Decadent Earl Gray Brownies

Decadent Earl Gray Brownies

These brownies are so simple to make, and the results are decadent, velvety, and fudgy. Bergamot oil comes from the fragrant rind of the citrus fruit, and it adds a lovely aromatic, floral note to the richness of the chocolate. If you don’t have earl gray tea on hand, don’t let that stop you from making this brownie recipe. They are still delicious without any added frills.

Buttered Pecan & Bittersweet Chocolate Muffins

Leaves are turning yellow and orange, the weather is getting cooler, days are shortening, and pecans up in pecan trees are ripening if they haven’t already—their husks will turn from green to brown and then split and crack. These buttered pecan and bittersweet chocolate muffins are just the ticket for cozy autumn mornings.

Orange, Chocolate Chunk, & Walnut Cookies (with vegan & gluten free option)

Chocolate and orange together is one of my absolute favorite things. The addition of orange oil or flavor to chocolate makes an incredibly moreish dessert. These cookies have bittersweet chocolate, orange zest and extract, and toasted walnut crumbles to make them even more addicting—you can’t help but want to eat more of them!
