Day Bow Bow

I read a great recipe for blondies (more like saw a really nice photo of them) and decided to try it one night on the fly. I had no chocolate chips, so I added cocoa powder (I generally need chocolate in every dessert). They were really good, but I was wishing for the chocolate chips like the ones I had seen. The next day I had chocolate chips so I stuck some in and they were great!! I will definitely keep this recipe and try it again. Thanks to Clear Pink for posting this!
I've had dreams of being able to bake all organic cookies, chocolates, brownies, candy etc. and to try selling on Etsy. It's the packaging and shipping that has given me doubts. However, I'm now living with a professional vacuum sealer! I think that solves the problem. Now I just need some more time to do it. Cookies would make a nice giveaway wouldn't they? While the project is still in 'beta'?
Since my post title has nothing to do with anything I've written about, here's the brilliant video:

You Got To Pay The Troll Toll

I made an apple crostata the other night.  I used two recipes and it worked out pretty well.  For the crust and the insides I used the recipe here.  For an added crumb topping I used the recipe here.  I wound up with some extra insides as well as extra crumble.  Not sure what happened.  Also, the crumble was more the consistency of pie dough rather than sand as Martha describes in the recipe.  Either way, it was delicious.  

I have a dessert problem

I can't stop myself from eating it. However, these aren't too bad (if you can stop at 2) and they were surprisingly fun to make. I knew it would be easy - just melt some chocolate and dip, but the dipping (more like painting with the back of a spoon because the bowl of chocolate was too small) was therapeutic. These were shot while inside my refrigerator.
