Gluten-Free Turtle Tart at The Chocolate Dessert Cafe in Orem, Utah

It’s a special Valentine-sie love week over here at Utah Loves Cupcakes. I’m featuring one of my favorite local bakeries, The Chocolate Dessert Cafe, all week long. Four lucky ULC readers will win a $25 gift certificate to The Chocolate Dessert Cafe. You can enter to win on this post. Hurry–deadline to enter is Saturday, February 11 at 10 pm MST.

Say hello to Mr. Turtle Tart. He’s about to play your palate like a fiddle. He begins his masterpiece with a crunchy pecan cookie, then builds to a chewy caramel crescendo and ends with a movement of thick milk chocolate ganache.

Did I mention this dessert is gluten free? I don’t eat gluten free, I just crave the crunch and flavor of this combo.

Brownies from The Chocolate Dessert Cafe in Orem, Utah

Morning, everyone. This post is short and sweet–just like the amount of time it will take you to devour a brownie from The Chocolate Dessert Cafe.

Soft with substance, dense and chewy, these brownies host loads of chocolate flavor.  Don’t make the mistake that these treats are an afterthought at the bakery that boasts cake by the slice. They hold their own. These brownies are yummy, and as always The Chocolate makes them in a handful of flavors to please chocaholics in Utah. They’ve got their turtle brownie, mint brownie, Kahlua brownie, fudge brownie and the newest member of the family: the salted caramel brownie–a distant cousin of my favorite chocolate caramel cupcake.

Honestly, how could you resist this brownie?
