This Salted Turtle Fudge Pie is a decadent twist on a classic candy. It eats like a mashup of a traditional Southern fudge pie and a pecan pie — a thick, rich, dark‑chocolate custard on the bottom, a buttery caramel loaded with toasty pecans on top, and just a...

My Triple Chocolate Cheesecake is a true show-stopper dessert. From the crisp chocolate cookie crust to the ombré layers of velvety dark, milk and white chocolate cheesecake, to the elegantly marbled ganache topping it’s a chocoholic feast for the eyes and taste buds. This recipe actually began its life...

Chocolate Crunch Brownies are a classic layered brownie treat – the kind you’d spot at a potluck or on a church-basement dessert table. They borrow from several dessert favorites – brownies, Rice Krispie treats, Scotcheroos – and regional ingredients like Marshmallow Fluff – and smash them together into something...

Despite the moniker of “French” Silk Pie, this incredibly indulgent, richly chocolate dessert is about as American as they come. The recipe was originally developed in the early 1950’s by a contestant, Betty Cooper, in the third annual Pillsbury Bake-Off Contest – it was, in fact, a $1,000 winning...

Most cookies with “melt away” in the name are very similar to the Butter Balls recipe I posted mid last week – a tender, buttery, nutty, shortbread-esque cookie coated in powdered sugar. This recipe for sugarcoated melt-aways (a.k.a. sugar crusted melt-aways) is in the same vein – it does...
