Chocolate Frangelico Truffles

Chocolate Frangelico Truffles ~ Elegantly rich in style and in flavor, these truffles are a great holiday dessert.

Every year for Thanksgiving I make these truffles along with my pumpkin pie. They are perfect for light dessert eaters who want just a nibble of something sweet and a rich treat for others who catch there second eating wind when the word dessert is mentioned . .. ahem, I’m including myself in the latter.

I love the taste of Frangelico and love how it pairs with chocolate even more.

German Chocolate Cake

Mini German Chocolate Cakes ~ Like Levis to jeans, German Chocolate Cake is an American classic when it comes to cakes.

Small in size, large in flavor and forever popular in my house, I decided to flip the standard German Chocolate Cake into minis.

Yes, I know I’m a mini fanatic. Although a little more work than making one cake or cupcakes, I much prefer mini cakes for their curb appeal. Aside from that, I like the even bite of filling and frosting rather than the gob of sugar sweetness on the top of a cupcake. I also prefer serving a fully decorated mini cake rather than a slice. Call me a nutcase, I call it packaging. I’m a sucker for well designed packaging and that includes cakes. Continue reading German Chocolate Cake
