To melt chocolate on the range you have to put the chocolate in a bowl over simmering water. Don’t let the water get in the chocolate or it will seize up.

Great idea!

When I make these type of treats, I usually give some away. If you want it to be even easier to make the millionaire shortbread, you can buy a can of the Le Lechera caramel where the Mexican foods are in the grocery store. And Walker’s shortbread is so hard not to just eat up. I just bought a bag of the cherry cordial Hershey kisses yesterday, so I might make some of those treats with that.

@jennifers1123. I made a cheesecake for Christmas a couple of years ago & when it was finished, I put a circle of the Cherry Cordial Kisses all around the edge of the cheesecake. It looked so pretty. I absolutely LOVE the cherry cordial kisses! Another trick with the Cherry Cordial Kisses is to unwrap it & put it in your mug of hot chocolate. YUM it is really delicious. Also, on the topic of melting chocolate, if you’re going to melt chocolate chips, if you don’t add some melted butter or some shortening, your chocolate chips will seize up. A couple of years ago, I did dipped pretzel rods & the chocolate in the bowl kept hardening up. That was because I didn’t know that I needed to add the shortening or the melted butter. If you don’t want to bother with adding one of those things, just use the almond bark. It melts very nicely & you can melt it again, if it starts to get hard. You don’t have to worry about it doing that, because that’s what Almond Bark is made for, to dip other treats in its melted form. I don’t have any Almond Bark on hand right now to look at see what it’s made with, but it’s made with ingredients that allow it to melt & not seize up.

Oh Amber, I was so on goal to be ahead this holiday season...then the middle of Oct my 85 year old mother had a stroke. I ended up living with her for a month to take care of her...then I did a funeral meal at our church and the next day woke up with COVID. So that was the week of Thanksgiving. I am just now 2 1/2 weeks later still trying to get my energy back. I just went down to my Moms and got her house 80% decorated last night, hoping to get to my house decorations this weekend. Just one year I would love to be decorated by Thanksgiving Day! Oh well, at least I still have my Mom and other than she gets very tired quickly I am blessed to still have her. and she has recovered from her symptoms. So priority in check! Thank you for your recipes. I will be trying some of these for neighbor gifts. They look delicious. Blessings to you

Oh no!! I'm so glad you guys are all on the road to recovery now.

I started working on the gifts I will be giving last January. I am making all my gifts this year. I just finished not too long ago (a week maybe) But now I am making other things to prepare...like baking, and making a guest treat. I usually get each person their own personalized size box of chocolates and place them on each dish at the dinner table for an extra "I love you" type thing but this year, I made some miniature gnomes for decor and my husband likes them so much that he went out shopping one day and came home with all the materials I would need to make more, only they will be in red, white and black, making little Santa gnomes. I've made a few and they turned out so cute that I decided that it would be much better than always chocolate.
