Chocolate Cake Balls are the Balls of the Gods

Well, not literally, as in we’re not talking about male gods specifically here. More like, if gods ate food, and if they liked eating their food in ball form, this is the sort of food they’d be eating. For dessert. Unless they were really unhealthy gods, then they might just eat them all the time. [...]

Easy Truffles and Mint Bark

A few years back, I decided to make truffles. The recipe was rather simple, and the truffles themselves came out looking and tasting quite nice, so I decided to recreate them again to give as presents this year.

First off, here’s the recipe for the truffles:
Beat an 8 oz. package of cream cheese until smooth. Beat [...]

Kokoro plus a bonus Twilight chocolate critique!

I continue to curse myself for my unfortunate trend of eating somewhere and neglecting to bring my camera with me. Most notable in this is my visit a few days ago to Kokoro. This is a local Denver chain of Japanese fast food. This makes me happy, as I remember several years ago sitting around [...]

Russel Stover Outlet Store Goodness

If you like discount chocolate as much as I do, then you desperately need to visit the Russel Stover outlet store. It’s located at Exit 104 off of I-95. They’ve got a vast assortment of chocolate as well as large quantities of discounted chocolate left over from various holiday. The best part, though, is their [...]

Lets celebrate Pi Day with some chocolate cream pi (err pie)!

Pie is a beautiful thing. So is pi, for that matter. Which is why it’s so convenient that I can celebrate both on the same day! Chocolate cream pie is an especially beautiful thing. It’s a “maximum delicious for minimum effort” kind of pie, which I greatly appreciate.
I had a pie crust I bought on [...]

There’s simply not that much point in comparing Little Caesar’s pizza to semi-homemade, but I’ll do it anyway.

Once upon a time, in a galaxy far far away, Little Caesar’s was my favorite pizza. This was back when their slogan of “Pizza! Pizza!” actually meant something, as their schtick was “Buy one get one free”. I was younger then, and I’m sure my definition of “good” has changed a bit, but it still [...]

In honor of the one month anniversary of Christmas Eve, here’s a box of chocolate made completely out of chocolate.

Our generation* has seen many brilliant innovations. The most fabulous one of them all (at this moment, in my head, at least) is the ‘container filled with stuff made from that stuff’ invention. I will now attempt to list as many as I’ve been able to think of in the last two minutes.
First, we [...]

The Oceans Of Chocolate Will Never Stop Flowing!!!

I am dedicating this post to all of the chocolate I have managed to acquire in the past few weeks. I do this to document the madness of it all, as well as to record the piles for posterity. This way, when the Chocolate Famine strikes 30 years from now because the cocoa beans achieve [...]

Banana Bread, Filled with Chocolate Chips and Joy

Sometimes, you just have too many bananas. This predicament can be more common then one might think. Bananas, as compared to many other produce items, are generally dirt cheap. And so, it happened that I bought a bunch of bananas during a shopping stint, and then proceeded to buy another bunch of bananas just a [...]
