Connie’s Easter Avalanches

Hey Y’all,

Spring has Sprung!  The Bluebonnets are gorgeous, so hopefully you’ve taken your pics!

Easter is just around the corner!   I love Easter!   Of course, the bunnies, & jelly beans are faves, but most especially, Easter gives me Joy because I know “Jesus is Risen”!   

You may be surprised to know I have special recipes I make every Easter.  LOL! One of those recipes is featured in this week’s video. Marco & Keira are awesome helpers in spite of Keira’s cough due to allergies.  She’s a trooper!

Remember the avalanche video we made last year with cuties, Landon & Elin Thigpen?  Here’s the link to that video & recipe.  To make Easter avalanches, just add some Cadbury caramel-filled eggs & Easter pastel M&M’s. 

Please send pics of your Easter Avalanches.  You know how much I love hearing from you.

Stay tuned for another guest chef to be in the kitchen with me making one of our favorite side dishes for the Nelson Easter dinner.  

FYI:  I’M NOT A QUITTER, FRIENDS!

I’m still waiting for someone to reach out to me and say,

“BLAKE SHELTON ISCOMING TO

CONNIE’S TRUFFLE HOUSE IN AUSTIN, TEXAS”!

Someone out there can make this happen & win a dessert every month for one year from the Truffle Kitchen.  Can’t wait to find out who wins this challenge!  

Have a great day!

Love y’all,

Connie’s Easter Avalanches (Gluten Free)

These bars make great gifts!
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 2 bags white chocolate chips (I like Nestle & Ghiradelli)
  • 2 bars Lindt white chocolate (chopped)
  • 6-8 Lindor individually wrapped truffles: white chocolate, milk & fudge swirl are great!
  • 1 cup (more or less) of creamy or crunchy peanut butter
  • 1 – 1 ½ cups marshmallows
  • 1-2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 cup chopped pecans (cashews & macadamia nuts are good, too)
  • 1 cup M&M’s plain (pastel colored)
  • ½ cup Mini Cadbury Cream Eggs
  • Mini chocolate chips to decorate the top
  • Mini M&M’s for decorating
  • Sprinkles for decorating the top work, as well!

Method
 

  1. In a large glass bowl, combine chocolate chips, chopped white chocolate bars and melt.  Stir to combine. (You can melt the chocolate in the microwave, in short intervals or in a glass bowl over simmering water. If you use the simmering water – double boiler method- be sure not to let any drops of water get into the bowl of chocolate. This will cause it to “seize” and become unworkable).
  2. Add the Lindor white chocolate truffles and Cadbury mini cream eggs, microwave for about 15 seconds, stir to combine.
  3. Next, add peanut butter to the white chocolate mixture & microwave for about 20 seconds.  Stir to combine.
  4. Then add the marshmallows, microwave for 25-30 seconds.  Stir to combine.
  5. Now, the fun begins: Stir in the rice krispies, pecans & plain M&M’s. If you add peanut M&Ms, keep in mind they are harder to cut through later on.
  6. Pour into a foil-lined (very lightly sprayed) 13 x 9 inch pan.
  7. Sprinkle the top with mini chocolate chips & mini M’M’s. Pat down lightly with the back of a spoon.
  8. Let “set” up or chill in frig for short time.  Lift out of pan & remove foil.  Cut into pieces. 
    For Easter, we cut a few with spring and Easter cookie cutters, then cut the left overs into bite size squares! Enjoy!
