I found nonpareil sprinkles worked best for these donut holes but it's a chance to have fun with holiday or everyday sprinkles (my son likes green) And the thing is, my little guy always goes for the chocolate ones when it comes to those munchkins so these are right up his alley. I saw this recipe for chocolate cake donut holes (shaped like donut holes or what we call "munchkins" but they're really little fried chocolate cakes) on this beautiful blog and I thought I'd try it for the little guy, who, like most kids, loves his (occasional) donuts and munchkins/donut holes from Duncan Donuts. I stepped out of my comfort zone and made a batch of "munchkins" for my munchkin, if you will. This time in the sweets department, I went ahead and tried something different, something especially for the little one closest to my heart. Sometimes it means sharing a plate of cookies, other times it may be a slice of cake (cake is a really good thing).
I want a cozy dinner at home with my family and a little something sweet to cap off the day (or to brighten up the midday). I don't know if you feel the same way but as it turns colder and the days get shorter, I get hungrier and have this desire to stay close to home, particularly in the evening. My slightly larger-than-they-should-be Chocolate Cake Donut Holes made for my munchkin Needless to say, I have been going through a lot of groceries lately for our family of three! I've been cooking cauliflower, roasting squash, and learning to make tandoori chicken in the oven to create semi-homemade Indian dinners. There have also been plenty of pancake breakfasts on weekend mornings as well as explorations on the savory end.
And as much fun as it can be to try new recipes and talk about them here, it puts a big smile on my face when I go back to those "old" recipes I love and smell/taste those familiar foods. I've been making some "old-school" favorites lately.baking banana bread, different kinds of cookies, and chocolate cake, in addition to the recent items I've posted. It was made with digestive biscuits and pretzels, and that's what gave me the idea for this impromptu dessert on this Friday night.
Amidst all the beautiful food in the latest issue was a chocolate tart, strikingly topped with chocolate dipped pretzels. Do you know Donna Hay? I think her magazines are works of art - the food looks beautiful but sounds relatively uncomplicated and approachable. What a luxury! I was indulging in this way a few days ago and looking through the latest issue of Donna Hay magazine. I order an icy frappucino, something to eat, and sit for a while thumbing through magazines. One of the things I love to do is go off to the bookstore early in the morning when there's barely anyone there. Mini Chocolate Ganache Tart: digestive biscuit crust and ganache flavored with Grand Marnier Inspiration is everywhere but in this case, the idea to throw this together came from a magazine. I'm taking it easy my husband will bring home the take-out dinner and I've put together this relatively spontaneous little chocolate tart for dessert. It's Friday! We're having another at-home date night tonight.
