Chocolate-Covered Sponge Candy

December 20, 2019 by Faith 27 Comments

Homemade Chocolate-Covered Sponge Candy is easier to make than you might think. If you love this candy as much as this Buffalo girl, this recipe is for you! Here the crunch and complex sweetness of caramelized sugar candy is coated with chocolate for a treat everyone loves.

We don’t talk candy much around here, which is probably for the best.

Of course with the exception of things like Crispy Toasted Puffed Quinoa Dark Chocolate Candy Bars, Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups, and Paleo Candy Apple Wedges.…

Chocolate Peppermint Bark

December 9, 2019 by Faith 55 Comments

Everyone loves Chocolate Peppermint Bark; it’s a delicious, easy-to-make recipe that’s great for using up leftover candy canes! While I was growing up, my mom used to solve our leftover candy cane problem by saving them to hang on the next year’s Christmas tree....

September 17, 2019 by Faith 4 Comments

Rich and decadent, these no bake Fudgy Double Chocolate Protein Bars will simultaneously fuel you up and satisfy a sweet tooth! Each serving has 201kcals, 11g protein, and 8g net carb and they taste way better than anything store-bought. A while ago, a friend asked if I had a great recipe for homemade protein bars. At that time I did not, but I knew what my next mission was!...

Gooey and decadent Turtle Brownies take regular chocolate brownies to the next level with the addition of pecans, soft caramels, and chocolate chips! Summer is in full swing, and along with it backyard BBQs, pool parties, and picnics. This time of year I’m always looking for a new easy dessert recipe to please a crowd! Cookies are a safe bet, and brownies are even better. I have yet to have someone turn down a brownie, especially an insanely indulgent one!...

This Fudgy Guinness Brownies with Dark Chocolate Ganache Recipe features rich, honey-sweetened chocolate brownies to balance out the flavor of stout.

It pairs really beautifully with a lot of baked goods, especially chocolate cakes and brownies....

Chocolate Peanut Butter Chia Pudding (Tastes Like Healthy Peanut Butter Pie!)

September 10, 2018 by Faith 2 Comments

This Chocolate Peanut Butter Chia Pudding tastes like healthy peanut butter pie, but is nourishing enough to enjoy for breakfast. I still remember the first time I had peanut butter pie; truthfully, it was by no means healthy peanut butter pie! This wasn’t a pie I grew up with; my mom was an apple and pumpkin pie maker, so I was an adult the first time I had it. I was in college at the time, and it was at a chain diner, I think Perkins, if I’m not mistaken, or maybe it was Denny’s. I remember thinking, Oh wow, that’s what I’ve been missing […]...

Black Forest Chia Pudding Nice Cream Recipe (Healthy Banana Ice Cream)

July 16, 2018 by Faith 1 Comment

Black Forest Chia Pudding Nice Cream Recipe (Healthy Banana Ice Cream) is fruit-based (cherries and banana), contains healthy fat (chia seeds), and is equally satisfying for breakfast or dessert. I remember the first time I tried my hand at making banana ice cream (aka nice cream). It was circa 2010 and I was living in Buffalo craving a soft serve from Kone King something fierce. A friend told me about nice cream and I decided to try it. Back then, I had no idea just how versatile nice cream is, and that it can be made into things like this Black Forest Chia Pudding Nice Cream […]...

Low-Carb Keto No-Churn Vanilla Cheesecake Ice Cream with Strawberry Swirl and Chocolate Chunks

February 12, 2018 by Faith 10 Comments

Low-Carb Keto No-Churn Vanilla Cheesecake Ice Cream with Strawberry Swirl and Chocolate Chunks is the perfect treat to keep in your freezer for those times when an ice cream craving hits! I had high hopes of making cheesecake-stuffed chocolate-drizzled strawberries this Valentine’s Day. Alas, the best laid plans. (But if you haven’t seen them, do a quick Google search because they are quite possibly the cutest food ever. But I’ll admit, I was feeling a little unmotivated – ahem, lazy – when it comes to meticulously piping cheesecake into strawberries.)...

Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Maple Brown Butter Frosting and Hazelnut Caramel Crunch

January 1, 2018 by Faith 1 Comment

Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Maple Brown Butter Frosting and Hazelnut Caramel Crunch are soft and chewy with flavor notes of nuts, caramel, and maple. On the first day of the New Year it’s probably more customary to share a healthy new year’s resolution type of recipe. I’m breaking all the rules with these whoopie pies! But they might just be so wrong they’re right....

Easy Sugar-Free Turtle Cheesecake Dip

December 12, 2017 by Faith 5 Comments

Thank you to Back to Nature for sponsoring this post. I am happy for the opportunity to share brands that I believe in with my readers, and I hope you enjoy my recipe. As always, opinions stated are my own. Easy Sugar-Free Turtle Cheesecake Dip pairs caramel flavor, pecans, and chocolate in a satisfying cheesecake-like treat. Confession time. It’s hard for me to fully enjoy something like a slice of yellow cake heavy-laden with a thick layer of vanilla bean buttercream (but yuuuum, vanilla bean buttercream). Or a hot fudge sundae with ice cream that’s just starting to melt because of the rich and decadent […]...
