Turtle Shells *Not a Mario Refrence* Problem?

Well we stumbled upon this recipe, and the person didn't have a title for it, and they didn't really explain shit on how to do it, or HOW MESSY IT IS...so this got real serious, real quick. But! The noms (as always) were fucking amazing! Trolololol :D We have taken this recipe and made it our own....

Any who, we feel as if the person who supplied this recipe didn't give much information, we shall give you this information so you can flourish. Ahh yes.

Zis is vhat vou'll need for ze Turtle Shells. ...

Pretzel Thin Ritz crackers
1 cup of Brown sugar!
1cup of Butter, Which is 2 sticks of butter :]
Pecans! :D
Some Vanilla Extract, you don't really need a measurement, but for you OCD folks - about 1.5 table spoons
And some chocolate chips - any chocolate will  be sufficient, we wanted to do dark, but couldn't acquire any dark chips and just used semi sweet :D

To bake it all in, a mini muffin pan.

 Whitty with the shit you need, and a mustache. ^notice mini pan of awesome-sauce-ness

It made about 24 little bit sized yummies, probably a bit more since we had caramel left over, but we made 24 and just squished some caramel in.

By the way, this is seriously messy!!! Especially if you don't know it's messy! :D (but oh so fucking good)
Alright, preheat oven to 350 (tree-fiddy),then you get your ritz in yer mini pan, then you prepare the caramel because you don't have any.

That's where the 1 cup of Brown Sugar, 2 sticks (cup) of butter, AND the Vanilla Extract come into par.

What we did was melt down the 2 stick of butter before adding the brown sugar, but make sure you keep the butter agitated so it doesn't burn ;], if it burns you got problems, but essentially you're making caramel, and you need to bring the butter and sugar to a boil. You added the sugar and once its partially melted, or mostly actually, you can dash in your vanilla extract. TA DA!!
We boiled the mixture for about 5 minutes and when it began to get really bubbly, you turn the heat down and continue to stir, DONT STOP STIRRING!

Pretty simple from here on out, but if you don't keep an eye on yer shit, it gets messy.

So fill the mixtures with the caramel..pretty straight forward.

You have to watch cause the crackers will float up, and that shits annoying. so you have to take a knife and smush it back down, yes smush it.

Then after you smush the crackers down, you bake in the oven for about 5 mins @ 350 degress (tree-fiddy). But...this seemed to be too long since they boiled over and spilled onto my oven and made a mess, whoooo rar!... yes.


Then after they are baked, you put the chocolate chips on top so they melt and then you swish your knife over them and smooth them out. :D Then once the chocolate is melted and smoothed out you add your pecans! Then after all that is done stick that shizz in da fridge for about an hour, just so they solid up and stuff.

Wha-la!

Finished Product! And Whitty eating out of the pan! Trolololol.

They are quite yummy, and delicious, and melt in your mouth. GO!

Shrink Mah Dink....

Soooo...being as it's saturday, shrinky dinks.Yes, we devised a plan to take shrinky dinky paper sheets cut them down to appropriate sizes and make RINGS. Oh fuck yeah. But..this project needs to be revisited, because we are artists, and everybody knows artists can't calculate....correctly. :D

NUMBERS D:

Here's Whitty's before they shrunk. Or skrunk'ed.

Here's Amby before the Skrunk-age.

And the Skrunkage'd is where the fail happened. :[ So we needs to try again. Pretty much we made them a bit too big and didn't think about the possible warpage :O

Trololol, although, making them was a BLAST. xD It will make you all smiley! :D

The anticipation of watching these little bits of plastic warp and twist to finally achieve maximum shrinkage is almost too much to bear (also due to the fact that normally, plastic is NOT ovenable :D)

Eventually, after all the anticipation, they emerged from the oven...warped and a bajiggity. After multiple attempts to form them into circles, it was decided that the first two would be....necklaces. Amby's turned out better. This is the result...

Ahh yess, bajiggity. That octopus is hot. Pretty much where we found to make these things the chick who gave the instructions is a cunt...trololol, and apparently have big fat ugly sausage fingers :O

We will attempt this bajiggity-ness again on tuesday. :]

These cookies...Pretty Awesome Sauce....Actually.

The reason: snow. The time: game time. The plan: To nom. End result? Fuck Yeah. Caramel ice cream injected deliciousness. The vessel for this wonderfulness? COOKIES!

(I would love to say I made that shit in paint (and I own photoshop) fuck yeah)


Cookies that so happen to involve the awesome sauce-ness of the ever so delicious Haagen-Dazs Dulce de Leche ice cream. Yeah that's right, shit just got serious. :D

 Trololol. Notice the awesomeness of my shirt. Its cookie monster...and that is a chocolate chip cookie in bed. Scared shitless. That's how you'll be if you don't try to make these awesome cookies.


I mean yeah, chocolate chip cookies are da bomb but they always need to better. And this injection of ice cream to the cookie dough batter, well this did it. :D Fuck yeah!

With the assistance of a KitchenAide mixer and gloves that look like dirty Mickey Mouse hands, these cookies were a huge success. In one word, they were prettygoodactually.

Ok so, you know how those other baking/cooking websites have all these dramatic pictures of the shit they baked...well here yeah go! Its the bowl...Notice, by the thickness and possessive energy encased within the doughy batter as it slowly creeps its way off the bowl. It was just that damn thick. :D  By this point we have already baked about 3 half dozen cookies. It made a good batch.

Please enjoy the new few "Dramatic Cookie Dough" Shots as Whitty likes to put it. Har har har.

We like to title this shot "Suddenly Balls...HUNDREDS of them!!" :D We need to keep the emphasis on how dramatic and SERIOUS this is....cereal.

We made many many balls that grew up to be delicious cookies. Makes mamas Amby and Whitty proud :D lol jk and all that jazz. We aren't keeping these cute lil suckers as they will be getting adopted by two adorable...i mean masculine men...*please note that these cookies produce about two bags full of awesome* (yes, two bags full of awesome is an actual measurement). We coined that shit. (better then Rachel Ray)

Before you make these cookies you will feel like this...

Then after you eat this delicacy...

This cookies are so damn hot, flowers grow out of your head. See how serious? We weren't joking. :D

Any who, I bet you're like "Ok great, give me you're &*^% recipe."

Ok seriously:

Step one: Make chocolate chip cookies.

Step two: Insert Ice Cream at correct time. :D (wet ingredient)

You can really use any basic chocolate chip recipe just add any flavor ice cream in the wet part. I could list out the ingredients, but what fun would that be? That wouldn't give you something to do. So go do it. NOW. I mean hey, if you have questions feel free to post a comment or such and yadda yadda.

And before we part, butt cookies. Yeah it happened. AND IT WILL! :D
