    December 23, 2016

    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,…

    December 21, 2016

    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…

    December 19, 2016

    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…

    December 16, 2016

    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…

  • candied orange peel;

    December 14, 2016

    Have you ever had candied orange peels?  They’re chewy and oh so orange-y, and perfect little strips to snack on when you want to be bad. I feel that they’re an indulgence best nibbled on.  I’m never going to shove a…

    December 9, 2016

    Yup, I said it.  Apple. Pie. Moonshine.  I’m putting this warning up-front and center: BE CAREFUL.  THIS STUFF DOES NOT TASTE LIKE ALCOHOL.  In the best way possible.  It’s made with spyritus vodka, which is about the most alcoholic thing you can…

    December 7, 2016

    So I’ve seen recipes for “cauliflower” substitute everything recently on pinterest (click for my tipsychocochip board on pinterest!), and to be honest I’ve been fairly skeptical.  But I have been trying to eat healthier lately and I wanted a grilled cheese sandwich,…

    December 2, 2016

    They opened another Founding Farmers out in Tyson’s corner, right outside the mall and we’ve had the luxury of being able to try it (1) when it first opened, (2) a second time as they were updating their service and…

  • vanilla honey ice cream;

    November 30, 2016

    Ever want to impress people?  Homemade ice cream is definitely the way to go!  I love this ice cream recipe for three reasons: (1) because it’s a “no churn” recipe, aka doesn’t need an ice cream machine; (2) because of the…
