  I made 1,000 of the Mexican Wedding cakes for my daughters wedding. They were a huge hit and still remain my family's favorite cookie. Do add the optional egg yolk, this is what sets them apart.

• Espresso swirl brownies

  • Miquette on January 12, 2013

    These are decadent! I recommend cutting into small pieces. I get more requests from friends and family for these brownies than anything else!

• Apricot-lemon bars

    These are really good. I like how crispy the crust stays and I like the ratio of crust to filling. Definitely will make again.

• Rocky road bars

    Decadent and delicious. I’ve made this several times since I first got the book in the early oughts. I’m surprised the recipe doesn’t call for salt; I sprinkled some Maldon when I added the marshmallow layer. The marshmallow layer doesn’t quite adhere to the graham crust, leaving it prone to separating, otherwise it would be 5 stars.

• Toffee bars

  • KatieK1 on May 02, 2022

    These are delicious. That said, the base didn't get brown in the allotted time. The toffee mixture has to fully melt, which took longer than I expected. Then it needs to be spread/ Used finely chopped milk chocolate and spread it when it melted. These need to be initially refrigerated to set the chocolate.
