My mother in law is a great baker. She really loves to go all out and make delicious treats for the holidays and anyone’s birthday. She is pretty famous for her ultra special, secret recipe of Hershey’s chocolate cake. It is rich, very chocolatey and totally delicious. I know, there are so many chocolate cakes out there, but hers is truly the best! Everyone always begs her to make it for their birthday and she gladly does.

Another thing that she makes often is a Yule log cake. It is so cool because it is a perfect chocolate cake wrapped so neatly and tightly with a chocolate filling. My gosh, it is beautiful to cut and looks so elegant. Now, I know the holidays are behind us and a Yule log really is not in season anymore, but I want to show you this amazing option! This is a log cake as well, but the filling is green and minty. It is such a refreshing treat. I absolutely love the combination of mint and chocolate, and if you do too, you are going to LOVE this easy to make and super impressive dessert. Give it a try and you will not be disappointed!

Quick Tip: Never frost a cake until it has completely cooled.

Everyone loves Girl Scout cookies. The favorite hands down always seems to be the Thin Mints. This version is so simple you will make it over and over again. These would make really nice gifts when you go to visit family and friends or at Christmas time.

This version calls for another favorite of everyone and so you get a double delight in this cookie. Oreo cookies are the base of this cookie and that can be your own secret or you can let others think you whipped them up from scratch. Either way, anyone who gets a bite of these will think you’re the best cook in town. Serve them with a nice cup of hot tea or coffee for a mid day treat or an after dinner snack.

Do you want to know a great way to beat the heat this summer? I’ve found the perfect dessert recipe that’ll totally cool you off while you bask in the sun beside the pool. Chocolate mint brownies! These fudgy confections are the perfect solution to turning down the heat in your mouth this summer season.

Most folks associate chocolate mint brownies with the holiday season, but here at my house, we eat them all year ’round. Fudgy chocolate embracing a mint filling is so darn good! Trust me when I say you won’t want to be sharing these little darlings with your neighbors. Forget the diet you’re on because you’ll be scarfing these decadent dessert bars down like nobody’s business.
