Chocolate Cookies with a Peanut Butter Surprise!

PollySeptember 14, 2024August 28, 2025

This cookie tastes much, much better than it looks. It also tastes much, much better than it’s list of ingredients. Take a bite; trust me!  There’s a layer of peanut butter inside!  As one of my friends said, one who shall…

Pumpkin-Chocolate Cake

PollyOctober 25, 2023September 16, 2025

This is the BEST cake to serve at this time of year (or any other time of the year, actually)!  It’s a good chocolate cake – a very, very good chocolate cake; it’s moist, and nicely chocolate-y, and made richer with some pumpkin…

Pumpkin Spice Biscotti

PollyOctober 15, 2023September 16, 2025

It’s that time of year—let the fall baking commence! I’ve started with these Pumpkin Spice Latte Biscotti, my entry for my cookbook club’s ‘Pumpkin Dessert Showstopper Challenge‘ last year—sometimes we act like we are contestants on the mythical ‘Great American…

Chocolate Peanut-Butter-Chip Cookies

PollyMarch 24, 2023July 15, 2025

This recipe is from the back of the bag of Reese’s Peanut Butter Chips.  The cookie is fabulous!  It’s like a peanut butter cup in cookie form 🙂 My daughter made these cookies for a Back of the Box themed Cookbook…

Pumpkin Roll

PollySeptember 24, 2022September 16, 2025

One of my friends has been making these for years.  I was intrigued by her pictures posted on Facebook of roll, after roll, after roll lined up along her kitchen counter, and then the comments from a number of people…

Chocolate-Peanut Butter Popcorn

PollyJune 14, 2011August 28, 2025

This recipe is almost the same recipe as Muddy Buddies, but using popcorn instead of Rice Chex!  It’s a cinch to pull together, and it’s melt-in-your mouth delicious 🙂  I mean, seriously addictive. I am pretty sure you have all…

French Hot Chocolate

PollyFebruary 13, 2011August 28, 2025

Just in time for Valentine’s Day—French Hot Chocolate! This is soooo good, made with real cream and real chocolate, and bearing no resemblance at all to that powdery mix in a paper packet. The serving ritual makes this really special.…

Caramel Corn

PollyFebruary 3, 2011August 28, 2025

Ooooh, Caramel Corn! Isn’t it lovely? You know I am not talking about that stale, pale, powdery stuff out of a bright and cheerful tin, right? I am talking about real Caramel Corn, the homemade variety!  Here’s the recipe I use—I think…

About Me

polly of the kitchen

It's all about the recipe—really, it is! I have amassed quite a collection of recipes from my favorite cookbooks, food magazines, friends, the Internet, and more recently my adult daughters. I test every recipe I post. Some I've been cooking for years, decades even, and a few I have made only a few times. I don't post mediocre recipes. I don't post good recipes. I post GREAT recipes! When I find a recipe I LOVE, I can't wait to share it. I started In the Kitchen with Polly on January 01, 2010, a joint venture between myself and my non-cooking but most excellent webmaster, proofreader, technical goddess and all-around bestie, ratty (not a joke—ratty is her chosen nickname—her Mama didn’t do that to her, she did it to herself!). Last year we hit a snag—the website went up in monstrous flames. It took a long time to sort out what happened and even longer to recreate what was lost. Hundreds of pictures gone, and every recipe we posted (300+) over the last 14 years had to be reformatted, many pictures retaken. It's done now though, and we are back! I like this brighter version :) Scroll through! Find something you like, and let's get cooking! There’s a search button and there are also tags to click on if you want to find a recipe for a specific food. If you need it, the print button is on the preview page and at the end of each post.

Enjoy!
