I needed something fancy to decorate the equally fancy chocolate pie I was making for Valentine’s day. I really like the look of a mound of chocolate curls haphazardly sprinkled over the top of a dessert, so I gathered my ingredients and quickly threw some together. Ingredients 2 oz. semi-sweet chocolate 1 teaspoon vegetable shortening […]
As I was going through my saved cool posts to link to, I found another delicious sounding recipe from Delicious Delicious Delicious (go figure!). So anyway… check out this pie! The filling is banana and chocolate, which when baked smells somehow of caramel. I have not figured out why or how that can be the […]
The Taste Traveller is a consistently yummy blog that I like to peruse, and here’s a recent post that caught my attention… Chocolate chip espresso muffins, with a nice caffeine kick! I should call these Caffeine Kick Chocolate Chip Espresso Muffins. I don’t know about you, but I often need a little extra kick in […]
Editor’s Note: These decadent brownies were originally published for Valentines Day, but Mother’s Day is coming up, and wouldn’t Mom Just love some?? (hint hint) These decadent, rich, chocolaty treats are super simple to make, and never fail to impress anyone you make them for. My husband loves these, and requests them all the time. […]
I giggled reading the tales of homemade eclairs over at Made by Nichole. (I was over there looking at her clever crafting ideas for a post on Dabbled, and found this recipe, so I thought it would be a good one to share on Foodwhirl.) We made thick sweetened whip cream in a blender ( […]

I removed the refined sugar, added some dark chocolate, and now everyone loves it – even my sugar-eaters! A touch of espresso and a bit of vanilla delivers a lovely mocha flavor. This recipe […]
We’re loving this fun idea for an adult pudding… a delish looking Bailey’s Chocolate Pudding at Duh-licious! At first glance, this looks like a cup of dark chocolate hot cocoa, but take a closer look and you’ll find the ultimate after-dinner-dessert. Finally, a treat for the adults only– a simple, yet sinful take on a […]
My husband and son eat a granola bar for breakfast almost daily, and while I’m always stocked on the store bought ones, sometimes I like to make them from scratch. It’s an easy process — very kid-helping-friendly, too. And it takes an hour at most from start to finish (including 25 minutes bake time) The […]
Our spotlight this Valentines falls to a decadently yummy molten lava chocolate cake, brought to us by Culinary Musings! From Dhale: Valentine’s schmalentine’s. Personally, I don’t buy it. But for all you Lovey McLoversons out there, here is a decadent dessert that’s about as melty as your heart each time you gaze into the eyes […]
