Hooray For Chocolate Cookies!

This last week has been exceedingly busy, meaning I haven’t had time to sit down and write a proper post. Alas, only time for improper posts. In any case, here are some cookies to tide you over in the meantime: Chocolate cake mix cookies, with chocolate chips and pecans added in for good measure. The [...]

Pillsbury Cheesecake Swirl Brownie Mix

I love box mix brownies. I rarely make brownies from a recipe because box mix brownies are already so freaking good. So we recently got a box of Pillsbury Cheesecake Swirl brownie mix. The only thing cheesecake could possibly to do brownies is improve upon them, so this had to be a good thing, right? [...]

Pi Day: Chocolate Pecan Pie

So for all of you in the know, this past Sunday was Pi Day (of the 3.14 variety). And now all of you *are* in the know, hooray! I was ill prepared for it, and did not have a pie (or a post about pie, for that matter) ready. So, Sunday evening, I decided to [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Gloriously Delicious Valentine’s Day Chocolate Cake Balls

It has been a long established fact that I like balls. Couple that with the fact that I like chocolate, plus the fact that I like squishy things, and I may have found the all time perfect recipe. That being, chocolate cake balls. The recipe is on that page, so I needn’t get into the [...]

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 [...]
