That Fluffy, Creamy Frosting Is Better Than ANY You’ve Ever Tried Before

I didn’t know it was possible to get tired of your favorite cake in the world but, ladies and gentlemen, it happened. I am still in shock and I think I may need therapy. It was a couple of weeks ago when I made the chocolate cake I had LOVED for years, and I thought, “this doesn’t taste as good as it used to”. Seriously, I had over-enjoyed that recipe!

Lucky me, I had already set my eyes on an amazing cake my friend had made for her daughter’s birthday party. It was so delicious, I just had to ask her for the recipe. And since my old favorite didn’t seem delish anymore, I grabbed my apron and got to work last weekend!

Boy, am I glad I did because this turned out amazing! The cake itself is totally scrumptious, but that special frosting will make you slap your knees – or maybe even your momma! Who would have thought a little bit of mint could make such a huge difference?

Quick Tip: For even stronger flavor, you could add a drop of mint extract to the cake batter, too.

The season isn’t over yet, and the scent of pecan is still acceptable, to waft through your kitchen.  Throw in some gooey chocolate, and a crunchy crust, and you have yourself a delicious dessert!

This recipe makes about 4 servings, so you may want to double down on the recipe if you are planning on offering these out.  Ready in under an hour, these treats are simple yet scrumptious.

Everyone loves brownies! Most people also love the combination of caramel and chocolate. It is such a yummy, classic favorite! This recipe combines those flavors in a homemade brownie, finished with a light dusting of powdered sugar. These brownies are definitely dinner guest-worthy; just make sure you have the recipe at hand. Your guests are going to be begging for it!

Grab a napkin because these brownies ooze melted caramel. Cake mix is used, instead of brownie mix, and you can choose whatever brand you’re familiar with. You can also add some semi-sweet chocolate chips in the middle layer, on top of the cooling caramel. And if you’re feeling experimental, why not try a combination of dark and white chocolate chips? Either way, these are sure to be a hit at an office holiday party, or to bring to a neighbor.

Quick tip: This recipe requires a double boiler for the caramel.  If you do not have one, you can find two pans, (one the fits in the other).  Fill the large one with water and boil.  Place the caramel in the dry pan, and stir until melted.
