chocolate swirl buns A few years ago, I conquered one of what has to be one of the seven wonders of my culinary world, chocolate babka. Babka, if you’re new to it, poor you, is a brioche-like sweet yeast cake, usually rolled thin and spiraled around a filling of chocolate, cinnamon, sweet cheese or fruit, and is often studded with streusel. And I know that most people save their gushing prose for lemon meringue pie, 8 inches high, or brownies with swirls of peanut butter, candied bacon and candy bars inside, I know that most people hadn’t heard of babka before it became a punch line, but Alex and I fondly remembering the grocery store chocolate babkas — with endless spirals slicked with bittersweet chocolate — of our childhood and I couldn’t rest until I cracked the code at home. But it still has its limitations. I found the solution to this crisis — are you allowed to call the irregular appearance of homemade chocolate babka in your life a crisis? Yield: 12 muffin-sized buns Set buns on cooling rack.

Vegan Richa: Dark Chocolate Silk Pie with Chocolate Almond Crust for Ella's Baby Shower. Vegan Glutenfree Soyfree Recipe I should call this Death by Chocolate Pie or Heaven in a Chocolate Pie :).

A very good coma I must say.The filling is coconut milk and melted dark chocolate. The crust is almonds, oats, cocoa and just a little oil.

Chocolate Hazelnut Crunch Bars Recipes from The Kitchn Have you ever become so totally obsessed with an ingredient or recipe it completely takes over your life? Because that is exactly what happened when I recently sampled an ethereal Chocolate Hazelnut Torte at a local Atlanta restaurant. That particular sweet and nutty flavor combination is always a favorite, but it was the crispy, creamy wafer crust that had me at hello. I have a minor -- or major, depending on who you ask -- case of undiagnosed OCD, and the biggest triggers usually pertain to food. (Okay, sometimes office supplies, makeup, and hair products can be to blame.) For example, the crunchy, "hazelnutty" crust from that delicious dessert. Feuilletine is essentially crispy wafer-flakes that add a textural element to all kinds of desserts. Upon discovering them for myself, I couldn't wait to order a batch of the toasty bits to play "pastry chef" with, that is until I realized I could make them from scratch.

My Recipe Magic Well, I am happy to announce that I found a Girl Scout in my area and my Girl Scout Cookie order is in! Now the waiting game begins . . . In the meantime, I whipped up a batch of these yummy truffles. Remember our Oreo Truffles? These are just like those, but made with delicious Thin Mint Cookies instead (or you can use Keebler's Grasshopper Cookies if you are waiting for your Girl Scout Cookies to arrive like I am). Also seen on Six Sisters Stuff Ingredients 4 ounces cream cheese ( 1/2 package, softened (I used fat free and it worked great) ) 12 ounces Andes Mints chips ( or Guittard's Green Mint Chips ) 9 ounces thin mints ( 1 package of Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies (or Grasshopper cookies) ) Directions In a food processor, pulse the Thin Mints a few times, and then blend them down until they are just crumbs. Next, mix the cream cheese and cookie crumbs together in a bowl until well-mixed. Roll each ball in the melted chips until it is fully covered. Adapted from Tasty Kitchen
