Happy Shrapnel

So your in-laws are coming over for dinner and you want to finish the evening with a lovely dessert that you can’t possibly screw up. Additionally, since you will presumably be drunk by dessert-time as a means of dealing with your mother-in-law, said dessert will really have to be idiot proof. Well, I have your answer….Bissinger’s Chocolate Lace.

Okey Dokey, here’s what you do. In advance, order a box of the Bissinger’s Chocolate lace. It is simply molasses dipped in dark chocolate. I will repeat that again folks, MOLASSES DIPPED IN DARK CHOCOLATE!….YUM!!! So anyway, buy a box online. I promise you, a box will last you a really long time so try not to get too hung up on the $25.00 price. Then at the grocery store, buy a small carton of heavy whipping cream and a bunch of lovely fruit (strawberries, blueberries, ect.)

Then, when it is dessert time, simply whip the cream with some powdered sugar with that little hand-held blender thingy, (I can’t remember what it is called,) until it is firm. Then place a dollop of home-made whipped cream on each pretty dessert plate. Add a handful of fresh fruit, preferably cut up if you have had time. Then stick a piece of the Chocolate Lace into the whip cream. If you have whipped it a sufficiently long period of time, it should be stiff enough…(wait a minute that brings something else to mind?…Can’t quite place my finger on it?…oh well, never mind.)

Anyway, thats it! It makes such a lovely, light dessert, especially perfect for hot Summer months. And it makes for a really pretty presentation. You can’t miss with this one.
