Mint is not my husband’s favorite flavor, he prefers I not use fresh mint in dishes and mint chocolate chip would not be his ice cream of choice. On the other hand my son and I love all thinks mint so I jumped into this recipe from Baking Chez Moi with both feet. I don’t…

Biarritz Cookies
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are baking from Dorie’s Cookies. Biarritz cookies are a soft cookie made from almond flour, flour, confectioners’ sugar, butter, milk, egg whites that have been whipped up and sugar. The cookies are then pipped on to a tray. I followed Dorie’s instructions and made my first batch the…
Peanut Butter and Fudge Brownies
This week on Tuesday with Dorie we are divining deep into chocolate, thank goodness for Trader Joe’s Pound Plus Chocolate Bars. These fudge brownies have a whopping 17 ounces of chocolate and butter, lots of butter. When my husband read the recipe he said “these are going to be rich”. This is a three layer…
Chocolate Pot de Crème
Tuesdays with Dorie members were tasked with making Tea and Honey Pots de Crème this week. Since I have not been fond of our latest tea flavored recipes I thought I would make one of Dorie’s Bonne Idee. There were three to choose from; vanilla, chocolate and caramel and I chose chocolate. As expected these…
Hazelnut Crescents
These are one of my favorite cookies, I have been making them for probably twenty years. The recipe comes from Chocolate cooking with the world’s best ingredient by Christine McFadden and Christine France. The book was a gift and I have made many chocolate treats from it. As I was trying to keep busy from…
Carrement Chocolat, The Simple Loaf
We are a chocolate loving family and I knew this loaf cake would go over well. My son asked if there was any ‘funny’ stuff in it and I said nothing but chocolate. This cake is made very different from other cakes, a food processor is the main piece of equipment. Softened butter, eggs and…
Chunky Chocolate Fruit-and-Nut Bars
This is a dessert bar that is chocked full of goodness; 5oz nuts, 8 oz mixed dry fruit, 1/4 cup shredded coconut and 7oz chocolate. I worked with the ingredients I had at home so my choices were: pecans, pistachios, hazelnuts, dried cranberries, raisins, one dried fig, candied ginger, dark chocolate and I used sweetened…
No-Bake Double-Decker Cookie Cubes
I have had this recipe by Dorie Greenspan in my queue for quite some time. I made it part of my holiday treats to give away this year. This recipe is similar to Dorie’s Dessert Roses from Baking Chez Moi. The crust is made with graham crackers and butter. The dark chocolate is melted with…
Touch-of-Crunch Chocolate Cake
When I told my husband what our next baking assignment for Tuesdays with Dorie he said, “I don’t think I can eat a cake made in a pie plate”. He was kidding of course. It is a chocolate month for us and this one more chocolaty than the last. This is a flourless chocolate cake…
Snowy-Topped Brownie Drops
This recipe is all I hoped it would be; chocolaty, chewy goodness. This is the brownie version of a crinkle topped cookie. Made with eight ounces of bittersweet chocolate, this is not for the faint of heart. We are chocolate lovers and these are disappearing fast in my house as well as the milk. To…
