No-Bake Rice Krispie Toffee Fudge Candy Bars

1 week. 7 days.  Some amount of hours that does not feel like enough. That’s how much time there is until Thanksgiving.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m so excited for the holiday, but boy did things get crazy really fast!  It seems like just yesterday I was in the summer lull and just like that [...]

Spring Cleaning Chocolate & Peanut Butter Lover’s Bark

One week down and I’m feeling really good about this working from home thing.  I’m sure that some of the beginner’s high will die down after a while, but I’m glad to be off to such a productive start!  Sure, I might have left out half of the baking soda in a cookie recipe and [...]

Heath Bar Blondies with Brown Butter Frosting

Did you know that brown butter smells like heaven? Yup, it pretty much does. But then again, so do fresh baked cookies, the combination of melted butter and chocolate, and homemade caramel. Matt referred to our apartment as a fudgery recently, and although I don’t actually make fudge, the meaning behind his comment was true.  [...]

Sweet and Salty Party

Do you need to eat something sweet after each meal?  Do you ever finish dessert and realize you crave a bite of something salty?  I think it is that need for the balance of sweet and salty on our palates that makes the combination so addicting.  I’ve always been a fan of chocolate covered pretzels, [...]

3 Reasons to Make Truffles

I had a huge problem on Saturday. There was almost an entire pint of organic heavy whipping cream in my fridge and it was about to expire. The horror! But I prevailed.  I went through cookbooks and blogs searching for the perfect recipe to experiment with.  Whipped cream, ganache, caramel… for some reason I just [...]

Blueberry Pretzel Clusters

There is a place at the Jersey Shore (not that Jersey Shore) that sells the most amazing chocolates.  Every summer I look forward to a few trips for chocolate clusters filled with high quality fillings like caramel, nuts and marshmallows.  On a good day, my grandfather will leave a box of them out in the [...]

Ooey Gooey Filled Chocolate Chip Cookies with a Crunch

You know I have a weakness for holiday candy. These weren’t even on sale but I had to buy them.  My sister pointed out how pretty the color was and I agreed.  Plus, when was the last time I had a Peep? Trust me, it’s been too long.  Never mind the fact that I don’t [...]

Twix Gone Wrong

For Valentine’s Day, I thought it would be fun for Matt and me to make a homemade version of one of his favorite candies, Twix Bars.  I’d seen a ton of great-looking recipes around the blog world and thought it would be a good idea to take ideas from them but make my own version.  [...]

For the Chocoholics

Every time I visit my parents, my mom and I email constantly the week before about what we will bake.  There are always too many things for us to try, so it’s usually a pretty fattening special looking recipe that makes the cut.  Last weekend we made Picky Palate’s Chocolate Chip Oreo Cookie Sandwiches and [...]
