Chunky Chocolate Pudding

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. This chunky version, the one I sifted through dozens and dozens just to get that oomph I’ve always been yearning for, is chocolaty but not too heavy, indulgent yet not overly rich.

Disappearing Marshmallow Brownies

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

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

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.

Devil’s Food Delight

Anyone will delight in this recipe. The best thing about it is the fact that it’s actually a breeze to make! There's no denying that it tastes sensational, but it also happens to have so many other phenomenal things going for it that I just have to share with y’all.

A good devil's food cake recipe is, without a doubt, one of the most versatile things ever. Think cupcakes for any occasions, chocolate sheet cake for a children’s party, and layer cake for the grown-ups, just to name a few.  Sprinkles and frosting with sugar on top wouldn’t be so bad of an idea, or some whipped cream and some berries, perhaps?

Chocolate Chip and Orange Muffins

There's something funny about muffins. They can be something nourishing that you eat in the morning, and they can also be an addictive dessert.

As a kid, I often requested muffins for breakfast. My mom always just thought I was trying to practice healthy eating at a tender age, and that I never wanted to leave home with my stomach empty, failing to realize I eat one muffin too many most mornings.

Snicker Bars

If you still don't know what my favorite candy bar is, you obviously haven’t been paying enough attention. Boohoo.

It’s Snickers®. I’m head over heels crazy about the chocolate, peanut, nougat, and caramel combo. I’ve mentioned it a million times, so I’m just gonna dive in head first and make my own homemade Snickers bars.

Chocolate Rum Ice Cream

I’m gonna be honest with you right off the bat. I haven’t tried this recipe yet myself. But since I’m planning on spending some quality time in my kitchen this weekend, I thought I might as well share the recipe with you now.

I’ve come across recipes like this one before and I always see people raving about it. So I decided to hop in on the bandwagon and make a batch to see what all the fuss was about.

Brownie Peanut Butter Bites

If you love brownies and peanut butter, this recipe will blow your hair back.

The idea is pretty simple. Just buy miniature chocolate covered peanut butter cups and you just press them into the brownie batter.

The brownie layer is fudgy and chewy, while the peanut butter layer is soft and dense. This will be a hit at any special occasions, weekend gatherings, and practically anytime you please! They will be gobbled up in a few minutes so make sure you whip up several batches.

White Chocolate Scones

You can pronounce scone in two ways, it’s either "Skon" or "Skoan". These treats are said to have its roots from Scotland and are closely related to the griddle baked flatbread called bannock. Initially, they were whipped up using oats, shaped into a large round, scored into four to six triangles, and then they are cooked on a griddle either over an open fire or on top of the stove.

How the term ‘scone’ was dubbed is as unclear as its precise origins. Some claim that the name can be traced back to where the Kings of Scotland were crowned, the Stone (Scone) of Destiny, while others say the name comes from the Dutch word "schoonbrood" ("schoon" stands for clean, while "brood" for bread), or from the German word "schonbrot", which means 'fine or beautiful bread'. And then there are those who claim it comes from the Gaelic 'sgonn', which is a shapeless mass or large mouthful.
