Chocolate-Bourbon 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 biscuits we've had in recent memory. Maybe ever.
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 from cocoa, coconut milk, and honey, so don't give a second thought to indulging in them.
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.
Nutella Brownies11/22
And, on the eighth day, there was gianduia (zhahn-doo-yah). Namely, hazelnuts harmoniously cozying up to chocolate. Aka Nutella. 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 this 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 crack-like concoction. What better to do than make some and settle in with Netflix?
New York Super Fudge Chunk14/22
Ben & Jerry, we love you and we always will. But we make our own Super Fudge Chunk now that's even more riddled with chunks of all sorts of super fudge-y spectacularness.
Salted Caramel 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 indulgence.
Red Eye Devil’s Food Cake16/22
A classic chocolate cake on caffeine, this impressive yet easy to assemble stack of chocolatey elegance takes its rounded chocolatey-ness from a cup of joe and its ample fudgy-ness fro ganache.
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 (or day-old tortillas) 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 Mousse for One19/22
This sophisticated chocolate fix draws on just three 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.
Milkiest Chocolate Ice Cream22/22
This irresistible scoop of the milkiest chocolate ice cream is like having a bar of fine Swiss chocolate on a spoon.
