Are you currently done your Christmas shopping? I’m by no means. But, I kind of feel strange this season. Like, usually I'm able to think of a decent list with a minimum of 10 products to inquire about, however this year for whatever reason I’m drawing an empty. You wanna understand what’s on my small list? Here she blows:
-pajama pants that aren’t flannel
-lipsticks from MAC
Yeah. That’s it. And, i adore my birthday is 4 days after Christmas? Guess who’s getting nothing this season? ME! And also the weird factor about this is I’m totally comfortable with it. What's become of me?
The only real factor on my small husbands wish list is really a $500 gun. Yeah. Never gonna happen. Sorry sweet cheekbones. So why do men like guns a lot? I truly don’t comprehend it&...Classy. He would be a real champion, without a doubt.>
Anyways, that’s what's going on within my mind nowadays so far as gifts are worried. Recipes however is definitely an area that never appears to become missing. Once the lovely folks at Chicago Metallics sent us a small cheesecake pan to test, I simply about died. It is among the my new favorite pans. I Really Like small everything.
I made some small cheesecakes with Dark Semi Sweet Chocolate from Scharffen Berger and capped them served by a chocolate cane hug since they're cute and festive. Plus chocolates + peppermint = truluv4ever. Other people hoarding the vacation Hershey kisses? The chocolate cane and mint truffle ones are extremely addictive! I might have eaten 3 bags myself.
Maybe I ought to ask Santa for any gym membership for Christmas.
Moral from the story: enter this contest to win this cheesecake pan from Chicago Metallics so that you can make these ’cause you’re gonna wish to. Chocolates + cheesecake + oreo crust + butter + chocolate cane kisses= enough stated.
Here’s what entered them:
Begin by grinding some oreos lower inside a mixer. Include your melted butter and voila! Instant crust.
Surprisingly, that’s all for that filling- 4 ingredients. You can then add vanilla. I selected to not for whatever reason. Really, I most likely didn't remember. No biggie.
Spoon the filling in to the pans over the surface of the crusts and bake until they're set. Allow them to arrived at 70 degrees before pulling them out. After you have them from their pans, refrigerate until prepared to serve.
When you are prepared to eat these little guys up, take them off in the fridge and plant a chocolate cane hug right in the center of each one of these. Aren’t they so cute? We admired these little guys and hopefully you do too!

My birthday is five days after Christmas. My daughter’s 12 months birthday was December 14th. You know what I’m getting too? Most likely nothing. I requested to have an iPad but we all know that ain’t happenin. Otherwise, I needed footie pajamas and also to lay during sex having a plate of food as you're watching Wheel of Fortune. Personally i think this really is fair.
