something like that in maybe a Cooking Light or Cook's Country magazine. I cannot put my hands on any of them at the moment.

Well, my show went really well today and thankyou all for your recipe idea and chocolate tips. I made the "Killer Chocolate Cake" in the Fluted Pan and it was amazing! I sold so many Fluted pans because of it.

I also decided to go with a chocolate drink and made "Frosty Chocolate Lattes" which is a another recipe I found on this site.

I shared the tip about making your own chocolate bowls, played some chocolate trivia, and the candy bar game. I had great results, almost every single guests (About 8) ordered stoneware of some sorts, sales right now are around $500 and I've given her a goal to collect outside orders.

I have 12 cooking shows on the book for February, two with $1000 show past hosts. I figured, if I can get all of my 12 shows to at least the $500 show level, I will be in great shape for double incentive points!!!!!!!!

Thanks again for all your help and suggestions I love this site!

Way to go Darcy!
