These cookies are an absolute favorite of my husband’s and one of the very earliest contributions to Chocoholic Anonymous. The first time I ever made them he dubbed them “crack cookies”, but I thought that probably wasn’t the most appropriate name to give them. I’m sure he still thinks...

You might have noticed that I’m not generally a big fan of fruity desserts. Many (ok, let’s be honest – most) of my dessert recipes lean heavy into various chocolates, caramels, nuts and creams. But, there is one exception – apples. I love apple desserts in any form, so...

This recipe has a bit of an interesting history. When I first launched Chocoholic Anonymous, the recipe management tool I was using at the time defaulted to allowing registered members of my site to submit their own recipes. I was unaware of this setting and it had not been...

I think I mentioned previously, as I work through re-posting all of the original site recipes I’m frequently taking the time to review, revise, and in many cases, re-bake the recipes. In some cases, there is more than 15 years of baking experience between the original post and now....

Another recipe from the early days of Chocoholic Anonymous, these muffins are an excellent way to use up a couple of overripe bananas. Typically, my younger son prefers bananas raw and under-ripe. Once they start getting dark spots on the peel he loses interest, but he doesn’t really want...

I’m always on the look out for new cookie recipes, or new takes on classic recipes. Often times I will take those recipes and make my own little tweaks and adjustments, as was the case with this toffee and coconut riff on chocolate chip cookies back in 2013 (another...

This cake recipe was one of two recipes I used to make my eldest son’s second birthday cake – the second was the Double Chocolate Chip Pound Cake. The two flavors together made up the base of the cake along with a salted toffee Swiss meringue buttercream. The dulce...
