That sounds yummy. When we were in the states before I remember all the food being sweeter than over here - especially the bread strangely

I don't think we have morsels. Maybe it's just something I haven't come across. But I don't buy mixes at all. It's like if I make a cake or cookies I make them all from scratch buy it might just be what I call flour you call mix? I'm not sure. I just know that when you trade recipes they sound so yummy but I can't get the ingredients - y'all have to send me food parcels!!!!!

That's a good idea of sending them to you. They are almost look like chocolate tear drops, but flat on the bottom. They are small.

The dark chocolate is probably the same as our semi-sweet. You'd have to shave it to get the little pieces if they don't offer the morsels.

[Yoyowife]

You just wouldn't want the dark chocolate to be bitter.

[Sara]

OH, it's one big cheese ball. Now I get it. I thought they were little cookie sized balls. That's a different appetizer. I guess a dessert appetizer.

[Yoyowife]

Yep, you got it. Very easy and addicting!

[Sara]

Yes, we have semi-sweet and very dark or bitter chocolate. But I'm assuming bitter is one you don't have. The only difference is the amount of sugar in it. You can always melt the chocolate and sweeten it with 1/4 cup of sugar. I do that with my chocolate mousse recipe. I can make it with any kind of chocolate, I just add sugar if it's a baker's or dark chocolate or not if it's a sweet chocolate.

Saffie the chocolate morsels can also be calle chocolate baking chips.

It's funny that we are having a conversation about chocolate! Chocolate is the way to a woman's heart, that and diamonds!

[Sara]

No, mixes are cake flour with the sugar and baking soda and everything except the egg and oil and water already in the package. This is how Americans cook. We cannot be bothered sifting flour and adding other dry ingredients. We buy it in a mix and then add the wet ingredients and whatever we want. They don't sell cake mixes in England? That seems so 19th century. The baking aisle at the grocery has all the mixes plus the basic flour and sugar type ingredients, plus the chocolates, in all their forms, butterscotch chips, mint chocolate chips, coconut, nuts, pie fillings, etc. all in one place.

The one thing we can't get here is something my daughter fell in love with in Holland --- Hagel Fagel. It's shaved chocolate in a box and you sprinkle it on pancakes and ice cream. I've looked everywhere.
