🛒 Recipe Variations
- You can substitute walnuts or almonds instead of pecans in the Mississpii mud cake recipe. Our recipe shows half of the cake with nuts, and the other half of the cake without nuts. If you don’t care for nuts, you can omit them from the recipe.
- If you love nuts in your fudge, you can add some to our fantasy fudge recipe. To add nuts, usually about 1/2 to one cup of chopped or sliced walnuts, almonds, or peanuts would be sufficient.
- For the chocolate covered strawberries, you can use different colors, shapes, or styles of sprinkles. For a patriotic dessert on the 4th of July, you can use red, white, and blue star sprinkles. Most stores carry them. Stores to consider, for example, would be Target, Walmart, Safeway, Fred Meyer, or Michaels Stores.
- Another variation for chocolate covered strawberries would be to swap the melted milk chocolate for melted white chocolate to change the color and look. White chocolate covered strawberries with red sprinkles for your lover on Valentines Day! So romantic!
🙋 FAQ’s for Chocolate Desserts
Most chocolate desserts will last about three or four days on the countertop or in the refrigerator before they start to lose their quality and orginal texture from day one. When storing them on the countertop, always keep them in an airtight container. Cookies will last longer if you put a slice of bread in the bag or container with them.
Any chocolate desserts with whipped cream in them needs to be kept in the refrigerator. And even though they are kept in the refrigerator, the whipped cream will start to lose it’s fluffy texture and turn runny after about a day or two. So these desserts need to be eaten within a day or two, or put in the freezer for another day.
You can easily freeze most chocolate desserts. Make sure to use a freezer safe bag or airtight container made for the freezer. Most desserts will last about six months in the freezer. The next time you want a yummy treat, let the dessert sit on the countertop for a few minutes until thawed. If you love warm gooey brownies, heat them up in the microwave until warm.
