Peppermint Chocolate Pavlova Parfaits

Posted on December 9, 2015

Holiday parfaits layered with peppermint whipped cream, fluffy meringue and shaved chocolate. I’m having a bit of a moment with pavlovas. Something seemingly simple can be playful and surprising when you translate it into a new and different flavor combination. Over the summer we enjoyed a refreshing lemon berry combo then warmed up in the…

Chocolate Covered Oreos, Three Ways

Posted on December 7, 2015

Chocolate covered Oreos are the best homemade Christmas gift! The three different recipes for this easy no-bake treat are so much fun. Chocolate covered Oreos aren’t exactly a new thing. I’ve been making them for years and have seen them sold in many candy stores. Usually, though, they are plain milk or dark chocolate. After…

Peppermint Mocha Truffles

Posted on November 25, 2015

Rich dark chocolate truffles with a hint of coffee and splash of peppermint. The best no-bake edible Christmas gift!      Peppermint mocha is my ultimate holiday weakness. The drink, the sweets, everything. In fact, despite the fact that I’ve mostly given up fake sweeteners and usually drink coffee sans sugar, the skinny peppermint mocha latte…

Thin Mint Ice Cream

Posted on May 12, 2015

Creamy no-churn ice cream full of huge Thin Mint cookie chunks. Recently I found myself in a disappointing situation. The ice cream selection in my freezer was boring the heck out of me. To remedy the situation I decided to take matters into my own hands and make some no churn ice cream. You all…

Thin Mint Cookie Cake

Posted on February 16, 2015

Thick and fudgy cookie cake loaded with Thin Mints and topped with Thin Mint Buttercream! I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, one of the reasons I’ve loved blogging so much (and probably why I’ve stuck with it for almost five years) is that I’ve made some great friends. Not only have I…

Double Dip Mints (aka Chocolate Dipped Peppermint Patties)

Posted on December 8, 2014

This recipe for Double Dip Mints was inspired by one of my favorite candy stores.  Homemade milk chocolate dipped peppermint patties are even better than the original candy you are used to! In all of my summers of going down the shore, there are definitely mixed memories of people and events  that seem to be…

Super rich and fudgy brownies infused with the infamous peppermint mocha holiday flavor. Sometimes you just need a great brownie.  These peppermint mocha brownies are the perfect holiday brownie for this season’s festivities.  Thick, fudgy, rich and decadent… the peppermint mocha combination is a holiday favorite around here and it is hard to beat in…

Mint Cookies and Cream Buttercream Cups

Posted on March 3, 2014

Rich dark chocolate candy cups filled with crème de menthe buttercream and crushed oreos. I’m not feeling all that great today so I’m going to keep this short.  These candy cups will kind of win over anyone who loves a little 2-bite treat.  My mom, while a buttercream lover, isn’t usually a fan of mint…

Chewy No-Bake “Thin Mint” Bars

Posted on February 23, 2012

Sometimes I have a million recipe ideas going through my head at a time and can’t get into the kitchen fast enough. And sometimes I have baker’s block. Every cookie or brownie variation will feel overdone and the creative section of my brain goes into freeze mode. Sometimes I really get stuck and just need…

Mint Chocolate Chip Meringues

Posted on October 18, 2011

Sometimes you need a light and refreshing cookie to balance out desserts like this.  As the cooler weather is moving in, the comfort of indulgent cookies, cakes and pies is more and more appealing.  However, I’m determined not to gain weight as we get through the winter.  In fact, I’d like to get rid of…
