Spider Chip Cookies!

Spider Chip Cookies!

Can you believe that Halloween is right around the corner? I love Halloween, and everything about it, and will actually be sad once it is over! The creepy food and fun costumes are things I look forward to all year long. Plus, it is just another reminder that Christmas is looming… I love Christmas, don’t get me wrong, but the crowded stores and all of the glitter are things I am just not looking forward to. Spider Chip Cookies!   This year, create a quick and easy creepy treat for your friends and family with these simple spider chip cookies. Your guests will be sure to do a double take when reaching for these delectable treats.  You have two options for these cookies, you can make them from scratch (there is a recipe down below), or you can simply purchase some frozen cookie dough if you are on a time crunch.

What is your favorite thing about Halloween? The costumes? The food? I can not decide on my favorite because I love everything about it!

Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Cheesecake Filling!

Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Cheesecake Filling! Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Cheesecake Filling!

I have not baked anything in a while. Mostly because it has been soooo darn hot lately! If I could not throw it on the grill, I refused to make it this week. But, sometimes you just need chocolate, and I had a crazy craving for chocolate cake and peanut butter cheesecake. Mt sweet tooth was going through major withdrawal, so I knew it was time to get something in the oven. I could not make up my mind on what to make so I decided to combine my cravings into a Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Cheesecake Filling! Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Cheesecake Filling! The rich chocolate cake and the creamy peanut butter filling was just what I needed. If you are new here, I have a total chocolate and peanut butter addiction, to the extent that I turn a normal breakfast into a chocolate lovers dream. The best part about this recipe is that the cheesecake filling is no bake, so it may look intimidating, but this recipe is super easy to make! Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Cheesecake Filling! Oh and to give it just a little bit more decadence, I frosted it in peanut butter frosting and covered it in a dark chocolate ganache! YUM!

Instructions
  1. Cake:
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease two 9' inch cake pans and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl combine sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Beat in the eggs, milk, oil and vanilla until well combined. Slowly stir in boiling water.
  4. Transfer batter to baking sheets and bake for 30 to 35 minutes.

  10. Refrigerate for 1 hour before removing and frosting.
  11. Frosting:
  12. In a small mixing bowl, beat together powdered sugar and peanut butter. Continue beating on low and add in vanilla and milk. Beat until smooth can creamy.
  13. After cake has chilled, remove from spring form and frost!
  14. Topping:
  15. Bring heavy cream to a boil and remove from heat. Pour over chocolate and whisk until smooth.
  16. Allow chocolate to set and cool for 10 minutes before pouring over cake.

Brownie Cookies

Brownie Cookies

Today is the battle of brownie vs cookie. Over the weekend I wanted to bake, but I had no idea what I wanted to make, all I knew was it HAD to be chocolate! The Boy wanted cookies, so of course, The Girl wanted brownies. That is the norm around here though, they can never agree on anything. So, instead of a battle starting I opted for a happy medium, Brownie Cookies! Brownie Cookies   These little disks of joy are a perfect marriage of a brownie and cookie! The center is super moist and the edges are just slightly chewy. They were a total hit with both of the kids. So much that they were gone in less than 24 hours! So if you are looking for something quick and yummy to satisfy your chocolate craving, these will do just the trick! Brownie Cookies

Peanut Butter Chocolate Muffin Bites! Gluten Free and Dairy Free!

I have mentioned in a previous post that breakfast time is always hectic in our house. Children running around, husband rushing out the door, dogs barking, it is like a mad house. I strive to make easy breakfast food that is also easy to eat on the go and these Peanut Butter Chocolate Muffin Bites are just that. Plus, they are gluten free and dairy free, so everyone is happy in house! Just a heads up, I did use my awesome cake pop maker to make them (which I LOVE), but you can use a mini muffin tin or even a cupcake tin. I have included the directions for all three! Drizzle some chocolate syrup over the top and it even makes for a great healthy dessert!
