Chocolate Legos?
September 26, 2014
A recent study indicated that 89% of chocolate buyers purchase it as a reward or treat, and 87% consider it as a regular snack, whereas 83% of them take into consideration the size of chocolate candy packages to know the best bang for the buck, and 72% opt for chocolate to enhance their mood or to get an energy kick.
The giants in the chocolate industry know the significance of consumer concerns. No wonder miniature versions of chocolate bars came surfacing to help generate sales within the growing snacking sector.
Chocolate Chip Meringue Cookies Recipe
September 24, 2014
As a kid, I grew up not so fond of meringue cookies. The ones my mother got from the store always reminded me of Styrofoam. I always thought they didn’t have enough flavor to even bother with.
Then, in the past few years, I started playing around with chocolate left overs. Those combined with some egg whites would always make a meringue cookie worth drooling over. They have a great texture and deep chocolate flavor.

Chocolate Craving Mysteries Debunked

Chocolate Buttercream Frosting Recipe
September 17, 2014
This Chocolate Buttercream frosting is what dreams are made of, I’m telling you. Fluffy, creamy, smooth, rich, indulgent, chocolaty, head-tilting good. The melt-in-your-mouth sensation screams pure love.
It might turn out pale, but it doesn’t make it less chocolaty. The pale color might be just because of all the whipping of the butter. The rich chocolate flavor may take you by surprise. Take my word for it.

Chocolate pudding, to me, will always be dreamy. Something I will always be willing to spare some space for in my stomach even after a pretty heavy meal.

Disappearing Marshmallow Brownies
September 3, 2014
I have been using my oven more than I usually do, but I ain’t complaining! This dessert is outrageously decadent & comforting any day of the week.
Moist fudge brownies with marshmallows. It’s not a true “brownie”, though, it’s a blondie! Stopping while there’s still some left in your plate is almost impossible! It’s sooo rich, so a glass of milk or coffee might come in handy!

Creamy Mocha Fudge
August 27, 2014
I swear by the combination of coffee and chocolate in desserts. I love the depth of flavor when coffee and chocolate go together. They’re divine even individually, alright. But they just go so perfectly together it’s almost sinful!
I know my friends would go gaga over this, and when I make them several batches I know they just wouldn’t stop until trays are emptied. Indeed, the inventor of mocha should be sainted.

Super Chocolate Sorbet
August 13, 2014
Summer is still around, except of course if you’re from the Land Down Under or Antarctica. And I got myself some new appliances the past weekend, ice cream maker included. Yay adulthood! Yay me!
What I’m sharing with you today though is not, I repeat, NOT a heavy chocolate ice cream. This is a sorbet (chocolate and water). Light, refreshing, but very, very rich! I wasn’t really holding my breath for something spectacular when I was making it, but then I took a spoonful… And another one. And another one. It was head-tilting good! And it even got better after freezing.
