Yes, I came up with another flavor combination for a biscotti! Chocolate chips and raspberries. The challenge was to incorporate some rather “moist” raspberries into a crisp biscotti. There was only one option – freeze dried raspberries, which you can find online, or at Trader Joe’s, or even sometimes in […]
I’m kind of addicted to biscotti at the moment – I’m thinking of unique flavors that I can incorporate into my favorite biscotti recipe. This one is a delicious blend of chocolate and peanut butter. These flavors are both blended into the dough, AND used as a glazed for the […]
I make these adorable, delicious, and QUICK candies every year at Christmas time. They are a hit every where I take them, and my kids and grand kids love them as well! This year, I thought i would coat 1/2 of these little peanut butter balls with chocolate and the […]
It’s almost 2020, so I thought it was time to create a new design for my most popular cake – my Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake. It blends a moist chocolate cake, with a peanut butter cream filling. The original cake was covered in chocolate frosting. The revisions I made include […]
You can’t go wrong with a chocolate martini. For this one, I used a pretty basic chocolate martini recipe, but modified it into a CHOCOLATE IRISH CREAM MARTINI. You can use any kind of vodka you have on hand, or that you prefer. I used Pinnacle Whipped Vodka, but you […]
This tart is perfect for both a coffee lover, and a chocoholic! A chocolate tart crust, with a chocolate mascarpone filling, sprinkled with chopped chocolate covered espresso beans, then topped with dollups of espresso mascarpone cream, and a dusting of cocoa powder. Chocolatey, creamy, crunchy. and DELICIOUS! CHOCOLATE TART CRUST: […]
I made this cupcake with my Mom’s chocolate no-egg cake recipe. It’s perfect for this flavor combination. Moist, rich chocolate cake, with salted caramel buttercream, a drizzle of salted caramel sauce, mini chocolate chips, then a light sprinkling of flaked sea salt – just – YUMM! CHOCOLATE NO EGG CAKE […]
How fun are these! When I was growing up, my Mom would occasionally make a version of the “Devil Dog”. It tasted very much like the Drake’s hot dog-shaped chocolate cake, with a creamy white filling in the middle (a common addition to our lunch bag)!! Leave it to my […]
Inspiration for these chocolate coconut tarts? MAGIC BARS!! I’ve posted these bars from my childhood before – but thought that a coconut tart shell would make an amazing vehicle for a chocolate tart. It’s that magical “sweetened condensed milk” that brings such a yummy, chewy texture to the bars. But […]
I made yet another version of my delicious raspberry red wine chocolate cake recipe – I just can’t get enough of this one! I turned it into individual servings that are perfect for Valentine’s Day! You can find individual pans in most baking sections of stores. I found these cute […]
Just in time for Christmas this year – I managed to turn my “go-to” biscotti recipe into chocolate peppermint biscotti! These came out amazing, if I may say! I used my basic biscotti recipe – originally called “Swedish Almond Toast”. The “crispness” of this recipe is what makes it a […]
Like many of my recipes, the source of this toffee recipe goes way back! Probably 30 years! Over the course of my travels while married to a Coast Guard officer – this recipe was shared with me. The only notation on the recipe card is “Karen” – THANK YOU KAREN! […]
With Halloween right around the corner, I couldn’t resist making a cupcake to celebrate the season! These are chocolate Halloween cupcakes, with my butter cream cheese frosting. They are decorated with “spider” theme in mind. Not sure how my grand babies will feel about these creepy and “crawly” cupcakes, but […]
My grand babies provide inspiration for a lot of my baking projects. Natalie, Hunter, and Zoe – they are so easy to please! My 5 yr old Natalie will evaluate a new cupcake that I make, and let me know if it has the “moist” texture that she loves! Can […]
