Chocolate Pecan Carmelitas Serves about 18 AdaptedRead more
These are one of the cookies I made last week for Carroll Cafe. Now I have to confess that I don’t like eggnog. But every year Sister likes to get a carton of eggnog for the season, and usually cuts it with milk because it’s too rich on its own. So there’s typically at leastRead more

I didn’t used to be a cake person. When Sister and I were little we always chose ice cream cakes for our birthdays, and not the new modern kind that have cold cake at the bottom, just straight up ice cream in the shape of a cake with a ganache on top. So when askedRead more
This was my first attempt at fudge. It was a great recipe, very easy and delicious! I’d definitely like to try some other variations, maybe some darker chocolate, some with nuts, maybe a swirl of peanut butter. Whatever variations you decide to do, this is a great base, and great on it’s own in itsRead more

Combined with some condensed milk, this is a rich, decadent treat that really is as easy as pie. A delicious chocolate base topped with a sweet toasted coconut macaroon flavoredRead more
These cookies are as spectacularly decadent as they sound. A rich chocolatey, chewy cookies, with a touch of peanut butter…it’s a wonderful combination. Be sure not to over-bake these cookies since they’ll dry out and be slightly less delicious. The type of chocolate you use will really influence the outcome, so go with your favorite.Read more
My adorable cousin turned 3 yesterday, and to celebrate, I made her this decadently chocolatey cake. As my uncle said, “This is the best chocolate cake I’ve ever had!” And indeed it is.
