Fudge Ripple Monster Bars
Huge Bar Cookies with a Fudge Ripple in the Center I typically think of fudge ripple making an appearance in ice cream, but Sally McKenney has created an easy to make bar packed with peanut butter, oats and M&Ms with a ribbon of fudge rippling throughout. These will be the first bar to sell […]
Chocolate and Peanut Butter Lover’s Brownies
Over The Top Chocolate and Peanut Butter Brownies Jessica Merchant approaches her food in a very straightforward way. It has to taste good, be simple to make, use easy to find ingredients and the whole result is one that you want to eat yourself and share with friends. In other words, the kinds of recipes […]
Nutella S’Mores Bars
Nutella and S’Mores Meet in Bar Form While returning home from the Fancy Food Show in NYC and thinking about all the trends we saw it was obvious that Nutella (or chocolate hazelnut spreads in general) and anything with s’mores included is a big hit. So I thought, why not combine them? The day I […]
Triple Chocolate Brownies with Pecan Flour
Dark, Rich, Nutty Chocolate Brownies I could have called these triple chocolate brownies with double pecans because the nuts are featured as a crunchy add-in as well as binder in the form of pecan flour. (Ours was sourced from Oliver Farm). These are rich and chocolaty and hey, they are not cheap to make. You […]
Squash Squares
Mary McNamara is one of my oldest friends – and we have baked in professional kitchens together as well as with one another at our homes. Mary is a natural born cook and baker and she is my #1 phone call when I want to brainstorm recipe development ideas. She is also a prolific gardner […]
Very Fudgy Chocolate Chip Brownies
These chocolate chip brownies are from our friend and vegan pastry chef extraordinaire, Fran Costigan. Fran knows her way around recipe creation and these brownies show us how vegan baking need not be about deprivation. These are rich, dark and delicious. Made with nuts or without, these will satisfy your classic brownie cravings.
Peach Crumb Bars
Peaches – Skin and All – Give These Crumb Bars Color, Flavor and Texture I was thinking about my Nana and how she never measured when she made her piecrust, or how she diligently picked over and cleaned her blueberries for the filling. She worked with intuition and used her sense of touch. On humid […]
Chocolate Raspberry Brownies
When I was about 10 years old my mother held a dinner party, and for dessert, she served scoops of chocolate ice cream and raspberry sorbet – in the same bowl! This was an abomination to me; I couldn’t even fathom this mishmash. Well, palates do change and now dark chocolate and raspberry are a […]
Dulce de Leche Raspberry Bars
These bars are based on a dark-chocolate-studded blondie with an additional ribbon of dulce de leche and fresh juicy raspberries in the middle. You can make homemade dulce de leche or purchase it at the grocery store. The combination of milky caramel, dark chocolate and the acidic red fruit is an unusual and exciting combination. Make […]
Chocolate Ganache Cheesecake Brownies
Many cheesecake brownies have a swirl of brownie in the uppermost vanilla-cheesecake layer. Well, we figured there is brownie down below and what we want from the top portion is ultra-creaminess – that’s how the idea to swirl chocolate ganache into the cheesecake was born. One word: decadent. Below, you can see what it looks […]
Cranberry Snowdrift Bars
This Cranberry Snowdrift Bars recipe features a crisp, buttery shortbread crust topped with sweet/tart cranberry sauce and then crowned with a layer of sweet, white meringue. Swirl the meringue on top to make pretty peaks and shapes –the “snowdrifts” of the title. Image: Peter Muka Adapted from A Baker’s Field Guide to Christmas Cookies. Recipe © […]
Florentine Bars with Candied Orange and Cherries
Florentine cookies are irresistible, owing to their combination of caramelized sugar, chocolate, nuts and sweet/tart fruit. Their traditional round shape, however, is often hard to accomplish due to their lacy, freeform nature. In this recipe, the caramelized batter for the classic Florentine is poured and baked over a thin layer of shortbread, all of which […]
Espresso Brownies
Dédé used to make these espresso brownies at her first baking job and subsequently at her own place, Harvest Moon Bakery, in Amherst, MA in the early 1990s. It has continued to be one of her most often-requested recipes. We don’t consider these to be kid-friendly, as they pack a caffeine wallop and a very […]
Cherry Crumble Bars
Recipe © 2013 by Shirley Fan and used by permission of The Harvard Common Press These rich, buttery cherry crumble bars have the perfect combination of sweet, tart and salty qualities. Instead of using a shortbread base, I use oats to give the bars some extra texture, heft and flavor. Individually wrapped or packed in […]
Salted Caramel Brownies
Rich, deep and dark brownies made with three kinds of chocolate, swirled with dark caramel and sprinkled with fleur de sel – do we have your attention? The idea of salted caramel brownies isn’t new, but our take on it is. Recipes abound that use either caramel sauce incorporated into the batter or that use […]
Milk Chocolate Chunk Nutella Brownies
Nutella is a chocolate hazelnut spread, usually spread on toast or English muffins, and can be found in most supermarkets right next to the peanut butter. Oh, who are we kidding? It’s also eaten off of a spoon, while standing up so the calories don’t count, or we also like it slathered on a banana. […]
Coconut Shortbread with Lime Curd
This bar is a basic buttery shortbread enriched with shredded coconut and finely chopped macadamias, topped with a layer of lime curd and crowned with large toasted coconut flakes. This shortbread recipe does ask you to buy two different unsweetened-coconut products – neither of which are in your standard supermarket’s baking aisle (that coconut is […]
