The other day, I bought this amazing green (of course) mini-bundt pan from Ten Hands Pottery on Etsy (https://www.etsy.com/shop/TenHandsPottery). It arrived late last week and the very first thing I thought was what to make — and came up with this recipe for a Hazelnut Chocolate Red Currant Bundt. It was a riff on my standard pound cake recipe, so I wasn’t sure that it would come out as planned, but it’s delicious. And it photographs well in the lovely pan.

Sundae Funday! Happy Sunday everyone! It’s a beautiful day and I hope that there might be some ice cream in your future. When I was a little girl, the Italian gelato place that we went to didn’t have cones. You always got your frozen goodness in a dish, but they always added a small pizzelle. So that got me to thinking … isn’t a pizzelle just a flat cone? After looking at the ingredients for cones and pizzelle, yup, they are. These are extra-special though, so meant for Sundays (I mean Sundaes) with the chocolate and sprinkles.
As it turns out, it wasn’t really red enough (just more cocoa-y), but I did find this recipe for Red Velvet Blossoms that also rolled the cookies in red sugar and I thought they looked neat, so here is one more submission for Chocolate Week. Using Hershey’s Hugs instead of Kisses is also a nice touch to get them to stand out. This is a recipe that I’ll add to the Valantine’s Day list too!
I was going to call these cookies “Clearing out the Pantry” or “Everything AND the Kitchen Sink Cookies” because they are loaded with as many varieties of chocolate chips as I could find: Semi-sweet chocolate, white chocolate, espresso chips and Bailey’s Chips. In fact, there are so many chips in the cookies that I had a hard time getting them to stick together. But in the end, they did, and combine all those chips with a chocolate cookie as the base and we have chocolate overload (appropriate given that is Chocolate-Week in the CSPS Bake/Cook-a-long).
