  • Chocolate Apples

    Chocolate Apples

    I’ve had a little extra ganache left over from a recent baking frenzy, and found there’s always something new I’ll eat chocolate on. This time, it’s chocolate apples! Ganache is very easy to make – in it’s simplest form, it is just chocolate chips, warm heavy cream, and a dash of salt. A standard batch…

  • Chocolate Raspberry Tarts

    Chocolate Raspberry Tarts

    Ever since making those raspberry filled chocolate cupcakes, I’ve been dreaming about them – particularly that raspberry filling. Not too sweet, not too tart… I’m tempted to eat the stuff by the spoonfuls! I resist… partly because I suspect I’d get some very disapproving looks thrown my way, but also because I’m just sure I…

How I fulfilled my Friday chocolate…

Plus, it only required one ingredient: bananas! Of course, I wanted the spruced up version: peanut butter & chocolate, too!…

  • No Bake Cake!

    No Bake Cake!

    Because my father is Lactose intolerant and Addicted to Publix’s birthday cake ice cream, I decided it was necessary to try these no milk cake batter truffles. They were delicious! But really, my father doesn’t like truffles, so I should have known these wouldn’t be a replacement. Instead, he’d rather eat a third a carton…
