Need your chocolate fix? Well, it’s time to get slutty with all your favorite desserts! A chocolate chip cookie layer, followed by oreos, and topped off with a decadent layer of brownie. – – Slutty brownies bring me wayyyyy back to college. I think it was my friend Jackie who first introduced me…when we weren’t eating cookie dough straight out of the tub. Though of course with these you can always snitch some out of the tub while you’re making it. Two desserts for the price of one! Now of course, if you wanna be classy about it all, you can…

So I’m jumping back in with these adorable cookies in honor of my best friend getting married! She and her fiancé have been engaged for over 3 years, and now that they’re in the same country and finally living together (he was in med…

Light and minty green cookies, spotted with chocolate chips of course! The perfect chewy way to get your mint chocochip fix! – – It’s that time again! And by that I mean tasty recipes for co-worker’s birthdays, and for this round I bring you mint chocolate chip cookies! I love these because they’re the next step above the classic cookies I shared last week (check out oatmeal and chocolate chip). Something a little different, but perfect to share! Or stress eat, since we’re closing on our house this week! The recipe makes a good number too, probably around 30+…

Flaky buttery crust enfolding all the deliciousness of s’mores in a yummy, gooey center! – – I know it was supposed to be cookie week, and I promised you another cookie recipe! But it’s one of those weeks where everything possible that can go wrong does, so I hope you’ll forgive me for another delicious crescent roll dough recipe, and still a dessert! (Check out others like mini cake batter buns or apple pie crescents.) Don’t s’mores just remind you of summer camp and cool summer nights? Because those are the memories it invokes in me. We rarely make s’mores…

A light and silky irish cream mousse with a finesse of chocolate! Perfect for a light treat on a hot summer evening~ – – I needed to get back to my roots, and this is what this recipe does! Chocolate? Check. Tipsy? Check. Delicious? Check. I dare you to disagree! This recipe is definitely a little heavy on the irish cream flavor over the chocolate, but as I noted on the recipe card, you can always add more cocoa powder! This recipe is about as simple as you can get! All you need are 4 ingredients, a hand or stand mixer, and you can…

Luxurious, silky peanut butter pie on a chocolatey crust. Add some crunch pieces for an extra layer of texture! – – I have shared a peanut butter crunch pie recipe, but this one is a touch different. To start with, the previous recipe is for a miniature pie, and this one is for the full she-bang. Full luxury. An oreo crust, with a smooth, velvety peanut butter filling. It’s up to you how you decide to do the chocolate topping! The original recipe has you spread the chocolate as a layer across the top of the peanut butter pie, but I opted for more…

Buttery soft caramels wrapped in chocolate! Literally, what more could you want out of life? I actually won’t be sharing my caramel recipe today–it’s a long recipe that comes out only for special occasions! Plus you need some specialized equipment, namely a candy thermometer. But fear not! If you’re looking to make these at home, then kraft caramels split into two the long way work perfectly! Or you can always try one of those microwave caramels I pin to my Recipes – Candy board on Pinterest (link to my pinterest). I won’t link any directly here, because I haven’t tried them, and…

I pretty much only make “candies” for holidays. Typically they take a lot of work, and specialized equipment. I’ve slowly been building up my arsenal, and I actually just broke out these silicone molds for the first time! I got them from the annual secret santa last year with my high school friends. I forgot I had them until I was going through the pantry, and so obviously I had to find some yummies to try out! Plus I had Trader Joe’s dulche de leche (affiliate link) from the dulche de leche cheesecake I shared with you, and I wanted to use it another way.…

I think that if push comes to shove, these are my favorite truffles. I’ve always been a chocolate + raspberry fan, and besides, who doesn’t need a little liquor in their chocolate? It’s not like the name of this blog says anything about that. Noooooo. If you’re looking for a truffle recipe without coating, this is the one for you! You can also make matcha (green tea) white chocolate truffles, but I feel like this one is a little more universal in flavor palate. Read: not everyone knows about or is a huge fan of green tea. Dust these babies…

Orange orange orange! This was one of the first recipes that made me think I could make “fancy” truffles, and by that I mean coated truffles as opposed to the more homemade style that’s a firm ganache rolled in cocoa powder or powdered sugar. It’s the zest that really makes these orange-y! And they look adorable with some candied orange peel as garnish. If you’re in a pinch and don’t have another orange to zest, or used the rest of your peel to make those candied orange peels, then you can zest the boiled rind. It’s just a little harder…
