Round-Up Wednesday (October 14, 2015)

Round-Up Wednesday (October 14, 2015)

I’ve got a little bit of a sweet tooth. Ok, a lot of a sweet tooth. Which #NationalDessertDay is testing my self-restraint and I’m telling myself I don’t *need* to make one of these. Don’t we always *need* dessert? These are the six recipes I’ve been dying to try and I may just have to pull out the mixer this evening and whip up one. Now which one.

Recipes for Chocolate Lovers

There are fruit people and chocolate people. I’m a chocolate girl. Some may say there’s a thing as too much chocolate? I say, Never! In my book the more chocolate the better.

CHOCOLATE SALTED CARAMEL PRETZEL BROWNIES

Ice cream has the number one spot in my book for dessert, but brownies take a close second. These ooie-gooie brownies (my favorite type) topped with soft caramel and pretzels look like something worth getting a tummy ache for because you know that’s what is going to happen when you have more than one of these! This mouth-watering recipes comes from yammiesnoshery.com

While chocolate is my go to, there are some fruit recipes I can’t pass up. Anything lemon, raspberry, or peach. And I’m a sucker for carrot cake.

MY FAVORITE CARROT CAKE

I’m kind of a Carrot Cake snob. The best carrot cake in my opinion is moist, doesn’t have raisins, and the right ratio of frosting to cake and this cake promises to deliver on all accounts. I’m going to have to put this recipe from sallysbakingaddiction.com claims to the test soon.
