All good. We chocoholics just have different ways of dealing with our addiction.

And, btw, I think my next Google search will be "small batch chocolate chip cookies".

Did you see this recipe I posted in the cookies thread, rubysmama ? I make half the recipe and it works really well!

Cookie dough can be frozen into pre-formed rounds so one could make a regular sized batch and freeze whatever won't be baked right away. Then when craving hits, just take out however many frozen rounds it will take to satisfy the craving and bake as usual. Or bake a whole batch and freeze the cookies after they've cooled. Let thaw for a bit and enjoy

No, I haven't. Will check it out.

I've done that before, as cookies freeze well.

A bunch of packages of "Cookies and Cream" Chipits were on sale for 50% off at the grocery store this weekend. I saw them and thought "Oooo...these would make nummy brownies, so I picked up a few. The package contains half white chocolate chips and half cookie bits. I put the whole bag in my brownie dough. Chocolaty, gooey brownies with crunchy cookie bits and creamy white chocolate....yum! They are currently cooling....
Hubby had to go pick up a prescription for his Dad in town (after we already went last night and the hospital made a mistake on one of them, so had to go back) then go to work (not his regular hours). Hopefully, when he gets home the smell will cheer him up! (we'll see if he gets to eat any! )

Hubby and I went to Madonna Inn a couple of weeks ago and got to try their famous pink champagne cake. It was so good I wanted to try making one myself. Found a recipe for it online and tried it. It turned out great!

I will pass on this gingerbread cake recipe,which turned out so moist and delicious.I used it to make my trifle,and I'll tell you how to do that.If you happen to have a trifle bowl,that's great but you sure don't need one.Any clear glass bowl will do,big enough that you can do a couple of layers,or you could just put a slice of cake on a plate with a drizzle of caramel sauce,a good dollop of pudding,and top it with some whipped cream (I used sugar free cool whip) and a sprinkle of heath chips.
The cake:grease and flour a 9"square baking pan.In a mixing bowl,1 1/2 c flour,1 t baking soda,1 T powdered ginger,1 t cinnamon,1 t. allspice,1/2 t nutmeg and 1/2 t ground cloves,1/2 t salt, barely 1/2 c sugar (I used 1/2 c swerve sweetener) and 1/2 c molasses and mix together.Grate in a peeled and cored apple,1/4 cup sour cream and 1/2 c melted and cooled butter.I stirred in enough milk to make a thick but stirrable batter.....maybe 1/2 c or so.Scrape into the prepared pan and bake at 350 for 25-30 min.Check as it's baking and as soon as it appears done and the sides look loosened from the pan,a skewer in the center that comes out clean will tell you it's done.Let the cake cool,and then remove it to a cutting board and cool completely.
For the pudding,I used sugar free instant vanilla,but regular instant is fine,and I used 3 boxes...doesn't have to be brand name.I did add a couple of teaspoons extra vanilla just because I can't leave well enuf alone,and I had 3 containers of sugar free cool whip,but regular is fine,and you could do this with whipped cream,too.The recipe I have called for caramel sauce for ice cream,and I didn't use it...couldn't find sugar free...but I did use a bag of heath chips.You wouldn't have to.So....
In the bottom of your bowl,put a layer of pudding (about a third).I sliced my cake into 1" slices and broke them apart a bit,and about a third goes on top of the pudding.Drizzle on some of the caramel,then a layer of cool whip and a sprinkle of toffee chips.That is your layer,and I had 3 of them.....the cool whip was the last layer and I used up the rest of the heath.Chill in the fridge and you're good to go.I hope if you try it,you'll love it as much as we did.My hubby is such a stinker when he hears something is sugar free,and he was amazed!

I have a recipe to share ....it's the Cheesecake Factory Carrot Cake Cheesecake,and it is to die for.I made it for our dessert for Easter.We are all carrot cake and cheesecake fans so it made perfect sense!
First ,prepare your springform pan by buttering rather generously and set aside.
Cheesecake-2 bricks soft cream cheese,3/4 c sugar,1 T. flour,3 eggs,1 t. vanilla-beat together and set aside.
Carrot cake-3/4 c veggie oil,1 c sugar,2 eggs,1 t. vanilla,1 c. flour,1 t. baking soda,1 t. cinnamon and 1 t. powdered ginger,1 t. salt,1 sm. can crushed pineapple,drained and save the juice,1 c. grated carrot,1/2 c shredded coconut and 1/2 c chopped nuts of your choice (I used walnuts but pecans would be great too).I couldn't find a small can of crushed pineapple,so I got the 20 oz.After it was done draining,I used half and tucked the rest in the freezer for another cake later.Mix this together like you would any cake
Spread 1 1/2 c. cake batter on the bottom of the prepared pan,and drizzle half the cheesecake mixture over that.Spread out the rest of the cake batter,and top with the remaining cheesecake mixture.I put a 9x13 pan of hot water on the bottom shelf of my oven and preheat the oven to 325.When ready,in goes your cake and it will take about an hour or maybe a little more depending on your oven.It may crack on top...sometimes some of mine do and sometimes they don't but it'll taste great anyway!Prop the oven door open with a folded pot holder and let it set for half an hour or so.Remove and take a knife and go around the very edge to loosen from the pan and let it cool the rest of the way.Here's the surprise....
Pineapple cream cheese frosting-1/4 of a brick of soft cream cheese,1 T. soft butter,1 3/4 c powdered sugar,1/2 t. vanilla and 1 T. or so pineapple juice.Mix as you would any frosting and frost your cake when completely cooled.Enjoy!
