Brownies & Bars
Yes, we have no bananas! Remember that 1920s song? Me neither- but I’ve always liked the title, so there. I do have bananas. Two, in fact, and they’re ripe and ready. When I have three or four waiting on the counter to be put to use in their respective afterlives, I’ll make my Banana Nut […]

Take a deep breath, reader. Get ready for the easiest no-bake thing you’re ever going to make (well, other than the Ugly But Good Bars, but still). These are my new favorite sweet thing, which means it should really be your favorite new sweet thing too. I dare you to make these and then tell […]

Toasted almonds and milk chocolate just work. Don’t try to argue about it, because you’ll lose the fight all night long. Take a perfectly good sliced almond, improve it 750% by toasting it (really- if you don’t toast your almonds then you are living in a hazy, cloudy, sad, bland place), and throw it into […]

Guys, I’ve gotta tell you- the World’s Greatest Fudge Brownie just keeps getting better. Have you heard of Nocciolata? Me neither, until recently. Think of it as Nutella on organic crack. (Really- it’s a hazelnut chocolate spread that’s made from totally organic ingredients, so I don’t need to feel bad swirling them into my all-organic brownie […]

Holy shizit. It happened. The dreams of many have come true (well, maybe it’s mostly my dream but I have to assume there are other sickos out there like me). Imagine a buttery blondie chopped up into chunks, and baked into the World’s Greatest Fudge Brownie. Hello? Are you okay? I think you blacked out […]

Imagine a brownie- a fudgy and chocolatey one- baked with a layer of cheesecake inside of it. Imagine not inhaling this dessert after it has cooled down just enough to not burn your tongue and mouth to smithereens. I know, it’s not possible. You’ll either let it cool just barely enough and eat the whole […]

I have a thing for brown sugar, which is alternatingly glorious and dangerous (seriously- I could eat it with a spoon on its own, and have done so many many times). Ever since sprinkling (pouring) it on my Shreddies and Life cereal as a kid, there’s been no turning back. (Case in point- the Quickie […]

Nutella. Nutella swirled into The World’s Greatest Fudge Brownie. (And a bit of Frangelico to amplify the hazelnut flavor.) Sold yet? I haven’t been to Eataly yet here in Chicago (Mario Batali’s food-filled haven)- shame on me, I know- so I have yet to see their glorious Nutella Bar… but The Husband went a couple […]

Lemon on lemon. If you like lemon, then this dessert is for you. If you like crunchy cookie situations with tart icing on top, then you’ll love me forever. And if you like being lazy (rather than waiting for 9 minutes for each sheet of cookies to maybe be done baking, oh- 1 more minute and […]

You can’t possibly imagine how good this dessert smells. By now you know I have a thing for smells in the kitchen (like how squirrely I get when the Classic Shortbread Cookie explodes with the Best Smell Ever after about 20 minutes in the oven). I’m hyper-tuned-in when it comes to the trillion odors that […]

If you like pumpkin pie and blondies, keep reading. This post is for you, my friend. (If you don’t like pumpkin pie or blondies, well, I can’t do much for you here other than feel a little bit sorry for you. Click on this page for hundreds of recipes to choose from, except for the […]

I have never made anything more decadent (oh, except for the Astonishing Chocolate Bar Cake which required the sprinkling of 14 chopped up bars overtop of multiple layers of chocolate cake. Yeah, that was pretty decadent.). But this, this dessert. There are four layers of dessert going on, four layers of love. Four layers of […]

Yes, another deviation off the World’s Greatest Fudge Brownie recipe, folks. Eat it up. Especially if you’re into the mint chocolate thing, which 95% of you are. (For the remaining 5% of you freaks, what can I say? Make this recipe without the mint chocolates, or go make a Zucchini Bread or something.) Adapted from my World’s Greatest […]

I have a thing for maple syrup. As a kid growing up in the Great White North, field trips consisted of visiting the depths of freezing cold forests to learn about the riveting process of sap-turned-into-syrup. Boring lessons, but worth standing in the cold for a taste of frozen syrup on slabs of icy snow. […]

Oh my. Everyone loves the Magic Gooey Cookie Bars. This is a fact. (If you don’t know what I am talking about then click here immediately, make these bars, and then try to tell me you’re the only earthling who doesn’t love Magic Gooey Cookie Bars.) But what if the amazingly excellent graham cracker crust […]

It’s true. If you chop up 3 Butterfinger chocolate bars and toss them (lovingly) on top of your brownie batter, your kitchen and living room will smell like a Butterfinger factory as it bakes for 28 minutes. And the mysterious crumbly filling of said chocolate bars will kind of bake up and congeal into a […]

This dessert has the potential to change your life. I know you might think that’s a bit of a bold statement, and I know you might think I’m a bit of an exaggerator (I’ve bragged relentlessly about the Decadent Deep-Dish Pecan Pie and the Classic Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting, because they too […]

A while back I made Chewy Pecan Bars that rocked my world. The smell, the texture, and the taste- oh yes, the taste. I was left almost speechless (which is a hard thing to accomplish). But I knew there was a weensie opportunity to take the bars to the next level. And I had a bag […]
