Sea Salted Caramel Corn with Chocolate Drizzle
After being teased with some warmer weather earlier last week, it’s back to being darn right cold again. TSM and I wanted to go see the latest Die Hard movie, but it was too chilly to bundle up and drive to the movie theater, so I decided a movie night at home, snuggling with TSM, in my flannel jammies with some homemade caramel corn was a better idea. Did you know that this popcorn makes 007 Skyfall an even BETTER movie than it already is? Yup. Truth. I’ve had this caramel corn recipe since I was about 14 years old. I got it from a friend I went to school with. We were…

Rich and Tasty Chocolate Syrup GMO-Free
Have you ever had a friend suggest that you make something, and you kind of hem and haw and scrunch your nose up at them? Yeah, so have I. And I openly admit I’m not going to do that again! I might miss out on something superchocolicious! Take this (beyond) easy chocolate syrup. It’s got 5 ingredients and one of them is water! I mean, *who* doesn’t have water on hand? My sincerest condolences if you don’t have any water on hand because this syrup is that good and you’re going to want to eat the whole jar. Hershey’s probably won’t want you to make this, but you should make it anyway. Live…

Chocolate Ho-Ho Cake- (Organic/GMO-Free)
On Christmas Eve my family gets together and everyone brings a dish to share. Each year I generally bring a dessert. Last year I went all out and made a 6 layer chocolate mousse cake with hazelnut japonaise drenched in a layer of ganache and chocolate shavings. It was decadence on a plate. This year I desired to do something much simpler, yet still really yummy. Enter the humble Ho-Ho. (That would be the snack cake Ho-Ho, not the street walking ho-ho.)

Sea Salted Chocolate Caramel Cookies
Don’t throw tomatoes at me, but this recipe isn’t 100% free of GMOs. I haven’t been able to locate a GMO free version of Rolo’s candy. I look at it this way. On rare occasion, I might eat a Rolo. Eventually I will no longer enjoy the taste of them, but for now, while I do on rare occasion AND while I have family members who have asked for this recipe, I’ve decided to share this recipe because the cookies are too good to not share with the masses. Ya know, after thinking about it, you could EASILY use some organic caramels in this recipe. Just cut them into Rolo sized pieces and…

My First (recipe) Mistake (aka 7-Layer Bars)
Well Food Posse Peeps, I finally did it- I made my first mistake this evening while putting together a pan of 7-Layer Bars to share with y’all. The good news, they taste perfectly fine. The bad news- they’re not very stable, don’t hold their shape, are very gooey AND (whispers) they’re ugly.
