  • Mother’s Day Brunch Ideas

    Stuffed Nutella French Toast with Strawberries - I promise you that anyone you make this for will be totally thrilled. It's one of the best breakfasts we've ever made.

    Blueberry Cornmeal Butter Cake - Sure, you could have cake for dessert, but it's even more fun to have it for breakfast. This one is studded with blueberries and topped with a wonderful streusel.

    Lemon Loaf - This sweet and tart lemon loaf is like the kind at Starbucks but way better. If you're lucky, there will be enough leftovers for Monday morning.

    Goat Cheese Drop Biscuits - Goat cheese, Parmesan, garlic and herbs? Count me in. These biscuits go perfectly with brunch or dinner.

  • Katie

    I would probably use cinnamon to make a flavor like mexican chocolate.

  • Coleen

    I like to mix chocolate with fruit flavors (orange, strawberry, cherry) or caramel. I probably should branch out one of these days and be more adventerous.

    My top choices to combine with would be figs/fig preserves and pecans (which I’m not sure I can get in a extract).
    However, chocolate goes good with everything.

  • kelsey

    My all-time favorite combo is chocolate and peanut butter.

  • Stacy

    I’d go with mint.

  • Jessica

    hmm, anything with chocolate is good! I’d seriously probably eat it plain (I’d eat a bag of chocolate chips if I could) but if I had to mix it with something it’d prob be cinnamon (made some delicious cinnamon truffles over Thanksgiving)

    RIght now I’ve been on a quest to find the PERFECT fudge, moist, thickly amazing chocolate cake to use in a black forest cake – and THIS chocolate would be so fun to try!
