This is my favorite version of cobbler. It’s cakey and sweet and can really stand on its own without a creamy accompaniment such as ice cream or whipped cream.

To be honest, there is no real "secret" to this bread pudding other than that it's flavored with a heap of white chocolate. What the white chocolate does is lift the standard bread and butter pudding to high decadence but in a subtle, not in-your-face sort of way. The white chocolate heightens the butteriness of the pudding, and the creaminess of the chocolate adds a velvety texture to the custard that's divinely rich. Warm white chocolate bread pudding is the epitome of comfort dessert food.

The tart, tangy flavor of fresh raspberries make these delicious cream cheese brownies a truly special treat. Cake-like around the edges, fudge-like in the middle and swirled with lightly sweetened, creamy cheese they're a fabulous combination of textures and flavors.

Oh my Goodness!! Who knew that fresh apples, crescent roll dough, and citrus soda could make such a wonderful treat!"

Tiramisu flavored cheesecake, combines the flavors and richness of Tiramisu and NY Cheesecake. Just before serving, grate some semisweet chocolate on the top."

How about brownies so packed full of sweet and salty flavor they practically tackle your taste buds? Starting with a basic brownie recipe, I made these ones extreme by packing them chock-full of gooey caramel and dark chocolate, roasted peanuts, and salty pretzels. The sweet plays offense, pummeling your taste buds with a rich, chocolate-filled flavor, with salty bringing up the defense, with a crunch and savoriness from the peanuts and pretzels. Yes indeed, when sweet and salty team up, everyone wins.

They are chewy and gooey and absolutely full of cinnamon flavor. They were almost a little apple-y tasting, but I think that’s just because I’m so used to associating cinnamon and caramel with apple pie? Everyone else who ate them thought the same thing, though. Weird, man.

Irish coffee... only more wonderfully sinful! The fudge turned out remarkably smooth and creamy

perfect summer embodiment a buttermilk bundt — bronzed with a faint crunch at the edges, tender to the point of pudding-ness in the center, and welcome wherever you take it. It’s dotted with slumped berries, marbled with pink and purple streaks and topped with a thick, tart lemon glaze. And if that doesn’t scream summer, what does?

Though it may seem otherwise, this cheesecake isn't overly sweet, and I really love how the strawberry flavor is heightened by the tanginess of the cream cheese.  I can't help but think it would be a good pick-me-up for someone feeling blue. It's almost impossible to be unhappy around all those sprinkles!
