How to Make Homemade Candy Bars (Resolution Breaker)
If you’re like most people, you probably started off the year with a whole list of resolutions: more sleep! Less coffee! More exercise! Less television! More vegetables! Less sugar!

Scrape the peanut nougat on top of the chocolate layer in the pan, and spread it into a smooth, even layer.

Chocolate Cupcakes with Flaming Strawberries Call me easily amused, but these little torch-topped cupcakes delight me. Besides being a cute novelty item for a party, I think they would add a little drama to the end of a romantic meal.
