Now, Iā€™m not one to brag about myself too much–I always try to stay humble–butĀ I do like to think that I am a pretty decent baker. I religiously adhere to the recipes, and it usually turns out to be pretty damn good, if I do say so myself. I have dabbled in all sorts of cakes, cookies, brownies, and pretty much anything else that involves sweets! On this cold, MarchĀ afternoon, I canā€™t help but think back to some of my favorite desserts Iā€™ve made and hope that maybe others can enjoy them, too ā˜ŗ

These little molten lava cakes came from a late-night craving/inspiration of Applebeesā€™ lava cakes. I needed something simple, chocolatey, and I wanted it to melt in my mouth. These bite sized desserts do all of that and more- and they are ready in less than 15 minutes! A great midnight snack for you and your bff.

These gooey chocolate chip cookies are much more special than your average recipe–they are actually vegan! I wanted to make them as a surprise for a friend over the summer, and they turned out to be some of the best cookies Iā€™ve ever had. Iā€™ve made them on several other occasions, and everyone seems to have the same reaction:Ā ā€œWait, these are vegan?!ā€

Ok, I know I couldnā€™t give you JUST chocolate recipes, even though those are my favorite. This is actually one of my favorite baked goods to make:Ā an Apple Cinnamon Cake with a cinnamon glaze. Its moist, warm layers are served perfectly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and are great for birthdays and other big parties.

Happy baking!
