Cherry Fudge Brownie Torte

For the longest time, I never liked cherries, but I’m starting to come around a little bit.  This dessert  appeals to me more now than it would have a year or more ago.  It’s a pretty simple dessert, consisting of a brownie made in a springform pan and the topping.  Out of cheapness, I used [...]

Espresso Cheesecake Brownies (TWD)

I’ve been wanting to make these brownies for a while, so I was happy to see that they were chosen this week.  I love coffee desserts (though I don’t drink coffee), so I knew I would love these.  I made some really good cheesecake brownies last year, and wanted to see how these would compare.  [...]

Brownie Buttons (TWD)

When I saw these in Dorie’s book, I thought they were so cute.  I wasn’t sure how they would come out.  I thought they may have been more about looks than taste.  Still, since I have loved all of the brownies I have tried from Dorie’s book so far, I figured these would be great [...]

Bailey’s Irish Cream Cheese Swirl Brownies

I have been a fan of Bailey’s ever since I made the Chocolate Domino Cakes back in May.  I just love the flavor, and it’s great in chocolate desserts.  I have had these brownies on my mind for a while now, and just couldn’t wait any longer!  I cut the recipe in half and made [...]

Katherine Hepburn Brownies (TWD)

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 [...]

Chipster-Topped Brownies (TWD)

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 [...]

Turbo-Charged Brownies with Praline Topping

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, [...]

Tuesdays with Dorie: Caramel-Peanut-Brownie Cake

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 [...]

Brownie Mosaic Cheesecake

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 [...]

Pumpkin Spice Kiss Chocolate Brownies

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 [...]
