This brownie recipe is the strongest I've seen in a while, and will likely go in the hall of fame for being a delicious combination of flavors and textures that are irresistible to me. When I was making the recipe, I was at first a little suspicious. Why is there more chocolate than there is … Continue reading Sweet and Salty Chocolate Bourbon Brownies

Browned Butter Bourbon Pecan Cookies
I'm starting to get a little suspicious of Serious Eats dessert recipes, because I've tried a couple and they haven't always turned out. Even Kenji's "best" chocolate chip cookie turned out meh. Granted, this recipe never promised anything more than marrying the flavors of browned butter, bourbon and pecan, but I found the texture a … Continue reading Browned Butter Bourbon Pecan Cookies
Bourbon Brownies
I've missed baking with bourbon, and ever since I moved to my new apartment, I knew that this was the time to buy a handle of bourbon to fulfill all my baking desires. While I enjoy a nice top-shelf bourbon for sipping, Jim Beam works just fine when it's going to be complemented with chocolate … Continue reading Bourbon Brownies
Dark Chocolate Rum Cake Balls
I made some of these incredible chocolate rum cake balls for a work party and judging by how only two out of 60+ balls were left at the end of it, I'm guessing they were a big hit. Chocolate and booze just never goes wrong! As someone who prides herself on making things from scratch, … Continue reading Dark Chocolate Rum Cake Balls
Chocolate Whiskey Trifle
Trifles are one of my favorite desserts to construct. This is why: 1. It's no-bake and thus super quick to assemble. 2. You can even use all store-bought, ready-made ingredients to assemble your trifle. 3. If your layer cake fails, turn it into a trifled "deconstructed" dessert. This chocolate cake trifle was borne out of … Continue reading Chocolate Whiskey Trifle
Chocolate Whiskey Cake
When I saw this recipe, I instantly knew I had to make it. I know I've been diverting my attention lately to more European desserts, but you could never tear me away from anything combining chocolate and whiskey. I was deciding between using Jim Beam and some cheapo scotch lying around, and went for the … Continue reading Chocolate Whiskey Cake
Brownie Pudding
This is an incredible recipe that satisfies the two different dessert cravings I often have: the chewy, and the creamy. While I could've baked a slice of chocolate cake with a fudge ganache and a buttercream frosting, why wouldn't I just mix up this super-easy brownie pudding? The texture of this is exactly what it … Continue reading Brownie Pudding
Chocolate Stout Beer Bread
Sundays as a full-time student and Sundays as an intern are worlds apart. During the school semester, Sundays is when I scramble to finish my homework that I've left neglected over the weekend. However, now Sundays are for me to contemplate what I'd like to bake and what creative concoctions I can conjure. (Guttural alliteration!) … Continue reading Chocolate Stout Beer Bread
Cocoa-Rubbed Pork Loin with Bacon Whiskey Gravy
Bacon. Whiskey. Chocolate. Based on my latest kitchen endeavors, I've found that these three ingredients are universally appealing to just about everyone, and especially when used together. I used to be a clear liquor sort of girl that scrunched her nose in the face of brown liquor, but then I started watching How I Met … Continue reading Cocoa-Rubbed Pork Loin with Bacon Whiskey Gravy
Bacon Bourbon Cornbread
I have been baking, but the dearth in posts lately is because I haven't baked anything worthy of a blog post. I was inspired to make some bacon cornbread recently, but it turned out too dry and bland for my liking. I was determined to make some kick-ass bacon cornbread, and I'm so glad this … Continue reading Bacon Bourbon Cornbread
