I needed someone interested in cooking and willing to take on this task in just a few days. Lucky for me one of my co-workers was actually looking for some new recipes to try.
I handed over the magazine to Adrienne with instructions to browse the contents, find something that interests you, try it out and provide some feedback. She made these spectacular looking Apple Nachos.
Thickly sliced tart apples topped with melted marshmallows, caramels and chocolate chips. This "extra sticky treat" as Adrienne describes it, was easy to make and even easier to eat.
Being the inspired cook that she is Adrienne did make a few changes to the original recipe. She added a few tablespoons of heavy cream to the melted caramels to make it a bit creamier and a few extra marshmallows. She also suggested dressing it up a bit with some chopped nuts or some raisins.
When asked what she thought of the magazine Adrienne said she thinks it's great for someone looking for basic, family oriented recipes but she would not recommend it for the more experienced cook.
Apple Nachos
Ingredients:
26 (chewy) caramels1 Tbsp. water
30-37 large marshmallows
¼ or 1/3 cub of butter
4 medium tart apples, cut into about ¼ in. slices
1/3 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt caramels with water about 1 minute; stir until smooth.
In a large saucepan on medium to medium low heat, melt marshmallows and butter. Arrange apple slices on a large platter. Drizzle caramel; top with the marshmallow mixture. Sprinkle chocolate chips.
Haha it's nice to have friends willing to do some of your dirty work for you :P Although these look so delicious that i wouldn't want to pass on the task to someone else!
