Bounty (Mounds) Chocolate Chip Cookies

Cookies No Reply

I can’t say it often enough: F*** the Virus! Everything is a bit more complicated right now in the world, but baking and cooking can take your mind off of the news and everything that is happening around you. Luckily I had some flour at home to make these delicious Bounty Chocolate Chip Cookies – otherwise, I would have gone crazy last week… for sure ;P

I don’t want to talk about this pandemic anymore on my blog – you get enough told about it from all sides all day long I guess. Let’s rather concentrate on the nice things in life again ;) Cookies with built-in coconut candy bars, for example. Sounds good, right?! I can’t think of anything better right now…

Swiss Fasnachtsküchle aka. Carnival Fritters

Bake Together, Snacks No Reply

February is almost over – it’s still a week until March, but the last Sunday of the month is always “Bake Together” Sunday! Andrea from Zimtkeks & Apfeltarte and I get together and bake something (at least virtually – we live far away from each other). Carnival is quite a big celebration in most areas of Germany, so making something carnival-themed was quite obvious for today’s task. Swiss Fasnachtsküchle are a perfect snack for Carnival – so let me show how to make them ;)

The 15 Best Blueberry Recipes

Cakes No Reply

Blueberries are quite popular berries I think. Not only here in Germany – all over the world. The U.S. and the U.K. have many delicious recipes with those little blue fellas you can make – not only sweet stuff though. Blueberries also work well in savory dishes. Here you will find those blue berries almost 100% in sweet bakes. Since I already have quite a collection of recipes with blueberries I decided to make a little list with my “Top 15 Favorite Blueberry Recipes”. Everything from cake to scones – if you like blueberries you might like this little collection. Hopefully, you can find something you haven’t made so far ;)

January is the month (after the holidays) where everybody is running to the gym and starts eating healthy stuff. Who cares?! I got something today that will give you the sugar rush of your lifetime! ;) Homemade Honeycomb aka. Sponge Toffee. One of the weirdest sweets I know…

Día de los Muertos aka. Day of the Dead Cookies

Cookies No Reply

All Souls’ Day is not a public holiday here in Germany (well – it is a holiday, but you still have to work). In the south, the day before is a public holiday (All Saints’ Day). Anyway. Not sure how it is in other countries – many started celebrating Halloween on the 31st and that day got muuuuch bigger over the years than All Saints’ Day or All Souls’ Day together ;) In Mexico the 2nd of November is a big celebration even though it is not named All Souls’ Day – they call it “Día de los Muertos” aka. “The day of the dead”. And as you probably noticed already – I am celebrating that day this year with some special Day of the Dead Cookies… a day early though :P

Carnival (Mardi Gras) is a big thing here in Germany… well at least in some areas ;) My hometown goes crazy for a whole week, so do people in the area around Cologne, Düsseldorf, and Mainz. A week where everything is loud and colorful. We here in Berlin do not do anything when there is carnival time in Germany. It’s like “don’t bother us – it does not exist” ;P
