Chocolate Fix: Chocolate-Filled Boston Cream Pie
Chocolate Filled Boston Cream Pie is a cake. Ha! It’s definitely one of my favorites, but why is it called a pie?? I looked it up. Read on to see what I found out!
Chocolate Fix: Oatmeal Brownies
Oatmeal Brownies—because we can’t have too many delicious brownie recipes, right? These came about after a little experimentation with an old recipe that had a good flavor but was a little too dry. And let me tell you, experimenting with brownie recipes is such a trial! (Not!) Brownies are a traditional go-to treat, and why not? One bowl, a few minutes of prep, and then the delicious and mouth-watering scent of chocolatey goodness baking in the oven.

I don’t know who it was or where they found it, but the flavor and texture were to die for. We made it a lot. It swiftly became the go-to chocolate cake recipe, but I have to warn you that it does not work for making cupcakes! A shame, but sacrifices must be made. I never liked making cupcakes anyway. We had a little trouble with the middle caving in, but my son was still […]
Chocolate Fix: Avocado Chocolate Cream Pie
