Mini Eggs. Need I say more? Sometimes you just need to create a dessert to highlight something special. Like how I made the Baked Kahlua Pineapple Flutter– it was really all about the Kahlua. Or the Bittersweet Chocolate Oatmeal Bars– we all know the oatmeal was used merely to envelop the massive layer of thick, […]

The Twinkie people have created quite the sensation as of late. Apparently all you have to do is threaten that you’re going to go out of business, and everyone in the universe will hoard your products- which in the case of Hostess is just fine because the products never expire (or at least they don’t […]

I know, I know. Some might not call this a ‘disaster’ at all. Some might call it a resounding success. Homemade Twinkies are amazing things, and deserve to be stuffed full of fluffy, not-good-for-you frosting. It’s the definition of ‘stuffed’ that’s up for debate. Nearly bursting is acceptable. Chock full is acceptable. A frosting explosion is unacceptable, especially […]

Toffee + chocolate + almonds = amazing. Everyone knows that. But use dark chocolate, and you get to eliminate a bit of the guilt. (Isn’t that a rule? The antioxidant effects of the dark chocolate outweigh the artery-clogging effects of the butter? I think I read that somewhere, maybe.) This brittle is one of my favorite […]

Holy sh*#. (Oops, maybe I shouldn’t swear, given that this is a post about angels and all.) But seriously- holy crap. Imagine a cake that’s pretty and springy and fluffy and fragrant and tasty and fat free. No, you’re not dreaming. That’s the thing about angel food cake- it’s all of the above, and almost […]

I can’t even begin to comment on what happened here, other than to say that I need to perform an exorcism of sorts in my kitchen. Apparently the devil won the arm wrestle with the angel, at least in this batch of what was supposed to be adorable mini Angel Food Cakes. (The recipe […]

“Curd” sounds gross, so don’t judge this incredible dessert it by it’s nasty name. (Kind of like how you shouldn’t judge the Ugly But Good Bars just because they look fugly.) Nope, this dessert is a keeper. If you like lemon, then you’ll want to make a batch of it and not tell anyone and then eat it all […]

When you think of St. Patrick’s Day do you feel the need to ingest Irish cream? (Please say yes to that question, and no to green beer. Please.) Are you looking for an excuse to build Irish cream into a dessert to be “festive”? You’ve found it. Technically you can skip the Irish cream, […]

These bars are schizophrenic. One one hand, they’re all “oooh, I’m a dessert, all soft and chocolately and chewy”, and then the next minute they’re all “respect me because I’ve got whole wheat in me, and powdered peanut butter which is fat-free and yet still fantastically tasty”. Can a dessert be crave-worthy and low-fat/high-fiber at the […]

This recipe isn’t for the faint of heart. But you didn’t come to this site without a serious sugar and chocolate addiction, though, did you? Welcome, my friend. So picture this: a bottom layer of The World’s Greatest Fudge Brownie, followed by a layer of the Ultimate Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookie with chunks of Bittersweet […]

Everyone loves chocolate chip cookies. And everyone loves chocolate. So by my above-average powers of reasoning and just being generally not dumb, I have been able to deduce that a cookie made with chocolate chips and chocolate is a crowd pleaser. (And don’t we all want to please crowds?) These cookies end up with that […]

Don’t worry if you’re confused. The name says it’s a pudding, but the picture looks an awful lot like a cake, doesn’t it? Here’s the dealio: A pudding is basically a goopy, sticky cake. (I’m so sold already. Like in this particular pudding- the toffee sauce is poured into holes poked into the cake while […]
