Candies
Sometimes you want something sweet and easy. And rich. And fast. Any chocolatey. Oh, and a little bit nutty, too. Well then, here you have it. This is SO not authentic or gourmet or legit or any other synonym for real and classy. It’s a fudge for cheaters. For you baking philanderers. (Yes, I […]

This is a recipe for lazy, cheating bakers. Any time you rely on store-bought caramels- the individual ones you unwrap one by one and try to not eat every third one whilst doing the unwrapping- you’re a lazy cheat. Yeah well, there’s a time and a place for that kind of corner cutting in every […]

The last time I melded the two flavors together was in serious celebration of National Chocolate Mint Day (yes, it’s an actual day, and quite the auspicious occasion at that)… an orgy of Mint Chocolate Bark, Brownies, and even a Chocolate Mintini drink made the cut.

February 19th… forever mark your calendars with this auspicious anniversary. And try a few of the mint chocolate gems below: Chocolate Mint Bark, Decadent Mint Chocolate Truffles, Mint Chocolate Fudge Brownies, and a martini known as the Boozy Chocolate Minitini. (Mint + chocolate + alcohol… I’ll cheers to that.)
Chocolate and mint have been having a sizzling affair on the well-known couple known as chocolate and caramel. Make these patties and find out why.
(Oh- as for the peppermint oil in the recipe- you’ll want to order it online like I had to, since peppermint extract won’t do the trick to get that rich, cool feeling in the mouth…)
