One of the nice things about fall is that the baking aisle expands somewhat and stores in my area start carrying new products. Case in point, the new Hershey’s Baking Melts which I found last week while searching for some milk chocolate to put in mousse-topped cupcakes. The cost of a 10 oz bag of [...]

I wanted to enter these in the Toll House Tales contest, but decided the story behind the recipe wasn’t interesting enough. It goes like this: “I had three partially full bags of different types of baking chips — butterscotch, white and semisweet. I also had some pecans. Cramming them all into a blondie seemed like [...]

Here’s another tribute to my dad’s favorite candy, the Zero Bar. I got the idea from this Zero Bar inspired cookie, where white chips, peanuts and almond extract mimic the flavor of a Zero Bar. Here, the same idea is carried over into a bar cookie. Does it really taste like a Zero bar? No! [...]

After seeing some caramel sauce topped Martha Stewart blondies on Pinterest, I decided to try making a batch where instead of being poured over the top, the caramel was sandwiched in between two layers of blondie. The experiment worked! I’ve only made these once, but I plan to make them again and serve them to [...]

I was playing around with almond paste, you know – like everyone does on a hot summer day in Texas, and had half a roll left I needed to use up. I figured Odense, the people who make the only brand of almond paste I know of, could help. They did. I hadn’t been to [...]
