to be fancy: Sweet Treats

Today was one of those lazy days that I decided to try something new in the kitchen. There was a recipe on the Food Network last week that has had my mouth watering ever since so today was the day for me to finally try it out. I must say the end result was deliciously fabulous.

Ingredients: 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips ; 1 tsp. vegetable/canola oil ; 8 oz. marscapone cheese ; 1 package of sugar cookie dough ; 2 Heath toffee bars ; 1/4 cup sliced almonds ; 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Start by greasing your pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray and preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
While the oven is heating up, cut up one of the candy bars and mix it in a bowl with the cookie dough and vanilla flavoring.

Place the mixture in the center of your pan and spread out using your fingers. Poke the flattened cookie with a fort for venting (so it won't grow too large when baking). When you're finished, put the cookie in the oven.

To make your chocolate mixture, you will need to simmer water on the stove with a bowl placed above it. Choose a bowl that will fit nicely inside/on top of the pan. Once the water is boiling, add your vegetable oil and chocolate chips into the bowl and stir until the blend together and there are no lumps! Let the chocolate cool for about 10 minutes before mixing in the marscapone cheese.

When your cookie is baked and has had time to cool off, you can pour the chocolate and cheese mixture on top and spread it with a spatula. the sprinkle your almonds and other candy bar to the top.
