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! Plus, if you serve with apple slices, this is a great alternative dessert! Fruits, cheese, nuts, and just a dash of caramel makes this a healthful…

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…

Luscious pumpkin spice muffins, with extra luxury and festivity added from seasonal pumpkin spice choco-chips! – – Are the pumpkin spice police going to come after me for posting this recipe not in the fall? I’m not sure, but I’m braving the waters to share this recipe with you! Part of the reason is that a co-worker requested these for her birthday, and the other reason is I recently found a clearance sale on the pumpkin spice choco-chips! So it’s a good time to look out for clearance sales, or keep an eye out next fall for them choco-chips! These muffins…

Think cinnamon buns, but instead of a cinnamon filling, you have all the sugary cake batter flavor you’ve ever wanted! Topped with sprinkles, of course. – – These are an easy little snack to whip up, and my goodness, they’re just de-lish! They’re bite-sized, so watch out, because it’s so easy to say “Oh I’ll just have one or two” and find the whole pan–or two–gone in a flash! Do I regret? Nope. I always keep some funfetti cake batter on hand just for “cake-batter” flavored things. I make them often enough (like cake batter pancakes or cake batter chocolate chip cookies) that…

Tyler got these Cinnamon Bun Oreos at the grocery the other day. I was super skeptical at first, because I’m not usually a huge fan on cinnamon-flavored things. Wellllllll…collectively, we finished the entire package in two and a half days, I think. I actually enjoy these a lot. They’re not overpoweringly cinnamon, just a pleasant cinnamon cracker, and the icing just fits perfectly for the concept. So we bought another package…okay two. One to eat, and one for me to bake with! The oreos were just so good, I wanted to use them in something, and what better than a…

In case any of you all have been around my blog since last new year’s–apparently I like “bars”. Last year was a mimosa bar, and this year we went for a waffle bar! We dressed up and went fancy last year, so we just turned the table and went pajama party this year. Fancy is fun, but pajamas mean I can fall into bed and not worry about getting changed or falling over in heels or flashing someone when I want to sit on the floor. So, like all bars, your imagination is the only limitation! And it’s customizable to your…

Buttery soft caramels wrapped in chocolate! Literally, what more could you want out of life? I actually won’t be sharing my caramel recipe today–it’s a long recipe that comes out only for special occasions! Plus you need some specialized equipment, namely a candy thermometer. But fear not! If you’re looking to make these at home, then kraft caramels split into two the long way work perfectly! Or you can always try one of those microwave caramels I pin to my Recipes – Candy board on Pinterest (link to my pinterest). I won’t link any directly here, because I haven’t tried them, and…
