This week we’re making another one of Dorie’s brownies. These are a tribute to the late actress Katherine Hepburn, who loved them. I love brownies and was excited about trying these. This was a simple, straightforward brownie recipe. One aspect of this recipe that stood out to me was that it contained cocoa powder and [...]

I have been eyeing these brownies since I first got Dorie’s book. I am a major dough eater, and there is nothing better than dough from chocolate cookie dough. I am also a huge fan of any kind of brownie. And now you’re telling me that there’s a dessert where I can have both? Count [...]

There is no picture of these brownies in The Pastry Queen, but I knew from the title that I had to make them. I guess I’m a sucker for anything with the word “praline” in it. I thought the combination of flavors sounded really good. These brownies have a little bit of coffee in them, [...]

I’ve been waiting for this to be chosen for a long time! When it was my turn to pick the recipe back in March, I went back and forth between this and the Snickery Squares, which I ultimately chose. I hoped that someone would choose this one soon. I was so excited to see that [...]

Finally, a cheesecake I am in love with! I love dessert, but cheesecake is not one of my favorites. The minute I saw this recipe on Smitten Kitchen, however, I knew I must make it. The thought of brownies mixed in the cheesecake batter and the chocolate cookie crust made me think that this would [...]

For the past few years, Hershey’s has been coming out with specialty kisses for certain seasons and holidays. I’ve really enjoyed their Chocolate Mint Kisses at Christmas and their Strawberry Kisses at Valentine’s Day, and I’ve heard really good things about their Pumpkin Spice Kisses for fall. Over the weekend I went to Target (which [...]

I was looking through my copy of the Sweet Melissa Baking Book, trying to decide what to make. My usual complaint about cookbooks when they don’t have enough pictures, but for some reason this book is different. With this book I have no problem drooling over the treats by picturing them in my [...]

For this week’s Tuesdays with Dorie we were supposed to make chocolate pudding. I planned to make it before going out of town. I started the pudding and everything was going well until I had to pour the hot milk into the food processor. It was then when I realized that my [...]

I was trying to decide what to make for dessert the other night. I knew I wanted brownies, but something different from a plain brownie. I remembered the recipe for Chocolate-Glazed Mint Chocolate Brownies and I thought they sounded like what I wanted. I thought they would be perfect and refreshing for [...]

I was craving brownies again, and I decided that cream cheese brownies sounded good. I really enjoy experimenting with different types of brownies and combinations of flavors. I had saved a recipe from Cook’s Illustrated, so I wanted to give that one a try. These were pretty easy to make. Make sure your cream cheese [...]
