Dark Chocolate Brownies with Chocolate Ganache Frosting

OK, I’m trying very hard to get my blog connected to Facebook, so my posts appear on my new Stylish Cuisine page automatically. I have been playing with this for a couple of days now with no luck, but I think I finally figured it out. The true test will be whether or not this [...]

Chocolate Brownie Cookies

DiggStumbleUponEmailPinterestShare

These cookies pack a chocolaty punch!   They’re like brownies in cookie form – soft, chewy and chocolaty.   I made them recently for my girlfriend’s birthday and she and her family gave them rave reviews, especially her son Jack!

They are quite soft when cooked, so next time I might make them a tiny bit smaller, which [...]

Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Salted Peanut Butter Filling

DiggStumbleUponEmailPinterestShare

Do you remember Funny Bones? I’m probably dating myself here because I never see them in stores anymore, but they were one of my favorite treats growing up. They’re a chocolate cake, filled with a sweet peanut butter cream and dipped in chocolate. If I had one today, I’d probably think it tasted terribly artificial, [...]

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

DiggStumbleUponEmailPinterestShare

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 [...]

Sour Cream Coffee Cake with Chocolate Cinnamon Swirl

I’m a big fan of crumb cake for breakfast. My favorite part is the crumb topping, but the cake part isn’t bad either. I saw this recipe and was grabbed by the title. Anything with a chocolate cinnamon swirl is right up my alley.

This coffee cake reminded me of something that you’d buy at Starbucks. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake with Brown Sugar Frosting

DiggStumbleUponEmailPinterestShare

A mayonnaise cake?  OK, I know it sounds pretty repulsive, but give me a second here. Believe it or not, this cake is moist and delicious without even a hint of mayonnaise taste. The mayo in this recipe replaces the fat that typically goes into a cake, like butter or oil, and also the eggs. [...]

Mini Hot Cocoa Cookies

DiggStumbleUponEmailPinterestShare

Made these cookies recently and the boys loved them. For days, they took a cookie to school with their lunch. They received a double thumbs-up from all four boys and from many of their friends also.

Truth be told, I thought the cookies were good, not excellent. Not terrible, but not the best things I’ve ever [...]
