Chocolate Cherry Blossoms {Behind The Curtain Dessert Challenge}

Chocolate Cherry Blossoms, a  retro chocolate cordial candy sitting on top of a rich chocolate cooking.  Now that is a winning flavor combination for a Valintine Celebration. I am happy to participate in Behind The Curtain Dessert Challenge this month hosted by a blogger friend, Sheryl from Lady Behind The Curtain .  This month's challenge is cherries and chocolate, so today I am bringing  Chocolate Cherry Blossoms.  These cookies are easy and quick to make into a holiday treat.   Valentine's is today and what better time to make them.   All you need is 4 ingredients, a bought cookie mix, butter, cocoa, and an egg.    The cookie mix has a perfect texture, and I went with the Cherry Cordials to push down in the center.   You may want to use Cordial Kisses if you prefer, but there is just something nostalgic about the cordial cherries I couldn't pass up.   I have fond memories as a child getting them for a Christmas gift.

This breakfast in itself is gorgeous, but if you would like to put a little more WOW in this already gorgeous breakfast, serve some dipping chocolate in a  small bowl and fresh fruit.  We are having fresh pineapple, since that is my husband's favorite.  I know there are a lot of his favorite in the pos

Brandy's Brussel Sprouts with Bacon adds a delightful touch to our Thanksgiving menu!

Sweet, tender, and just a little crunch, these  Brussel Sprouts with Bacon   add a delightful touch to any Thanksgiving meal!  Brandy's Brussel Sprouts with Bacon has been on our Thanksgiving table the last several years and has become our favorite green vegetable on the menu.  So much so that Brandy, my daughter-in-law, quadrupled the recipe this year, just so there would be leftovers with the Turkey and Southern Cornbread Dressing .  Shallots, bacon, and chicken stock are all you need to add great flavor to this simple, five ingredient side dish.  The night before Brandy washed and trimmed the brussels sprouts chopped the bacon and shallots, and they were ready to saute the next morning. Sweet, tender, and just a little crunch, these Brussel Sprouts with Bacon added a delightful touch to our Thanksgiving meal!
