Cinnamon. Toast. Bars. If you make nothing else that I’ve shared with you, you NEED Cinnamon Toast Bars in your life. These bars are a twist on my beloved Cinnamon Toast Cake; it has been a favorite since I was a little girl. No fork or plate required this is the ultimate handheld dessert for every cinnamon toast loving person. Cinnamon Toast Bars are covered in a crunchy, caramelized cinnamon sugar topping that is like...
I thought I was done with the holiday treats for this year and then I ran across my friend Sue’s recipe for Easy Microwave Peanut Brittle. I’d printed it to try a while back and I’d even picked up the peanuts at the store. With a few free minutes this afternoon, it was the perfect chance to make it. In less than 10 minutes time, this candy was cooling on the counter! This candy was so easy to make and completely delicious,...

Nature Valley’s Protein Granolas have become a staple in our house for the past few months; over yogurt, as a snack on its own, added into...

The combination of heat with the cold is fantastic. When some friends requested a chocolate and chili ice cream combination last year, I was excited to finally try it for myself. At the very first taste, I was happy that we were planning to share this ice cream with...
Sweet and slightly tart fresh blueberries are lightly covered in dark chocolate and then sprinkled with coconut. This is an irresistible sweet snack that doubles as a quick and easy dessert too. Have you ever had that crazy “aha” moment where you wonder why you never thought of something before now? My sister, Jenny, called me a few days ago and told me that she had been craving a dessert and there was nothing sweet in her house,...
Caramel Swirl Cheesecake Cupcakes start with smooth and creamy cheesecake over a simple graham cracker crust, then they are topped with a swirl of caramel sauce just before baking. Do you remember when I promised you a dessert worthy of that Vanilla Bean Salted Caramel Sauce? This is it. For an extra special dessert, I topped the last two “leftover” cupcakes with a generous drizzle of warm caramel just before serving. (I...
