Cookies!

Yummy, COOKIES! Do you know Who made the Chocolate Chip Cookies? Well, Ruth Wakefield Invented These sweet cookies. Now I think you are Wondering How These cookies were "Invented" well Wait and see.


You see, Ruth owned a Inn. She prepared the recipes for the meals served to the guests at the Inn and gained local notoriety (NOT-ORIE-TY) for her deserts.One of her favorite recipes was for Butter Drop Do cookies. The recipe called for the use of baker's chocolate and one day Ruth found herself without the needed ingredient. She substituted a semi-sweet chocolate bar cut up into bits. However, unlike the baker's chocolate the chopped up chocolate bar did not melt completely, the small pieces only softened.As it so happened the chocolate bar had been a gift from Andrew Nestle of the Nestle Chocolate Company. As the Inn's chocolate chip cookie recipe became popular, sales of Nestle's semi-sweet chocolate bar increased. Andrew Nestle and Ruth Wakefield struck a deal. Nestle would print the Inn's Cookie recipe on its packaging and Ruth Wakefield would have a lifetime supply of Nestle chocolate.

How to make ice cream!

Yummy, Ice cream the Delicious Cold treat that every one enjoys! Well today I am going to give you a recipe so you do not have to run down to the store EVERY single time you want ice cream!

What you need:
rock salt
About two quarts of ice
1/2 cup of milk
1 tablespoon of sugar
1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract, chocolate syrup, or cocoa powder

What you do:
Mix sugar, milk or half & half, and flavoring in a bowl, then seal it in a quart-sized plastic bag.Take roughly two quarts of ice and place it into the gallon-sized bag with rock salt. Ideally, the gallon bag will be roughly half full with the ice and salt mixture.Place the sealed quart-sized bag with the ingredients into the gallon-sized bag. Make sure the bags stay sealed! Do not allow the contents to mix at any time. If the bags don't seal sufficiently, use duct tape to seal the top of both bags to ensure they don't open during shaking.Gently agitate, massage, and shake the bags for about ten to fifteen minutes. In this amount of time the contents of the quart (smaller) bag should start to turn into solid ice cream.As you agitate the two bags, it is important that you are mixing the contents of the inner bag, but you don’t want to be so aggressive that you burst the inner bag or cut it on the ice (double-bagging should prevent this).If your hands get uncomfortably cold, use a towel or an old t-shirt to hold the bags as you massage them; they will be quite cold and might become slippery with accumulated condensation. Consider using gloves or massaging while holding onto the top seal if a towel or similar cloth is not available.

Then once you are done enjoy!!!

There you go how to make ice cream!

S'mores

Yes S'mores, the camp fire treat that everyone enjoys! The best chocolate to use with these s'mores is Jershey Chocolate, not Hershey Chocolate, Jershey Chocolate!If you're not familiar with s'mores, they are made by sandwiching a toasted marshmallow and a piece of chocolate in between two graham crackers. Did you know that this treat came from the words "Some more", that makes sense because after a person has eaten one s'more they want another one! S'mores were invented by a group of campers in the early 20th Century. The true origin of the snack is unknown, as camping recipes tended to be passed from person to person and family to family - often over the campfire itself. The first recipe for s'mores was published in 1927 in the Girl Scout Handbook! The marshmallow is sticky and sweet, the chocolate is smooth, and the graham cracker is crisp and crumbly, acting almost like a pie crust to contain the filling. That why everyone LOVES s'mores. So tune in next week for more information on a Sweet!

Yummy, Gummy bears. How were the Gummy bears made you ask? Well, that is a good question, I am going to answer that today for you...

Gummy bears were made by Hans Riegel.It was the very first Gummy ever invented in 1920!
Riegel was an owner of a German Candy company called Haribo. Haribo went on to manufacture the first American made Gummy candy in 1982.
In 1981, another German gummy candy manufacturer called Trolli decided to made the first gummy worm. Now we all heard of Gummy worms right? Gummy worms have become the most popular, gummy candy ever made, even more than Gummy bears!

So there you go how Gummy bears were made. Comment on witch Gummy you like better ;
