Welcome to my redesigned blog! I’m so happy with how it turned out and I have lots of exciting changes. I’ll be integrating beauty info along with actual recipes of desserts, instead of just posting pictures about them. This format fits my personality and interests and I hope you like it enough to subscribe! Now on to chocolate…
My sister lives near a chocolate factory.... so jealous. It's called Taza Chocolate and is located in Cambridge, MA. It is really unique chocolate because they use a Mexican-style method. This method makes the chocolate slightly grainy because of a larger sugar crystal that doesn't dissolve, so it's not your typical smooth chocolate. Nonetheless, it tastes fantastic. They have permanent and seasonal flavors and they're all in dark chocolate. I think their specialty, and what really sets them apart, are these chocolate discs. They recommend melting them for baking or for making a delicious hot chocolate.

Taza
has a lot of fantastic recipe cards throughout their store, so I picked up a
few and decided to make their Taza
chocolate cookies... with my own spin on it, of course. There’s a hint of
cinnamon in these cookies, which give it that “Mexican Chocolate” vibe. When I
took these cookies out of the oven, my daughter, Ruby, came running into the
kitchen sniffing the air saying, “Mama! Chocolate! Mama!”. Yes, I have created
a mini-me chocolate loving monster.
