I cannot believe I haven't written about one of my favorite Christmas gifts this year! It is a waffle stick maker from babycakes. Each pan makes 4 individually shaped waffle sticks. For some reason this shape of waffle just seems to taste better and it is perfect for dipping in melted chocolate. Make sure to cool the waffles on a rack in order to keep them crisp. There are a lot of recipes for waffles on this post. Experiment with your favorites.

10 Pounds of Chocolate Chips

When you are waiting in line to check out at the grocery store, do you ever watch what other people are buying and imagine what delicious things they are going to create when they get home? I do this all the time, especially while waiting in long lines at Costco. Imagine my reaction when I saw a huge bag of chocolate chips one day in someone's cart. Immediately I started thinking about all of the fabulous things one could make with that much chocolate. I think you can see where I am going with this. To my credit, however, and proving that I am not an impulsive shopper, I did wait a few weeks before actually loading my own 10 pound bag of chocolate into the cart. So, this is how it is going to work. Every week I will be posting a new chocolate recipe on this blog. We will see how far I can go with a little baking creativity and ten pounds of chocolate chips.

7. Coconut Macaroons

These are the macaroons that remind me of home! During the holidays this is a perfect treat to eat while watching Christmas cartoons and spending time with friends and family.

These are best when they are made small enough to pop the entire cookie in your mouth. The explosion of coconut and sugar is delicious! Coconut Macaroons 2/3 cup sugar 2 egg whites, beat stiff 1/2 teaspoon vanilla salt, dash 1 1/3 cups sweetened coconut flakes (shredded coconut) In a bowl beat the egg whites until firm. Add the vanilla and salt and continue to beat while adding the sugar one spoonful at a time. Stir in the coconut. Using a tiny spoon drop balls of the dough onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. Leave at least 2 inches in between each cookie. Bake at 325 degrees for 20 minutes. The cookies are done when the...

Last Minute Halloween Cupcakes

I believe there are three simple rules to creating the perfect cupcake: 1. it should be easy to make, 2. it should look good and 3. it should be delicious. I've been caught up in the cupcake craze traveling to various bakeries to try their "best" cupcake, but I often leave disappointed. Most of these "gourmet" cupcakes are too sweet and for over $3.00 per cupcake I think they are too expensive. I think one of the requirements of being a parent is the ability to quickly produce large numbers of cupcakes at the last moment for school bake sales and other events. Some parents buy cupcakes for these events and they try to make them look "homemade", but there are better solutions.
