Rich Chocolate Truffle Pie

This recipe is from allrecipes.com. Holy wow. Unbelievably rich and chocolatey. I served it with fresh whipped cream. Easy and so good.

Ingredients:

• 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
• 1 tbsp vanilla
• 1 (9 inch) chocolate cookie crumb crust

Directions:

1. In microwave safe dish, combine chocolate chips and 1/2 of the heavy cream. Microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Cool to room temperature. (edit: Stir in sugar & vanilla. Set aside.)
2. In small bowl, beat the rest of the cream until soft peaks form. Beat in chocolate mixture on high speed 1/3 at a time until thoroughly incorporated. Pour into crust.
3. Refrigerate at least 8 hours before serving.

Andes mints Brownies

Ingredients:

• 1 cup butter
• 2 cups sugar (white)
• 4 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• ½ cup cocoa
• ½ teaspoon salt
• about 1/4 cup (or however much you please, really) of chopped Andes mints
• An additional package of whole Andes mints

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 9 x 13 pan. Melt butter in saucepan over low heat. Once melted remove from heat and add sugar, vanilla, and eggs. Blend together. In separate bowl, mix together flour, cocoa, and salt. Add dry mixture to the wet and mix well. Add chopped Andes mints. Pour into greased pan and bake for 35-40 minutes.

RIGHT when the brownies come out of the oven, layer the top with the whole package of Andes mints (or however many it takes to cover the surface). Let them stand for a minute or two, until they are smooth enough to spread. Using a frosting spatula or a flat knife, spread the melted Andes mints evenly over the brownie to cover. Cool, cut and enjoy.

**OMGosh these things are freaking amazing! Seriously make them now! What I did differently is I used the andes mints from the cookie aisle next to the chocolate chips. I used about 1/2 a bag in the brownies and then used the other half to melt on top. I did it this way so the chocolate layer wasn't as think :) They looked pretty and taste amazing!**

ONE BOWL Million Dollar Fudge

What You Need

REMOVE from heat. Gradually add chocolate chunks, stirring until chocolate is completely melted after each addition. Add remaining ingredients; mix well.

POUR into 15x10x1-inch pan sprayed with cooking spray. Cool completely.

**I like this recipe cause its super easy and yummy. I never add nuts though cause I'm not a fan of them in my fudge. I also use a slightly smaller pan but it just means my fudge is a little thicker. I will def be making this again sometime in the future. Prob around the holidays :)**
