This is my first go at Oreo truffles – it probably won’t be my last! I decided to use mint Oreos, after I couldn’t find strawberry Oreos (I thought they had quit making them, but I’ve seen people using them again recently). I cut the popular Oreo truffles recipe in half – you can find [...]
I’ve made blondies once before, Martha Stewart’s hazelnut blondies, and they didn’t turn out very well. I didn’t understand much about blondies at the time; for example, I didn’t realize they were supposed to be gooey in the middle, and therefore I baked the hazelnut blondies until the top was so crunchy it was impossible [...]
I haven’t had unsalted butter in my refrigerator for two weeks now, which is why posts have been slow here. Everything I want to bake requires unsalted butter! People have given me suggestions – like baking something vegan, but it seems that vegan recipes always have another ingredient (or three) that I don’t have or [...]
I’ve always wanted to make my own chocolate and peanut butter cups. The recipes are so easy, I’m not sure why I’ve never gotten around to it until now. They really took no time at all, in nearly 30 minutes I was already sinking my teeth into these oh-so-rich peanut butter cups. I looked at [...]
I found the recipe for Starbucks’ chocolate cinnamon bread by total accident. I hadn’t even seen this particular bread for sale at my local Starbucks. It sounded way too nice to pass up on, so I bookmarked it for later – I used the recipe from Baking Bites, who made a few changes to the [...]
I had a very ripe avocado that I’ve had stored in the refrigerator for the past couple of days and was thinking of something to do with it. I really love avocados, so I thought I’d see if I could find a recipe for avocado cupcakes. Then I found the chocolate avocado cupcake recipe. Very [...]
Yesterday was my birthday, so I just had to bake a cake. It took a while for me to decide what kind of cake I wanted and I ended up with a couple of recipes inside of a Ghirardelli 100% Cocao baking bar (that’s an unsweetened chocolate baking bar, in case you weren’t sure). It [...]
I have become a frequent visitor to TasteSpotting.com. There are so many different types of lovely and amazing food on the website, I just start drooling every time I go there! This was where I found the recipe for bittersweet chocolate brownies. To start at the beginning, I received a couple of bars of Ghirardelli [...]
I got a huge surprise for Valentine’s Day from my husband; a chocolate stash. I love the little Starbucks Chocolate Tasting Squares, they are so cute! All those Ghirardelli bars will be used in the future to make cupcakes, brownies and/or cookies! Now, on to our Valentine’s Day cupcakes. They did not turn out how [...]
This is something I’ve been wanting to try for a while – cookie dough fudge. I wasn’t sure how to go about it, whether I should roll the dough into balls and mix the balls into the fudge, or make a layer of cookie dough on the bottom. I know there are cookie dough fudge [...]
