Is it 3 or 4 tablespoons of Carnation Choc. malt. On Diana's is says 3. On the website it says 4. And, is there a vanilla ice cream Richcreator would suggest. There are so many. I tried it already and I would like to try it again but I need to know a good Vanilla to use and whether it is 3 or 4 tablespoons. And, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

I've created a web site to publish my Cho Cho recipe creation
as a deterrent to anyone thinking to plagerize by creation.
I will be updating it frequently.

Here's a great idea. I've had these plastic popsicle molds for years and they would make ideal popsicles for the kiddies. Of course, today's designs would be different but they can be bought at places like Target, KMart or Walmart.

I'd like to say something to Diana now, at this point in this thread, before bademento makes another uncalled for, wiseass remark.
I noticed the post on page 18 immediately following the graphics post by Richcreator showing his cho cho recipe where bademento said (again in reply to the recipe) quote: "Richcreator is ruining our site" unquote
Going back to page 9, 3/16/2008, Diana had to warn bademento:
quote=Diana:Okay kids, let's keep it civil. This is definitely a friendly site and I feel sad that there is "anger" between quests.
I want sfgate and bademento to agree to "disagree". Life is too short." unquote
Who is the trouble maker here?

I wouldn't care if the temperature was 200 degrees, it wouldn't stop me from shopping for ice cream.
I use thermal and/or insulated bags.
It pays to be a thinker.
Another "Giving" and "Learning" experience.

A Thankful Note To All,
I so appreciate all of your input, information and history on the Cho Cho. I started this forum subject on December 4, 2002 and I never expected so much interest.
I agree with some of you who have so graciously commented on this subject, but I have to agree that this was supposed to be fun, and it has now become somewhat angry. I am sad for this. I am asking that any comments made from now on be helpful and hopefully pleasant, otherwise I will have to stop this particular subject on my forum. I hate to do this as my wish was and still is that Diana's Desserts Website Forum be a place where guest's to the site can express themselves, but definitely in a PLEASANT manner.
I really care about all of you and I do hope you continue to use this forum for pleasant enjoyment and for a giving and learning experience.
Sincerely, Diana
Diana's Desserts

dag, many questions you have. Most answers are found by rereading this topic's thread. I love researching and I have learned soooo much from this thread! If we would have stopped 8 yrs ago, our cho cho knowledge would be so much less. I think it is great that someone took the time to post a cho cho version recipe.. And for our Cho Cho fans, Carnation malt flavors, both vanilla and chocolat is $3.98 each at WalMart here in Oklahoma. Not everything has been "proven". There are many assumptions. Being a male, I'm not sure what I should be resenting....

Ok! I am going to the grocery store tomorrow and hope by the time I get home my ice cream is not completely melted since the temp in Schertz, TX has been hovering in the +100 degree range every day. I also hope that they have the two different malts to add in to the ice cream.
To Richcreater: I might not have had the original Cho-Cho from the 50's but the ones that I had growing up in Reading, PA from the Muhlenberg Dairy were pretty **** good. If this recipe is anything close to that, I will be extremely happy.
To the rest of you, Why not try the recipe for yourselves....then you can decide if they taste the way you remember them from your younger days. What is it going to hurt.

I got around to being curious about the cost of the cho cho's I make with my recipe. Give or take a nickel or a dime, each cho cho of mine cost about 20 cents. And my cho cho's taste far more like the original chocolate malted cho cho.
People seem to be willing to pay 70 cents each for an imitation that tastes nothing like a cho cho or
people seem to be willing to wait until the end of time for nothing.
I made a dozen cho cho's the other day. Today I made 18 more, but I whipped the batter to incorporate more air and make them more creamy and I got 18 instead of 12. These 18 cho cho's that I made today cost me $2.25 total.
I just happened to think of something that happened a few years ago. A woman came into the diner and asked for a piece of apricot pie. The waitress said they never have apricot pie. The woman was so distressed because she craved apricot pie so bad. I said to her, "why don't you go home and make yourself an apricot pie?" She gave me a dirty look, much like the dirty look I feel like I get here.
I never buy pie or cake. I always make my own, whatever flavor I crave. I depend on nobody. And I never do without.
