Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate

When the inevitable pumpkin spice craziness begins to invade our lives, I like to be ready for it. I love me some lattes, but when my kids asked to have one too, I hesitated. We generally don’t give them coffee, seeing as how they are wired enough already. Personally, I don’t think…

Triple Chocolate Mexican Cookies

I had no idea that this recipe was going to be such a pain in my tush. I was making guacamole and margaritas for a meeting this past week and was going to test a few of my spicy mexican cookie recipes so that we would have something sweet to nosh on…

Homemade Instant Hot Cocoa Mix

So…um….yeah.  This weather sucks lemons. Before we get to todays recipe and my witty ramblings, I want to point out the handy dandy little icon on the top right of this page.  YES!  The rumors are true! Brittany’s Pantry has joined INSTAGRAM!!!  Do you know what this means, faithful readers?  It means…

Chocolate Eclair Dessert

Did you ever try a food or a certain dish that those around you at the time couldn’t believe you had never had it before?  Were you in college when you took your first bite of cold pizza while surrounded by cold pizza eating veterans?  Maybe you were introduced to Cool Whip…

Chocolate Cupcakes W/Orange Buttercream & A Celebration

So, yeah.  Things have been pretty busy around my house this week. My husband is off after a long crazy run at work and my daughter is finishing up first grade this week.  I have a birthday in a few days, my daughter has a birthday in a few days, and we…

Dark Chocolate Cookies & Drive-Thru Windows

I have come to accept the fact that I am somehow cursed when it comes to the drive-thru widows of restaurants.  I know I mentioned it before in a previous post (don’t ask me which one-I am way too tired  right now to try and figure that out) so I won’t rehash…

Saucepan Brownies

I absolutely love it when I find a recipe like this.  A great concept that is easy, saves me time, makes just enough for our little family, and tastes spectacular. While going through the BHG website, I came across a recipe for brownies in the archives.  It had been published 80 or…

Buttermilk Brownies

For a couple of weeks now, I have been in a kind of ‘brownie mood’.  This is a bit odd for me.  I really like brownies and if you look through my recipe archive you will find a ridiculously high number of recipes there for me to try.  But when it comes…

Hot Chocolate #3

So you know it had to happen.  Hot Chocolate #3.  I may have mentioned my hot chocolate obsession before, and if you missed that, it may have occurred to you if you have ever browsed through the list of Snacks & Drinks and noticed Hot Chocolate #1 and #2.  I drink it…

Chocolate Pudding Cake, As Promised!

Ok.  So here it is.  The ooey gooey chocolate dessert I told you I would post. I need to mention right off that this was kind of hard to photograph.  How do you take a picture of something that is part cake, part pudding, part brownie, and all decadence?  Because that is…

‘Midnight’ Crackles

Get it?  Midnight?  Great recipe for New Years, don’t you think? This picture actually doesn’t quite capture the correct color.  They are super dark.  Like…midnight dark:) Actually, these cookies are fantastic just about anytime of the year, even though I usually make them around the holidays.  They are a wonderful contribution to…

Hot Chocolate #2-Chocolate Chai

It has been raining here.  A lot.  And for days.  It is wet, damp, drippy, grey, dark, cloudy, and frankly a little sad.  My kids have colds and I am not feeling too hot myself.  Naturally, I have been living off of hot chocolate. As previously mentioned in the post Hot Chocolate #1, I…

Chocolate Croissant Bread Pudding & Breaking The Rules

Well, it is my own personal rule so I guess I can break it if I want to, right? I am referring to my rule about not posting two dessert recipes in a row.  I like variety when I am in the kitchen and since baking and sweets only accounts for 50%…

Double Chocolate Banana Bread

I often struggle to come up with the correct words to make you understand just how good a recipe is.  Granted, ALL of the recipes I post here are good or I would not actually pass them along to you.  That is the whole point of this, right?  I test and search…

Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Just a quick entry to pass this recipe along.  So here it is!  I promised you a recipe for Chocolate Zucchini bread, and this gal delivers.  Yes, this tastes a lot like cake, but because it is baked in a loaf pan and very much resembles the other zucchini bread recipes you…
