Peppermint Chocolate Ganache Bars Review

Zoe’s Take:

7.5/10

So I love chocolate, and ganache and, well, bars. What I am not a huge fan of is peppermint. I think having the peppermint extract and the peppermint on the top of the bars is too much for one cookie. Plus, the candycanes on top were a little bit chewy after sitting on top of the white sugary layer all night. The crust is good, the chocolate ganache layer is good and the cream cheese layer is good but there’s way too much peppermint in this. I think that just the peppermint extract is enough. If you’re really into candy canes though…this dessert is definitely for you.

Eric’s Take:

9/10

These were delicious. I love “oreo” crust and chocolate ganache. The top is similar to a cheesecake. I thought there was just enough peppermint in these bars. But I like a lot of peppermint flavor. The problem with these are they don’t keep well and they are a bit messy. That might be due to me not pressing the cookie layer down enough. The shortcuts here were using a cookie bottom and folding in cool whip into the cream cheese layer.

Holiday Sangria

Don’t know what to bring to your next holiday party? Try this Holiday Sangria! It’s sure to be a crowd pleaser. This drink is made with white wine. I chose a chardonnay as it has light citrus and oaky flavors. It also has a more velvety texture which will hold up to the fruit. Brandy is added to the sangria to round it out and give it some more body. Instead of a sweetener I used white cranberry juice. The orange and lime highlight the citrus and balance the spices. Apple and cranberry cuts the sweetness with a subtle sourness, and also adds some holiday flair.

Giant Reese’s Cup Cake

Chocolate and Peanut Butter. Amazing. Delicious. Perfect. This classic combination has stood the test of time and is immortalized in the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. But sometimes, I just want to eat cake… but also Reese’s peanut butter cups. So I made a cake. It’s not like this hasn’t been done before, because it definitely has. But this one is mine, and I’m obsessed with the flavor, texture and deliciousness of it all.

(but it’s super annoying to make)

I shouldn’t be saying that about my own recipe, but I won’t lie to you, it’s annoying. Since there is no actual baking involved, there is instead a lot of refrigerator time. Every time you do a layer, the cake sits in the fridge for 30 minutes before you can do the next one. That’s the worst part about this cake. But if you have 2 free hours and feel like tackling it, then I would recommend it, because it’s like a whole lot of peanut butter cups that you can eat like a cake.

So come have some cake that’s more like candy as we are only TWO days away from Halloween!
