Has anyone else seen these strange savory “jams” that are a thing now? I won’t lie, I still think they’re a little strange. Delicious yes, strange, also yes. But I’m a fan! Especially of anything bacon. And since maple bacon is also a wondrous thing, I thought this was a great combination! I basically just adapted my tomato onion jam (recipe made for the juicy lucy burger) to use bacon instead of tomatoes, and use maple syrup in addition to some water. It’s pretty simple, and was a hit at our New Year’s Eve party! They went on Brunch Burger Bombs, recipe…

Continue ReadingI 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…

I hadn’t gotten around to typing this up from our last D&D night, but I think the timing is perfect–this is an awesome crockpot recipe for the holidays! I’m actually going to try these out with another jelly flavor as an appetizer for hosting Thanksgiving this year, so I’ll let you know how that goes. These crockpot jelly bbq meatballs are about the weirdest things I’ve ever seen, but they’re also one of the most delicious things I’ve ever tasted. I’m not sure who would have ever thought–grape jelly + bbq sauce, yum! But boy, am I sure glad that…

Onto the third recipe in my series of mini cheesecakes! I’ve really been on a dessert kick…with these four recipes, Monday as and before that cookie dough icing brownies and reverse strawberry shortcake. I hope I’m helping to fatten you up for the cold winter ahead! But first we gotta get through fall. I say “get through” as if fall isn’t my favorite season! Autumn leaves, crisp sweater weather, walks with the pup, and all those fall recipes…what’s not to love? Actually it’s good that I mentioned the reverse strawberry shortcake, because here’s the perfect suggestion! Leftover strawberry soup from the reverse strawberry…

I hope that a lot of things on my blog look tasty. But if you’re feeling ambitious, THIS IS THE RECIPE FOR YOU. Note that with all the different components, it’s not really what I would consider an “easy” recipe. It’s definitely less stressful if tackled with a kitchen partner, or having made some of the ingredients in advance. A bunch of components can be made for other recipes earlier in the week, so this can be an awesome clean out the fridge recipe. Make the juicy lucy burger earlier in the week and save up the bacon jam. Make a tasty salami…

Originally posted January 3, 2016 as “countdown to new year’s: chocolate tart;”. Updated November 20, 2024 for content and clarity. I originally made this tart for New Year’s Eve back in 2016 and now, 8 years later, I’m revisiting my classic chocolate tart recipe (spoiler alert: it holds up!). This wasn’t exactly my first post (that was cheddar pepper popcorn) on the blog (back then tipsychocochip), but it was the first chocolate-overload post I made. So in celebration of my 500th post on Best with Chocolate, I wanted to glam it up and even add a raspberry layer to make…
