A birthday card with unexpected money inside. Opening an old box only to find a beloved, lost item. The proverbial pearl inside the oyster. Sometimes we get surprised with such delights — it's a part of what makes life worth living. Some might think food with delicious centers may not fall into such a category, but I beg to differ. The first time I bit into a juicy burger and found that the center was full of deliciously gooey melted cheese, I felt as if I had won the food lottery. 

The recipes linked here, whether sweet or savory, all have one thing in common: they are stuffed with delicious ingredients. Check all of them out, select one to make and surprise your loved ones twice — once at the sight of the treat, and a second time when they bite into it.
