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: Peanut Butter Crispy Bars
I feel like I keep saying this… How have I not made these before?? I’ve been participating in Baked Sunday Mornings for over 7 years and made the large majority of BAKED’s recipes from their four cookbooks– it’s hard to believe we’re in our last 6 months of baking through BAKED: New Frontiers in Baking… and […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Chocolate Stout Milkshake
Sometimes you just need to bring the boys to the yard. You know, for milkshakes and all. Although BAKED specializes in baked goods (obviously), their first cookbook from ten years ago, BAKED: New Frontiers in Baking, contains a chapter on drinks, and I usually skip these when we have them on the Baked Sunday Mornings schedule because I don’t […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: A Trio of Truffles
I love chocolate. I really do. A LOT. But for some reason, chocolate truffles, at best, illicit a lukewarm reaction for me– they are not my preferred chocolate delivery system. And you know what I enjoy even less than eating chocolate truffles? Making chocolate truffles. I admit that I groaned when I saw this week’s […]
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: Hot Chocolate Pudding Cake
What. The. Effff… is what I thought when I was putting together this cake batter. Never before had I stared down so confusedly at a cake pan, wondering how the batter in front of me was supposed to bake into a cake. And yet, magically it sure did. If I were naming this bastion of […]
Classic Passover Decadence: Flourless Chocolate Cake
Chocolate. Butter. Eggs. Sugar. That is all you need to make this wickedly dark and decadent Flourless Chocolate Cake. I don’t think that much about flourless chocolate cake when it isn’t Passover (I know, I need to get my priorities straight), but during this week when the only bread product allowed is literally known as […]
At the End of the Rainbow: Irish Chocolate Biscuit Cake
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Let me start this Irish-inspired post by saying that… I love American pastry. I believe that, for all the beautiful desserts in the world, no one makes a layer cake or a thick, chewy cookie like American bakers. But… what if I told you that there is something we are sorely […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Mini Chocolate Brownie Cupcakes
I live by the school year calendar. I lived by the school year calendar since preschool, almost continuously except for one semester after finishing college while working in the tech consulting world (*shudder*) and not taking any classes. Aside from that brief period, I have always been in school in some capacity, whether full-time or […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Frozen Swiss Chocolate Pie
Summer weekends are for eating frozen things, preferably involving chocolate. And if those frozen chocolate things happen to be slathered in fudge and whipped cream, ALL THE BETTER. Our last recipe for Baked Sunday Mornings was in honor of National Dog Day; this week we are celebrating Grandparents’ Day with Frozen Swiss Chocolate Pie from […]
