Fondue

Here's something easy! Fresh strawberries, mini pretzel rods, and bite size brownies. All to be dipped in a hot pot of melted milk chocolate. All you need is skewers and you're ready to dip!

Japple-Lanters


How cute is this! Caramel covered apples for Halloween. We called them Japple-Lanterns, since they look like pumpkins!

Thanksgiving Perfect Pumpkin Pie


This is a Pumpkin Pie made with pie crust cookie cutters.....though you could use any cookie cutters, these were festive and very appropriate for the Fall season and Thanksgiving. I love the pie dish too, with the scalloped edges!

Happy Birthday! Giant Cupcake Cake

This isn't a cupcake at all......it's a giant cupcake cake! Simply decorated. Next time I'm going to fill it with something sweet. I just need someone to have a birthday so I have an excuse to practice!

Individual Molten Chocolate Lava Cakes


Molten Chocolate cake is so overdone! I've seen it many times before and I wanted to make it a little bit different...so I topped mine with chocolate covered raspberries and extra fresh raspberries on top. The goey chocolate centers made for more dipping of the fresh raspberries. Looks like someone snagged a few before I took the photo! Can you tell I like to cover everything with chocolate!!!!!

Chocolate Covered Treats (Fruits and Nuts) and Citrus Wine


This was an assorted platter of treats for Thanksgiving. Chocolate dipped apricots, chocolate dipped clementines, sugared pecans, and sugar walnuts, and a few pieces of Lindt dark chocolate with citrus flavoring. I accompanied this dish with a few bottles of sweet dessert wine that picked up the citrus flavors and yummy chocolate! It was a nice touch.

Death by Chocolate


This was for Jeff's Birthday. I made him a chocolate cake with a raspberry filling. The entire cake was covered in milk and white chocolate chips and topped with a few peanut butter cups! Decadent!
