Total Time: 20 minutes
Makes: 32 servings
Ingredients
1-1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter (no substitutes)
1 1/2 cups chopped hazelnuts
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
Directions
1. Line a 9 inch square pan with enough aluminum foil to extend a little past the edges, and butter the foil.
2. Place chocolate chips in a glass bowl, and cook in the microwave, stirring every 20 to 30 seconds until melted and smooth. Spread the melted chocolate in the bottom of the prepared pan. Set aside in the refrigerator to cool while you make the candy part.
3. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, butter, hazelnuts and corn syrup. Bring to a boil, stirring to blend as the butter melts. Heat the mixture to 250 to 265 degrees F (121 to 129 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a rigid ball.
4. Pour over the cooled chocolate, and spread into an even layer. Return to the refrigerator to cool. When completely cool, break into bite size pieces, and store in an airtight container.

Makes: 6 servings
Ingredients
3 day old bagels
1/3 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil.
2. Slice bagels into 1/8 inch thick rounds using a serrated knife. Arrange them in a single layer on the greased baking sheet. In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese. Use a spoon or pastry brush to apply the flavored olive oil to the bagel chips. If you start to run out of the mixture, you can add a little bit more oil without sacrificing any flavor. Season the chips lightly with salt and pepper.
3. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the chips are lightly browned. Remove from the oven and cool. The chips will become crispier as they cool.
