Crème de Menthe Brownies

by 1 Comment

Take yourself back to a time of flappers, speakeasies and café’ society with a batch of Crème de Menthe Brownies. These rich, fudgy squares resurrect a lovely, old-fashioned liqueur to create a fresh new sensation.

Crème de Menthe Brownies

These Brownies Are the Cat’s Meow

I have a weakness for old-fashioned liqueurs and cocktails. I still think drinks like the Pink Squirrel, the Sidecar and the Golden Cadillac should be served in any proper establishment.

Crème de menthe is one of those iconic liqueurs. These Crème de Menthe Brownies allow me to blend my love of this liqueur with my love of chocolate.

They Are a Grownup Treat

These brownies offer three layers of rich, boozy indulgence that your guests will love. Be sure to keep them safely away from children and pets.

Tips for Making Crème de Menthe Brownies

  • Crème de menthe comes in white or green versions. If you can’t find the green type, add half a drop of green food coloring to the white one.
  • Use a good quality chocolate syrup for the richest flavor. Making your own chocolate syrup is easy, and the taste is amazing.

What to Serve with Crème de Menthe Brownies

Crème de Menthe Brownies are perfect for a party. They already have alcohol, and they already have a color scheme.

Go all out with the mint and chocolate by making these fabulous Grasshopper Drinks. This recipe is a good way to put your extra crème de menthe and chocolate sauce to good use.

Coconut Lime Cupcakes

Immerse yourself in all the flavors that take you back to your favorite island paradise with these Coconut Lime Cupcakes. These light, fluffy cupcakes are pretty as a picture and not too sweet. They’re a perfect bite of tropical bliss.

Coconut Lime Cupcakes

What’s Special About These Coconut Lime Cupcakes

Some of us can’t get enough of tropical flavors, and we chase them all year long. We know that the sharp, clean smell of limes and the warm, creamy taste of coconut belong together.

If you like Key lime pie or coconut cream pie, you will enjoy this twist on those old favorites.

Tips for Making Coconut Lime Cupcakes

  • Make sure you use fresh lime juice. Bottled juice won’t give you the same flavor. To squeeze the most out of your limes, follow the handy tips here.
  • If you’ve never heard of icing sugar, don’t worry. Icing sugar and confectioners’ sugar are essentially the same, and either one is fine.
  • These cupcakes are great at any gathering. You can even make them ahead of time if you store them properly or wait to frost them.

What to Serve with Coconut Lime Cupcakes

If you’re serving them at a kids’ party, this easy, bubbly pineapple sherbet punch is a great match.

For a grown-up gathering, make the most of their lime-infused, tropical nature by serving them with margaritas or straight shots of a good tequila.

They also pair perfectly with a light-bodied white wine like Riesling, Sancerre or Chenin Blanc.

Celebrate the Flavors of Fall with Pumpkin Pudding Cookies

Most of us can’t get enough of fall’s signature flavor. It doesn’t feel like the season has changed unless you’re inhaling cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg everywhere you go.

At the same time, you might be wondering if there’s more to life than pumpkin pie. These cookies answer that question.

Enjoy Moist, Dreamy Pumpkin Pudding Cookies Today

The best part about these cookies is their delectable, creamy texture. Pudding and pumpkin puree keep them moist. The addition of chocolate gives them unexpected richness.

Tips for Making Pumpkin Pudding Cookies

  • If you can’t find pumpkin pie pudding, use vanilla pudding and add a half-teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice.
  • Change the chips. Make these cookies Halloween-ready by using dark chocolate chips and turning them into spooky spiders.
  • Make sure you use pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling. Canned pumpkin pie filling has additional ingredients that can spoil the flavor and texture of these cookies.

What to Serve with Pumpkin Pudding Cookies

These cookies add delicious holiday flavor to any gathering. If you’re serving them to kids, try a tasty, nonalcoholic apple punch.

If you’re serving them at a grownup gathering, serve rum to bring out the warmth and richness of the spices. Try this hot buttered rum for a spectacular party pairing.

Chocolate and Pumpkin Lead to Cookie Bliss

Have you been looking for a way to shake up your oatmeal cookies? If you’re like me, you know there’s no such thing as a bad cookie, but sometimes you want to give a traditional recipe a twist.

These pumpkin oatmeal chocolate chip cookies answer the call.

Adding chocolate chips to anything is an instant improvement, but adding the pumpkin takes these to pure cookie bliss. The creamy warmth of pumpkin sparked with traditional spices is the perfect counterpoint to the rich indulgence of chocolate.

Tips for Making Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

This recipe calls for parchment paper. You can find this handy, versatile baking buddy in most grocery sores or cooking supply stores. Once you try parchment paper, you’ll be hooked.

  • You don’t have to grease your pans.
  • Cookies slide off easily without breaking.
  • You won’t have a dirty pan with burnt-on grease to clean.

How to Serve Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies taste best warm from the oven. I like pairing them with a warm or cold spiced cider. The combination brings together everything that’s wonderful about this time of year.

Storing Your Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

You probably won’t have any leftovers, but if you do, store them in an airtight container or a plastic storage bag.

Bread and Butter Pudding is a delicious comfort dessert with a creamy-custardy center and a golden-buttery top.  It’s so easy to make and the ingredients are cheap and readily available.

Easy Bread and Butter Pudding

How To Make Bread and Butter Pudding

Any type of bread can be used – white, wheat, french, brioche, croissants or even hamburger and hot dog buns. Because it’s better at absorbing liquid ingredients, stale bread is preferred over fresh bread.  It’s a great way to get rid of leftover bread instead of letting it go to waste.

Bread and Butter Pudding

First, cut off all crusts on whichever bread you decide to use.

Easy Bread and Butter Pudding

Then spread butter on both sides of each slice of bread.

Bread and Butter Pudding

Preheat the oven to 350° F.

Bread and Butter Pudding

Layer the slices of bread into a large ovenproof dish.  Scatter the raisins and ¼ cup of sugar between each slice.  Altogether you should end up with approximately 3-4 layers of bread.  Then beat together the eggs and ¾ cups sugar into a large mixing bowl until combined.

Bread and Butter Pudding

Now heat the milk and cream in a large saucepan until they reach a boil.

Bread and Butter Pudding

Then pour the boiled milk and cream over the egg mixture. Whisk together until smooth.

Bread and Butter Pudding

Slowly pour the mixture over the buttered bread and let it stand for approximately 10 minutes.  Bake the mixture in the oven for 40 minutes or until completely set.

How To Make Gluten Free Funfetti Donuts

Now it’s time to add the milk and mix until smooth.

Gluten Free Funfetti Donuts

Then for my favorite part, fold in the rainbow sprinkles. It’s okay to use the little ball sprinkles (nonpareil) on top of the donuts AFTER putting on the glaze. However, do not put these kind of sprinkles directly in the batter. They will bleed into the dough and ruin the color. Instead, use the longer, thicker sprinkles seen below.

Gluten Free Funfetti Donuts

Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pans.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the pans to cool for a few minutes before removing the donuts and allow them to cool completely on a wire cooling rack.
