Chocolate meets jalapenos

Posted January 19th, 2006 at 7:17 pm by Jay Maynard

After dinner, I still felt like something dessert-oid. Howard’s posting about the chocolate chupaqueso, along with a memory of reading about chocolate-dipped jalapenos somewhere, combined to inspire me. Here’s the result:

Chocolate and jalapeno together

That’s a cheddar shell, with Kraft pizza cheese, sliced jalapenos, and Hershey’s Special Dark chocolate syrup. This turned out suboptimally: the chocolate got too runny to allow picking it up and eating with the hands. Even so, it was yummy. The jalapeno bite was a bit blunted, and the chocolate wasn’t overpowering.

Next time, though, I’ll use chocolate chips.

    You have no idea how happy that picture made me. Thanks, Jay!

    (longtime Schlock fan here. Hi!)

    I tried out chupaqueso again yesterday, and only want to report that Emmentaler is a really, really good shell cheese; and that cottage cheese and camembert makes for quite an interesting filling.

    We tried out a chupaqueso this morning using the Costco Mexican Blend, worked out pretty good. Pictures up at http://seeuseat.blogspot.com/2006/01/breakfast-at-home_20.html .

    So far I haven’t tried out an expensive cheese. Maybe I’m lowbrow, but the only difference I’ve been able to find between store brand Swiss cheese and Emmentaler is a great deal of money.

    Maybe if I lived in walking distance from the SF Farmer’s Market, and could bring home funy-named cheeses every day, it would be different. But I can buy pre-shredded mozarella in a 2lb bag…

    Emmentaler is expensive? *boggle*
    I bought it because it was the cheapest decent cheese I found just then…

    Where do you live that Emmentaler is cheap? It sure isn’t in rural Minnesota.

    Nah. Northern Bavaria. :)

    By the time you ship a 90-pound wheel of Emmenthaler to the US, it ain’t cheap any more.

    I’ve only ever seen it at Whole Paychecks Market. I bought some along with a piece of Vacherin to give with a fondue set. Can’t recall if it was imported from Schweiz or California organic artisan stuff, but it was like $10/lb.

    (By the time I got to the department store, all that was left in my friends’ wedding registry was a bunch of sheets. Sheets! The hell with that. I’m getting them somethng that when they get it out of the cupboard twenty years from now, they say “God, Dan gave us this. Remember Dan?”)

    Here in West Nowhere, the best cheese I can get is Tillamook.
