I received Imperial Sugar complimentary but all opinions stated in this post are my own.
Just like the Swedish Sticky Cake that I made this week for Choctoberfest, scones have been a recipe that I’ve been wanting to try for a while. Once I knew that Imperial Sugar would be a sponsor again this year I knew exactly what I was going to make, Brown Sugar Scones. Then, since it’s Choctoberfest, add lots and LOTS of chocolate over the top!
Imperial brown sugar is my favorite brown sugar to use. I also used brown sugar for last years Choctobfest for a holiday recipe called Cracker Candy. Can’t wait to make that recipe again this year for Christmas.
Imperial brown sugar is so easy to use and it comes in a great sealed bagged so you don’t have to mess with transferring it to another container or worrying about it getting hard. Time and time again Imperial products are ones that I turn to in all my baking. To find out more about Imperial visit their sepcial Halloween page here.
So now let’s stop daydreaming about brown sugar and get on to this brown sugar scones recipe.
How to make Brown Sugar Scones with Chocolate Drizzle:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a mixer add flour, baking powder, salt, brown sugar, heavy whipping cream, and egg. Start stirring the ingredients and slowly add butter 1 Tbs at a time. When all the dough has combined place the dough on a floured surface. Form the dough into a round disc and roll out to about a 1-inch thickness.
Cut the dough now into 8 triangles and place onto a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat. Put into the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes. Take out of them and let cool.
Once the scones have cooled in a microwave proof cup add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and whipping cream. Microwave for 30-40 seconds. Stir to combine the chocolate until it is all combined. Drizzle over the scones that add nuts.
Are there other ways to top scones?
Yes! Swap out these substitutions:
- White chocolate and dried cranberries.
- Milk chocolate and crushed pistachios.
- Butterscotch and mini milk chocolate chips.
Place the scones back onto the baking sheet and put into the refrigerator to let the chocolate set, for about 2 hours.
How to store scones:
- Store in the refrigerator on a plate for up to 4 days.

Salsa Bread
Need a break from ordinary bread? Don’t have all day to spend making a loaf of bread from scratch? Enter Salsa Bread. A quick bread recipe full of spicy jalapenos, green chilies and juicy tomato goodness of the salsa you love. Perfect for sandwiches or even as a side to spice up taco night.
As I’ve stated many times before I really haven’t had the easiest time learning how to bake. I like to stick to hearty meals that can be paired with beer. The closest I get is jazzing up boxed cake mix for sweet or pizza crust for savory. However, I was willing to give baking a try so I could make this bread for a specific sandwich I am trying to recreate.
After a little searching I found and baked this recipe for Dill Pickle Bread from Delish. It turned out fabulous and the recipe was so simple that I figured it was a perfect one to adapt for this. Guess what? It turned out exactly how I wanted. Yeah! So now on to the recipe for this spicy Salsa Bread.
How to make Salsa Bread:
First let’s start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees and make the salsa.
In a food processor combine the drained tomato with green chilies, jalapenos, garlic cloves, cumin and red onion. Pulse until there are no longer chunks and it has a slightly soupy consistency.
In another bowl or mixer, start to make the bread base. Add sour cream, vegetable oil, egg and salsa mixture.
Stir to mix all the wet ingredients together.
Now start adding dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
Prepare a bread loaf pan with spray or oil then add dough to the pan.
Place the pan into the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until a knife comes out clean in the middle.
Let the bread cool for 10 minutes then slice and eat.
And here you are…..

Chocolate Cherry Cafe Brownies
I love a great cup of coffee. I love brownies packed with chocolate flavor. How about adding said coffee to the brownies? Sure! Add cherries? Yes! Chock it full of nuts? Why the heck not!
This is my 2nd recipe for #Choctoberfest! Just check out in the link up below to see all of the great recipes that other awesome bloggers came up with and you will see how I feel so honored to be part of this group. Along with this honor comes a great opportunity to work with one of this years sponsors, Caveman Coffee. When I received my packages of White Gold Coffee & Cocoa Butter I knew what I had to make, brownies. Better than that, they were going to be coffee brownies! In honor of my husbands birthday today I add some cherries. He loves chocolate & cherry ice cream so it seemed like a good choice. Then finally walnuts. What are brownies without nuts? Perfection!
*Affiliate links are included in this post. Please read my Discloser Policy. I received Caveman Coffee complimentary but all opinions stated in this post are my own.
Let’s get started! Combine sugar, flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking powder. Add the wet ingredients: eggs, butter, vanilla and coffee. Chop cherries then add to batter. Finally add walnuts. Layer in a greased 8×11 dish. Put in preheated 350 degree oven and cook for 18-20 minutes. And here you are….

Death By Dark Chocolate Donuts
Do you love the Halloween season? I sure do. I think it is hard when you live in Southwest Michigan (or Michigan in general) like I do not to be inspired by the falling leaves, spooky woods, potentially haunted cemeteries, one of the best Haunted Attractions nationwide and Apple Orchards with Corn Mazes galore! Just step outside and you will get all the festive ‘feels’ you can handle. So let’s add to the excitement with some ‘Death By Dark Chocolate Donuts’ why don’t we? Dark chocolate in the batter. Dark chocolate on top. Dark chocolate everywhere! These dark donuts are perfect for your Halloween breakfast table.
While your here why don’t you Celebrate #Choctoberfest with us? Tons of chocolate recipes from awesome bloggers…oh and there’s a Giveaway! Visit here for all the info.
In a bowl add the base of your donut which is everything but the 2 Tbs milk, chocolate chips and butter. Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave with 2 Tbs milk for around 4o seconds. Melt the butter. Add to the donut base. Stir to combine completely.
Grease a donut pan (I only have 1 but this makes 12 donuts so depending on your donut pan situation you may have to do these in 2 batches like me). Fill the donut wells about 1/2 way. Then put these into the over for 12 minutes at 350 degrees. Once baked take out of the oven and place on wax paper or tinfoil to cool.
Now time for the frosting! I went through several frosting recipes but I decided that I would keep it simple and I felt like it paid off. Melt dark chocolate chips with milk for 40 seconds. Stir to combine. The only side note I would say is let the frosting cool then put into the refrigerator in a covered container.
Dip the top of the donuts into the delicious topping. Set back on tinfoil to let the frosting completely cool. And here you are…..

Peanut Butter Candy Bar Blossoms #SnackWithSimply
Tonight for Mitten Movie Night we’re doing things a little different. My husband is actually away at a conference for work so it’s just me & the boys. We are hanging out in our PJ’s and baking up these sweet treats, Peanut Butter Candy Bar Blossoms!
*Affiliate links are included in this post. Please read my Discloser Policy. I received Peter Pan® Simply Ground™ complimentary but all opinions stated in this post are my own.
Sweets are a must have in our house. While I don’t consider myself a baker I do occasionally like to break out the cookie sheets and turn on the oven. So when I received this jar of Peter Pan® Simply Ground™ to try I wanted to see how it worked in my Peanut Butter Candy Bar Blossoms. I mean, doesn’t this look like a perfect combination?
The boys and I watching Monsters vs. Aliens while dunking our cookies in some ice cold milk. So gather your ingredients…..
Add butter, egg, peanut butter and both sugars to a bowl and combine using an electric mixer. Then baking soda, salt and then flour a 1/4 cup at a time. Once the cookie dough is all combined spoon the dough onto a greased pan. This will make 24 cookies.
Put into a preheated 375 degree oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes. While cookies are baking cut King Sized Hershey bar into 24 pieces. Once cooked place cookies on a sheet of wax or parchment paper. Place candy bar piece in center of cookie while still warm.
These turned out great! While I normally use creamy peanut butter for these cookies the Peter Pan® Simply Ground™ added a little ‘crunch’ to them that can’t be beat. And here you are….
