I have been reluctant to put whoopie pies on this site for some time. They seem to be everywhere already and I prefer to be on the front end of waves whenever possible. You may not see them here again for some time, and if/when you do, I promise a new spin. I decided to add […]
Halloween is just a couple of days away. This seems like the perfect time to bring you candy apples as the Treat of the Week. I was a child in the period before all of the candy scares (which, by the way, are mostly myth). My trick or treat bag almost always included homemade popcorn balls, Rice […]
Thank goodness someone comes up with unusual holidays and celebrations or we might miss our chance to celebrate the chocolate cupcake. Today, October 18, is the day. You can celebrate it by buying some if you don’t have time, but better would be to make some. Today we offer up our favorite chocolate cupcake recipe. This recipe is […]
We have finally made it to fall in Dallas.Mid-eighties means fall and that is fine with me. A month ago it was 20 degrees warmer outside. It isn’t quite sweater weather, but I’m also not sweating through my clothes on the way to my car. To me, no food welcomes fall like apples. I love […]
This has been a big week for us around here. Back to school and bakery plans have kept us incredibly busy day to day. Toss in the blog and social media and the hopper was just about at capacity. We will do our best to keep the good stuff coming. I’ve decided to express my […]
S’mores say summer. They say lots of other things, too… like gooey, yummy, rich and chocolatey. National S’mores Day is next week and we are taking this opportunity to bring you our version of this classic treat as the Treat of the Week. For me, the chocolate must be somewhat soft and melty for the s’more to […]
Ah, the lure of chocolate! How can this magical food be? Food, treat, mood enhancer… I often wonder about food and how it came to be. Who, for example, first decided it would be a good idea to crack open the football-shaped pod of a cacao tree, dig out the insides and let it ferment before […]
I feel sure that way back in the 80’s when Bill Cosby was doing those chocolate pudding commercials he never dreamed that there would be a National Chocolate Pudding Day. Alas, there is, and it is tomorrow. To celebrate (sort of) I submit my cooked chocolate pudding recipe. To be clear, this is no boxed […]
Chocolate lovers rejoice! I made this one especially for you. This is one of the most requested cookies we make. I believe part of the allure is the identity crisis this cookie suffers. It dances dangerously on the line between cookie and brownie. It is crispy and crinkly on the outside and oh so soft […]
I am sorry to say there is no project today… just information. There was so much to share this week that I couldn’t fit it all. I decided instead to give you a mixed basket of stuff to consider. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRTkCHE1sS4&t=16s I love Veruca Salt from the original Willie Wonka movie. I cannot think of Easter […]
