Give Your Baking a
Swirl
 (Family Features) - For dessert with a built-in "wow" factor, give it a swirl!
When you use these new milk chocolate morsels swirled with
caramel or peanut butter and semi-sweet chocolate morsels
swirled with white chocolate, you can make edible works of
art all your own.
With a package of Swirled morsels on hand, you can use them
just like semi-sweet chocolate chips in dessert recipes of
all kinds. But let your inner artist come out! Dress up your
peanut butter cookies with chocolate and peanut butter
swirls. Make your bar cookies or cakes even more decadent
with chocolate and caramel swirls. Give chocolate and
vanilla cheesecakes or other creamy desserts a "black tie"
sophistication with semi-sweet chocolate and white chocolate
swirls.
Customize cakes, cookies or brownies from a mix when you
stir these morsels into the batter and create your own
swirled polka dot design on the top. Make your favorite
homemade or chef-style desserts look just as fabulous as
they taste with a sweet swirl of magical chocolate.
