It has been nearly three months since I have shared a new brownie recipe, obviously far too long. This recipe is another mashup, this time inspired by my oldest child. Sometimes, I’m not really sure what I feel like making so I’ll fish for ideas, asking my family what...

This recipe was inspired by the cream cheese half of my Red Velvet Fudge. Every time I make my red velvet fudge, I can’t help but think how much I really enjoy the cream cheese portion of the fudge. Sometimes, I will actually hunt for pieces that have a...

The fifth, and final, fudge recipe included on my holiday goodie trays is my award winning Red Velvet Fudge. This fudge is very much a crowd pleaser, it is one of the first to disappear on goodie trays I’ve brought to work or shared with friends and it has...

Even though Grandma’s Old Fashioned Fudge is one of my all time favorites, I just can’t resist tinkering and trying out new riffs on an old favorite. Depending on my mood, this particular variation can sometimes edge out the original for the top spot. It first made its appearance...

Another recipe from the very earliest days of Chocoholic Anonymous (circa 2008 or 2009 I think), this recipe was inspired by an over abundance of Halloween candy and a timely recipe post from one of my favorite food bloggers, Jennifer, over at Bake or Break (she actually updated her...

I have a number of recipes that call for toffee pieces, which, of course, you can buy in nice convenient bags of already crushed toffee pieces, both with and without chocolate. So, why take the time to make my own? For me it all came down to control over...
