Dazzling, Skinny Chocolate Cherry Bundt CakeDeep dark chocolate batter embraces chunks of ruby-colored cherries in this elegant cake. The light crimson glaze adds a touch of blush to the top and the overall flavor hints of chocolate-covered cherries. This is another one of my “no time to bake” cakes because I’m starting with a cake mix. Although there are a lot of ingredients… |

Open Faced Peach Mango Cobbler w/Crystallized GingerPeaches and mangoes are wonderful and bright with natural, juicy sweetness, unmatched by many. This cobbler is a little more figure friendly in that there is only one crust as opposed to the traditional two. Ginger makes a notable appearance in this recipe for a natural spiciness and the luxury of being one of the super spices and… |

The dry, crunchy cookie contained no fat, but was nourishment for the Roman Legion. They were dipped in wine or any other liquid available. Because of the convenience of the Biscotti, the… |

Almond BiscottiCrunchy biscotti are my go-to coffee dunkers. The sweet toasts make a perfect hostess or holiday gift besides. This recipe features almonds but pecans or hazelnuts would be fine, with vanilla extract in place of almond. |

Pumpkin Cookies with IcingI served these at my October book club along with the Pumpkin Macadamia Bars. They were good, and the icing makes them attractive, but the Pumpkin Macadamia Bars were the bigger hit. That said, they make an attractive combination and it's fun to try one of each. So if you are looking for a nice combination of sweets to put out on… |

Just throw everything in your blender and puree until smooth. It takes less than 5 minutes. How easy is that? More importantly, it is absolutely delicious; and dare I say it, downright impressive.… |

Molasses CookiesA modernized version of my grandmother's (Eva M. Koehler) molasses cookies--without the pearl ash. One of the great cookie treats of all time. This version is soft, chewy and more cake-like than what you will typically see. The egg wash topping is a truly lost art. For a lot of people this cookie will immediately transport you… |

Better Than Sex BrowniesI LOVE LOVE LOVE to BAKE!!! It is almost certainly the primarily favored thing I share from my kitchen. This recipe is fairly easy to make even for novice bakers but will have people thinking you toiled away making it. If you chose to top with frosting you can make your own or buy one off the shelf & make that your little secret.… |

Andes Fudge CookiesThese cookies have a slight crisp to the outside but a soft, gooey brownie like texture on the inside. They are intense, guaranteed to please any chocolate lover! I built this recipe after studying about ten or so variations, putting together what I thought would make the perfect cookie and if I haven't made I'm pretty darn close!… |

Aunt Betty's Chocolate Chip Cookie BarsTo 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… |
