Hotel Chocolate Chip Cookies - Recipes
| Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipes - Top Secret Free Restaurant Recipes Free Recipes - When you check in at one of Top Secret Restaurant Recipes of 240 hotels run by U.S. chain, you are handed a bag from a warming oven that contains two soft and delicious chocolate chip cookies. Recipes that is a tradition that began in the early 90s using a recipe from a small bakery in Atlanta. All of the cookies - which weigh in at an impressive two ounces each - are baked fresh every day on the hotel premises. Raves for the cookies from customers convinced the hotel chain to start selling the chocolaty munchables by the half-dozen. But if you've got an insatiable chocolate chip cookie urge that can't wait for a package to be delivered in the mail, you'll want to try this cloned version fresh out of your home oven. Just be sure to get the cookies out of there when they are turning light brown. This way they'll stay soft in the middle when cool. For even better results, you can chill the dough overnight before you commence with the ceremonial baking.

Dolly Madison Recipes
| Dolly Madison - Top Secret Free Restaurant Recipes Former U.S. President James Madison's wife did not create this baking company, despite the fact that her name is on every carrot cake, crumb cake, and Zinger that comes off the production line. It was instead company founder Roy Nafziger's brainstorm to use the former first lady's name, Secret Restaurant Recipes since she was notorious for throwing huge shindigs featuring a fine selection of desserts and baked goods. Nafziger said his company would create cakes "fine enough to serve at the White House." While I don't expect you'll be treated to a tray of Zingers on your next stay in the Lincoln Bedroom, I will agree that these little snack cakes are a tasty way to appease a sweet tooth. Secret Recipes You can craft a version at home by making little cake pans out of aluminum foil that is wrapped around an empty prescription pill bottle. The cake batter is easy, since you just use any instant devil's food cake mix. I like Duncan Hines, but you can use whatever you want. As for the frosting, it may not come out as dark brown as the original since the recipe here doesn't include brown food coloring (caramel coloring). But the taste will be right on. And I think President Clinton would agree that as long as the sweet little treats taste good, appearance is secondary free restaurants recipes Free Restaurants Recipes Cake Duncan Hines devil's food cake mix 1 1/3 cups water 1/2 cup oil 3 large eggs Filling 2 teaspoons hot water 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 cups marshmallow creme (one 7-ounce jar) 1/2 cup shortening 1/3 cup powdered sugar 1/2 teaspoon vanilla Frosting 1 cup powdered sugar 1/4 cup Hershey's chocolate syrup 2 tablespoons shortening 1/2 teaspoon vanilla dash salt Tear off a bunch of foil pieces about this size. These will be your mini cake pans after folding two times and wrapping around a pill bottle. Empty prescription medicine bottles are actually good for something. Use a toothpick or skewer to dig three caverns in the cakes where the filling will live. Later you will cleverly hide these holes with frosting. 1. Prepare the cake batter following the directions on the box. If you use Duncan Hines brand, you will need 1 1/3 cups of water, 1/2 cup of oil, and three eggs. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 2. To prepare the cake pans that will make cakes the size of Zingers, tear off 20 pieces of aluminum foil that are each about 8 inches wide. Fold the foil in half and then in half once more so that you have a rectangular piece of foil. Wrap this piece of foil around a small prescription medicine bottle. Tuck in the ends and take the bottle out, leaving the foil open at the top. This will form a little pan. Flatten the bottom so that the mini pan stands up straight. Place this into a baking pan and repeat with the remaining pieces of foil. When you have arranged all of the foil pans in a baking pan, spray the inside of all the pans with non-stick cooking spray. Fill each little pan about halfway with cake batter. Bake cakes for 15 to 17 minutes or until a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean. Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool completely. 3. To make the filling, combine the hot water with the salt in a small bowl and stir until the salt is dissolved. Let this mixture cool. 4. Combine the marshmallow creme, shortening, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a medium bowl and mix well with an electric mixer on high speed until fluffy. Add the salt mixture to the bowl and mix. 5. To make the chocolate frosting, combine all the frosting ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well with an electric mixer until smooth. 6. To assemble your snack cakes first poke three holes with a toothpick or skewer in the top of a cake and swirl around inside the holes making little caverns for your filling. 7. Use a pastry bag with a small tip to squeeze some filling into each hole. Careful not to overfill, or your cake will burst open. Sure, it's exciting, but this mess won't make for a good clone. 8. Once the cake is filled, use a butter knife to spread frosting on top of the cake over the holes. Drag a fork lengthwise over the frosting making grooves just like the real thing. Makes 20 snack cakes. Top Secret Restaurant Recipes Labels: Dolly Madison |
Dive Smores
| Dive!® S'mores - Top Secret Restaurant Recipes You don't need a campfire, wire hangers or long sticks to make this popular marshmallow, chocolate and graham cracker dessert. Steven Spielberg's Dive! chain of theme restaurants is the inspiration for this week's clone recipe, pulled from the third TSR book, Top Secret Restaurant Recipes (which includes other clones from the chain as well). You need only four ingredients, an oven with a broiler, and a serious sweet tooth to put together this delicious dessert previously enjoyed only camping trips and at beach parties. Secret Restaurant Recipes Free Restaurants Recipes 2 whole graham crackers (4 sections, not separated) two 1 1/2-ounce Hershey milk chocolate bars 16 large marshmallows 2 tablespoons Hershey's chocolate syrup, in squirt bottle 1. Preheat the broiler. Arrange the graham crackers side by side on an oven-safe plate (such as ceramic). You can also use a baking sheet. 2. Stack the milk chocolate bars side by side on top of the graham crackers. 3. Arrange the marshmallows on the chcocolate in 4 rows -- 4 across, 4 down. 4. Broil the dessert on the middle rack for 1 to 3 minutes or until the marshmallows turn light brown on top. 5. Remove the dessert from the oven. If you used a baking sheet, carefully slide the dessert onto a serving plate. With the squirt bottle, immediately drizzle the chocolate syrup over the marshmallows in a sweeping back-and-forth motion. Drizzle the chocolate diagonally across the dessert one way, and then the other, creating a cross-hatch pattern. Allow the chocolate to over-shoot the dessert so that it creates a decorative pattern on the serving plate as well. Serves 2-4. |
