There is a bit of an ongoing debate across the internet baking communities as to whether brownies should be made with melted chocolate, cocoa powder, or some combination of both. While I won’t go quite so far as to say I’ve never met a brownie I didn’t like, I...

I’m certain that no one is surprised to discover that hot fudge is my favorite dessert topping. I love it drizzled over the top of cake slices or ice cream scoops, swirled into cake batter before baking, layered into an ooey-gooey, chocolatey pie or tart, or, my personal preference,...

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)....

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
