Vanilla ice cream sandwiched in between crunchy peanut butter and dark chocolate oat crust makes this the easiest and most fun dessert I’ve made in a while. Give the summer one last hurrah with this easy dessert before you break out the pumpkin and cranberries for the holiday baking season! Like many other people, I have a well-documented love of ice cream. If you hang out with me on Instagram, you’ve seen evidence of this countless...
This Date Nut Roll brings me directly back to my childhood. I remember watching my grandpa roll this on the kitchen counter every holiday when we visited. Crushed graham crackers, marshmallows, dates, pecans and a splash of cream: none of these ingredients are remarkable on their own, but when combined they become something special. I can’t recall another occasion for which my grandpa ever worked in the kitchen. However, making the Date...
Perfect Caramel Corn has been on my list of foods to make for almost as long as I can remember. The fact that it turned out to be THIS easy to make? Oh my heavens, I made this Salted Caramel Popcorn four times in the past two weeks! I shared it with several friends and the reviews have been outstanding. I am completely giddy over it and I foresee many gift bags of this in everyone’s future. Salted Caramel Popcorn is insanely,...
Caramel Chocolate Chip Toffee Cheesecake Cookie Bars, as if the name wasn’t more than enough, just imagine each of those ingredients on their own and now picture them all stacked into the ultimate cookie bar with a perfect layer of creamy cold cheesecake in the center. No joke, these bars are amazing. I first saw them here and I couldn’t get them out of my mind! One bite, just one bite, is all it took to know that I couldn’t...
Bite size balls of buttery cookie dough filled with salted pistachios and sweet cranberries, it’s impossible to eat just one. I’ve been craving cranberries like mad lately and I’m resisting the urge to make my beloved Cranberry Christmas Cake for at least a couple more weeks. (I could eat that whole cake myself in a couple of days!) When I saw the Craisins sitting next to the oatmeal yesterday after breakfast, I couldn’t...
Caramel Cheesecake Dip is without a doubt one of the best spur of the moment recipes ever. Yesterday was a baking day for me and my counters were covered with a ridiculous assortment of ingredients. I had some leftover cream cheese after making a couple batches of cookies (new recipe coming next week!) and about half a jar of caramel sauce was left sitting on the counter too. I tossed the cream cheese in the mixer and beat it until it was...
Millionaire Bars begin with crisp buttery shortbread, then they are layered with chewy caramel and dark chocolate. I could probably stop right there and you’d be convinced to make these bars. However, I need to tell you that these bars taste just like a Twix, only better. Why? Because the shortbread is more flavorful, the caramel is richer, and the chocolate is darker. So yes, much better. These bars were absolutely irresistible. I...
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,...
Lemon Coffee Cake with a crunchy sprinkled sugar topping is perfect with a cup of coffee in the morning, a scoop of ice cream in the afternoon, or on it’s own for a late night snack. I’m thrilled to have partnered with In The Raw® to bring you some amazing new recipes over the coming months. I’m already a huge fan of Sugar In The Raw, it has been my go to coffee sweetener for quite a while now. I can hardly wait to play with In...
