Chocolate and hearts, a quintessential Valentine's Day treat. With the big day quickly approaching I wanted to make a special breakfast. Chocolate waffles topped with homemade whipped cream and strawberry hearts did the trick.
It is easy to turn any bread {sweet or savory} into little turtles. I kneaded chocolate chips into my dough to make the turtle extra special and I decorated it with a powdered sugar glaze. Needless to say that my son was super excited when he saw a turtle coming out of the oven!
My family loves banana bread and the recipe that I grew up with is a classic that we never get tired of. Sometimes I stir in some chocolate chips to make it extra special.
The oatmeal helps to keep these rich chocolate cookies chewy and as long as you don't overbake them, they will be soft and tender.
Most kids like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, especially if they are cut into fun shapes. Of course, you can make any flavor of sandwich and cut them into any shape. This is a quick and easy snack for parties, adding some substantial food to the treat table while still sticking to the party theme.
These rich, no-bake, chocolate nut clusters are so simple to make. And they keep well for a long time in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
Now that I'm hooked on banana "ice cream" (an easy, creamy frozen dessert simply made of bananas) I decided to try adding chocolate, which is never a bad decision, in my opinion.
These are a staple cookie in my household. They are a crowd-pleaser, easy to make and you can use whatever nuts or flavored morsels you have (such as M&M's, white chocolate chips or peanut butter chips).
I recently hosted a cooking class for kids in honor of Cinco de Mayo. As part of the educational aspect of the class, I made flag sugar cookies and let the chefs decorate them like the Mexican flag.
This is such a simple fudge recipe and yet nobody will know because it still tastes so rich and creamy! I like to keep it in the refrigerator so that it is chilled when served.
