These little S’more packages can be made by just assembling the ingredients. No baking involved. If you are up for it, make the chocolates yourself. Without fail, I forget a gift for someone every holiday. So lately I’ve tried to keep an easy gift idea close at hand like this one. Above you will see [...]

This always looks harder than it is, really. I made these during the holidays and everyone flipped. I used melted chocolate drizzled over parchment paper for the toppers along with a blackberry. Use any berry you want for garish. I use real whipped cream but the can type is fine too. My daughter was [...]

Hands down the top-selling cupcake we made at the shop. I would say that this is by far my most favorite cupcake. When it is all say and done I’m a loyal chocolate lover to the core.

Who doesn’t like chocolate and chili? For some reason this recipe was calling my name even after all the holiday baking. Figured I better share it…….. The base recipe is from my dear friend Kitty from way back in high school, she has always been a much better cook than I. When I got married five million years ago [...]

These brownies are rich and slightly chewy, moist and intensely chocolate. You have the option of adding mint extract or vanilla extract. Just depends on if you like peppermint. Either way it’s all good. You can also add chopped nuts if you so desire. Personally I don’t like nuts in my brownies, go figure. Don’t get [...]

Making a souffle can be daunting. But you see here is the thing, if you don’t at least try you’ll never know how wonderful it can be. Let’s just say it doesn’t come out perfect, no worries ’cause it has so many sensational ingredients that you are still going to devour it. Souffle is light and [...]
