welcome friends welcome back to the kitchen last time I was at the grocery
store chocolate was hard to come by except for all of the leftover Easter
chocolate so I bought a bunch of it thinking I could bake with it and I made
a really good milk chocolate cake that's already up on the channel and today I'm
going to make something that is around our house never had a name and it just
consists of salted peanuts deep fried chow mein noodles and chocolate and it
was something that I never remember our family making it always just showed up
in those cookie exchanges around the holidays so I'm going to start out by
melting this chocolate
you
now I only put chocolate in here but you could mix this up and do half and half
chocolate and butterscotch chips you could do peanut butter chips you could
put in peanut butter you really could do any kind of meltable coating that you
want I chose chocolate because pretty much
that's what I have and I'm trying to use what we have in the house
next in are the fried cha mein noodles and we just mix those in to coat them
with the chocolate next in I'm putting salted peanuts you could put any nut you
like in here whatever nut you have in your cupboard and we just mix that in to
coat everything together once everything is coated and you just
scoop out a little bit now I tend to make them too big so I'm gonna try and
make them a little bit smaller and that failed miserably now as these cooled
down they will set and Harden so depending on where you live you might
want to stick them in the fridge or the freezer just to get them to cool down a
little bit faster and make sure that they Harden hey Jules hello then hello
friends chocolaty treats what do you call them I
to me I don't yeah we never had a name for them it was you know those chow mein
chocolate things or the noodley chocolate things or those yeah i as a
child decided they were called cannon balls and cannons I don't know why well
I can maybe it was a trip to old Fort Henry and I had one who knows I can see
that with the peanuts and I mean it's exactly what it's supposed to be right
mm-hmm it's just comforting it's simple its crunchy its chocolatey puts a smile
on your face and I knew that a lot of people right now need a smile on your
face which may not be these but find what puts a smile on your face and make
it right of course didn't put a lot of different stuff in this mmm
you don't have to make them with these two things you could put almonds mmm or
cuz you're melting it right you're just mixing it don't melt
so with sprinkles on top you probably put M&Ms on top oh
yeah inside so yeah because they don't really melt if it's cool enough you
could reuse pretzel sticks right leave all sorts of things there's so many
options mhm have fun with it I do a little friend who always makes them with
sprinkles on top colored colored sprinkles so take this basic method take
the proportions of whatever your chocolate weight is half of that is the
noodles the chow mein noodles and then add in other components and you can add
in the peanut butter when you're melting the chocolate you can add in other types
of chips as well really yeah this is something that you can completely make
your own basically if it doesn't melt in if it melts you can put it in with the
chocolate uh-huh if it doesn't melt you can add it to the noodle yeah it's it's
that and it's just it's just that play between crunchy and salty and sweet it's
amazing thanks for stopping by stay safe stay
healthy see you again soon
you
