Tarheel Pie

Tarheel Pie by Carolinaheartstrings

Looky, looky what I found. A chocolate pie that bears the name of my state. Coincidence. . . . . I think not. It’s fate baby. Earlier this month I blogged about the nickname the state of North Carolina carries, The Tarheel State and the “legends” and reasons behind that naming. One of them being the pine forests and large…

Goo Goo Brownie Pizza

Goo Goo Brownie Pizza by Carolinaheartstrings

This is a great treat! It is the combination of all the ingredients that makes those the real Goo Goo Clusters so yummy. The nuts, the chocolate, the caramel and of course the marshmallow. My fellow family members are not lovers of marshmallow so I decided to omit that particular part for this easy, delicious, gooey dessert pizza.

Chocolate Orange Chocolate Crescents

Chocolate Orange Chocolate Crescents by Carolinaheartstrings

Here’s a “cheater’s” favorite of mine for chocolate crescents. There are lots of variations out there but the way I make them allows me to indulge in two favorite flavors: chocolate AND orange. Simple and tasty! Be sure to use mini chips, it really allows for a more even distribution of the chocolate!

Chocolate Shortbread Ravioli

Chocolate Shortbread Ravioli by Carolinaheartstrings

I don’t know what I like best about this recipe – either the chocolate-raspberry filling or the cute look of the finished result. Unlike real raviolis these are crisp and not soft. They were fun to make and fun to serve. I also experimented with some other fillings including a cheesecake mixture but for this post I am using…

Chocolate Heart Cake

Chocolate Heart Cake by Carolinaheartstrings

In honor of Valentine’s day and since for February we decided to make all chocolate sweets, I thought I would use the wonderful heart baking pans that Alessa gave me a couple of years ago. The idea behind the pan is that you bake two layers, fit them together and there is a tunnel you fill with a mixture that becomes the heart…

S'mores Cupcakes

S'mores Cupcakes by Carolinaheartstrings

I love s’mores and this cupcake has the marshmallow-chocolaty taste that reminds me of them. I made this for my son’s monthly bake sale fund raiser and believe me – not all of them made it to the bake sale!

Aunt Betty's Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

Aunt Betty's Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars by Carolinaheartstrings

To be honest with you, my aunt’s recipe was chocolate chip cookies, not bars, but I decided to make them into bars one evening when I wanted something sweet and did not want to bake endless pans of cookies (her recipe makes about 70 cookies). I used to make these cookies all the time when I was a teenager and I have not made her…
