You can stick just about anything in chocolate and call it a bark.
This one is chocolate, caramel, pretzel, and granny smith apple.
And it’s a bark!
Okay, I wrote that part last night and today I attempted said “bark”.
Remember when I said that this would be a bark? Yeah, no. The pretzels, although freshly purchased and freshly opened, were stale. Ick.
And the freshly cut apples were too juicy for the chocolate to set properly.
And the caramel, that went on the freshly cut apples, did not stick to the apples.
A mess really.
Won’t be doing that again and really calls into consideration next week’s planned bark. I may have to reconsider.
This is the second week of the Fall theme of November. Uninspired, I know. But there are only THREE CTIATs that count in November. The 4th is Thanksgiving and I will be delivering no cookies to the hospital on Thanksgiving. Sorry, folks on call.
I will make it up to them with the December theme, though.
Also tragedy struck my Pinterest account.
It was deleted. On purpose by the company. Despite my appeals.
Apparently I am too political. Funny other people can post wildly political things in the opposite direction. It was getting too corporatey there anyway.
I would have continued to save political stuff. Sorry, not sorry. I will continue to save political stuff, just not there.
But with it goes all 3200 CTIAT recipes I had saved. Some for future themes, some were favorites, some just looked cool.
That’s okay, I have a hell of a memory and can reconstruct most of it.
Because Pinterest is just a storage vault. And I was expecting something like this for awhile now.
I had been cross-saving some very special looking recipes to another type of vault.
Again, sorry, not sorry.
This won’t slow me down at all!
Probably not as they intended but oh well.
Good thing I have at least 20 cookie specific cookbooks I’ve been saving for a rainy day.
This also gives me permission to be more organized with my saving. CTIAT was organized and I had about 50 different subsections.
But I remember all the subsections and will use them to build CTIAT recipe repository 2.0.
I will rebuild, I have the technology and I can make it multi-level. I can make it better than it was.
Better, stronger faster.
The first bionic CTIAT repository.
Bonus points if you know where that is from.
And a gold star.
