Apparently I’m on a caramel-y kick, which is fine with me because my Nana loved the stuff (as I mentioned in the Werther’s cookies recipe) so it’s got a special place in my heart/stomach. This is a great simple recipe which spreads out during baking creating a chewy yet thin, chocolatey, toffee-y, cookie goodness. Continue reading

Incredible Rocky Road Cookies
I saw a picture for these cookies and they looked so amazing that I had to do some hunting to find the recipe so that I could try them. Upon going through the ingredients, I was surprised to find out that they were gluten-free and instantly became quite skeptical…how could cookies be good without flour?! I kept an open mind and made them, and, I don’t know how they do it, but they are incredible! Continue reading
Blissful Butterscotch Bars
Warning: these are dangerously good. I’m house/offspring sitting family friends and Georgia (from Georgia’s Blueberry Cake) and I went through 5 cookbooks before we chose this recipe. They take a while to make, and need tons of time to cool (like 3+ hours), but they are completely worth it…just don’t do what I did and listen to Georgia’s impatient 15 year old brother and cut them too soon! Continue reading
Official Delightful Nanaimo Bars
There are many phrases I like to live by, ‘Do it right’ is one of them. So when I decided to make Nanaimo bars, I searched and found the official recipe from Nanimo, British Columbia. It’s an easy, no-bake recipe, and since the first time I made them, they have been a favourite chocolate craving of my mother’s and mine. Continue reading
Melting Chocolate Chip Meringues
These meringues are a light, sweet, chocolately escape. They are simple to make, melt in your mouth, and are a great dessert or snack. My mom makes these every year for Passover, but I eat them all year round. Enjoy! Continue reading
Perfect Chocolate Pecan Pie
I must preface with acknowledging that I did not make this (yet). My mom made this delicious pie for dessert and I knew that I couldn’t wait until I made it myself to share it, because it’s that good. I am not a pie person, but pecan pie is one of the types I do eat. So take that pie and add chocolate, my favourite ingredient, and I am there with a fork! Continue reading
Melt-In-Your-Mouth Marble Cheesecake Squares
I’m all for desserts and decadent snacks, but I sometimes find that I feel a little guilty eating two brownies in one sitting. Baking is a science, so I don’t recommend doing anything too radical or you can ruin a recipe, but there are ways to make things with few less calories. Continue reading
Ridiculously Good Rolo Cookies
I was craving something chocolately and chewy, so I went through some of my cookbooks and binder of recipes cut out of newspapers and magazines, and settled upon these cookies. All I have to say is: O…M…G…THESE ARE GOOD, and by good I mean really super good and are now going to be regulars in my arsenal good. Continue reading
Devil’s Food Cake with Sinful Chocolate Frosting
I made this cake for my Bubbie’s 85th birthday on Sunday and she kept the leftovers, which says a lot! Not to be confused with my Nana, my Bubbie is my other grandmother and the two are opposites. While Nana liked funky, Bubbie prefers classic or conservative. I remember my Nana for her baking, and Bubbie stands out in my mind for her cooking Continue reading
My Famous Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins
I became famous for these muffins in university; it got to the point where I could swear that my friends developed a sixth sense for when they had just been baked and knew exactly when to stop by. These muffins are a perfect solution to overripe bananas and were part of the inspiration for this blog as many of my friends have requested the recipe or the result of it at one point or another.
