There are ways to enjoying milk chocolate that go beyond taking a bite out of a bar. The sweet and smooth blend of cocoa, milk solids, and fat can transform a ho-hum dessert into a truly special treat. The next time you grab a milk chocolate bar, use any of these 10 ideas and make something spectacular.
Saucy! Create delicious Chocolate Sauce using milk chocolate and use it as a topping for ice cream, mousse, fruits or cake.
Surprise! Next time you make tea cookies, place milk chocolate inside for a sweet surprise. See how it's done in the Surprise Chocolate Kiss Cookies.
Melt and top! Take your favorite milk chocolate bar and melt to create Chocolate Mendiants topped with your favorite fruits or nuts.
Bind it! Melted milk chocolate can serve as binder when you make homemade Chocolate Cereal Bars. Try it with nuts and other grains.
Great for no-bake! Milk chocolate allows you to create delicious treats at home even if you don't have an oven. Melt chocolate on the stove top or in the microwave and use as directed. See what we mean in the Homemade Choco-Peanut Butter Cups.
Fry it! Give turon an upgrade when you make these Fried Choco Sticks with Banana Cream. Use milk chocolate instead if you find dark chocolate too bitter.
Dip it! Melt your favorite chocolate bar for the Petite Chocolate Fondue and dip fruits or cake bits.
Freeze it! Coat bananas in melted chocolate and put in the freezer for a fruity frozen treat: Frozen Bananas
Jazz-up fruits! Dip apples in melted chocolate and sprinkle with nuts, cereal or candy sprinkles for a fun way to enjoy fruit: Chocolate Sprinkled Apples.
