Peanut Butter Cream PieThis peanut butter cream pie is made extra yummy by having a chocolate cream base and a meringue topping. It’s a little bit more work than some of the recipes I’ve posted but it is well worth it. And hard as it is to resist, it is best when left to set up and then cool completely in the refrigerator. |

Chocolate Tapioca PuddingTake old-fashioned tapioca pudding to a grand level for a special Valentine dessert - add chocolate! Be patient as you cook the pudding, it can take 20 to 30 minutes of stirring to melt the chocolate and reach proper consistency without scorching. The pudding will thicken as it cools. |

German Drop CookiesPecan-laden German Drop Cookies are reminiscent of Mexican wedding cookies, but I like these even better for the cinnamon-laced powdery topping. You can make ahead and freeze the dough if well wrapped, then thaw and bake at a later date. This recipe appeared in Relish Magazine a few years ago. |

Chewy Crunchy Double Chocolate BrowniesThese brownies are my all-time favorite. They have two unusual ingredients: brown sugar and coconut, which add interesting taste variations and make them more moist than run-of-the-mill brownies. Be sure not to over-bake. They will be done in 20-25 minutes if using a bright aluminum pan; adjust time or temperature appropriately if… |

Oatmeal BlondiesI couldn't decide what to make one day. Did I want Blondies or Oatmeal Cookies. Why not both? The bars came out exactly as I wanted them to. Moist on the inside like a good Blondie should be, with a nice chewy texture from the rolled oats. I made these with chocolate chips and cinnamon, a great combination. Other nice additions would… |

Spice Cake with Whipped CreamA perfect fall dessert that will be enjoyed for years to come! Make it different by adding spices to your whipped cream or add raisins other dried fruits or nuts to the cake. Optionally, one could ice the cake with cream cheese frosting. I chose to top it with whipped cream, because the cream cheese frosting overpowered the cake the… |

Cookie Butter BlondiesI am so in love with Cookie Butter, I want to incorporate it into everything I make for the rest of my life. Okay, maybe not, but it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. I decided to mess around with my Blondies recipe, to turn them into Cookie Butter Blondies! Replacing some of the butter with Chocolate Chip Cookie Butter is how… |

Old-Fashioned Peanut Butter Crisscross CookiesPeanut butter cookie recipes abound, but none of them came close to rekindling memories of the favorite from my youth - until I came across this one in an Old Farmer's Almanac. The first batch I made convinced me the recipe was the one from my early baking years. Ah - answered prayers! |

Williams Sonoma Triple Chocolate BrowniesThis is a very popular recipe that I simplified a bit without losing any of it's goodness. You can serve these when you feel like a dark chocolate cake but don't have time to hassle with it. They make a wonderful end to any meal! They are super chocolaty, so they go really well with a scoop of vanilla or coffee ice cream! |
