Bittersweet Chocolate Pudding makes a great after-school snack that kids (and parents!) will love. For extra decadence, top chocolate pudding with a dollop of whipped cream and finish off with chocolate shavings.???
Vanilla beans can be expensive, but their superior flavor is worth the investment. Substitute vanilla paste or one teaspoon real vanilla extract if necessary. Stir extract in with the butter.
A great quick bread that is not like your ordinary quot;dessertquot; banana bread - it's not overly sweet and the texture is moist yet sturdy enough to slice and make sandwiches! We like it with peanut butter and honey! Freezes well too.
