A great topping for Hershey's Dark Chocolate cake. Just the right consistency. Thanks! -
Great icing! I used it to top Recipe #13554. When it was a bit thick for my purposes, I thinned it with a bit of amaretto. Thanks for sharing, V!

I made this a little thin and then drizzled it over recipe #170022. Delicious! I love the subtle cinnamon flavor. Mmmmmmm! -
THE perfect topping for your Kahlua Chocolate cake!!!!!!!!!!!!! JUST KILL ME NOW!!!!!!! Cuz it's HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!! TY!!!!!!!! :) :) :) -
I cut the amount of confectioners' sugar in half for a smooth syrup consistancy since I'm not a big fan of frosting. It was AMAZING over warm cake and ice cream, but would also make a perfect fondue chocolate! My husband is addicted to the stuff! :D

I don't think there's anything better than spending time with family and friends and enjoying delicious food together. I just love food. I love reading about food, writing about food, cooking food and.. not surprisingly, eating food. My latest passion is food-photography! I'm still learning a lot, but I'm trying to post photos with all my recipes and reviews. I read recipe books, magazines and food blogs like novels. I get such satisfaction when someone enjoys a meal or dessert that I have prepared. It is the biggest compliment to me when my family and friends rave about my cooking. There are so many terrific recipes on this site. If I'm looking for something, I'm sure to find it here. I do have stacks of my own favorite recipes which I am slowly but surely getting in my cookbooks here . I have had so many awesome reviews and fabulous photos taken of my recipes... I try to thank everyone personally .. I sincerely appreciate each and every review and or comment left. I know it takes time to photograph and upload photos - So I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for finding and trying my recipes and taking the extra effort...
