Chocolate Covered Honeycomb? Nigella's Ice Cream Cake

I have never seen a recipe ingredient of "Chocolate Covered Honeycomb", but leave it to Nigella--this ice cream cake has it in there!

Honey roasted peanuts, vanilla ice cream, chocolate "biscuits" (cookies), chocolate covered honeycombs, chocolate and peanut butter swirled morsels, butterscotch sauce--spectacular!

Kids Will Love These: Nigella's Rocky Road Crunch Bars

And to be honest, I can't imagine an adult being unhappy with one of these Rocky Road Crunch Bars either.

First off these look sooo easy--they're easier than rice crispy treats, I think. And they look more upscale--you could easily serve these for dessert to guests or give these bars as a gift.

No baking at all!

The Search Is Finally Over: Chocolate Drizzled Caramel Apples

You have no idea how many hours I've spent looking for a delish photo and recipe for a chocolate covered caramel apple (and just in time for Halloween!)

This one is from Rachel at Coconut & Lime--the photos are stunning!

And notice that there is no pool of caramel at the bottom--there is apparently a trick to that that I have never been able to master.

Not that extra caramel is a bad thing--it tastes good, but I have to admit that this caramel apple looks neat and tidy and not messy at all.

I need to try this recipe!

Gorgeous, Gorgeous, Gorgeous! Nigella's Old Fashioned Chocolate Cake

I love that she makes this cake on film--I am always so intimidated by baking a cake from scratch, but I like to see how she does it and how it works out (and actually looks like a cake!) Go Nigella!

Melting in your mouth cookies--yum!

These look like they are super potent--the kind of cookie that you eat at a luxurious pace, just sitting in your chaise lounge and closing your eyes as you eat each morsel.

What a treat...

Can You Feel The Intensity? Chocolate Ice Box Cookies

This is the great thing about ice box cookies--you can make them ahead, store them, and then whip them out and bake however many you need when guests show up (or when you just crave chocolate).

And these are not just any ice box cookies--they are an intense, rich, dark chocolate that looks so dense and yummy!

Perfect with a tall glass of milk--I love the festive-ness of the colored candy dots!

Waaaaay Outside the Box: Chocolate Apple Pie

I know what you're thinking--"Whah? How can this be? Chocolate Apple Pie????"

Well folks, chocolate goes with every food on the planet, so it was just a matter of time before a chocoholic genius figured out a way to infiltrate apple pie with fudgyiness.

I am willing to bet that this is DIVINE!

What do you think?

Absolutely Adorable: Birthday Girl Cutie Cupcakes

These are cupcakes, and are they not the sweetest things!

I can see folks going ga-ga over these at either a child's or a grown up girl's party--so festive and whimsical!

The hair is chocolate icing done with a star tip, and you may have been able to tell that the hair ornament is actually a slice of raspberry (awwww!). Eyes and smile are black and pink gel.

So, it looks pretty easy to do--you could even use a box mix for the cupcakes and just customize the decorations like these here!

Sheer Elegance: Profiteroles With Coffee Ice Cream and Chocolate Sauce

Profiteroles With Coffee Ice Cream and Chocolate Sauce by thebittenword.com

Profiteroles are basically cream puffs (as you can see here), but whenever I think of cream puffs I imagine sort of a vanilla cream sandwiched between the pastry part.

These cream puffs, however, take things up a few dozen notches by having coffee ice cream in the middle, and then of course the chocolate sauce drizzled on top.

If you really want to wow your friends and family, then make these for dessert--no one will believe that you actually made French pastries!

Looks pretty tasty, doesn't it?

I am dying to try making these--this is the perfect time of year for popcorn balls!

These are smothered in milk chocolate and sprinkled with toffee bits--yum!

The Martha recipe I found does not have the milk chocolate part, but we know how to melt chocolate and roll stuff in it, don't we?
