The Delicious: Donsuemor Madeleines

November 2, 2012 by

 

I  love these lil’ french delights called Madeleines, and for me there is no doubt that Donsuemor does them best.

You can eat em’ by themselves, or create even more delicous desserts with them like ice cream sandwiches, coated cake pops, tiramisu, the possiblities are endless with these lil’ bundles of joy.

Donsuemor distributes their madeleines nationally. In Southern California you can find them in Costco’s and Smart and Final stores.  You can also order them online at Donsuemor.com in chocolate coated, and un-coated varieties.

With the plethora of holiday gatherings comming up in the next few months, bring a batch of these and be the jewel of the dessert table.

Your Daily Delicious: Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites

July 22, 2012 by

Two of my favorite ingredients are chocolate and peanut butter.

Marry the two and add the crunch of a salty pretzel…I’m in heaven! I remember growing up I would actually dip chocolate covered pretzels into peanut butter and I thought it was the best thing ever. This Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Pretzel treat makes it easier to enjoy the delicious combo and is a nice twist (pun intended) on the plain ole’ pretzel snack. There is something so delectable about the salty and sweet flavors that melt my heart… okay, I know I’m talking about food, but these chocolate covered peanut butter pretzels are seriously addicting. The best part is that they’re homemade!

peanut butter ball and pretzel

Combine the ingredients into a bowl and mix until you can form mini peanut butter balls in your hand without it sticking too much.
