    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?

    So I was supposed to have volleyball tonight.  But lucky for you all, instead you get another recipe because it’s snowing and surprisingly dangerous for the less than 2″ of snow on the ground.  But it’s that wet, slippery kind.  I turned around before even going a mile to one of the major roads, and I passed at least 6 cars pulled over on the side of the road, and two in an accident right outside the complex.  Jeez.  And I don’t have an all-wheel drive vehicle, I have a sedan, but I also grew up in the Northeast and feel…

    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 I originally made this tart for New Year’s Eve back in 2016 and now, 8 years later, I’m revisiting my classic chocolate tart recipe (spoiler alert: it holds up!).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…
