You eat chocolate with wine, so why not put chocolate in wine. I don't know. It seemed like a good idea to me. But holy smokes it was RICH. I never understand when someone says a chocolatey dessert (i.e. fudge) is too rich. TOO rich? How can something be TOO rich?
I'm keeping this post short and sweet (no pun intended!) today, after all it's Friday so I'll hold in my inner Chatty Kathy and let the picture's do most of the talking... I'm not sure what it is about the Fall season, but it makes me think of Maple Syrup.

I know it's been a while since my last post, but trust me, it's worth the wait! Together with a blogging pal of mine, we've declared March 25th Chocolate and Peanut Butter Day!
Coffee soaked lady fingers layered with creamy dreamy filling made from mascarpone cheese and egg yolks. With just a handful of ingredients this amazingly simple dessert will always be a favorite of mine. Tiramisu stole my heart years ago, when I had my first taste. It was love at first bite.
Licking the bowls kept getting better and better with each step and layer in the recipe. The bars truly live up to their dreamy name. If you're a chocolate and peanut butter lover, you've found your end-all-be-all dessert. If you've tried 'lush' desserts like lemon lush or 'better than...'
Anybody remember that homemade Greek Yogurt Ranch recipe that I posted on Wednesday? And remember when I then said I was going to post a recipe today that featured said fabulous dressing? Without further ado, I'd like to introduce you all to Chicken Bacon Ranch Potatoes. Yup, those are a thing now.
