Decadent chocolate cake spiked with jalapeños and Kahlua creates a molten-centered Mexican dessert with subtle heat and deep mocha flavor for adventurous bakers.

Norwegian almond bars with an almond paste filling spiced with cardamom and cinnamon between buttery crumb layers. A Scandinavian cookie bar with a unique potato flake filling.

Cream cheese Snickers candy bar pie folds melted Snickers and peanut butter into a light cream cheese mousse, lifted with whipped cream and egg whites and set in a pastry shell. A chilled chocolate-caramel-peanut showstopper.

Moist chocolate zucchini bread with cinnamon, cloves, and chocolate chips sprinkled on top. Makes 2 loaves and is the best way to sneak garden zucchini into a chocolatey treat.

Sour cream apple pie with a thick walnut-cinnamon streusel topping. Granny Smiths in vanilla custard under a buttery crumble. The high-heat start sets the shell, the low finish cooks the apples through.

You can try, but they taste great and your guests will have trouble figuring out what they are.

I make this cake for about 10 years, every time people like it.

This is the only only other brownie recipe I have found that rivals the 3 level oatmeal brownies. The brownie is chewy and extra chocolatey, and the coconut topping tastes just like a perfect soft and crunchy macaroon. MAKE.

Cognac cookies, no-bake bourbon-ball cousins made with melted semisweet chocolate, crushed vanilla wafers, finely chopped pecans, and a generous splash of cognac. Roll in sugar and let them mellow.
