Mexican Hot Chocolate Rice Crispy Hearts

Does everyone else love rice crispy treats like I do, or do I have some sort of abnormal obsession? I love baking – cakes, cookies, tarts, all the yummy things. But I can’t think of anything else that brings more joy to both adults and kids as rice crispy treats, IMHO. So I wanted to […]

Baked Sunday Mornings: Exceedingly Chocolaty Crinkles

Baked Sunday Mornings is celebrating Christmas in July… and I like it. We’re embarking on our last 5 recipes from Baked Occasions, which is really hard to believe! Most of our remaining recipes are holiday cookies, and Exceedingly Chocolaty Crinkles are among my favorites, as this was one of the recipes that I tested when our blogger group did […]

Baked Sunday Mornings: Milk Chocolate Malted Brownies with Chocolate Ganache

Brownies twice in a row for Baked Sunday Mornings— I can definitely embrace this lifestyle.

I was apprehensive about this week’s Baked Sunday Mornings recipe, Chocolate Espresso Tapioca Pudding with Kahlúa Whipped Cream from Baked Occasions, because my puddings have historically been hit-and-miss. (This is our Black Friday recipe, a little ahead of the “holiday”.) I have never made tapioca pudding from scratch, but […]

Baked Sunday Mornings: Black Cocoa Bundt Cake with Butter Whiskey Glaze

While I don’t have a lot of warm, fuzzy Dad memories, I need absolutely zero excuses to make an ultra-chocolaty cake, particularly one with black cocoa in it. It’s a day that ends in “-day”? Sounds like a GREAT reason to make cake! I got out of bed today? Let me just grab the flour. This week for Baked […]
