Anna Olson's Chewy Chocolate Brownie Cookie
Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
These more-ish cookies have a lovely crackled satin surface that looks just like a well-made pan of chocolate brownies and they have a chocolate flavour that’s just as intense due to the proportionately large quantity of chocolate in the recipe. Get that glass of cold milk ready! We may just have a plate of these on March 25, 2023, when Anna comes to Relish to launch her new cookbook - Baking Wisdom.
Mary Berg's Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake with Cornflake Crunch
Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
A happy accident while grocery shopping led to the surprise star of this cake. While perusing the baking aisle looking for peanut butter chips, I hastily grabbed a bag of butterscotch instead. Typically, I find butterscotch chips cloyingly sweet but, with the cornflakes, peanuts, and extra sprinkle of salt, oh my gosh, so good. While either will work, this is just further proof of my belief that there are no mistakes in the kitchen.
Rose Murray's Raspberry Nanaimo Bars
Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
Not only is the origin of Nanaimo Bars a hot topic of debate, the bars themselves are still hot as a favourite Canadian treat. Since the 1950's, endless variations have included Minted, Grand Marnier, Cherry, Pina Colada, Mocha, Peanut Butter and Orange. I have not seen a Raspberry Nanaimo Bar, and found that raspberry liqueur added a touch of elegance to this familiar three-layered bar cookie.

These cookies are a heavenly combination of sweet dark chocolate, earthy cinnamon, smooth vanilla and spicy cayenne pepper. They are a fun addition to your holiday cookie collection.
Hot Chocolate Nanaimo Bars
Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
A twist on a classic can be a beautiful thing, and adding hot chocolate mix to a Nanaimo bar really works! Nestled between the traditional coconut base and the melted chocolate topping is a layer of hot chocolate - spiked custard icing. When the bars are topped with mini marshmallows, the hot chocolate twist is complete.
