Guest guest Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Any chocolate lovers in the group? How about Raisinettes, remember those? If you love raisins and chocolate like I do, make your own. I just melt one pkg.(11.05 oz) milk chocolate chips in a double boiler and when completely melted add apx.3 cups of seedless raisins. I buy organic seedless raisins but have to admit I use regular chocolate chips, white chips, peanutbutter,or butterscotch chips..You can buy all natural peanut butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Never tried the Carob chips but I will. Turn the melted chips and raisins out on a non-stick surface and allow to cool,set/harden.Break into desired pieces and you have a lucious candy treat. Much less expensive than store bought candy and less additives. The carob ones would be great for the Vegans among us.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 That's a nice thought, Deanna, about the carob chips, but I can't STAND carob. So I will just make my chocolate chip cookies sparingly, and wait and wish for a soymilk chocolate bar/chips to come out... Thanks for the idea. I used to make those for my daughter when she was little. We'd eat those and popcorn and watch movies on Friday night with her friends. It was so much more fun than " goin' to the show " (as we referred to going to the movies back when our town was smaller...). :>) Bron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm having trouble finding many online to show you though. Here's one... http://www.veganessentials.com/catalog/choco-soy-soymilk-chocolate- bites.htm There's a rice milk bar by Terra Nostra (Our Earth) and I found a rice milk chocolate bar at Trader Joe's (store brand, I think) I'll keep my eyes open for ya. A girl's gotta have her chocolate! Shelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Thanks, Shelly, for the encouragement. :>) I'll check out that link. I have seen 'soymilk chocolate bites' at Pangea.com but they were terribly expensive, just a few little foil wrapped balls...not near enough to make my killer chocolate chip cookie recipe. I wish, wish there was a Trader Joe's here but no such luck. I haven't made chocolate chip cookies since going vegan and I'm about ready to chuck the vegan for some very good cookies . :>) As you say, a girl's gotta have her chocolate and I haven't in quite some time now!
