TV Program Guest Appearance

I was honored to be a guest on a TV program today! It will air in December, four times per week throughout the month. I arrived at the station to meet the director and camera people. After I was finished setting up the two hosts arrived. They were lovely (two teens - boy/girl). Both did a fantastic job assisting me with the recipes and asking questions. I could tell they had spent time thinking about questions to ask prior to the show's taping. We made the following recipes:

** Pretty in Pink Berry Smoothie
** Corn Salsa with a chocolate flair
** Brownie Bombs
** Truffles
** Peppermint Delight Smoothie

The time preparing the recipes on air flew by! I enjoyed the experience and hope the television viewers will as well. I will post an update, when the program is edited and available online to view. What a great time....Thank you!

Pretty in Pink Choco-Berry Smoothie

Chocolate and berries have never been such a delight together! These smoothies are so refreshing and delicious. You will want to drink both servings yourself! But invite a friend and share, you will be glad you did! Don't let summer go by without trying these....They are very easy to make! The Frosty White Smoothie Mix is so versatile and this recipe is an example of one of the delicious recipes that can be made with it. I love the Chocolate-Berry smoothies!

¾ cup milk
2 cups ice
1½ teaspoons DCD Raspberry Dessert Sauce
2 oz. DCD Chef-Series Dark Chocolate (1 bar), chopped
DCD Raspberry Dusting Powder

Directions:
