The Blue Trio

All three items shown in the video have won a blue ribbon. It's my pleasure to present them to you.



These Fudgy Brownies get their super-chocolaty taste from Dutch cocoa and European dark chocolate containing 70% cocoa while brown sugar and sweet butter attribute to the brownies' moist and chewy texture. Don't forget the milk!
Yields: an 8" x 8" pan.

The Caramel Turtle bars are seriously addictive. The melt-in-your-mouth shortbread crust is generously sprinkled with toasted pecans or almonds, and then covered with soft homemade caramel. To top it off, it's drizzled with dark chocolate.
Yields: an 8"x8" or a 9"x13" pan.

Almond-flavored dark chocolate ganache truffles are silky smooth on the inside whereas the outside is coated with crunchy chopped almonds that have been toasted to release more of their natural nutty flavor. Simply delicious!
Yields: a bag of 12 or 24 truffles, or a fancy box of 30.

Chocolate Cookie Extravaganza

The Triple Chocolate Cookie is a dark chocolate cookie made with a hint of espresso and three kinds of chocolate; unsweetened, bittersweet and semi-sweet. If that's not enough chocolate already, this moist and fudgy cookie is filled with chocolate chips.
Yields: one dozen cookies.

Minty Chocolate Crackles are cookies that are rolled in powdered sugar before baking. The oven is the place where all the magic happens; they spread, causing the powdered sugar coating to crack. These chocolaty cookies are crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside, with a pleasing mint flavor.
Yields: one dozen cookies.

This rich German Chocolate Cake has moist chocolate cake layers that are filled with a sweet and scrumptious pecan-coconut filling. Toasting the pecans and the coconut brings out even more of their natural flavors. To top it off, the filling is also spread over the top of the cake. For that extra chocolate flavor, a dark chocolate glaze is applied to the side of the cake.
Yields: one two-layer cake (8-10 slices) or one four-layer cake (14-16 slices).
