White Chocolate Peppermint Fudge #SundaySupper

December 22, 2013 ·

White Chocolate Peppermint Fudge is a wonderful, festive fudge recipe that is super easy to make with no candy thermometer required!

Over the summer I found a fudge recipe that has now been sitting in my ‘to-make’ pile for months. It’s for Pumpkin Pie Fudge, looks fabulous, but requires a candy thermometer. Having to use a candy thermometer was just a little too high maintenance for what I had in mind, so the recipe sits. Then I found a fudge recipe that requires no candy thermometer, and I was intrigued. White Chocolate Peppermint Fudge that is super easy to make? This could be wonderful (and dangerous!)

Mocha Truffle Cookies

December 17, 2013 ·

Mocha Truffle Cookies combine the classic chocolate and coffee pairing into a tasty little cookie. Easy to make, perfect for any occasion!

Whenever I think about my grandma, aside from her baking prowess, two things come to mind. Wherever we went, we were always together, like joined at the hip together. I thought she was always following me, and I overheard her say how she thought it was cute how I always followed her. One thing for certain was how much we both loved coffee! After dinner, she and I would often enjoy a little cup of decaf together. I remember one of the last Christmases with her, we were sitting at the table, holding our dainty cups of coffee. She looked at me and not so subtly whispered ‘you know what we need with coffee? chocolaaaaaaate!’ It makes me smile just to think about it. She was so funny and so right on! The combination of chocolate and coffee is up there with chocolate and peanut butter or chocolate and milk (or chocolate and chocolate!) …

December 15, 2013 ·

Red Wine Chocolate Cake is a decadent chocolate bundt cake that is as delicious as it is easy to make. The red wine in the batter gives this cake a sophisticated flair, making it a wonderful finale to your Holiday meal, or any special occasion.

This week Sunday Supper partnered with Gallo Family Vineyards to share Memorable Holiday Meals: Holiday Traditions and Recipes using wine in the recipe. When it comes to memorable Holiday recipes, a cake always stands out as something special. So when we received two bottles of wine from them – Moscato and Cabernet Sauvignon – this Red Wine Chocolate Cake came to mind immediately. Their full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon has tastes of rich black fruit and spice, which I thought would complement the chocolate perfectly….
