Imagine the most intense chocolate flavor you possibly can and that is what flourless chocolate cake is made of. It’s a collision of fudge and the soft middle section of brownies. A less sweeter version of the two. [Read more...]

Homemade Samoa Girl Scout (caramel deLites) with white chocolate instead of dark and a toasted coconut caramel topping. The best cookies I ever made or ate. In my entire life.
Hidden underneath a chewy caramel-coconut-candy topping is a soft, buttery cookie with a white chocolate bottom. When Girl Scout cookies see these coming they hide in the corner, heads hung in shame. If I packaged them I would be rich. Filthy rich. [Read more...]

I’m madly in love with this caramel apple cake! Don’t judge. It could be worse.
You don’t stand a chance against its wily charms with fresh apples, caramel sauce baked right into the batter, cinnamon cream cheese frosting and yet more gooey caramel gracing the top.

The toffee sauce is made on the stove by combining heavy cream with brown sugar and butter. It’s rich and caramelly. Without the sauce the cake isn’t all that special. But once the sauce hits it a transformation of epic proportions ensues. [Read more...]
