With barely a week to spare (and prompting an unusual, mid-week post), we have come to the final recipe for my holiday goodie trays. Deep chocolate cookies, toasty pecans, gooey caramel and a flourish of more chocolate drizzled over the top, these turtle thumbprint cookies are one of my...

I first made this recipe when participating in the Tuesday’s with Dorie baking group way back in 2008 – 2010. Some of you may recall, from earlier posts, that the Tuesday’s with Dorie baking group was actually the impetus for the original incarnation of this website. At that time,...

These graham cracker millionaire bars are one of the most recent additions to my holiday goodie trays, and one of my absolute favorites. When I was developing this recipe, millionaire bars were the current hot thing, you found them all over the internet. I knew I wanted to do...

Normally, I’m not much of a candy person. I generally think the best use of candy is to bake it into something else. Unless that candy is fudge. My love affair with fudge started at a very young age. I remember my grandmother’s old fashioned cocoa fudge she would...

This over-the-top, decadent recipe for Snickers Brownies is a melted chocolate based brownie recipe. From there, we load...

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...

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)....

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...
