Easy Homemade Chocolate Recipes

!±8± Easy Homemade Chocolate Recipes

If you would like to make some chocolate treats then there are lots of different ways of doing this.

The simplest chocolate cakes don't even require the oven to be switched on. You will need to melt some chocolate though. Do this in a bowl over a pan of bubbling hot water. Use a couple of hundred grams of chocolate chips, or a large bar. You will also need a spoonful of golden syrup stirred in to the melted chocolate and a large volume of either cornflakes or crispy rice cereal. Melt chocolate, add syrup, take off heat. Pour in the cereal and stir until well covered. If you don't put enough cereal in then there's a higher chocolate ratio which some people like. The general rule is you keep adding cereal until you have no melted chocolate at the bottom of the bowl. Put the mixture in to cup cake cases and leave to set. Children can help you mix in the cereal and ladle out the mixture.

Add chocolate chips to any cup cake recipe. You can add them to biscuit mixes too. Any recipe almost can be made more interesting with the addition of chocolate. You can buy special cooking chocolate for this or use bars of normal chocolate. Cooking chocolate is in small chips which makes it easier to melt. It's also available in white, dark as well as milk.

You can also add chocolate chips to ice cream for an extra treat! Or use it to melt and mix with butter or cream to make an icing for the tops of cakes. This is delicious and stays sort or hard according to the recipe you use. You can easily get a good finish with a little practice at pouring!

Luau Recipes

!±8± Luau Recipes

Luau food has its origins in traditional Hawaiian culture. These are some food and drink recipes you could try at home for your Luau.

Pork with rice is a classic Luau dish. For the traditional Hawaiian, cooking preparations start early in the morning on the day of the Luau. Large wooden logs are placed in a pit dug in sand and covered with river rocks. The logs are set on fire, and the pig, along with sweet potatoes, is placed on top of the heated rocks and banana leaves. The pit is covered with sand for around 8 hours. It takes that long for the Kalua pig to be ready.

Other traditional foods at a Luau are poi, chicken long rice, lomi salmon, haupia or coconut custard, sweet potato, salad, fish, rice and tasty tropical drinks like pineapple daiquiris, mai tais, piña coladas or chi chis with fresh fruit garnishes and tiny umbrellas. You can add alcohol to these drinks to enliven the mood of the party. The serving table is usually decorated with leafy greens, fruit and vegetables.
