Recipes for the Chocolate Lovers

It is no surprise for anyone who knows me to know that I love anything chocolate related. Today, I would like to share with you some of my favorite chocolate recipes from other websites that I find myself using very often.

The first recipe that I would like to share with you all is a flour-less chocolate cake. This recipe is quite simple for a cake recipe. It only requires about six ingredients to make, and most of those ingredients are ingredients that are found in the common household. This is the recipe that I use when I am craving something chocolate, but do not want to put in a lot of effort to make. You can find the recipe by clicking here.

The next recipe that I want to share with you guys is on the list of my all-time favorite recipes. I find myself making this recipe more during the summer and fall months because it is a s’more brownie. It is a little bit of a more involved recipe because of the steps it requires, but in my opinion it is definitely worth a try. You can find the recipe by clicking here.

The last recipe is a recipe that was a classic for my family growing up. This recipe is specifically popular for children. It has several names, but is most commonly referred to as puppy or monkey munch. This is a fairly simple recipe to make, and is a great snack for the chocolate and peanut butter lovers. The recipe can be found by clicking here.

New Shop Products Available

I have recently opened up a shop so that anyone who is interested is able to purchase some products with my logo on it, to help support my business. The first product I have created is a t-shirt. The t-shirt comes in a variety of fourteen different colors and is available in sizes small to a double extra-large. There is a Daisy’s Delicious Desserts logo that is on the front side of the t-shirt in the upper center. The t-shirt costs $27.50. The next product that I have made that is available for purchase is a coffee mug. The mug is both dishwasher and microwave safe that has a 15 oz. capacity. The mug is currently available in white and has my business logo on one side of the mug. The mug is currently available for a price of $14.39. The last option I have will be very beneficial to fellow bakers. I have made an apron that is available for purchase. The apron is currently available in three different colors and it has two larger pockets on the front for easy storage and quick access to items you might need when baking. It also has my business logo on the front center of the apron. The apron is currently available at a price of $20.39. To find any of the described products, please click here. I currently only have the three products for sale, but I will be adding different items to the collection soon, so please check back if you do not see an item that you are interested it!

2 Recently Discovered Products

I have recently come across a product that I have found to be very interesting. Most people do not ever consider putting beer and baking together. But I have found an eBook that includes 35 recipes that all have to do with baking with beer. The book provides step-by-step instructions for each recipe and includes a picture with every recipe that shows the finished product. The same producer also has an eBook for protein packed pancakes. This eBook includes 40 recipes with the step-by-step instructions and a final picture of the product as well. I would recommend giving one or both of these eBooks a try, as they are only between $7.99 and $9.99 and they are both full of new recipes waiting for you to try. Both books are written by Poppy Locks and can be found by clicking here. Another product that I have also recently come across is the Guilt-Free Desserts: Your Guide to Better Baking book. This collection provides 50 all natural desserts and has recipes for gluten free and low glycemic desserts as well. When you purchase this book, you will also receive a complimentary Awesome Appetizers cookbook and a Copycat Girl Scout Cookies – America’s Five Favorite Girl Scout Cookies Recreated with Real Food Ingredients book. This Guilt-Free Desserts book can be yours for a one time purchase of $19.00. You can purchase the book by clicking here. Either one of these options would be a great opportunity to learn some new recipes to bake.

A Look Back

Today I wanted to create a post that will help to summarize some of my previous posts.
The first post I would like to mention is my post on Chocolate Covered Pretzels. This is one very easy recipe to make, and is always a hit at my gatherings. Very simple snack to bake and then take on the go for a handy snack. 

I would also like to highlight my post for the Fruit Pizza. This is one of the “healthier” desserts that I love to bake and my friends and family always love it. It is a good break from all of those chocolate desserts and is a nice light and refreshing dessert. 

A third post I would like to point out is my post on Summer Treats. This post has a few different treats that I find myself tending to want to bake more in the summer because of all of the fruit involved and the summer feel that these desserts give off. Included in the post is a lemon cake, some homemade ice pops (very popular choice for baking with kids), some berry cookie cups, and some white chocolate cherry no bake mini pies. 

One last post I would like to include is the Eating with your Eyes post. This post highlights how to spruce up and decorate some of the desserts that you bake. Also provided in this post is a like to a tutorial I have found to be very helpful on how to create simple chocolate plastic roses to help decorate cakes, cupcakes, etc. 

Analyzing my website



Overall, I think that my website is pretty well put together. I think that the design could use some overall work, which I hope to work on soon. It is not bad, but it could use some work to perhaps become more appealing and more eye catching. People often look with their eyes before deciding if they want to read something or not, so having a more attractive and alluring design to the web site would help to retain viewers I believe. The web site covers a variety of baking topics including helpful tips and various recipes, but I also hope to expand those topics. I think my web site does a good job in incorporating ideas for both professional and people who are just now starting to learn how to bake. I think that I post often, which can help me to not only attract but also help me to retain visitors to the web site.  I think that eventually adding more features such as more options to make it easier for the viewers would help with keeping the traffic up. Maybe a search bar so they can search through some of the posts if they are looking for a certain aspect or recipe, etc. Overall, I think my web site has some good basics and is a good starter for anyone who is just learning how to blog, but it will definitely need some sprucing up in order to get viewers to want to come back or subscribe to my posts.
