In a year when people don’t agree on much, I think we can all agree on one thing: 2020 has been a weird year. #Choctoberfest 2020 was a smaller group than we’ve had in previous years, but our blogger friends gave us some delicious, decadent chocolate recipes. Here’s the complete list if you’d like to […]
#Choctoberfest is a time for chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate. Earlier this month, my mother came to my home so we could test out some new chocolate recipes. I was excited when she brought chocolate cookie dough with M&Ms, since M&M cookies are one of my favorites. My mother first saw this recipe from The […]
My KitchenAid stand mixer hasn’t been getting enough use lately! If it’s going to take up that much counter space, it needs to pull a little more weight around here. So, I decided to compile a list of delicious chocolate recipes that use a stand mixer (thanks to some help from a few blogger friends). […]
Whoopie pies are a treat our family has made and enjoyed way before they became a ‘thing’ a few years ago. Today you can find recipes for so many flavors! My cousin recently requested chocolate chip whoopie pies, because they are her favorite flavor. However I could not find a true whoopie pie recipe anywhere […]
Peanut butter eggs are one of my favorite Easter treats, but I seriously struggle to get a nice, pretty chocolate coating on the outside. They always turnout into such a mess for me no matter how careful I try to be. So when I found these pumpkin jack-o-lateen silicon molds last fall, a lightbulb went off […]
I’ve been wanting to try making homemade marshmallows for a few years now, but I always thought it would be too hard. Okay, maybe not hard, but sticky. I imagined that homemade marshmallows would be finicky about setting up. I imagined they would deflate after a few hours. I imagined my entire kitchen covered in […]
It’s #Choctoberfest this week, which means it is a perfect time for a cookie with now one but two different types of chocolate. Hershey’s recently posted a “design your own” cookie recipe, so I decided to make something the whole family would love by using white chocolate peanut butter cups. My husband and daughter Jess […]
Today is the first day of #Choctoberfest (have you entered the giveaway yet?) so I knew I needed to share my favorite cake recipe of all time. I actually can’t believe I haven’t shared this recipe yet! I absolutely love to bake and I love making treats for special occasions like birthday, bridal showers, and […]
It’s the best time of year: #Choctoberfest! I think we can all agree on one thing this year… 2020 needs more chocolate. #Choctoberfest is our annual celebration of chocolate recipes, now in it’s 6th year. I’ve teamed up with some talented food bloggers to share dozens of milk, dark, and white chocolate dishes for this […]
If you like a dense, rich cupcake with a buttery coffee-flavored frosting, this recipe is for you! I started developing this cupcake recipe back when #Choctoberfest was going on, but got too busy to finish finessing it. My husband’s office really enjoys when I develop new recipes! These cupcakes have a strong chocolate flavor and […]
#Choctoberfest was an awesome event again. This year, we had over 70 bloggers take part, and collectively we posted over 300 chocolate recipes! My taste buds are happy (even though my waistline will suffer as I work through this list!) THANK YOU to our event sponsors this year, as well as to all the bloggers […]
I have to admit, that I’m usually not an overnight oats or oatmeal person. But if it’s chocolate-flavored, I’m on board! Plus, I love the combination of chocolate and orange, as is evident by all the other chocolate and orange flavored recipes on this blog, including Orange Chocolate Chip Bread, Chocolate Orange Cookies, and Mini […]
I love trying new variation on old favorites! Growing up, my mother use to make cookie cups with a peanut butter cookie dough and a miniature peanut butter cup. My sister and I always wanted to help our mom in the kitchen when she was baking cookies. I know I always enjoying getting to stick […]
If you love a rich, fudgy brownie recipe, this is one you should try out! I’m not a vegan by any stretch of the imagination, but I do love to experiment with vegan baking. It’s awesome to bring a delicious vegan treat to a gathering so everyone can enjoy it, even friends who don’t eat […]
I have been itching to use my ice cream maker more often. I have the KitchenAid attachment, but it is usually stored in my chest freezer, which is out in my storage shed. You know how it is: out of sight, out of mind. But the other day, we were driving home from running errands […]
Do not adjust your screen color… those Hershey kisses really are orange. They are the “caramel pretzel” variety. I just happened to find the caramel pretzel kisses at a local grocery store and thought they would be a wonderful addition to the chocolate cookie for this year’s #Choctoberfest! Because these kisses are caramel instead of […]
