Back before Christmas, my husband, his family, and I were discussing his grandmother. She’s gotten picky as she’s gotten older, and they weren’t sure what type of treat they could bring her for Christmas. My father-in-law brought up pecan rolls, since apparently they are one of her favorites. He commented about how where he usually…

One of my husband’s favorite cookies is the peanut butter cookie. He loves the crisp crunch when he bites in and the smooth peanut butter flavor that follows. Since Valentine’s Day is almost upon us, and I have some Chocoley chocolate left over, I decided to make him some peanut butter cookies and dip them…
Christmas came early for me here at Baking Kneads! A company specializing in melting chocolate, Chocoley, sent me 2.5 pounds of their Bada Bing Bada Boom Gourmet Compound Chocolate Candy & Molding Formula in White. (I’ll be posting a couple more recipes in January using more of their chocolate in Dark!) I was able to…
