Do you love chocolate covered strawberries? They're one of my weaknesses ... but add them onto of strawberry silk mousse and a layer of chocolate ganache - you have this amazing dessert. I made this dessert for Easter and I have to say it was probably one of the most amazing and delicious desserts I've… Continue reading Chocolate Covered Strawberry Pie

I had originally thought about making truffles and then considered a chocolate dipped cookie ... then I thought what about my something my husband loves - peanut butter, pretzels and chocolate! That's where this treat comes… Continue reading Chocolate and Peanut Butter Pretzels
Last week, my company had their holiday luncheon and I always look for a new recipe to make and came across this recipe for caramel chocolate shortbread. I love Twix bars and this totally reminded me of them...though better since I accidentally browned the butter while making caramel. It really amp'd up the flavor and… Continue reading Caramel Chocolate Shortbread
It's been awhile since I made donuts and since I have a bunch of chocolate left over from Choctoberfest, I figured it was fitting to make chocolate donuts. These were so good that I don't think I'll ever made another chocolate donut again...plus you can't go wrong with glaze and crumbs. They're the consistency of… Continue reading Chocolate Crumb Donuts

I'm kicking off #Choctoberfest with bite-sized pieces of delicious fudge! I figured I would start with the "healthiest" recipe and then it's all downhill from here. It's the perfect sweet treat when you're craving chocolate. I could only eat one piece - it's a very rich treat. One of things I liked with this recipe… Continue reading Dark Chocolate Coconut Oil Fudge #Choctoberfest

It's the first Thursday of the month and that means it's time to Fill the Cookie Jar! This month's theme is fall or halloween. Fall for me usually means pumpkin, apple and comfort food, but lately it's been running here, running there, and running everywhere. So, when I decided on a recipe, I needed something… Continue reading Chocolate Peanut Butter Chia Bars – #FilltheCookieJar
I'm loving everything salted lately....and these cookies are to die for!! I had all intentions of making them for last week's Fill the Cookie Jar, but I didn't read the recipe fully and when I went to make them, I didn't have enough unsweetened chocolate. Fail! So after sending my husband to pick up another… Continue reading Salted Dark Chocolate Espresso Cookies
