Here’s a little something I think you guys will like. It’s a Walnut Blondie with Maple Butter Sauce. I don’t know what made me think about this dessert, because I’ve only had it once. It was several years ago… maybe even eight. I was eating out at Applebee’s with my family and we decided to get dessert. Now, I eat out kind of often, but desserts are usually saved for celebrations. Birthdays and such. And, when I do get one, it’s usually the most chocolate thing on the menu and it never contains nuts. But on that day, it wasn’t my celebration. It was my uncle’s and I agreed to split this non-chocolate, nut-filled dessert – the whole while thinking about how much better the chocolate would be. Well, I was wrong. Way wrong. This might have even been the best thing I had ever tasted. (up until that point, anyway.)
So, if you’ve never been to Applebee’s and you’ve never tasted the Walnut Blondie with Maple Butter Sauce, that’s okay. Because, you’re in luck. I found a recipe from The Secret Recipe Blog that’s as close to the original as I remember it.
I promise you’ll like it.
Here are the ingredients for the blondies.
Mix it all up…
And, spread it all out in a greased and floured 8 or 9 inch square pan. (I used the 8 inch)
When the blondies are almost done, mix up your maple butter sauce. Here’s what you’ll need.
When the brownies are done, cool for a few minutes. Cut and serve while they are still warm.
Put one, or two, or six on a plate. Pile on some vanilla ice cream and slowly pour the warm maple butter sauce over everything. Top with any extra walnuts.
OMG!!!!!
Now, if you don’t have any ice cream in the house, don’t let that stop you from making this.
Actually, if one were to make just the blondies and the maple butter sauce, one might even want to cut up small pieces of the blondie and use the maple butter sauce as a dip. One might even end up dunking the whole thing in the sauce and getting maple butter all over their fingers that they then had to force themselves to lick off. However, I don’t know anyone like that.
Again, here’s the recipe.
And, now for a giveaway…

Anything from Cheesecake Factory! krishellej@yahoo.com
DH & I rarely agree on desserts. He loves caramel. It's not my fav. But when we go to Margarita's (a Mexican restaurant obviously) we get appetizers for dinner so we have room for
FRIED ICE CREAM!!!!! Love the crunchy shell. The waitress puts chocolate and caramel sauce on top so we're both happy.
Absolute favorite dessert is White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cheesecake at CCF!! Love it!
My favorite is Lemon Raspberry Cream Cheesecake at The Cheesecake Factory…I could eat it for breakfast! :)
erin.tpc@gmail.com
My two favorites are… Carnival’s Chocolate Melting Cake and along the same lines Red Lobster’s Chocolate Chip Lava desert.
You are so creative to figure all these recipes out!
There’s a place called Rocky Run where you can write on the tablecloth with crayons, and they have the most fabulous brownie sundae you can imagine… hot fudge, walnuts, warm brownie with melting vanilla ice cream… mmmmmmm…..
carrot cake from Cafe Iz in Birmingham, AL.
spilk10 at yahoo dot com
I love the double chocolate cookies with walnuts at Panera!
For some reason blogger doesn’t want me to comment. Hmm. I love the Giradhelli chocolate at Cheesecake factory. That and the Applebees blondie!
Angi.Bowman@gmail.com
I LOVE anything chocolate!!! But one of my favorite dessert would be the sticky toffee pudding from Claim Jumpers….YUM!!!
yasybear AT hotmail DOT com
Definitely mochi ice cream. <3 It's absolute LOVE.
gkim310@gmail.com
I love treating myself to the peanut butter and “jelly” ice cream sundae at DeBrand chocolates – vanilla ice cream served in a dark chocolate dish, topped with warmed peanut butter and raspberry topping…mmm…way to rich to eat on your own, and so much fun to share with some one special!
I have to say that ANY of the cheesecakes from the Cheesecake Factory are delicious! If I had to pick one it would probably be the cookie dough cheesecake.
Everyone at our house picks the lava cake from Chilis — you know, just the right amount of warm, just the right amount of cold — and enough chocolate to last for at least a half an hour!
Chocolate Chip Paradise Pie at Chili’s is so yum! Who can resist this chewy, warm bar covered with ice cream, hot fudge, and caramel? Delicious!
My hubby and I love ice cream and brownies. There is something so good about ice cream melting on warm brownie. Top it with good chocolate sause, whip cream, and cherries. YOu have perfection!
my favourite is lemon delicious pie!
lemony-meringuey-nom-nom…*drool*
I love the dirt cake from sante fe cattle co.!!!!!
It comes in a little flower pot!!!sooooo cute and delish!
Carol
MMMMmmm… Nothing like a warm soufflé out of the oven with a good glass of wine! Yummy!
I love me some Cheesecake from Buca also. Ohhh, it’s so good!
kfc1273@hotmail
I love this fudge brownie sundae we used to get at a local restaurant as kids. So good!
Luv the factory mudpie in the Cheesecake factory!!
lilpnaiwings@yahoo.com
If I can find it, I’m all about deep fried ice cream at a restaurant. Yum!
I don’t like desserts!!
I’ve never liked desserts
but s-l-o-w-l-y I’m coming round
In fact I now love them!! ;0)
We have local greek restaurant called Caffe NV and everything they have is DELICIOUS! But when you walk into their tiny little restaurant they have this giant glass dessert case with some of the most beautiful things you have every seen! My absolute favorite is their brownie bottom cheesecake. It sounds so simple but it is covered in caramel, and drizzled with different chocolates, it is SO rich but SO good!
amanda_bryant@snet.net
Well, I am extra partial to the cheesecake at the Outback Steakhouse… there’s something wrong with that sentence! Other than that, I am always willing to stop by Dairy Queen for a blizzard! (mint oreo please!)
mmmm now I want to go to Applebees!
I love the chocolate brownie they have at Boston Pizza with ice cream of course!
I love chocolate souffles from Roy’s. Actually, I love chocolate souffles from anywhere. :)
apple pie…ala mode of course
its impossible to pick a favorite dessert. seriously. I can’t. one i’ve loved recently was the melting pot. chocolate fondue with yummy stuff to dip and enjoy :) raelynette@yahoo.com
I just love the bread pudding at Zio’s, an italian restaurant in the southwest.
OH MY GOSH.. I remember AppleBee’s heck I used to be a waitress there.. oh wait that was Ruby Tuesday and they had a blondie too.. LOVED it and I love yours even better.. for sures.
creme brulee pretty much anywhere!!!
Something Chocolate (the real name) at Red Rock Grill (that might not really be the right restaurant name…we only went once on vacation but I still have dreams about that cake)in Maryland
peterandvalinda@excite.com
A GIANT red velvet cupcake from Auntie Em’s in LA!
Oh gosh, I hope the midnight deadline was for each post’s time zone. :o) My favorite desert is fried ice cream and I don’t the mean the kind that gets rolled around in corn flakes and called “fried.” I’m talking actual ice cream that’s been wrapped in malasada (Portuguese donut) dough and fried in hot oil served with whipped cream and chocolate sauce w/macadamia nuts! YUM!
That walnut blondie reminds me of one of my fav dining out desserts…pizookie from BJ’s. And it has to be the white chocolate chip one.
stonefireme@gmail.com
Ooooo. chocolate turnovers from Arby were delicious!!!
Love the chocolate souffle at Morton’s Steakhouse… YUMMMM!
I LOVE the Cinnamon Won Tons at Bowl. Crispy Cinnamon Sugar Won Tons with a scoop of coconut ice cream on each one, all drizzled with caramel sauce. YUM!
ely.amber@gmail.com
My favorite dessert comes from a local family owned restaurant. It is called chocolate delight. Basically it is a Kentucky Derby pie with ice cream and some fudge sauce.
Chocolate Thunder From Down Under… Outback style! yum, Yum, YUM!!!
we don’t go out much, but I am thinking anything with chocolate would fit the bill!
I’m a sucker for key lime pie. I can be stuffed after a dinner, but if they have key lime pie…it’s almost impossible for me to turn it down.
I can’t remember the name of the restaurant where I had the best key lime pie. It was so long ago and soooo good.
Not key lime CHEESECAKE, mind you…
Mmm…now I’m hungry.
– Kendall, theatremarmot@gmail.com
Any dessert is my favorite, I can’t possibly pick just one! The first thing that popped into my head is a Pizzooki (not sure I’m spelling it right) from BJ’s.
i love the cheesecake from cheesecake factory…yummy!!! i am excited about this recipe you just posted…yumyum!!
Omg, I’m going to make that during spring break. I’m so excited!
My favorite dessert is BJ’s pazooki, I love the oreo one. It’s delicious.
The Black Tie Mousse Cake @ Olive Garden is to die for, rich chocolate, and oh so creamy!
reach me @ crarino(at)gmail(dot)com
Hmm…I wonder how this would be with macademia nuts instead ;) My favorite dining-out dessert is hands-down, the chocolate stampede at Longhorn, and I have yet to find an online “secret recipe” version of it :(
Chilis white chocolate molten lava cake has to be the best dessert ive ever eaten at a resturaunt
cakes_by_roxanne@yahoo.com
I simply love chillis molten chocolate cake.
tehminaarshad@gmail.com
I love the Chocolate Chip Paradise Pie from Chilis! It is amazing
I love love love the chocolate fondue from The Melting Pot! Warm chocolate with lots of great dippers! Doesn’t get much better!!
There is nothing better than Costco’s triple layer All-American chocolate cake.
My absolute favorite is strawberry shortcake from Ruby Tuesday. It’s just the right amount of sweet and tart and flaky.
It has to be the -TIRAMISU from the Atticus bookstore cafe in New Haven CT. It`s outta this world.
Just thinking about it makes me wanna have it right now.ummmmm…yum! yum!
I don’t get to eat out much but the most memorable dessert I’ve loved and would die to be able to replicate (literally- because I would probably make it every week) is Olive Garden’s Black Tie Tuxedo Cheesecake. I think it has choc cake, choc cheesecake, reg cheesecake, mascarpone layers and ganache on top. Incredible!
I’ve got to say my all time favorite dessert is Longhorn’s Golden Nugget Fried Cheesecake. It is breaded and quick fried until crispy and served over ice cream with strawberry sauce and a raspberry caramel swirl. Not to mention it is topped with whipped cream.
It is to die for and well worth.
i loveeeee vera’s lemon cookies from maggianos! simple but soo yummy. lemon-y and tender @_@
I think I would go with the PIZOOKIE from BJ’s Pizza. Can’t beat a warm choc chip cookie with vanilla ice cream!!
I love Cafe Rio Tres Leches–mmmmmm, my mouth is watering just thinking about it!
stampjul@hotmail.com
Black forest brownie from a local diner. Warm brownie, rich vanilla ice cream, dark cherry sauce over the top (hold the whipped cream) and shaved chocolate curls…need I say more?
Shamrock Shakes from McDonalds! (Do milkshakes count as dessert? Oh well, they do now I guess!)
I am in love with the White Chocolate Brownie from Moxies Restaurant.. and I don’t even like white chocolate!
I LOVE BJ’s Pozookies!! The chocolate chip is my favorite, but they also have a new Oreo one! YUMMY!
The Tira Misu at Olive Garden!!! So awesome! :)
I’ve got to say my all time favorite dessert would be Longhorn’s Golden Nugget Fried Cheesecake. Cheesecake that is lightly breaded, quick fried until crispy and served over ice cream with a raspberry caramel swirl and topped with whipped cream.
It is to die for and truly worth it.
Cheesecake Factory’s Dulce de Leche cheesecake!
MY FAVORITE DESSERT IS CHOCOLATE FUDGE CAKE FROM CHEDDAR’S OMG NOM NOM NOM. too bad i moved to seattle and cheddar’s is back in GA. :'(. i try to get my boyfriend to bring it on the plane when he visits, but he never brings it. one day…. ONE DAY!
Ooooohhh….I love the panna cotta at Fritti, an italian restaurant in my neighborhood. It’s the perfect mixture of lemony sweetness, drizzled with aged balsamic vinegar. The combination of lemon and balsamic makes it takes like chocolate…sooooo good!
Bakerella, I love you! I’ve been covetting that Applebee’s blondie dessert since I had it long ago and now you’ve gone and posted a recipe for it. Ah, you’re an angel!
My favourite dine-out dessert so far is found at The Boathouse. They have a mocha-almond ice cream pie with chocolate cookie crust which they top with honey roasted almond slivers, hot fudge, and whipped cream.
I posted pics here: http://mytutorlist.blogspot.com/2008/06/boathouse-in-port-moody.html
It’s divine. I’m so addicted to it.
My first choice is always creme brulee if it is available, but I love the hazelnut chocolate crepes at a local place — the Bohemian in Salt Lake City. Another local favorite — Chocolate cake at Magelby’s (or their buttermilk pie with raspberries)
Molten Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream is one of my favorites.
Cheesecake Factory cheesecake! =)
My husband and I love tiramisu. We have to try a tiramisu at any italian restaurant we go to. So far our favorite has been at a local restaurant called Hasta la Pasta.
toni_danielle@msn.com
Wow, I can’t wait to try that recipe…thank you for sharing it.
I don’t seem to have luck with desserts. My absolute favorite dessert is the Tiramisu from Carrabbas, sadly they discontinued it. :( We went there recently and I actually whined about them not having it, truly pathetic! LOL I also loved the Sopapillas (sp?) from Don Pablos and the restaurant closed their doors so no more of those for me either. In fact, if you come across those top secret recipes I’d be forever in your debt.
Thank you for the outstanding blog candy.
Cheers!
D in FL :D

My favorite is tres leches cake with strawberries from Cafe Rio Mexican Grill.
There is some ice cream cookie deliciousness at Elephant Bar… I don’t know the “real” name, but I started making it at home by baking cookies until they are a bunch of ooey gooey goodness and then I add softened chocolate and coffee ice cream. Mmmm.
Oh my goodness… My favorite “Dine-Out Dessert”? Hands down, the Chocolate Lasagna they used to have at Olive Garden. Layers of chocolate and cake and chunks of chocolate and white chocolate and chocolate drizzle…
Every time I’m there I ask when they plan on bringing that back. Now I’m sad… And craving Chocolate Lasagna!!
I loved the Pie in the Sky at TGIFridays when they used to serve it. And I loved the Death By Chocolate at Bennegins. YUM!
PF changs Great Wall of Chocolate!
My favorite is the Chocolate motherload cake from Claim Jumpers. Seven layers of chocolate heaven!
Our family’s absolute favorite is Carrabba’s Sogno di Cioccolata (Chocolate Dream)…to.die.for..(sigh)
Chocolate Eruption from Boston Pizza. Chocolate cake with chunks of cheesecake and chocolate mousse throughout. So decadent…aahhhh….
l’m gonna have to go with my standby of bj’s pizookie! nothing beats a fresh baked cookie with a giant scoop of ice cream on top :)
Yes, it would have to be Chili’s Molten Chocolate Cake. When my friends and I get this, it is always a race to the finish!
Lots of people are mentioning Cheesecake factory and that is good stuff, but the one that’s my favorite chain dessert is more plebian: the chocolate tall cake from Ruby Tuesdays.
Two big pieces of Devil’s food cake with chocolate mousse in the middle, topped with fudge sauce, vanilla icecream, whipped cream and crushed oreos. Mmmmmm good.
You named it! Chilis Molten Chocolate Cake….Love, Love, Love it!!
A blizzard. Banana split or fudge oreo. Yum.
Creme Brulee at this italian place on the Grove in LA. <3 ~
actually the blondie is my fav ‘dining out dessert’. I had almost the same experience, but it was my b-day but I really didn’t want dessert so I thought what the heck I’ll try this…and I scarfed every single yummy bite….
I have to say, I’m so glad I saw this recipe because I love the Applebees Blondie. But my new favorite is any of the Pzookies from BJ’s Brewery.
I love the plain cheese cake at Cheesecake Factory with lots and lots of whipped cream.
I’ve been a huge fan of the Blondie since I first had it years ago, and I must say it’s probably still my favorite dessert.
My Contact
Cappuccino with Frangelico and anything chocolate
Definitely the Carrot Cake Cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory, and a really good Creme Brulee from anywhere!
What wonderful photos! I’m going to have to bookmark this one, we;re all sick here and have no taste buds :(
We don’t get dessert often when we eat out, but I love tiramisu from the Olive Garden. I have been eeballing recipes so I can make my own. :)
Cherry Pie from Mel’s Diner, a la mode of course, yummy!
My fave dessert is the Cheesecake Factory Vanilla Bean Cheesecake. YUM! Charleyandmarley@aol.com

My favorite dining out dessert is the Butterfinger milkshake from The Loop.
jenniferhemp@msn.com
Hands down, it’s the chocolate molten lava cake made at the Chart House in Genesee, CO. You have to pre-order it before you even place your dinner order because they make it from scratch to order every time. MMmmm… dense, rich chocolate cake, molten liquid Godiva chocolate center, vanilla bean ice cream on top with a tad bit of caramel sauce and chopped up toffee bar on top. HEAVEN!!!

cheesecake at the cheesecake factory!
I think that the Cheesecake Cafe and the Cheesecake Factory must be similar because the Cafe has an amazing White Chocolate Raspberry cheesecake that is to DIE for.
I looove desserts – which is how I wound up reading this blog – so it’s tough to pick just one. There’s a new place here in Chicago called Epic Burger that has uh-mazing peanut butter milkshakes, so that could be my favorite. For this week. :-)
Gosh you had to ask the hardest question EVER! I love desserts! My weakness…
This past weekend I had one of my favorite so I’ll submit it….
Cheesecake Factory Lemon Raspberry Cheesecake…YUM-O!! Perfect combination of sweet and tart!
Can’t wait to hear “the news”!
Lisa B. in so. cal

My favorite is the Cheesecake Factory’s 30th Anniversary Chocolate Cake Cheesecake.
carolynator@gmail.com
Why did I start SouthBeach diet today? Why, why? Now I’m dreaming of my favorite Chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake from CCF.
tkpauley@gmail.com
There was a restaurant in Kansas City (since closed) called Paradise Grill–they had chocolate phyllo….crispy, buttery, flaky outside with ooey gooey chocolatey fudgey bliss oozing out. It was to die, resuscitate, and die again for. Ever since they closed, I’ve never been able to find this dessert anywhere else. My depression will continue until I find it again.
The blondie recipe looks won-der-ful. I will have to try it soon! And hopefully it will fill the chocolate phyllo shape in my heart…

pianopraise80@hotmail.com
One of my favorites is the Mascarpone Bread Pudding at Carino’s Italian Grill… or the Chocolate Canoli at Buca de Beppo… or the Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory. Any of those and I’m in heaven.
There is a local desert place Cyrano’s. They have the best brioche bread pudding with bourbon sauce and dried cherries. It is the ultimate dessert!
I would have to say here locally (NE), I love Grisanti’s Chocolate Supressa. Chocolate heaven!!! Chocolate cookie crust, fudgey cake, topped with hot fudge – served with vanilla ice cream~
to die for!
Becky
beckums74@yahoo.com
I’m not sure I have a favorite. I love to get the ones at resaurants that have chocolate, nuts and some kind of fudge sauce. If there was one that served a pineapple upside down cake…then that would be my favorite.
I could eat a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup blizzard from Dairy Queen anytime. Mmmm. I used to work at Applebee’s, and I must say your brownie sure looks better than the ones I was around!
pumpernickel@gmail.com
When I was young I remember eating the most luscious Apple Pie at Marie Calendars for my 8th birthday. It was magnificent. I remember and love that pie. Thanks for the secret recipe blog.

There’s a local restaurant called the galaxy, and they have these chocolate mousse bombs that are divine. I get some raspberry sauce on them and they’re positively wonderful.
My favorite dining out dessert is the Hot Fudge Cake from Big Boy. It’s pretty much the best cure for PMS ever. Chocolate cake with chocolate frosting topped with ice cream and hot fudge sauce. Mmmmm.
My fav. would have to be the chocolate croissant bread pudding from Extraordinary Desserts in San Diego,CA!! Sooo gooood!

So this is kind-of silly but one of my favorites is the Peanut Buster Parfait from Dairy Queen. Simple ol’ parfait from dairy queen, but the only thing with NUTS that I’ve actually loved.
magapipp@yahoo.com
My husband and I always share the same thing at one of our favorite local restaurants- the mudpie! It looks like a slice of cake, but it’s really coffee ice cream with a chocolate cookie crust. Loads of whipped cream and super hot- hot fudge top the whole thing off! I want one just thinking about it.
One of my faves is the Pazookie at BJ’s Restaurant and Brewery. Mmmm-mm!
Mine is a tie between two frozen confections…Banana Split Blizzard (made with chocolate instead of vanilla ice cream) from DQ or a Boston Cooler from Zestos.
stephensonjessica@mac.com

amahalak@yahoo.com

sugardivacakes@gmail.com
Issaac’s deli’s Fudgie wudgie… hot brownie, hot fudge, vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate chips…
I love desert! If I am feeling fancy, Creme Brule. Or a chocolate molten lava cake. Or if it is fall outside, a nice warm apple crisp ala mode!
The Motherlode Chocolate cake from Claim Jumpers. If you crave chocolate, this dessert will satisfy you for at least three months. I think it was seven layers of chocolate cake with a chocolate frosting and chocolate mouse filling between the layers.
My favorite dessert ever is the Lemon Bar Brulee from Claim Jumper. I have been looking for a way to recreate it for years!
moviegirl19@hotmail.com
any kind of cheesecake at the cheesecake factory would make me excited! uuummmmm….

Lemon Cream Cake from Olive Garden
Frozen Custard
Italian Rainbow Cookies (I’ve tried and tried to make them and can’t get them to taste right. Maybe you can give them a shot Bakerella???)
sportsmom005@hotmail.com
hmm, either fried ice cream from the local mexican place…or the wall of chocolate from pf changs!
suthngal82@aol.com
Tough decision.
The Double Chocolate Chip Cake from KFC is the dessert of the fast-food gods.
But I’m also partial to the milkshakes from The Friendly Toast in Portsmouth, NH.
OH! My dad used to take my brother and I out to Applebee’s JUST TO GET THAT BLONDIE! It was such a favorite!!
The hot fudge brownie sundae at Kona Grill
Brokenwyng99@yahoo.com
I love Chili’s white chocolate lava cake and Stonewood Grill’s white chocolate bread pudding!

Woot! Woot! for Chili’s Paradise Pie. Paradise. and then Pie. Need I say more?
Chocolate gelato from a restaurant in the Forum Shops. So creamy!
PF Changs Great Wall of Chocolate
There is an Italian restaurant by us that has a dessert that is a scoop of chocolate gelato mixed with whipped cream and rolled in cocoa. It is pretty simple but so yummy.
~Christina
chrstn425@yahoo.com
“Pizookies” from BJ’s Restaurant … basically underdone cookies with ice cream.
My favorite is a chocolate milk shake made with rich chocolate ice cream and real cream at a local restaurant – no question!
Lemon Bar Brulee from Claim Jumper. Cheesecake + lemon bar + melt in your mouth crust + sugar + a blow torch = delicious.
I love love love the Pecan Pie at Smokey Bones, old fashioned I know but I love it!!!
Wow, you’re going to make me pick just one?? I normally don’t go for dessert, but I simply love, LOVE Dairy Queen Blizzards… such YUMMY goodness!
oh my goodness, that looks amazing!!!
my favorite dining out dessert has to be ice cream at my favorite ice cream shop with oreos and cookie dough. yum!
omg is right, that looks fabulous! can’t wait to try it!
favorite dining out dessert is creme brulee, it is typically the only dessert i will order in a restaurant…decadent and delicious!
chelle
It’s ice cream. I just really love ice cream and if it’s housemade, you can’t go wrong.
Because I am a girl of refined tastes- I will say the caramel apple empenada from Taco Bell! I think people just aren’t aware of the caramelly ooey goodness inside deep fried pastry. Yum!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Shake from Oberweiss Dairy- no competition!
Red Velvet Cake at California Pizza Kitchen!
Oh my goodness…mine used to the the Apple Chimi-cheesecake from Applebee’s (before they stopped providing it). Oh my goodness…cheescake and apples rolled up in a fried tortilla covered with cinnamon and sugar and drizzled with caramel!!!! Served with their vanilla ice cream…THE BEST!!! Yum, yum, yum! Now…just give me a slice of key lime cheesecake from Cheescake Factory…I guess it will suffice!
I love creme brulee. Pretty much anywhere. :)
I really like chocolate cake. Simple but I enjoy anything I don’t have to make myself.
Like you, I don’t eat dessert often when dining out. However I do LOVE the flan at Abuelos. Of course, I love most any flan.
There are so many, but one of my favorite desserts is a Pizookie from BJ’s Chicago Pizzeria. It’s a deep-dish cookie baked to order in a mini pizza pan (my favorite is the white chocolate chip macadamia nut) topped with vanilla ice cream. Love it!
Kona pie at Islands. Yummy yummy. :)
When I was in high school, Friendly’s had a swiss chocolate almond sundae that was my absolute favorite. It was a scoop each of chocolate, vanilla, and coffee ice cream, covered with a chocolate marshmallow sauce, and topped with salted almond slivers. I always got extra almonds. The salt just made the sweetness of the ice cream sing.
Turtle fondue from The Melting Pot! Mmmmmmmm!
http://www.pursuitofpoppy.wordpress.com
I cannot resist the White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake at Olive Garden. Absolutely fantastic.

Cheesecake. Because the cheesecake I make is never quite as good at the creations from the Cheesecake factory or the NY Cheesecake from Maggiano’s.
My favorite dessert was this awesome chocolate layered dessert that TGIFriday’s used to have. I think it was called “Chocolate Avalanche”….it has dark chocolate cake layered with mousse and other chocolate and then chocolate on top, drizzled and shaved…….YUMMMMMMMY! LOL
Thanks for making me relive that and they don’t even sell it anymore! :( LOL
Love your blog!

a passion fruit chocolate hazelnut tarte at this restaurant called oscars. it was heavenly!
Here in Chattanooga we have a restaurant called Foodworks-it is the best in town (amazing). Their strawberry shortcake is to die for!
best ever is the white chocolate bread pudding here at a restaurant called michael’s steakhouse. it’s amazing!
I have a great recipie for cheesecake from a friends grandmother… It is my all time favorite! It’s more sour than sweet.
Holy smokes. Look at all these comments! Actually, this white chocolate blondie with maple butter sauce is definitely one of my all-time favorite restaurant desserts. There were another two that I recall being really memorable, at a small restaurant in my hometown (I’m not even sure it’s in business anymore), Cafe Boulevard. One was a chocolate mousse enveloped in a poire william mousse with two dark-chocolate-covered strawberries on the side. The other one there was a terrine made with dark chocolate. Yummmmm.
I love the mega chocolate brownie at the local ale house…mmmm chocolatey
Ok that looks awesome and since I am number gazillion I hope I win!!!
There is a restaurant in my town that serves ice cream pudding and a belgium waffle with toffee and caramel!!
It is awesome!
Molten Chocolate Cake at Chili’s–YUM!
