Chocolate Bourbon-Spiked Banana Bread1/22
This life-changer of a recipe isn't your mom's banana bread. It's better. And we've got no qualms saying that.
Chili Cheese Fries2/22
Honest grub with demolish-the-entire-panful-while-standing-at-the-counter allure. Grab some napkins.
Bite-Size Bacon and Cheese Scones3/22
Cute as a button, and not much bigger, these buttery, bacony scones are the most diminutive and darned good baked thing we've had in recent memory.
Dark and Stormy Cocktail4/22
It was a dark and stormy night...oops. We mean, this stiff yet slightly sweet cocktail is certain to thunder through your evening.
Homemade Nutella5/22
No longer are you safe from temptation just because you summoned enough fortitude to skip the Nutella aisle at the store. Not safe at all.
Chocolate Fudge Pops6/22
They look like fudgsicles. They taste like fudgesicles. Yet they're made cocoa, coconut milk, and honey so you don't even have to do that thing where you pretend that something's healthy. Because it actually is.
Frozen Long Island Iced Tea7/22
Blender drinks don't get much boozier than this rendition of that raid-the-liquor-cabinet classic. Umbrella optional.
Peanut Butter, Honey, and Arugula Sandwich8/22
This peanut butter, honey, and arugula sandwich is like a pb&j sandwich gone to finishing school...at Chez Panisse.
Fork-Mashed Potatoes9/22
These fork-mashed spuds are indulgence defined with their easy execution, deceptively rich taste, and lack of bowls and beaters to clean.
Hog Island Grilled Cheese10/22
This much-ballyhooed 'wich from Hog Island Oyster Bar in San Francisco is stuffed with fromage blanc, Gruyère, Cheddar, and Havarti. Talk about the stuff romance is made from...
Nutella Brownies11/22
And, on the seventh day, God created gianduia (zhahn-doo-yah). And the world has been a more glorious place ever since.
Black Coffee Ice Cream12/22
Know how every once in a while you taste something that's so insanely satiating that a single spoonful pretty much satisfies? Nah, neither do we. Pass the ice cream, please.
Popcorn with Bacon Fat, Bacon, and Maple Syrup13/22
Wicked. Sinful. Indulgent. Those are just a few of the words being bandied about by folks who've succumbed to this ridiculously crack-like concoction.
New York Super Fudge Chunk14/22
Ben & Jerry, we love you and we always will. But we can make our own Super Fudge Chunk now, riddled with chunks of all sorts of super fudge-y ingredients.
Salted Butter Tart15/22
A ridiculously creamy--and relatively simple--homemade caramel filling graces this properly flaky pastry. Salted butter--lots of it--lends this dessert just the right amount of decadence.
Red Eye Devil’s Food Cake16/22
This caffeinated incarnation of a classic chocolate cake comprises cocoa-y layers that take their jolt from a cup of joe and ample fudgy ganache that make everything, even chocolate cake, better.
Frozen Gin Fizz17/22
We know, we know. Blender drinks are for sissies--or so you may think. If that's the case, take a sip of this stiff riff on the gin and tonic. Then get back to us.
Chilaquiles18/22
Essentially eggs scrambled with chips and salsa, chilaquiles is equally enticing in the a.m. as the p.m., with a cup of hot joe or a bottle of cold cerveza.
Chocolate Mousse19/22
This sophisticated chocolate fix draws on just two ingredients, comes together in minutes, and is satiating beyond belief.
New York–Style Cheesecake20/22
How do you define a true New York-style cheesecake? A sweetly crunchy graham cracker crust cushioning a rich, creamy, moan-inducing filling with a slightly lemony lilt. In other words, this recipe.
Cosmo Shot21/22
When you want just a taste of seduction and intrigue, rather than the full hangover, try this little number.
The Milkiest Chocolate Ice Cream in the World22/22
Milkiest? Chocolatiest? We think so. This creamy, dreamy little concoction is smoooooothness on a spoon.
