Chocolate Croissant Bread Pudding for Mother’s Day

I don’t think I’m going to have any trouble talking my husband into making this for me for Mother’s Day! It’s from Gale Gand at the Food Network and she says she started making it when she worked in England at the Stapleford Park Hotel. She also points out that using croissants that are a […]

Green Chocolate Dip

I know, that does not sound too appetizing. This was originally intended for a Halloween party, but there’s absolutely no reason it can’t be used for a St. Patrick’s Day party too! This comes from an episode of Easy Entertaining with Michael Chiarello on the Food Network.

Chocolate-Hazelnut Tart

I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve seen Giada De Laurentiis make this on Everyday Italian. Hazelnuts aren’t the easiest thing in the world to find but any natural/health food store with a bulk nut section should have them.

Weatherproof Chocolate

Truly a product after my own heart. I was watching Food Network the other day (nothing odd about that, trust me) and saw a segment on a product that made me drop what I was doing and sit in rapt attention for seven minutes. It’s called Backpackers Chocolate, an odd name for a really cool […]

Mountains of Chocolate

I saw these cute chocolate map boxes on Food Network a while back and made a mental note to mention them. But I forgot. Then my friend Alicia sent me a link to them several weeks ago and I thought I had bookmarked them to refer to later but… I forgot. Then my other friend […]
