Chocolate Mousse Minis

Can you stand how awesomely cute these are………they looked so great, we almost didn’t want to eat them…….NOT!!!!!!

I was happy, happy, happy with this recipe, and with Tim’s great, awesome, wonderful, perfect pictures…….he is so great!!!

As I said in my previous post, we had a New Years Eve pre celebration this past Sunday. We wanted to be able to share with you, a great meal for your own New Years Eve.

What special meal doesn’t deserve a special dessert?? But, after a big meal you don’t always want a big dessert. Enter…….Chocolate Mousse Minis. They are bite sized rich creamy chocolate mousse, piped into pre-made phyllo cups, and topped with a fresh red raspberry….optional dust of powdered sugar.

Merlot Mushroom Filet

It’s the last big deal of the holidays………New Years Eve!!!!

In New Years Eve’s past, Tim and I have always worked. When you are in the restaurant business, New Years Eve is a big deal………for customers! For those of us who work on New Years Eve, we call it amateur night. Those who only come out on New Years Eve and celebrate a bit to much!… if you know what I mean!

This year, we get to celebrate at home…….woot woot!!!! For any special occasion I always think of a steak……..for me, nothing beats a filet mignon. It’s tender and juicy (if cooked right)…….but, it is rather pricy…….ok, it’s really expensive, but you don’t eat it everyday, so on the eve of a new year we splurge.

Truth be told, we got a gift card from Omaha Steaks, so ours were free, well, not free……..when you go to their site, and see all the great offers…….lets just say, we went over the amount on our gift card. We were not disappointed in the purchase, the steaks were/are great!

Pistachio Cranberry Crack

DISCLAIMER: I will not be held responsible for the amount of this you will want to eat!!!!!

This is the most addictive thing I have ever made……..hence the name. Seriously, I could not get enough. Tim and I almost made ourselves sick eating it…….it was that good!!!!

I know Christmas is over, but the Holiday season is not………not quite yet. I am sure many of you still have another Christmas or two, and there is still New Years Eve. Make this, take this, be the star……..if after you make it, there is any left to take…..lol.

Having all things I like…….dried cranberries, pistachios, white chocolate……..heaven……..I sorta sang that last word.

I have seen recipes with saltine crackers as a base and skimmed by them, saltines are something I am not overly fond of. They remind me of being a kid…….when we were sick we got saltines and flat 7up. But, they add the perfect touch of salty crunch to this recipe. A quick brown sugar, butter toffee over the saltines, then white chocolate topped with the cranberries and pistachios………salty, sweet, tart, nutty…….and in one bite! As if you can only eat one bite!
