People. These are the fudgiest brownies that I’ve ever had. Delicious, chocolatey, fudgy, nutty, rich brownies. This may seem crazy to some, but ever since I was a kid I haven’t liked brownies with nuts in them. As these are made with hazelnut flour (ground up hazelnuts) they impart a nice nutty flavor without chunks of nuts. […]

Raspberry Streusel Bars
These raspberry bars are pretty amazing. David said they are the best dessert bars he’s ever had, and they just so happen to be gluten-free. Fresh raspberries mixed with raspberry jam makes a yummy fruit center, and the streusel topping is buttery, nutty deliciousness. from: The How Can It Be Gluten Free Cookbook makes: 16 […]
Lemon Lime Bars
I have to agree with Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito, “Curd is an ugly word for a delicious dessert”. As I’ve said in my lemon curd post, it is very versatile and can be used for a variety of things. This curd is smooth and tangy and is absolutely divine on top of the golden brown […]
Billionaire’s Shortbread
If you are hungry for a RICH dessert, why not make Billionaire’s Shortbread? (Please excuse my bad pun, ha ha.) I’m not sure why this particular recipe from Food & Wine is called Billionaire’s and not Millionaire’s shortbread. I think it might have to do with an upgrade from milk chocolate to dark chocolate, and […]
Dulce de Leche, Coconut & Chocolate Chip Magic Bars

Believe it or not, the original recipe called for crispy bacon to be added to give a bit of a salty kick. I decided […]
Cappuccino Frosted Brownies
These brownies are GOOD. But they are SWEET. As in, after the first bite your brain may start buzzing, sweet. The brownies themselves are delicious, but the cappuccino frosting, while delicious as well, is insanely sugary. The original recipe called for a 16 ounce bag of powdered sugar. I’m still thinking that had to be […]
German Chocolate-Pecan Pie Bars
If you are a fan of German chocolate cake and pecan pie, then you will like these. They are somewhat of a fusion of the two. They are very sweet, (a bit too sweet for me) but they are delicious and would be a fun dessert to have around Thanksgiving if you are bored of […]
Peanut Butter Crispy Bars
I had leftover Rice Krispies from when I made marshmallow crispy treats so I began flipping through my dessert books to see where else I could use them when I came across this yummy recipe. Glossy dark chocolate upon milk chocolate peanut butter upon candied crispy rice cereal? Sounds good to me! These are decadent […]
