So it came to my attention this week that there are actually, officially real, life human beans* that find the combination of mint and chocolate revolting. Um...what? I don't know if we can be friends. I'm sorry to sound shallow
So light and moist and chocolaty that it’s pretty much cake in a loaf pan. But calling it bread and putting a vegetable in it makes it sound hip and healthy and appropriate for things other than dessert.
I would never think to pair pumpkin with dulce de leche, but it works. I guess I shouldn't be surprised since both of those ingredients are pretty awesome on their own.
More suited to a cocktail party than a baseball game, this riff on Cracker Jack by Atlanta pastry chef Taria Camerino is sweetened with agave nectar and spiked with tequila. Slow-baking turns the popcorn-nut mix fabulously crunchy.
