Frosted Raspberry and Crème Bites

Frosted Raspberry and Crème Bites ~ Like a good pair of heels to a dress, the frosted berries brings an added sparkle to this simple bite size dessert.

Small in size but packed with flavor, the sweet and tangy tart of the berries adds a nice compliment to the buttery puff pastry while lending a fruity balance to the vanilla crème.

These Frosted Raspberry and Creme Bites are incredibly easy to make and always a hit for the holidays. If you keep up with my blog you know if I’m crazy for mini, but these little guys are micro-mini. Hardly bigger than the berries themselves this dessert is truly a bite size dessert and not a finger dessert that can sometimes turn into a messy two bite affair or a mouth-stuffing squirrel bite.

Chocolate and Toffee Chip Scones with Pecans

Want to know the whopper on this one? This is a lighter and healthier version of a traditional scone and not just because they are mini scones either—trust me when I say they will fool even the most discerning palate.

This is also a recipe I developed for a friendly bake-off . I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! has invited me and 9 other bloggers to participate in a holiday bake-off on Friday, November 12. The bake-off takes place in New York City at Unilever’s Test Kitchen. Not only is this an all expense paid trip, but they have also been kind enough to sponsor the giveaway package below, so you can recreate the scones in your home.

Ingrid’s Chocolate Truffle Tart

Ingrid’s Chocolate Truffle Tart ~ A chocolate lover’s dream. The deep dark chocolate flavor in this dessert is delivered in a smooth body with a chocolate tart shell that perfectly crumbles and compliments each bite.

If you haven’t noticed, let me tell you – I love chocolate. I never really noticed how many desserts I make that incorporate it until my friend Ingrid of 3B’s alluded to it in a comment.

Her love for chocolate runs as deep as my son’s love for peas, which is about one to two peas deep. So while I was planning and making this my first thought was of Ingrid and how she will probably sigh and say, “Another chocolate recipe”?

Yep, another one, Ingrid. Can we still be friends, even if I’m being a bit of a tease by immortalizing your dislike for chocolate in a dessert? And while this is a Alice Medrich recipe, I have endearingly renamed it Ingrid’s Chocolate Truffle Tart. Continue reading Ingrid’s Chocolate Truffle Tart
