Best of BoB 2008

Thu, Jan 1, 2009

best of

As some of you may know, I went back to work full time a couple of months ago. For about a year, BoB was my primary job. I’m still trying to figure out how to keep updating as frequently as I would like. I have been baking quite a bit for the past several weeks, so I do have many things to share with you. In the meantime, it seems like a review of the last year would be appropriate.

So, with no further preamble, here are the most popular posts from 2008.

Brownie Peanut Butter Cups Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake Bars
Chocolate Chip Cupcakes Outrageous Chocolate Cookies
Chocolate Chip Muffins My Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate Mascarpone Brownies Chocolate-Glazed Hazelnut Mousse Cake
Dark Chocolate Chunk and Dried Cherry Oatmeal Cookies Paula Deen's Banana Pudding
Peanut Butter Pound Cake Peanut Butter Candy Bar Squares

And, a few of my favorites that didn’t make the list. Thanks, everyone, for a wonderful year. May your new year be happy and blessed!

Giandua Souffle Pear Bread
Butterscotch Cashew Bars Chocolate Layer Cake with Cream Cheese Frostings
