My husband makes the most incredible Christmas Dinner Dessert… it’s an Eggnog Tiramisu Trifle. OMG. It takes him almost a full day to make it but it’s worth it… at least for me 😉 I highly recommend it. But usually around this time of year, I discover that a “just-in-case” package of ladyfingers remain. Since…

White Chocolate Truffle Snowmen
How can you not smile when you see these festive, and delicious!, winter treats? The snowmen can be made in advance, which make them an ideal dessert during the busy holiday season. I have found that for every twelve cookies, I can make around twelve truffles. So adjust your ingredient totals to how many truffles…
Christmas Chocolate Toffee Crackle
I may be referring to this recipe as crackle but in our family, it is simply known as crack. Sweet and salty, this absolutely delicious treat is a must at our family Christmas gatherings. In addition to being super tasty, it’s also super easy to make and can be done in advance. My favorite topping…
Rudolph Oreo Chocolate Truffles
Since we are now a proud aunt & uncle of the cutest nieces & nephew, we cannot show up to a Christmas celebration with a lame, adult dessert. Not only does it need to taste delicious, it has to be fun! The classic Oreo truffle dressed-up as Rudolph is the perfect solution. Packed with gooey,…
S’Mores Ice Cream Sandwich
When you think of nostalgic summer desserts, what do you think of? For me, I think of s’mores and ice cream. Sticky fingers by the fireside, melting drips on your shoes, and of course lots of laughs with family & friends. Being that we’re in Florida, summer nights rarely call for lighting the fire pit….
Chocolate Chip Hazelnut Truffle
This particular dessert creation was sparked by a challenge from my husband. We had baked chocolate chip cookies, but we were not eating them quickly enough. With ten hard chocolate chip cookies, he asked if I could make them into something that would improve on their current state. I accepted the challenge, and wow do…
Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Pie Breakfast Rolls
Yup, I sure did. I managed to make dessert breakfast. And wow is it tasty. While autumn has not quite set-in down here sunny Florida (82 degrees is cool, right?), my tastebuds and clothing attire are begging to differ. I woke up with a craving for pumpkin pie. After going through my kitchen, I had…
No Bake Chocolate Almond Butter Oat Bars
When your friends invite you to their summer home on the Cape, you cannot show up empty-handed. Of course you should bring some summer rosé, but a homemade dessert really says ‘thank you’. These no-bake bars are the perfect summer dessert with their saltiness from the almond butter, the sweetness of the chocolate, and of…
Scott’s Triple Chocolate Cake
Scott doesn’t cook. At least the Scott I know. He eats hummus and tortilla chips for dinner when left to his own devices. But like all things in his life, when he is determined to do something, he does it to perfection. And it turns out that while he hasn’t been known to do much…
Gooey Godiva Oreo Truffles
It’s not a secret. I love, love chocolate. And when you can take chocolate, and then dip into more chocolate. Well my friend, I’m sold. Now I’m sure you’ve seen these around by now, but let me tell you… there is a reason you keep seeing them – they are amazing! My version is a bit…
No Bake PB & Chocolate Oat Clusters
I’m always looking for new dessert creations that do not require precise measuring! This recipe was inspired by a recipe I came across on Pintrest.com. Ingredients 1 Stick Butter 2 Tablespoons Sugar 2 Tablespoons Honey 4 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder 1.5 Cups Rolled Oats 3 Tablespoons All Natural Creamy Peanut Butter Sliced Strawberries for Garnish In…
Chocolate Bark with Dried Cherries & Almonds
I love chocolate. Milk, dark, semi-sweet, white…. I’ll eat it all. Last December my mom, my aunt, and I took a girls trip to Chicago. Another DIVA had recommended this fabulous Italian restaurant, Osteria Via Stato, not far off of Michigan Avenue. After we had stuffed ourselves (I had the most incredible lasagna), the waitress…
