Chocolate Dipped Pumpkin Cookies

October 13, 2019 by Debbie 3 Comments

I have combined two of my loves in this Chocolate Dipped Pumpkin Cookie, pumpkin and dark chocolate. A soft cake like pumpkin spiced cookie mixed with rich dark chocolate is just pure autumn Heaven. If you have read any of my previous post I am a bit of a chocolate snob and I tend to like higher quality chocolate . Let’s talk about this Chocoley’s Bada Bing Bada Boom Dipping Chocolate. This chocolate goodness is not only rich and delicious it is so easy to work with . I rarely melt chocolate in the microwave for many reasons, mainly it ends in disaster for me. This dipping chocolate melted beautifully in the microwave. If you love fall cookies you have to try my Pumpkin Eggnog Cookies a try.

Chocolate Chunk Pumpkin Bread

October 7, 2019 by Debbie 14 Comments

It is officially pumpkin everything season!! I went shopping with my cousin this past weekend and every shop we went into smelled of fall, it was so intoxicating. We went into a well known high end retail store and they had samples of several of their fall goodies out. One of their mixes was a pumpkin bread mix , that was at best average. Seriously, homemade pumpkin breads are so easy and so much better than a mix. This Chocolate Chunk Pumpkin Bread is so easy and delicious , and is perfect with a hot cup of tea. In the fall I love making breads like this check out my Apple Butter Banana Bread and my Apple Bread with Cream Cheese Filling.

Southern Candied Sweet Potatoes

Growing up in the Louisiana we never had a sweet potato casserole during the holidays . We always had these Southern Candied Sweet Potatoes , I had never seen a sweet potato casserole until I was in my teens. Don’t get me wrong , I love a good casserole with marshmallows melted on top . Seriously though, nothing beats a good old fashioned sticky candied sweet potato. If you have never had candied sweet potatoes , well you are missing one of life’s little treasures.

Easter Cupcakes

When I see peeps they just make me happy and I know Easter is near. I will be honest here, I am not a fan of eatting them but they are just so darn cute I love using them. Making these Easter Cupcakes was so fun, if you like peeps then your decorations are edible. When I made these cupcakes I used the combination of my Lemon Cupcake and my Strawberry Frosting. The combination of the two flavors is very spring like and yummy. I decided to fill these with a marshmallow filling , this is optional but so much fun when you bite into these cupcakes.
