Amazing variation to a great brownie recipe. And what brownie is really that good without nuts! I’ve added a nut crust that is just beyond rich and delicious. These three giant flavors make for an A+ dessert! BTW, no electric beater needed!
Still in search of the best Malted Milk Chocolate Cupcakes and yet to find a clear malted taste. Even after the addition of malted milk powder the chocolate smothers the taste in so many recipes. So, I refer you to this cupcake recipe. I find has the best malted taste so far. For the frosting … yes, adding malted milk powder does give it a more malt taste. Just add a bit of malted milk powder to your chocolate frosting recipe … hold up on some of the cocoa. Give it a taste test (add more malted if needed) until it has the flavor you’re after. Here’s the frosting recipe I used and just added the malted milk powder to taste. (You will need to add more liquid for the frosting consistency.) Enjoy!
What a surprise! My first bite … between fudge and brownie … Not too sweet chocolate flavor with roasted nuts. Chocolate Salami is an Italian and Portuguese favorite. But I have to admit while I lean to the Portuguese side I did add Amaretto instead of Port. Your choice of liqueurs is extensive. Just make it something that goes with chocolate and coffee. Exactly … What doesn’t? Not into a liqueur? Just add a little more coffee in its place.
I came across this dessert at a family reunion. Other foods from that wonderful day I have yet to try my hand. These are coming soon.

Why fuss over Hot Chocolate! Because it makes a difference in taste. Milk chocolate or dark, milk or water, whipped cream or marshmallow … these all count. As a kid my hot chocolate had to be mild, sweet but not too sweet, and rich not watery. This hits it all. So, when I want to feel like a kid again I make this delicious drink.
If your friends and family have different taste ideas try this Hot Chocolate Bar.
Someone special asked for this. Sounded so good … I was into it! I mean, who doesn’t like chocolate and peanut butter in a salty crust!
Recipe is right out of Baking Made Easy, and this was really easy! I noted the magazine gave Kate Wood credit. So, I had to check her out! If you’re curious here she is. She has some good eats! I often like to speed up a recipe, impatience. Most often it turns out well. This is one! Enjoy a really tasty cheesecake-like pie with a smidge of chocolate ganache.
Halloween isn’t just for kids! Here are rich and moist Devil’s Food Cakes that will please the whole family!
When putting together the Citrus Ricotta Cookies I noticed an additional recipe by Beads and Basil in Values, an Owasso & Collinsville Values Magazine. I knew if I baked these first I’d be making them mostly for me. Chocolate is a favorite flavor of mine. Not that my visiting family friend wouldn’t enjoy chocolate too but he had his heart set on the Citrus Cookies. My thought about the triple chocolate cookie was … Is it going to be too chocolatey? You might be thinking nothing is too chocolatey! To me when there is too much I can’t appreciate the other additional flavors. This is not the case. It truly is a cookie with at least two distinct chocolate flavors, a hint of vanilla and crunch of toasted pecans. Enjoy this recipe I’ve revised slightly to make a smaller bounty without losing the brownie-like chocolatey cookie that amazingly hangs onto its moistness (unlike most brownies).
Now, chocolate chip cookies, I’m a connoisseur! I’ve been baking these since I was 10 or so and I’m … well, let’s not get into details. These are my favorites, Old Fashioned Chocolate Chips, probably because I had eaten them as a kid over and over again. But I must say my children and grandchildren feel the same even if I have to change up the recipe to accommodate those that like certain nuts or without nuts or even without chocolate chips.

When you have a love affair with food like I do it’s not unusual to gain a few unwanted pounds. Yep, I’m cutting back but that doesn’t mean I go without chocolate, or a sweet treat made with butter. You might already know oatmeal not only provides great nutritional value but suppresses your appetite. I’ve made so many delicious oatmeal recipes but was looking for something new for breakfast. (Yes, I eat oatmeal bars and cookies for breakfast.) Muffins are good and I came upon a recipe by Epicurious. I liked the butter and buttermilk ingredients, and knew this was going to be a rich tasting muffin. But I wanted chocolate! I made some changes and call this a version of the original recipe. Thank you Epicurious.
The moistest chocolate layer cake you’ll ever bake! Not too sweet and just the right amount of chocolate taste. So says my taste tester! What’s the secret? Sour cream and brown sugar add the amazing moisture, and the chocolate … use your very best unsweetened cocoa along with the best vanilla to achieve the just right taste.
This was just what I was craving. Perfect!
