One of The Most Decadent Quick Breads I Have Ever Made

Oh my! Ever had a craving for chocolate? Well this should do the trick for satisfying that sweet tooth. There is just something  luscious about a well baked quick bread. My mom used to make quick breads all the time and when I was a kid in 4-H I was always trying new recipes to enter in the county fair. I remember making anorange cranberry bread that was pretty darned good, if I say so myself, but I bet this recipe would have been a blue ribbon winner for sure.

The balance of cocoa and sweetness is perfect and it literally just melts in your mouth from the very first taste.

In fact you might want to go ahead and make a double batch of this recipe because I will guarantee you that one loaf is going to disappear so quickly you might even start a riot.

This is what Mel of Mels Kitchen Café has to say about this amazingly delicious recipe.

Simple as simple can be, this bread is exactly what a quick bread should be: quick and extremely non-fussy.

So amazing and simple, this double chocolate fudge cookie only uses 6 ingredients to make.

I am used to baking cookies. A lot of cookies! In fact when our kids have friends that stop in one of the first things they do is head to the cookie jar because they know that something freshly baked is under the lid.

Since we have 6 kiddos..yes that is a lot..NO we didn’t set out to have 6 kids but what can I say, they are incredible people and our family wouldn’t be complete without everyone in it.

But back to the cookies and batches. I have had to make big batches of cookies for decades. Usually that means 4 batches at a time so that I can put a big container in the freezer and refill the jar as needed.

Well, we are down to only one kiddo still in the nest so my cookie consumption has dropped off considerably.

These cookies are awesome. If I need a quick batch baked up I can make these and have them ready in a flash without it becoming an all afternoon event. And these are all ingredients I can easily keep on hand.

In fact, I might just have a few boxes of mix stashed in the back corner so I can whip up a batch and take them to the next sport event. Fresh out of the oven double chocolate fudge cookies are amazing and you know what they say, “Caring is sharing!”

This is what Lauren says of her Betty Crocker inspired recipe.

This unique snack is sure to disappear as soon as you put it on the table!

Whether you are playing cards with friends, just hanging out with family, or planning your next movie night, there is something amazing that happens when you combine sweet and salty together. Ohh YES!

Sure there is always the standard pop-corn and goldfish crackers, but every once in a while it is nice to mix things up.

This quick and easy snack is full of all the favorites! And is easy enough for your teen to make next time they have friends coming over. Can I get happy face emoji for that one!

Being able to have a few things on hand in the pantry is a big deal for those on the go. You never know when your friends might want to get together to hang out or invite you over.

I love baking brownies, and cookies, but sometimes the last thing you want to do is have to bake something, and it takes some time.

This recipe is super fast and super amazing. The fact it has peanut butter in it? Well, let’s just say I am one happy camper.

This is what Lauren has to say about this yummy snack.

Layers of chocolate, mini pretzel twists and Reese’s pieces candy are topped with a yummy homemade peanut butter sauce. These Chocolate and Peanut Butter Pretzel Bars are the perfect sweet and salty treat.

Quick Tip: Going to a friends house for a few days? Why not take along the ingredients and make it there? I love that this can be cut into small squares. Perfect for playing cards, or crafting, when you need a little something to satisfy your sweet tooth.

This dessert brings two favorite flavors together. A match made in heaven. Seriously.

Well I think this is a perfect example of marketing that has helped keep this classic candy on the top of any chocolate lovers list.

In the Reeses Peanut Butter Cup ads a peanut butter lover was always colliding with a chocolate lover. Bringing the two flavors together in a twist of fate type of hype.

As cheesy as some of the scenarios were, the truth of the matter is that something amazing happens when you combine those two distinct flavors and textures.

Be still my beating heart!

This is what Vera from Vera’s Kitchen Corner has to say about this twist on the classic candy treat.

If there’s nothing you love more in the world than the combination of chocolate and peanut butter you must try this Reese’s Peanut Butter Cheesecake recipe! Oreo crust, creamy peanut butter cheesecake filling loaded with chocolate chips, milk chocolate ganache with a pile of chopped Reese’s cups on top=pure bliss!!!
