You lost me on the maple. Unlike many I am not a fan of maple flavoured anything. Dunno why. Just never cared for it. Except maple-smoked and
that's a different flavour profile.

And I'm more of a pie guy than a cake eater. But, I do make pretty good
cakes.

Here's one of my favourite (and easy) cakes to make, I sometimes use a

How do you feel about sizzling chocolate pies?


MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

Title: Chili's Chocolate Chip Paradise Pie
Categories: Chocolate, Copycat, Pies
Yield: 1 Pie

MMMMM------------------------COOKIE LAYER-----------------------------
1 c All-purpose flour
1/2 ts Baking soda
1/4 ts Baking powder
1/2 c Butter; softened
1/3 c Granulated sugar
1 Egg
1 tb Milk
1/2 ts Vanilla extract
1/2 c Shredded coconut

MMMMM------------------------CRUST LAYER-----------------------------
6 tb Butter
1/4 c Sugar
1 1/2 c Graham cracker crumbs
1 1/4 c Semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 c Walnuts; chopped

MMMMM----------------------CINNAMON BUTTER---------------------------
1/2 c Butter; softened
3 tb Granulated sugar
1 1/2 ts Cinnamon

MMMMM--------------------------TO SERVE-------------------------------
9 Scoops vanilla ice cream
Chocolate syrup
Caramel syrup
6 tb Walnuts; chopped

What makes this dessert so special is the way it comes to your table
sizzling in a cast iron skillet. just like fajitas. The chocolate chip
cookie and graham cracker crust "pie" is topped with a scoop of
vanilla ice cream, and then drizzled with chocolate and caramel
syrup. It's all served up in a hot skillet of cinnamon butter. Yum!
If you want to prepare this one just like they do at the restaurant,
you'll need one of those skillets for each serving. Small iron
skillets work the best, but any 6 or 8" frying pan will do fine. You
just have to be sure your pan is super hot to get that authentic
Chili's "sizzle." If you don't have enough of the right pans for each
serving, you can slide it all onto a plate. It may not have the
sizzle of the real thing, but it'll still taste awesome!

Preheat the oven to 325?F.

Combine the flour, baking soda, and baking powder in a medium bowl.

In a separate large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar with an
electric mixer. Continue beating for about 30 seconds or until mixture
turns lighter in color. Add the egg, milk, and vanilla and beat until
smooth.

Slowly mix the dry mixture into the wet mixture. Beat until
well-combined and then mix in the coconut flakes. Set this cookie
dough aside for now.

Melt 6 tb butter in a medium bowl in the microwave on high
temperature for about 30 seconds. Add the sugar and stir well for 30
seconds. Add the graham cracker crumbs and stir. Press this mixture
into the bottom of a 9x9" baking dish or pan.

Sprinkle the cup of chocolate chips evenly over the graham cracker
crust.

Press the cookie dough into the dish, covering the chocolate chips.
Use flour on your fingers to keep the soft dough from sticking.

Sprinkle the chopped walnuts over the dough. Use your fingers to
press the nuts into the dough.

Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the edges of the pie become light
brown.

Prepare the cinnamon butter by creaming together the butter, sugar,
and cinnamon in a small bowl with an electric mixer on high speed.

When you are ready to make your dessert, heat up a small skillet over
medium heat. When the skillet is hot, remove it from the heat then add
about 1 tb of the cinnamon butter to the pan. It should quickly melt
and sizzle. Slice the pie into 9 pieces and place one into the hot
skillet. If the pie has cooled, you can reheat each slice by zapping
it in the microwave for 30 to 40 seconds.

Place a scoop of ice cream on top of the pie. Drizzle chocolate and
caramel syrup over the dessert and then sprinkle about 2 ts of
chopped walnuts over the top. Repeat for the remaining ingredients
and serve sizzling in the skillet.

Two can play that game. Here's a rattlesnake recipe. When my cousin was
a kid, his teacher asked the students to bring family stories about
surviving the great depression. My grandfather told him about cooking
and eating skunks and rattlesnakes in Kansas. The teacher didn't believe
my cousin and thought my grandfather had told tall tales. Perhaps the teacher's family had a milder time surviving the great depression on the
Oregon coast.

Title: Crispy Rattlesnake Coils
Categories: Appetizers, Game
Yield: 10 Servings

1 Rattlesnake; cut in strips
Flour
Salt & pepper
Crisco

Cut rattlesnake into 8" strips about 1/4" thick. Salt and pepper
lightly. Put flour into a container that can be covered. Add
strips. Shake. Refrigerate for about 2 hours. This will allow the
flour to become sticky and while the Crisco is heating in a deep
fryer, pull the pieces apart and re-flour the pieces again. Add
flour if necessary. When the Crisco shortening is hot, add only
enough snake strips so that all pieces are covered by the hot
grease. Fry until golden brown. Dump into a container that has been
prewarmed in the oven. Continue frying the rest of the rattlesnake
strips.

Serving:

Use a basket lined with a cloth napkin. Add the fried, coiled snake
pieces. Cover with the napkin.

Notes:

The fried rattlesnake strips will appear to be coiled!

We agree--back in 2000, while we were in AZ Steve had jaw surgery. It
wasn't wired shut but somehow held together so he was on a liquids diet
thru a straw. One night I nuked a pizza hot pocket for myself for a
snack. It smelled so good to Steve that he nuked one, put it in the
blender with some tomato sauce, herbs and I don't remember if anything
else. It wasn't the greatest, but it satisfied his craving. (G)
