Hans Dokl, the Executive Chief of Wetherby's in Coralville, shared these two chocolate ideas with us at the National Kidney Foundation 's Chocolate Fest. For variety, Hans says to use white chocolate if you prefer.
TURTLES (SHUTTERBUGS)
1½ cups unsalted butter
3½ cups brown sugar
1½ cups light corn syrup
21 oz. sweetened condensed milk
2 tsp. vanilla
2 lbs. pecan or walnut halves
½ lb. chocolate
Melt butter. Add sugar, then corn syrup. Add condensed milk, stirring over medium heat. When boiling, reduce heat, stirring constantly, until it coats the spoon. Remove from heat and fold in vanilla. Spread pecan or walnut halves on buttered baking sheet. With a teaspoon, drop caramel onto pecan or walnut halves as close as possible. When caramel has set, remove turtles onto a cooling rack. Melt chocolate until lukewarm. Coat caramel with chocolate.
CHOCOLATE-DIPPED FRUITS, NUTS AND PRETZELS
Use either 1 lb. bittersweet (preferably imported) or plain semi sweet chocolate melted over hot, not boiling, water. (Always melt chocolate by this method and never over direct heat. Overheating makes chocolate lose its glossy smoothness, becoming gritty and dull.) Try dipping various fruits, such as strawberries, bananas, kiwi, cherries, pineapple or orange segments. All of them make stunning garnishes or desserts.
Dip fruits into the melted chocolate so the coating is halfway up the fruit. Allow the excess chocolate to drip off, then leave to set on foil lined trays.
For chocolate dipped nuts insert cocktail stick (toothpick) into each nut. Dip the nut into the melted chocolate, then push the cocktail stick into half an orange or grapefruit to allow the chocolate to set evenly.
For chocolate dipped pretzels, coat whole pretzel with chocolate. Allow the excess chocolate to drip off, then set on cooling racks.
BRAZZIOLE
Tenderize one thinly cut steak. Cut diagonally into 1" x 2" strips. Before separating, sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese, Italian bread crumbs and garlic salt. Tightly roll up each strip, securing with a toothpick. Place on top of boiling spaghetti sauce. Cook 10 minutes.
BLOOMIN' ONION
1 large sweet onion
2 tbsps. flour
½ tsp. salt
1 large beaten egg
1 cup crushed saltines
Peel onion, leaving root intact. Cut onion vertically into fourths, up to ½" of root. Cut fourths into thirds. Place onion in boiling water for 5 minutes. Remove and place in ice water for five minutes. Loosen petals and drain upside down. Put flour and salt in plastic bag. Place onion in a bag and shake to coat. Dip onion in egg and cracker crumbs. Freeze 30 minutes, then refrigerate 30 minutes. Fry 5-7 minutes in 3" of hot oil (375°).
ARTICHOKE & SPINACH CASSEROLE
2 cans artichoke hearts
2 pkgs. frozen spinach
2 (8 oz.) pkgs. softened cream
