Chocolate Cheesecake.

Ingredients:
3 TBS butter or margarine, melted
1 package graham cracker crumbs
1 TBS granulated sugar
1 C milk, scalded (2.5 min in microwave)
12 oz chocolate chips, 2 C
8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
1 t vanilla

Step 1:
Combine first three ingredients and pour into a spring-form pan. Using a paper towel, evenly spread the ingredients to form the crust. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Step 2:
In a blender combine the remaining ingredients. Depending on the pan, double the recipe. Mixture should be creamy and easily pourable. (is that a word?) Add the mixture to the refrigerated crust. If you double the filling, make sure to pour the first batch in, (unless you have a large blender).

Step 3:
Wait. You can eat the cheesecake anywhere from 4-8 hours, depending on your refrigerator temperature. I usually make this the night before or in the morning so it's ready for dinner. Cheesecake is done when you can see popped bubbles.

Step 4:
Enjoy!!




Pretzel Bites.

Ingredients:
Bag of Pretzel's, not sticks
Bag of Hershey's kisses
Bag of m&ms

Step 1:
Set oven to 350
Place parchment paper on baking sheet and line with pretzels
Unwrap kisses, one kiss per pretzel
Step 2: 
Place in oven for 3 min max!! (this definitely depends on your oven but you want the kisses to be glossy, not burnt)

Step 3: 
Remove from oven and place an m&m on each kiss/pretzel combo
Step 4:
Enjoy and eat them all by yourself cause they're delicious!
Also it's fun to make up your own combos of chocolate.
