Butterscotch Cannolis

The other night, I went to my parents' house for a big Italian dinner. Afterwards, my dad asked where the cannolis were, but there were none. That was about it for me. I couldn't stop thinking about cannolis. Little did I know how ridiculously easy they are to make (provided you buy the shells). I thought I had chocolate chips, but I ended up having every kind of chip but chocolate. I opted for butterscotch and Kevin thought it was better than the regular chocolate chip. These were Natty's first cannolis. I think he approves!


Butterscotch Cannolis
8 oz marscapone cheese
3 tbsp sugar
1/8 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup butterscotch chips
6-8 mini cannoli shells (depending on how much you like in each shell)
Combine cheese, sugar, and vanilla in a medium bowl with a hand mixer. Stir in butterscotch chips. Cut the corner off a sandwich bag and use it as a piping bag to fill the cannoli shells.

Ooh, I'm not a butterscotch fan, but I think this calls for passing on a cannoli recipe to John regardless.

Same recipe works with chocolate chips or whatever you want to use in there.
