Fudgy Mocha Bars
Brownies are a beloved dessert in my house but sans nuts please. We eagerly looked forward to our latest baking assignment. These fudgy mocha bars are loaded with chocolate including cocoa powder and 6 ounces of chopped semi-sweet chocolate with a hint of coffee. The crispy top was my favorite part. And there is only…
Roasted Rhubarb
When I think of roasted rhubarb, it reminds me of Knott’s Berry Farm chicken dinner. The only time I ever ate rhubarb in a dish growing up was at Knott’s Berry Farm, Dorie has provided us with the French version in Baking Chez Moi. Since the Angostura bitters were optional I decided to leave them…
Triscuity Bites

Financiers need planning ahead,…
Sesame-Sea Salt Cookies
From the cocktail cookies section, this cookie has it all. A little bit sweet from the sugar, a little rich from the butter and almond flour and a little crunch from the sesame seeds. There is something for everyone in this cookie. To see what other’s thought head over to Tuesdays with Dorie.
Blondies
Tuesdays with Dorie This blond version of a brownie includes pecans, milk chocolate and coconut. Dorie provides various ways to prepare these; the original recipe calls for a mini muffin tin but I decided to go the easy route and make bars.
