Savory Sweet Life - Easy Recipes from an...

From the first bite I was hooked but also intrigued by what it was made of. When she told me how she made it I couldn’t believe it because it was such an easy recipe yet the combination of all the ingredients produced such a wonderful taste. I will warn you though, it is very addicting. **DISCLAIMER** Although this recipe is called “Puppy Chow” it’s not for doggie consumption – since chocolate is poisonous for dogs.

Nutella Creme Brulee' It’s that time again! I know I can hardly contain myself. I think about this Challenge ALL month. I’ve had a million different ideas floating through my head trying to decide what to make. And, believe it or NOT, I didn’t decide until late Wednesday night what to do!

Chocolate Mousse This is a serious dessert mousse, friends. A chocolate experience so rich, velvety and decadent, a few tablespoons is really all that any one person needs.

I've been searching for ideas and inspiration for sweet, edible tokens of affection. Recently while watching a food show on TV, I saw chocolate soup being served at a popular chocolate bar/buffet.
