You know her best as the one-woman show behind the blog What Katie Ate . When Katie and I began to discuss what recipes she might offer, I found out that she was Irish and that changed up the whole game! I had the greatest time in Dublin last year, and couldn’t wait to see what Katie would propose. As luck would have it, among her ideas was a Guinness Chocolate Cake. I wasted no time in saying, “ Yes, please! ” So here you go, a beautiful chocolate cake that even the guys can get excited about! — Kristina About

   This diy comes from www.alderberryhill.blogspot.com .  I like this one alot.  I like to make things scary and creepy without all of the bloog and gore.  This is right down my street.  Perfect for Halloween or a Day of The Dead Party.

My first impression of these cookies was not a super positive one. I mean, don’t get me wrong…I love a good chocolate chip cookie.
