Death By Chocolate

Do you love chocolate? Do you love it when guests at a party swoon over the dessert you made? Then this recipe is for you! And just in time for Valentine's Day! If you make this for your sweetie, I promise, he will be yours forever.

The original recipe for this came from Kristi R. who call this "Brayden's Chocolate Dessert" because her son loves this dessert that much. She makes it with pound cake, I make it with brownies, and I am sure they are both equally delicious!

Death By Chocolate (or "Kristy's Chocolate Dessert")

1 batch of brownies, made as directed

1 lrg pkg of chocolate pudding, made as directed

1 tub Cool Whip

1 C. Toffee Bits

After the brownies have cooled, and you have most likely eaten one, chop them into bite size cubes. Layer half of the brownies into a triffle dish or other clear bowl. Next, layer half the pudding on top of the brownies, leveling the top as you spread. Then layer half the Cool Whip over the pudding, followed by half the toffee bits. Repeat with another layer of each ingredient, finishing with the toffee bits.

So here it is....the blog I have been talking about creating for a long, long time. Did you ever think I would follow through?

This blog is a way for us to share great recipes we have made for our families and friends. So often, we hear each other talk of a great meal we made, and we all respond with, "I want that recipe." Do we ever get it? No. I am here to change that! If you make a recipe, whether it is a main course, side dish, dessert or anything edible, email me, or call me if you'd prefer, and I will share your recipe here. When you are looking for something yummy to make, come back here and look through the recipes, and hopefully you will be inspired to try something new. This is our blog, so please be sure to leave me comments with what you want to see.

Now, for something good to eat! I made this cake the other day because the weather is yucky, I was home in my warm home, and was feeling domestic. Most of the indgredients I had on hand. I shared the cake with my neighbor, Kyle, and she loved it. So did my picky son.

Yummy Yellow Cake (Soaked in Caramel)

1 Box of Yellow Cake Mix

Water, Oil and Eggs as directed on box

3 T. butter or margarine

3 T. packed light brown sugar

3 T. granulated sugar

3 T. heavy whipping cream

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Start by preparing a yellow cake as directed, in a bundt pan. Bake as suggested.

Meanwhile, prepare the Caramel Sauce. In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, combine the butter, sugars, cream and vanilla. Bring to a boil. Let boil 1 minute, stirring often.

Invert the cake onto a serving plate. While cake is still warm, spoon carmel glaze over the cake, and allow it to soak into the cake. Feel free to lick the pan when you are done. And your fingers. Serve the cake with whipped cream or ice cream. Or both. Enjoy!
