 Baked Elements by Matt Lewis & Renato Poliafito
IMG_0877
The most amazing cookbook yet.  Baked Elements has homemade Devil Dogs with Malted Buttercream. I am so making these.
You need to own this cookbook!
And if you don't own it....stay tuned, as the Baked Boys and I are teaming up to giveaway 3 sets of their cookbooks.  Yes, 3 sets.
Three people will win a set of their cookbooks: Baked New Frontiers In Baking, Baked Explorations and Baked Elements.
Aren't they the best?  Love them for this.
Stay tuned!!

is this good?

This is new.  Sounds like a party planning helper.

A giant peppermint cake shaped like a cookie.  Great, now I have to buy it. 
IMG_0856
This was the free sample of the day.  It was not that good.  Not truffle like at all.
IMG_0859
These are new.  Did not buy them for fear of eating entire box.
IMG_0855
Had to get these. I am such a peppermint junkie. These are really good!
IMG_0866
This sounds so good. Who has tried it?
IMG_0869
Can't wait to give these a go.
IMG_0871
These are new. Haven't tried them yet.
IMG_0852
These were pretty good!

These are really good. Normally you're supposed to grill them, but I experimented and put them in the crockpot (7 hours) with a large amount of hoisin sauce.  Delish!  Try it, you'll love it.
IMG_0867
Who tried these? Like?
IMG_0860
Afraid to get these, so I walked right by them.  Good thinking, I know I'd eat them all up!

These are fabulous as in a savory cheesecake crust.
IMG_0865
And these are also perfect for a cheesecake crust.
IMG_0863
Guess what's back??  Finally!
IMG_0853
These are new.
IMG_0862
Can't wait to experiment with this one!
IMG_0868
Are these any good?
IMG_0872
Any good?

How cute are these?  12 in a box is a snack to me.  They are small.

I think these are new and just might be dinner!

  1. Dawn I am going to pack lunch, fill up my gas tank and get me to a Trader Joe's. It will probably take me a day, may have to sleep in my car... but your posts are driving me insane! Also those wine cups are a MUST and they are currently sold out:( but I will get them!!

  2. Spill proof sippy wine cups haha- love. I adore when people post items they have bought or seen at TJs! When you have a baby, its so hard to really take the time to look through everything at TJs. So many fun new products.

  3. I love Baked Bakery so much! I started making their pumpkin whoopie pies a few years ago and make them all the time. They might be my all time favorite recipe. Can't wait for the giveaway.

  4. I'm going to look into the sippy wine cups. I can think of lots of uses. I've made the NY Times Jacque Torres CC Cookies more times than I should admit. It's in my top ten cc cookie list. I can't wait for your BAKED give away as I only have one of the trilogy. But I also have "chocolate bar".

    1. I thought I recognized the Chocolate Whoppers. You've got to love Maida Heatter.

  7. Love, love, love Trader Joes! Have you ever tried their frozen chocolate croissants? I swear it's as good as the ones you get in France! You defrost the night before and let it rise on a pan, then bake the next morning! Great review! Happy Holidays, Dawn!
