Recently my family and I had a dessert so delicious that my parents started acting funny: my mom insisted we eat the bars before dinner and my dad took an entire plateful for himself! What was the dessert? A simple, yet scrumptious chocolate butterscotch bar. Dubbed Alumnae Bars by my great aunt, these bite-sized treats are easy to make and are delightful crowd pleasers. They are completely portable making them perfect for a potluck, picnic, or bake sale. To take ...

Ever since I made lemon ripple bars, I've been wanting to experiment with other swirled desserts. This marbled caramel chocolate slice looks to die for. At first I thought the white swirls were cream cheese, but they are actually white chocolate, mmm! â€" Taste and Tell
Although you can make an upside down cake with virtually any type of fruit, the most traditional is the pineapple upside down cake. This delicious cake is made by placing a layer of fruit in the bottom of the pan and then covering it with batter. After the cake is baked, the pan is inverted and the sugar and fruit juices combine to make a sweet, caramelized cake topping. This is a classic that every home cook should experience making. ...
It's the first day of spring, and my thoughts are turning towards fresh veggies and bright colors. Normally it's the appetizers and main courses that get the spring treatment, but this year, dessert can play along too. This Garden Patch Cakelet Pan ($34) is a garden-themed cake pan that features rows of carrots, cauliflower, radishes and peas. It would make the most adorable petit-fours and hey, maybe it'll get your little ones (or big ones) to finally eat ...
Every year I always ask YumJimmy if he'll make a cake for my birthday, and every year he says someday. I really thought this was going to be the year, but he had something else up his sleeve. Instead of a birthday cake, he decided to make me birthday doughnuts. The recipe comes from John T. Edge's book Donuts: An American Passion, and it whips up quite quickly. Sadly we were out of powdered sugar, but luckily we had ...
Whenever I make a cake, I usually use a bit of parchment paper on the bottom of the pan. This way the cake won't stick to the pan and I'll have nice and even surface to work with. I either cut out a square or circle to fit the bottom of the pan, or I create a parchment-paper sling.
Unfortunately I said usually. To find out what happened,

Ever since I tasted the Starbucks chocolate covered coffee beans, I've been wanting to make something decadent with coffee. Luckily Lisa has taken care of my dilemma with her mocha cake with coffee bean brittle. It looks stunning and surely tastes scrumptious. â€" Pittsburgh Needs Eated
At all of my parties I like to provide guests with a sweet treat even if it is only a small bite. At my half birthday â€" besides filling bowls with M&Ms which is signature to all my events â€" I will make one refreshing dessert: white chocolate and lime cheesecake bars.
Instead of cutting the bars into squares, I'll use a cookie cutter to cut out circles making mini cheesecakes. To emphasis the half theme, I will cut ...
If you are sick of heavy chocolate desserts, consider making a trifle for your next dinner party. A cold dish that is best when made in advance, a trifle consists of layers of cake, custard, fruits, whipped cream, and syrup. While the variations are endless, most trifles are served in a large, clear glass dish. I've found two recipes for you to experiment with â€" one uses help from the grocery store and the other is one hundred ...
I finally got around to making the internet's most-clicked chocolate cake recipe last weekend. The recipe is simple and easy to make, and the resulting cake is dense and delicious. However, I didn't think this was the best chocolate cake ever. It's definitely good, but I'm not desperate to make it again.
The cook time given for the cake was over an hour, but mine finished in about 35 minutes, so be sure to check it while baking. Also, ...
This list is evil, evil! And I want to make almost every recipe!

Peanut butter, chili, and chocolate? Sign me up!
Soup says that they're even better than a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, ...
