I have several chocolate recipe books and one of it is The Australian Women’s Weekly Sweet and Simple Chocolate recipe book. It has quite a few great recipes that are really sweet and simple. One of it is the Fruit and Nut Choc Chip Cookie Recipe. I tried it out and it was absolutely great! The best thing about it is that it doesn’t need that much sugar too.
It contains dates, almonds, rolled oats and chocolate chips, that’s why it doesn’t need that much sugar.
I know, I know…another chocolate dessert recipe but it is the mooncake festival anyway. And I don’t know why but I wanted to try my hands at baking my own mooncakes again. Last year’s chocolate mooncakes were a disaster when I brushed on too much egg glaze and the mooncakes looked horrible although it tasted absolutely heavenly.
So, this year, I baked the regular plain mooncakes and a batch of chocolate mooncakes too. You can find the recipes in my recipes page. Again, this year, I bought the ready-made fillings of lotus paste, chocolate paste and red bean paste. . . . → Read More: Baked Chocolate Mooncake Skin
Honestly, I’ve never even heard of Batik Cake until a friend raved about how great and rich and nice and all that to me. It sure did piqued my interest. The best of it is that it is a non-bake cake. It’s one of those cook over the stove, stir, pat into pan and refrigerate type of cake.
Considering I have been limiting my baking activities because I was not in the mood much nowadays, I thought heck, why not? A non-bake cake with loads of cocoa in it sounds simple and good enough.
Another of my favourite dessert definitely has to be brownies. If you search this site, you will probably find that I have two other brownie recipes, a non-bake brownie and the best-ever brownie recipes. Now, what can compete with the best-ever chocolate brownie recipe I had?
Well, if you love peanut butter, you will think this recipe is way better than just chocolate and almonds in the brownies. I mean what is a better combination than peanut butter and chocolate eh? Don’t believe me? Then try it out for yourself.
Yes, you are not seeing things. I did put fudgy chocolate muffins and low fat in the same line. And no, you are not dreaming nor am I delusional nor lying nor just plain bonkers. Okay, so I am a bit bonkers but that’s not what I want to blog about today.These are the mini low fat fudgy chocolate muffins I’m talking about…
Actually, I found this Weight Watchers’ recipe from Cajun Chef Ryan’s blog, so do check out his post of this recipe here. That’s how I knew it was low fat. And the best part, you . . . → Read More: Mini Fudgy Chocolate Muffins…and they are low fat too!
What do you do when you have half a packet of marshmallows and it has all but stuck together in a bunch of sticky gooey mess (no thanks to the hot humid weather here)?
Do you:
1. throw it away
2. eat it anyway, sticky mess and all
3. do like what Foong does, turn it into something even more sinful and delicious!
As you can guess, I did option number three. Though the end result aren’t all that pretty looking but damn, these sure are sinful…
Flowers have always been the main ‘thing’ for Valentine’s Day but The Food Critic is not really big on giving me flowers (the last time I got a bouquet of flowers was so many years ago, I don’t even remember when it was).
Still, this year, I got a pleasant surprise when he came back with a plainly wrapped bouquet of white calla lilies and gruffly gave it to me (yes, The Food Critic gets very gruff when it comes to sweet, romantic stuff). Now, calla lilies may not seem romantic to some people but it is quite meaningful . . . → Read More: Valentine flowers, chocolate roses and heart-shaped chocolate mousse cake
