Baker’s Bites: Happy 87th Birthday, Lola!
My dad’s mom turned 87 last Saturday. Baked her some chocolate and peanut butter chip cookies to share with everyone for lunch. I love making chocolate chip cookies! They’re always a big hit as proven by the crumbs left from the dozen I left for the house. My dad says the box we gave lola was also wiped out. Hooray!…

Baker’s Bites: The Inception Cookie
I’ve been wanting to try this ever since it popped up on my browser on one of my many blog-hopping sessions. A cookie within a cookie. How genius is that? I was kind of disappointed (maybe I was expecting too much?), but topped with a scoop of Vanilla Almond ice cream, it was perfect! Cool Tip: Cookie dough chilled overnight…

Baker’s Bites: Cookie Fail
I’ve been obsessing about these melt-in-your-mouth brownie cookies for a while. I had some egg whites left over from making the Chocolate Turtle Pie for New Year’s so I tried the recipe over the weekend. They came out chewy and too sweet (I didn’t have any dark chocolate around so I used semisweet). Next time, I think I will use…

Baker’s Bites: Chocolate Chunk and Pecan Cookies
Had a small block of chocolate left from my cake pop experiment a few months ago (the end product is in the December issue of Candy!), so I decided to chop them into chunks and mix chopped pecans with it into my cookie batter. Delicious chocolate chunks in every bite! Merry Christmas, everyone! (:

Chocoholics Anonymous
Actually, I admit it and embrace my chocoholic-ness wholeheartedly. I’m no chocolate snob. It doesn’t matter if it costs P15 or as much as P1,500. If it’s good chocolate, I’ll eat it and love it just the same. My love affair with chocolate started at a very young age. I remember Christmas in Marikina when I was a kid. My…

Artisan Chocolate
Last Tuesday, we headed to seven different stores for a shoot. These pretty things caught my eye when we entered Team Manila. I got the Milk Chocolate with Pili and Pinipig and the Milk Chocolate with Organic Batangas Barako Coffee. Good stuff. They’re a bit pricey at P95 a bar but I’d gladly buy another one! My friend swears the…
