Skip to recipe When I was younger, Heath bars were one of my mother’s favorite candy bars. I am pretty sure that I inherited my love of caramel from her, and chocolate covered crunchy toffee is right up her alley. She has always had an obsession with crunchy things. She likes her cookies crunchy instead
Skip to recipe The title says it all, but I will say it again: Irish Cream Brownie Trifles. Pieces of brownie are layered with Irish Cream pastry cream, then topped with a swirl of whipped cream and garnished with a chocolate covered espresso bean.

Skip to Recipe This is my third Mango Season working in a place that affords me access to a large supply of mangoes during this time of the year in Miami. I had been racking my brain for ideas on what to make with mango that I had never made before, and my brain reserves
Skip to Recipe I honestly don’t think that I need to say anything about this cake. The name says it all. But, I’ll say something anyway.
