Welcome to Simply Davlicious Recipes!

Here you’ll find not only the entire archive of recipes from Simply Davine, but new recipes from my kitchen and some old family favorites too. Whenever I create a new recipe that’s worthy of sharing or get my hands on an old family favorite that I have permission to go public with, you’ll find it here!

I’ll add or update photos as I get them or get better ones and look for those cook book pages too! When you see a Cook Book Page for the recipe, Click the credit after you read them! The link will take you to the download page! Davlicious Cook Book Pages are made for a 12X12 book and are offered for download in full resolution at 300 dpi. You can collect them and try out the recipes. If you like them, add them to your own for a very personal and pretty cookbook you can print and add to your kitchen collection. A collection of your favorite recipes is also a great gift!

Things to note about my recipes-

I was born in Dearborn, Michigan, so ALL of the recipes I make are American. When an ethnic tag is attached, it means the flavors of that ethnic influenced my spice choices. I don’t claim to write any authentic ethnic dishes. That being said, if it’s tagged “Noni’s Recipe” or “Pop’s Recipe” and also tagged “Italian,” it IS authentic San Marinese!

Recipes that are tagged “vegetarian” are prepared without meat. My vegetarian guidelines are choices my niece, who is a vegetarian, will eat. They are not strict vegan recipes.

Celebration Chocolates

Celebration Chocolates
by Davinities Holidays

I bag of milk or dark chocolate candy melts
2 cups Confectioners sugar
your favorite liquor or liqueur

Empty contents of Chocolate Melts into top section of a double boiler stirring occasionally until melted. While coating is melting, prepare filling.

Put the Confectioner's Sugar in a medium bowl. Gradually add liquor to the sugar, stirring as you go, until the mixture reaches a doughy consistency. hand roll the dough into small balls. if the dough crumbles, add more liquor until it is pliable.

When the chocolate has melted, remove the top half of the double boiler to working area. Using a wooden skewer, pierce one center half way and roll it in the chocolate to cover the center. Drop the ball onto wax paper to dry, using a skewer dipped in chocolate to cover the puncture hole. Repeat until all balls are covered.

Top the balls with confectioner's sugar, sprinkles, or melted colored "chocolate."

For a nice party or gift tray, use a few different liquors and colors of candy coating.

Note - in 1987, Michigan State Police representatives acknowledged that one should not eat Celebration Chocolates and drive. (Then they said "Thank you, Merry Christmas," and assured me they would be opened OFF DUTY!)
