M&M's Cookie Bars

I made four batches of these in the last couple of days.  One went to a Sunday school party, two batches to school, and some to my niece and nephews in Massachusetts.  Everyone who tried them liked them, probably because they are LOADED with M&M’s.  They’re like a chewy version of a chocolate chip cookie, [...]

Soft Batch Dark Brown Sugar Coconut Oil Cookies

DiggStumbleUponEmailPinterestShare

These cookies don’t look particularly spectacular, but I found their taste to be unbelievably delicious. I have never baked cookies using coconut oil before, and I’m now hooked. The oil provides a very subtle coconut flavor that goes very well with the molasses and dark brown sugar.

These cookies are soft. Pleasantly so. I was always [...]

Chocolate Sheet Cake with Delicious Vanilla Frosting

DiggStumbleUponEmailPinterestShare

I have been intrigued for a while now by a recipe that has been touted on numerous blogs as, “the best vanilla frosting I’ve ever had!” The recipe looked a little odd because it contained flour that has to be cooked. I’ve never heard of flour in a frosting recipe, but yesterday I decided to [...]

Salted Chocolate Caramels

I love caramels.  I love chocolate.   The two together?  Delicious.

Making caramels is not hard if you have the right tools.   You’ll need an 8″ x 8″ square metal pan, parchment paper and a candy thermometer.   You won’t be able to make the caramels without a thermometer because you have to let the candy boil until [...]

On the way home from Maine last summer, we stopped at the Stonewall Kitchen store. We had a delicious lunch and walked through their beautiful store. I was tempted by a box of their doughnut mix which came with a doughnut pan. Their doughnut mix, like all of their other products, was delicious. After using [...]

The triplets just celebrated their birthday and I made these cupcakes for one of my son’s classes.    He asked for “Worms in Dirt” cupcakes.  This (above) is how I frosted them prior to adding the worms (crushed chocolate wafer cookies) and dirt (gummy worms).   The after picture is below.  He was so happy and [...]

It’s almost Easter, and one of our boys’ favorite treats at this time of year is Marshmallow Peeps. The boys like to eat them, and they also like to have Peep wars in the microwave. The other day we decided to try to make some peeps from scratch. There are lots of recipes out there, [...]

Triple Chocolate Cheesecake

DiggStumbleUponEmailPinterestShare

If you like cheesecake and you like chocolate, this recipe is a winner.   It’s absolutely delicious.   I’d be happy eating a slice after dinner every night.   It’s rich though, so I’d want a small slice.

I made this to serve as dessert for my St. Patrick’s Day dinner.  I made it because both my mom and [...]

Chewy M&Ms Cookies

DiggStumbleUponEmailPinterestShare

I just love cookies made with M&Ms. The recipe that I have been using for years was a little on the sweet side, but I still loved it. This recipe on the other hand is not quite as sweet. The cookie base has much less sugar in it, and consequently you can taste the cookie [...]

There’s a famous bakery in Manhattan called the Momofuku Milk Bar.   Christina Tosi is the chef, owner and founder.   I have been intrigued by the bakery since I first heard of it and its wonderfully named baked goods.   Some of their specialties include: crack pie, compost cookies, cereal milk and these cornflake crunch cookies.

I don’t [...]
