Dessert is something else in our household. We have it every single night. Don’t judge just yet! It’s not all that bad. Every night following dinner, we have a small serving of dessert for each person. Portion control, errbody. Just enough to satisfy our undying devotion to dessert sans the worry and guilt.

Hot Fudge Sundae Cake Recipe
October 1, 2014
Being a self-confessed chocolate addict, I’m always on the lookout for remarkable chocolaty treats. This one, however, was shared with me by my sister. Aware of the fact that I’m obsessed with chocolate, she sends me treats and recipes from time to time.

Chocolate Chip Meringue Cookies Recipe
September 24, 2014
As a kid, I grew up not so fond of meringue cookies. The ones my mother got from the store always reminded me of Styrofoam. I always thought they didn’t have enough flavor to even bother with.
Then, in the past few years, I started playing around with chocolate left overs. Those combined with some egg whites would always make a meringue cookie worth drooling over. They have a great texture and deep chocolate flavor.

Chunky Chocolate Pudding
September 10, 2014
Chocolate pudding, to me, will always be dreamy. Something I will always be willing to spare some space for in my stomach even after a pretty heavy meal. This chunky version, the one I sifted through dozens and dozens just to get that oomph I’ve always been yearning for, is chocolaty but not too heavy, indulgent yet not overly rich.
Disappearing Marshmallow Brownies
September 3, 2014
I have been using my oven more than I usually do, but I ain’t complaining! This dessert is outrageously decadent & comforting any day of the week.
Moist fudge brownies with marshmallows. It’s not a true “brownie”, though, it’s a blondie! Stopping while there’s still some left in your plate is almost impossible! It’s sooo rich, so a glass of milk or coffee might come in handy!

Creamy Mocha Fudge
August 27, 2014
I swear by the combination of coffee and chocolate in desserts. I love the depth of flavor when coffee and chocolate go together. They’re divine even individually, alright. But they just go so perfectly together it’s almost sinful!
I know my friends would go gaga over this, and when I make them several batches I know they just wouldn’t stop until trays are emptied. Indeed, the inventor of mocha should be sainted.

Super Chocolate Sorbet
August 13, 2014
Summer is still around, except of course if you’re from the Land Down Under or Antarctica. And I got myself some new appliances the past weekend, ice cream maker included. Yay adulthood! Yay me!
What I’m sharing with you today though is not, I repeat, NOT a heavy chocolate ice cream. This is a sorbet (chocolate and water). Light, refreshing, but very, very rich! I wasn’t really holding my breath for something spectacular when I was making it, but then I took a spoonful… And another one. And another one. It was head-tilting good! And it even got better after freezing.

Devil’s Food Delight
August 6, 2014
Anyone will delight in this recipe. The best thing about it is the fact that it’s actually a breeze to make! There's no denying that it tastes sensational, but it also happens to have so many other phenomenal things going for it that I just have to share with y’all.
A good devil's food cake recipe is, without a doubt, one of the most versatile things ever. Think cupcakes for any occasions, chocolate sheet cake for a children’s party, and layer cake for the grown-ups, just to name a few. Sprinkles and frosting with sugar on top wouldn’t be so bad of an idea, or some whipped cream and some berries, perhaps?

Chocolate Chip and Orange Muffins
July 30, 2014
There's something funny about muffins. They can be something nourishing that you eat in the morning, and they can also be an addictive dessert.
As a kid, I often requested muffins for breakfast. My mom always just thought I was trying to practice healthy eating at a tender age, and that I never wanted to leave home with my stomach empty, failing to realize I eat one muffin too many most mornings.

If you still don't know what my favorite candy bar is, you obviously haven’t been paying enough attention. Boohoo.
It’s Snickers®. I’m head over heels crazy about the chocolate, peanut, nougat, and caramel combo. I’ve mentioned it a million times, so I’m just gonna dive in head first and make my own homemade Snickers bars.
