Samoa (Caramel DeLite) Cupcakes

When I was growing up, we didn’t often have Girl Scout Cookies, but when we did, my absolute, uncontested favorites were the Samoas. While there are some new flavors to choose from these days, I’m still a die hard fan of the Samoas (now also known as Caramel DeLites)....

Zucchini Bread

Zucchini bread is one of the first recipes I remember making entirely on my own. For as long as I can remember, my mother has always had a vegetable garden which has produced an abundance of zucchini. While there are many wonderful ways to cook and bake with zucchini,...

PBC Montage Cookies

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...

Caramel Apple Cheesecake Cookie Bars

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...

Deep Dark Rich Chocolate Fudge Cake

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...

Caramel Apple Muffins with Pecan Streusel

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....

Zucchini Cheese Tart

While working through re-posting as many of my pre-site-crash recipes as I was able to recover, I came across this very rare find – a baked good that a) does not include any kind of chocolate and b) is savory. It isn’t that I don’t enjoy baking savory items,...

Maple Pecan Double Pumpkin Muffins

This is another way-back recipe that makes excellent use of any excess or leftover pumpkin puree you might have. If you found that the Scotchkin Cupcakes were too sweet or the Double Pumpkin Pancakes were not portable enough but you still want that iconic pumpkin and spice, warm, fall...

Chocolate Mudslide Cookies

Jacques Torres is a very well know pastry chef and chocolatier, so you know that a chocolate cookie recipe of his creation is going to be good. This is certainly no exception, the very slight changes I made to the recipe did not alter the overall flavor profile or...

Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Muffins

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...
