    White Chocolate Chunk & Pretzel Fudge Brownies

    April 27th, 2013

    You’re the type of person who either loves the whole sweet & salty combo, or who couldn’t care less. Let me tell you- this post is for my fellow friends who love a good dash of salt to balance the massive quantities of sweet.   As I’ve said before- how can you know what’s sweet […]

    Apricot Almond Bars

    April 24th, 2013

    I feel a little bit bad about something. I feel like I have been a little too focused on chocolate as of late (like the Tunnel of Fudge Cake, and the Brownie Scrap Pile.  Oh, and the Irish Cream Chocolate Mousse, don’t forget that one).  I’m so not apologizing- I know it’s fundamentally wrong to […]

  • Irish Cream Creme Brulee

    Espresso Creme Brulee

    April 20th, 2013

    It’s been far too long. Is it even possible that I’ve gone without crème brûlée in my life for eight months?  The shock, the horror.  It’s somehow strangely true.  (Candied Pistachio Crème Brûlée was my last foray into the intoxicating world of cream, sugar and yolk, and it was an unacceptably long time ago at that.)

They are so good that I […]

    Orange Shortbread Tart Cookies

    April 13th, 2013

      Shortbread cookies are immensely special things.  You and I and everyone who has ever tasted sugar and butter baked together into a dessert-like concoction knows that.  But let’s be honest with one another, bakers: sometimes shortbread can be a bit high maintenance.  Like I said, it’s special, and it deserves to be treated in […]

    Brownie Scrap Pile

    April 6th, 2013

    Sometimes life needs to be easier, doesn’t it? I have a way to do that and still enjoy it fully while indulging in the pleasures of rich, dense, fudgy chocolate.  With whipped cream.  And ice cream.  And maybe chocolate sauce just for fun. Here’s the scoop: make a batch of the World’s Best Fudge Brownies, and cut […]

  • Tunnel of Fudge Cake

    Tunnel of Fudge Cake

    April 3rd, 2013

      So I’ve been reading about this cake for a few years now, and always knew I’d get to it.  Really- how enticing is a chocolate cake with a tunnel of fudge literally running through it?  Enticing.  Very enticing indeed. A few months ago when trying to pass the horribleness of cardio time at the […]
