Sprinkle HERSHEY'S Cocoa Powder over greased or buttered pan when baking anything chocolate rather than flour

My daughter does not like chocolate and I usually substitute butterscotch chips for chocolate or use white chocolate chips. Works fine!!

When decorating fresh strawberries with chocolate to garnish a plate of cookies and you want the strawberries to stand up, fill a jellyroll pan with ice and lay another pan on top of the iced pan. Let get very cold. As you dip your strawberries in chocolate, bring over to cold pan and hold in upright position until the chocolate firms up in upright position. Then as you garnish, all your strawberries are pretty and standing tall.

Coat the inside of graham cracker crust with thin coat of melted chocolate. Allow it to set up before filling with favorite filling.

No time to decorate a cake, just lay a seasonal cookie cutter on top. Sprinkle colored sugar inside the cutter or outside the edges.

When baking round layers, my mother aways lined the pans with waxed paper. The layers come out great, the waxed paper peels off easily and just wipe the pan with paper towel.

I love to add 1 sm package of vanilla instant pudding into choc. chip cookie recipe, I also add 2 TBL of peanut butter into the recipe. Everyone loves it.

In a 9x13 baking dish, empty a cake mix in the center. Make a hole, then pour in required oil. Mix the eggs with the required water in the mixing cup then pour into the baking dish. Take a fork and mix well. Then bake as directed . So easy, no mess to clean up.

Use coffee instead of water in instant hot chocolate mix. Instant cappuccino!

When making cinnamon rolls, I add a /4 Teaspoon of Vanilla Flavoring to the dough. You can taste a slight difference, but most people can't figure out what it is that makes them better.
