can you make the 2 ingredient fudge with....other flavors of chips? for instance instead of chocolate chips, can you make it with peanut butter ones? or white chocolate chips?

Fudge VariationsI tried using different frosting flavors and different chocolate chips and it's realy pretty versatile. I haven't ever had a problem with milk choc chips, maybe it was the brand. At a recent show I did Andes mint chips and chocolate fudge frosting and it ws so yummy!! Peanut butter chips and chocolate frosting or white chocolate chips and chocolate frosting but don't mix it completely so it looks swirly. Lots of options... Be adventurous

I LOVE my EAD! It is honestly one of my favorite products! I've heard somewhere that it "brings out your inner Martha"! It adds a nice touch to any recipe. With all the ideas though, I still love using it for good ole cupcakes! A friend of mine ordered a "cupcake cake" from Wal-Mart - where all the cupcakes are set next to each other and form a shape of some sort and they ice it to make it look like it is a big cake - in other words it's like a big pull apart cake with EASY clean up! My daughter's 2nd birthday is in October and I think I may try that out. I'll let you know if it works

Brings out the Inner Martha! Hee hee! It did for ME! I was shreiking in my kitchen! I made little brownie cups for the 1st time (LOVE my mini-muffin pan with tart shaper!) and filled the EAD with 2-step fudege and filled those brownie cups with fudge! TO DIE FOR!

Yum!

Other ideas: garlic butter or individual butter. Fudge into mini muffin papers... put right on the chillzanne frozen part, they firm right up before your guests eyes!

I use my EAD all the time !! I just became a consultant, and at my practice show with my family, I used it to put whip creme on the cookies & creme supreme, and had my m-i-l do it too, she loves it so much, she is buying it!!! I also use it to fill canniloni shells, and canoli, so much easier than spoons!!!

I plan on using it at every show, just to decorate the dessert I will have prepared ahead. It sells itself. I also plan on having one of the guests use it during the show, because it will show how easy it is to use, even someone who has never used it before can just pick it up, and it works. I think I will be selling alot of the !!!!!

Will you please share those recipes with us???

I LOVE my EAD!! I use it as a topper item.

I will make one recipe for the show and I bake a brownie pizza when I first arrive. The house smells great and its not something I have to lug around. I bring it out from the kitchen, spread some pie filling and then use the EAD filled with Cool Whip. When I do this I ALWAYS sell three or more!

What kind of pie filling? Do you use just cool whip?

Just melt one bag of chocolate chips and mix in one container of chocolate frosting. I find that the fudge can set up a little too fast, so after I mix the frosting in, I heat the mixture for about 20 seconds before I add it to the EAD. Makes adorable little fudge kisses!

Is there a combo that doesn't still taste like frosting? I love it, but love that frosting in a tub ~ but find the "fudge" tastes like frosting?

..other flavors of chips? for instance instead of chocolate chips, can you make it with peanut butter ones? or white chocolate chips?

I found the white chocolate chips didn't melt well (rather didn't firm up quickly enough)... was it just me?

Butter Mints in EAD?I thought about making these butter mints for my parties (bring it already mixed and press them out at the show, then chill until after the recipe's eaten.. or bring them completely done and just talk about the cookie press/EAD).. but was wondering if I could use this recipe in the EAD.. little rosette butter mints--how cute right?! Has anyone made this recipe before?

COOKIE PRESS BUTTER MINTS

½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
3 ¾ cup confectioner sugar
1 Tablespoon heavy cream
¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
Green or red food coloring


Beat butter in bowl until creamy, about 2 minutes. Gradually beat in the sugar until well blended. Add the heavy cream, extract and coloring; beat until well mixed.

Transfer batter into cookie press with the wreath disc. Press shapes onto parchment paper. Chill

Suggestions: Make green and red batch and mix in bowl for Christmas. Use pastel colors around Easter time, green for St. Patrick’s Day, etc…

Note: They taste better and break apart better with they are chilled.

I've yet to do my first show but I thought about taking the refrigerator rolled cookie dough, cut in quarters lengthwise and pressed into the mini muffin pan and bake. Take canned chocolate frosting or even the fudge and make chocolate stars on top of the cookies! Sound good?
