In this blog I will review various products, services & anything else in the world I feel needs my opinion. All items listed as of now are items or services I have paid for, I have received nothing free of charge. I will do my best to mention any conflicts I may have, but since I have been in many commercials & my family is in both the entertainment & news business there's a good chance I'll leave something out.

Even Chocolate Needs a Friend

When baking with chocolate adding these ingredients really helps bring out and enhance the taste of the chocolate.  First of all vanilla:

Now there are many good kinds of vanilla and cheap nasty ones.  You get what you pay for with vanilla. If you use artificial vanilla flavor just leave my blog right now.  Neilsen-Massey is not the only high quality vanilla out there it just I tend to buy this brand and if you want to scrape out vanilla pods yourself that's even better, maybe I should start doing that.  Now when a recipe says to put in say one teaspoon of a spice, herb or flavoring I usually double it and add vanilla even if the recipe doesn't ask for it.



 Another great thing to add is:
Medaglia D'Oro Caffè Espresso Instant
A couple of teaspoons of this stuff really brings out the chocolate flavor, again even if the recipe doesn't ask for it put some in.  Medaglia D'Oro Caffè Espresso Instant is available at Bristol Farms also check & other places as well, I'm sure.  Look for the big cans of their regular espresso & it might be right there. If not you can get it here:
