Chocolate Toffee Bars

Well, today is my last day at my job. It was a good job, but just not anything I am passionate about. I felt God leading me to leave and pursue some of my passions. I am nervous, scared, anxious and excited to see what the future holds. Not sure what I will be moving […]

Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Cheesecake Bites

These have got to be one of my very favorite party desserts. They are so cute and so delicious and really wow your friends and family. Making them is a bit of a process, just because you have to allow time for baking, cooling, refrigeration and setting of the chocolate. However, it’s not a difficult […]

Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies

Sorry for yet again another dessert. The week before the youth retreat we were SO busy that I didn’t cook anything, and last week I had a virus. Tested negative for the flu, but I’m thinking the test may have been wrong because I was couch bound for several days and only got up to […]

S’mores Truffles

I absolutely love anything s’mores. There is just something about that chocolate graham crackery goodness. I found these on my friend Liesl’s blog, Liesl’s Confection Dissection. I can’t begin to tell you how phenomonal these truffles were!! They were so delicate tasting and so full of flavor and sweetness…so decadent. These were EXTREMELY messy to […]

Cookie Dough Truffles

I wanted something special to make for the youth retreat that Adam & I were privileged to lead this past weekend, so I decided I would make truffles. I made these cookie dough truffles and also some s’mores truffles that you will see later this week. They were the biggest hit! Everyone gobbled them up […]

All American S’mores Cookies

I have been chomping at the bit to make these cookies, and what’s more American than s’mores? So I made these for July the 4th and they were absolutely amazing!! But watch out because they are super addictive! I ate way too many of these this weekend. They have a nice slightly salty/sweet component to […]

S’mores Brownies

I also made these s’mores brownies for our party. I found them on Joy the Baker. These brownies are out of this world! Perfect for a summer treat when you don’t have a campfire nearby. These are so decadent and I love the little crunch from the graham crackers. They are fudgy, which is my […]

Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies

My mom asked me to make a dessert for my Godmother’s Birthday. I didn’t want to do the typical cake or cupcake because I feel like I have been making those a lot lately. So I went in search of either a bar or brownie recipe and came across this gem on LovestoEat. I got […]

Devil’s Food Cupcakes

My parents and brother gave up chocolate for Lent and since it’s over now, I wanted to make them something extra chocolatey and delicious. Devil’s food cake sounded like the perfect thing to quench their chocolately cravings. With half the batter I tried an experiment, but it didn’t work out. I will be trying this […]

Chocolate Chip Cupcakes with Chocolate Buttercream

Adam absolutely loves cupcakes. He adores them. So, naturally for his birthday he requested that I make cupcakes. He said that he wanted chocolate chip cupcakes with chocolate frosting, so I obliged. I had seen this recipe for chocolate chip cupcakes in Martha Stewart Living in February and thought it would be perfect. It turned […]
