Welcome To Chocolate Musings where 'Chocolate Rules', and all your other cares and worries are left behind amid a flurry of shiny whisks, empty bowls and worn out spatulas.

I have decided to do a spin-off of my Food Blog "Platter Chatter With Patricia" and devote it entirely to Chocloate, as I think it might have some appeal to all the chocolate lovers. Here you will find monthly features relating to all things about chocolate, and many fine chocolate recipes and chocolate culinary delights. There will be many videos for presentation as well as opportunities to Listen Live to Internet broadcasts about chocolate as well. I trust you will enjoy your visit and find some items of interest to you.

Now before this luscious chocolate truffle on the plate sitting beside me disappears into the mouth of my precious cat, I best lunge for the last bite.

Sweet Dreams!

OREO PEANUT BUTTER BROWNIES

 
 
 
 
 
 
A few weeks ago a friend of mine on FaceBook shared a fantastic recipe for none other than Oreo  Peanut Butter Brownies.  I truly took this recipe to heart since I adore brownies and I love Oreos just as much.  Now you can combine the both, and with some peanut butter and come up with your very own 'Oreo Peanut Butter Brownies'.  So sensational!  They will be a great crowd pleaser and so simple to make in no time at all.
 
This is the first chocolate recipe I have posted in a while but I have been organizing my time more so I will have a bit more time Blogging.
 
Let me know how you like these chocolatey gems.
 
Enjoy!
 
Patricia
 
Here is this simple but very yummy recipe:
 
 
Oreo, peanut butter, another Oreo, more peanut butter.... then topped with Brownie Mix. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Be sure to use paper liners so they don't stick to the muffin pan.

Happy New Year Friends

 
 
Classic Opera Cake
 
I recently started reading a Food Blog called A swoonful of sugar and found this luscious recipe for Classic Opera Cake.  My hubby just loves making all new kinds of chocolate treats.  I will have to 'HINT' big time and maybe he will surprise me on Valentine's day with this gem while we sit to enjoy some lovely classical music. Click on the link above for the full recipe.
 
 
It has been such a long...very long time since I have posted, but one thing for certain is that I am so happy I did not delete my Blog pages all together, as I am about to start blogging again. I had some very serious health issues over the past couple of years which eventually resulted in a spinal fusion this past August. My recovery was relatively a slow one and one with too many restrictions. I was unable to sit comfortably for more than a few minutes at a time and spent many a day flat on my back staring at the ceiling. I am still in physiotherapy which will still go on for many more weeks. Soon I will be starting hydro therapy in our hospital's physio pool and I am looking forward to that for sure.
So much has happened since 2010 but I would like to begin afresh and it is good to be be back with everyone. Little by little I will be revamping my Blog as I think some new changes are evident, but for tonight I am just getting my feet wet once again and I will be into full swing soon. I see that there have been a huge number of people reading my existing Blog over the past two years....even in my absence and I truly thank you for that, and it is one of the main reasons I have to start blogging once again. I have missed it so much and I will endeavor to make my posts enjoyable and interesting.
In the meantime.....do something special for yourself!
Hugs From Patricia In New Zealand
