Culinary Content is a regular feature in my column here at Hubpages where I share the delicious recipes and food related articles I have come across in my travels online. This time I am focusing on some sweets and desserts that I have found, including Caramel, Hot Chocolate, homemade Marshmallows, Dulce de Leche, and Food for the Gods from the Philippines. Enjoy!

How to Make the Perfect Caramel from David Lebovitz is a wonderfully detailed guide. He says of it, "This post is not a specific recipe, but a technique; there's no exact ingredients or proportions given. It's meant to demystify caramelizing and there's some great recipes in the previous post with tips for you to try." The post is filled with useful photos and instructions. (And you can also check out his Chocolate-Covered Caramelized Matzoh Crunch which looks decadent!)

And after you have read that guide, take a look at this recipe for Ginger Cinnamon Caramels from Apartment Therapy's The Kitchen. (These little candies would make great holiday gifts, too).

Do you like your sweets in drink form? This Nutella Hot Chocolate (with homemade marshmallows) from Big City, Little Kitchen looks pretty incredible!

And for a wonderful guide on how to make those homemade marshmallows, check out this article on Guimauve à la Rose et au Chocolat (Rose and Chocolate Marshmallows) from Chocolate and Zucchini. Clotilde says of it, "Guimauve is the stuff clouds are made of, it has the soft and cottony flavor of childhood, and resistance is futile when I spot the pretty pastel cubes in pastry shops."

Food for the Gods is a holiday dessert tradition from the Philippines and this recipe from Gourmeted looks delicious. Joy says of it, " They're basically date-and-walnut bars. (Don't wince, date-haters, I am one of you, too. You won't even notice you're eating dates when you have these.) These are so good, you'll really have to leave some for yourself at home if you're taking it to a party because it won't be on the table for long."

I really enjoyed this article about Dulce de Leche from The Cupcake Project because I must admit that I really had very little idea what it was before reading this (I knew it was sweet, and I knew it involved milk). It is complete with pictures, history, and recipes, plus a couple of cocktails made with dulce de leche. Stef quotes the Wikipedia article on Dulce de Leche: "Dulce de leche in Spanish or doce de leite in Portuguese ('milk candy'), is a milk-based syrup. Found as both a sauce and a caramel-like candy, it is popular across Latin America."
