Are you ready to make the easiest chocolate covered strawberries ever? You can use both semi-sweet chocolate and white chocolate for these if you wish. The white chocolate drizzle adds another step and makes the berries so pretty, but if you want SUPER easy, just omit that step. I always use Nestle chocolate chips for…
I am so excited to share my recipe for The Captain’s Table Challenge! Are you ready for this? I created a melt-in-your-mouth chocolate truffle inspired by the classic Christmas drink, hot buttered rum. It’s always been a favorite in our house. When cold Minnesota winters are covering the landscape in snow, it’s nice to have…
Hello, Lovelies. We’re enjoying date night, but I had to stop by during intermission and share this awesome recipe with you. We love these VERY orangy, chocolate dipped confections with dry prosecco or a shot of espresso. They’re amazingly flavorful, and the chewy texture is what makes them addictive, in my opinion. PS…thanks for all…
I woke up thinking about spending the day in the kitchen, baking our favorite Christmas treats, and that’s exactly what I did. I started with the dough for Swedish pepperkakor which is still chilling in the refrigerator. I moved on to Snowballs (Russian Tea Cakes with chocolate kisses in the center…and snickerdoodles with Rolos in…

I’ve been craving these caramely, chewy, buttery flapjacks for quite some time, and just happened to be close to a Byerly’s this past weekend so I was able to pick up a jar of Lyle’s Golden Syrup. Even though this…

~sel de rose caramels~ Well, it’s not quite time for the roses to bloom yet and I am a tiny bit impatient to make my rose miel (honey) for scones. In the mean time, I decided to cook up a little something with this beautiful rose salt, sel de rose, that my friend Jana gave…
~Bacon & Chocolate Bites~ Bake bacon in oven at 400 degrees until crispy (about 15 minutes…watch carefully for doneness.) Blot with a paper towel. Cool completely. Cut each strip into 3 pieces.

Has anyone else noticed the “salted caramel” flavor trend? I first discovered salted-caramel when we visited Nesbitt’s Orchard & Nursery in Prescott Wisconsin this past autumn. They were offering Izzie’s Salted Caramel ice cream. It was love at first bite! Recently I’ve been coming across a bunch of awesome looking recipes that include salted caramel.…
