Last year I posted a recipe for Gluten-Free BitterSweet Choc0late Decadence cookies which are truley decadent. Today I share a similar chocolate chocolate chip cookie which is a chocolate lover’s dream come true. What I love about this recipe is how easy the dough is to work with and how decadent the texture is. They literally melt in your mouth with each bite. Although I used semi-sweet chocolate chips, feel free to use any type of chocolate chips you like including peanut butter or mint. This recipe also calls for an optional 1/2 cup of chopped nuts. If you do decide to add nuts I suggest almonds, peanuts, macadamia, walnuts, or pecan. And if you happen to have any instant coffee on hand such as Starbucks Via, feel free to add 2 teaspoons to the dough as well. [click to continue…]

One of my m0st favorite desserts to make for Valentine’s Day or special occasions are molten lava cakes. If you’re not familiar with these special chocolate cakes you’re in for a real treat. Each cake is baked in individual cups (or cupcake tin) and served warm with a melt in your mouth chocolate liquid center (lava).
Don’t let the photo intimidate you from making these miniature decadent chocolate cakes from heaven. This recipe is really easy, quick to prepare and bake, forgiving, and will make you look like a rock-star. As a warning, if you dust them with a little powdered sugar, whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla or mint ice cream, you may earn a reputation as a “Dessert Diva” and will be required to make these every time company comes over. And if you are a guy making this for your sweetie… trust me on this, chocolate is the way to a woman’s heart. [click to continue…]

I have a small confession to make. I have a secret stash of Reese’s Mini Peanut Butter Cups on the top shelf of my pantry. I usually access it nightly after the kids have gone to bed. But today I had this thought.. wouldn’t these little peanut butter cups be so cute and so good inside a mini brownie? It would be just enough brownie to suspend the mini peanut butter cup just perfectly. Next thing I knew I was baking up a batch and popping them in my mouth. Heavenly.
The nice part about this recipe is that the baking time is only about 15 minutes and the batter can be prepared in a mixing bowl. No special mixer required. [click to continue…]

This recipe has been around longer than I have. Chances are your granny or great granny may have made this in the Depression era. Some may know it as “Wacky cake” or “Depression Cake”. During the Great Depression, someone figured out how to make a moist, delicious cake without eggs, milk, or butter because these ingredients were expensive and hard to get. I call this a timeless generational recipe – passed down from generation to generation.
Since then, this cake has become quite popular for people who are vegan or allergic to dairy… like my daughter, Abigail. She is allergic to dairy and like her mama, she loves her cake but can’t always eat it. This cake taste remarkably good with great flavor and texture – very similar to chocolate cakes made with boxed cake mix. [click to continue…]
