Chocolate Almond Bark with Sea Salt

If you have been following me for a while, you would know that I am a big chocoholic. I think I am slightly obsessed with it and this has been the case ever since I was a little kid. Back then we didn’t use to get too many different varieties of chocolates in India so every year I would look forward to my aunt’s visit to India (she used to live in Dubai) so that I could stuff my mouth with fancy chocolates. Anyway fancy or not, chocolates are always more than...

Crispy Oatmeal Raspberry Bars

The fact that I’m a chocoholic is known to everyone who knows me. I mean I can live on chocolates forever and will probably not need anything else. Yes that is how much I love it, I think chocolate runs in my blood! No kidding! When I started baking I wanted to add chocolate in everything and I still do because there’s nothing quite like it in my opinion. I am always looking out for different varieties of chocolate candies to munch on or to bake with.

During my recent grocery trip, I...

Fudgy Brownies with Chocolate Glaze

    Before posting this recipe, I was looking at my blog’s home page and all I could see was chocolates and red and pink and some more red.

    White Chocolate Oreo Truffles with Raspberry Surprise

      Welcome back to Cook With Manali Valentine’s Day series and we are on recipe #3 already! 😀 I was telling my husband yesterday that I need to cut down on my baking spree. That’s nothing unusual though, I tell him that once every 2 days and so he has got so used to it that now he just looks at me and says “fine” . Just plain simple “fine”. He knows this is one thing I cannot do, like cannot especially when there are...

      Peppermint Bark

        Peppermint is synonyms with holidays and the easiest treat you can make this holiday season has to be the peppermint bark. I am not sure if this even qualifies as a recipe just because it’s so easy. Basically you are not creating anything from scratch but simply using already available products to form these barks. It’s super simple, super quick and you can pack and gift them as little gifts to your friends. If you are running short of time and don’t know what to make at the last moment, makes these peppermint...

        White Chocolate Mint Pistachio Fudge

          So the peppermint season has officially begun and I can see my blogger friends coming up with some wonderful recipes already. Does that mean the pumpkin season is over? I have to confess that I prefer pumpkin over mint, like so much more. I have grown to love pumpkin, it is just wonderful. I love how it mixes with all the spices, ahh now I’m craving for a slice of this moist Pumpkin Bread. Anyway moving over pumpkin, let’s talk about mint.

          Do you like it? I do...

          Caramel Pecan Brownies

            Brownies are one of the easiest things to bake. Don’t you guys agree? You don’t need a stand mixer, heck you don’t even need a hand mixer for making brownies. The batter is made in 1 bowl with a spatula, there’s no creaming, sifting etc. and you just have to mix everything together till combined. I am addicted to baking but if you ask me if there’s one thing that I don’t like about it, well it has to be the cleaning part. My kitchen is such a mess after I’m done baking and that’s why I love baking...

                White Chocolate Macadamia Nut & Nutella Blondies

                  White chocolate is not everyone’s cup of tea. Even if you like chocolate, chances are you despise the white chocolate – the milky flavor and sweetness is a tad too much for some people to handle I guess. As far as I am concerned I am neutral about it. I...
