Delicious caramel apple cider sangria, festive for fall, but delicious all year round! – – Who doesn’t love apples? Who doesn’t love wine? Who doesn’t love putting the two together? If the answer is you, I’m not entirely sure why you’re reading this, but who am I to judge? First things first, chop some apples! I really liked having the mix of red and green apples for some extra color, so for this recipe I used red delicious and granny smith. If I had to pick one though, I’d go with the granny smith. I like the little bit sour…

Continue ReadingLight and fluffy cookie bars made from simple ingredients including one boxed cake mix, chocolate chips, AND mini m&ms! – – I’ve been sick all week. And all I’ve wanted is comfort food. So what’s comforting? Chocolate! Of course. I mean this isn’t good for you, but it sure is delicious. It’s really a cross between a cake and a cookie. It’s so light and fluffy that it’s not really a cookie, but you can eat it with one hand without it crumbling, and it’s so festive with the chocolate chips and mini m&ms! Honestly, my thought while making these…

Maple bacon is one of those trendy flavors right now and I have to say I don’t hate it. I’ve never been a huge maple person, especially next to say, my sister who could eat maple candies until the trees came home–that is to say, forever. Though she is particular about authenticity. In this case, unfortunately, I found that real maple syrup doesn’t add enough of an intense maple kick, so I had to out and spring for maple extract. Really, there’s not a good substitute. Potentially you might be able to concentrate traditional maple syrup by boiling it down,…

Delicious two-bite balls of cake and ice cream coated in frosting and a strawberry cake crumble on the outside! They’re messy to eat, but deliciously so! – – What do you get when you throw a whole cake on the floor in your house? Apparently the answer is Strawberry Crunch Cakeballs! At least it was a delicious mistake! Basically I was trying to re-make this strawberry crunch ice cream cake that I shared a few weeks ago because it was delicious! And I didn’t prepare nearly as well because I figured I had made it once before and I would remember. Well…

Looking for a sugary sweet dessert? Look no farther! These delicious blondies have a delicious sugary icing glaze and are sprinkled with pecans! – – The description for these says “sugary sweet”, and let me warn you these are definitely tooth-achingly sweet! If you’re in that mood they can really hit the spot, but even I can only eat a few bites at a time. The principle of praline blondies is pretty simple. Blondie, topped with sugary pecan icing. Tyler, my fiance, loves nuts and non-chocolate desserts, so this one goes out to him! Not that he discriminates against chocolate,…

We’re not actually moving for a little bit but here’s a perfect housewarming appetizer in the spirit of the day! Even simpler than brie en croute, but just as delicious!

Light and minty green cookies, spotted with chocolate chips of course! The perfect chewy way to get your mint chocochip fix! – – It’s that time again! And by that I mean tasty recipes for co-worker’s birthdays, and for this round I bring you mint chocolate chip cookies! I love these because they’re the next step above the classic cookies I shared last week (check out oatmeal and chocolate chip). Something a little different, but perfect to share! Or stress eat, since we’re closing on our house this week! The recipe makes a good number too, probably around 30+…

Flaky buttery crust enfolding all the deliciousness of s’mores in a yummy, gooey center! – – I know it was supposed to be cookie week, and I promised you another cookie recipe! But it’s one of those weeks where everything possible that can go wrong does, so I hope you’ll forgive me for another delicious crescent roll dough recipe, and still a dessert! (Check out others like mini cake batter buns or apple pie crescents.) Don’t s’mores just remind you of summer camp and cool summer nights? Because those are the memories it invokes in me. We rarely make s’mores…

A light and silky irish cream mousse with a finesse of chocolate! Perfect for a light treat on a hot summer evening~ – – I needed to get back to my roots, and this is what this recipe does! Chocolate? Check. Tipsy? Check. Delicious? Check. I dare you to disagree! This recipe is definitely a little heavy on the irish cream flavor over the chocolate, but as I noted on the recipe card, you can always add more cocoa powder! This recipe is about as simple as you can get! All you need are 4 ingredients, a hand or stand mixer, and you can…

Luxurious, silky peanut butter pie on a chocolatey crust. Add some crunch pieces for an extra layer of texture! – – I have shared a peanut butter crunch pie recipe, but this one is a touch different. To start with, the previous recipe is for a miniature pie, and this one is for the full she-bang. Full luxury. An oreo crust, with a smooth, velvety peanut butter filling. It’s up to you how you decide to do the chocolate topping! The original recipe has you spread the chocolate as a layer across the top of the peanut butter pie, but I opted for more…
