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...

Toffee Coconut Chocolate Chippers

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...

Dulce de Leche Vanilla Bean Pound Cake

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...

Double Chocolate Chip Pound Cake

This cake recipe, along with the Dulce de Leche Vanilla Bean Pound Cake recipe, was the base of my eldest son’s second birthday cake. That also makes them a couple of the earliest recipes on my site. Pound cakes stand up very well to the weight and engineering requirements...

My Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate chip cookies are a classic for a reason – you can’t go wrong with a cookie that combines buttery dough, notes of caramel and a liberal studding of chocolate chips (or chunks, disks or wafers). For many people, chocolate chip cookies evoke memories of childhood and comfort, the...

Classic Brownie for One

When I most recently lost the database behind my site, I discovered that some of my recipes had not been saved anywhere else leaving me no choice but to try to recreate them. This single serving brownie recipe was one of the ones that was lost. I’m not certain...

Almond Coconut Crunch Brownies

These brownies originally appeared very shortly after the Peanut Butter Crunch Brownies. Just like the Peanut Butter Crunch brownies, the Almond Coconut Crunch brownies offer a classic flavor pairing (Almond Joy, anyone??) and a lovely juxtaposition of crunchy and fudgy textures. Unfortunately, the Almond Joy pieces candy called for...

Scotchkin Cupcakes

This is another very early recipe from the first incarnation of this site, and another one that makes good use of extra pumpkin puree. As I’ve been working on restoring recipes to the site, I’ve been taking the opportunity to closely review each one. In that process, I realized...
