Graham-O-Toffee Candy

The "O" is for oats. These treats are to DIE for. Incredibly easy and layered deliciousness. I'm taking them camping this weekend. If they last that long. I love recipes where the finished product seems like more work than it actually took. Shhh. It'll be our little secret how simple these are. Start with a… Continue reading Graham-O-Toffee Candy

Mixed Berries with Mascarpone-Limoncello Cream

As a special treat this week, I got to help my mother prepare for my sister's birthday party. I don't know why it took until I was in my 30's for us to team up throwing soirées, but I'm so glad we finally got our acts together. We both love to cook and bake, and… Continue reading Mixed Berries with Mascarpone-Limoncello Cream

Cheater Churros

Easiest recipe ever. Perfect as a backup dessert during a dinner party I recently had. One of my guests couldn't eat the main attraction (which was very sad because the chocoflan was incredible). So, I made these quick and easy churros for him. A quick bake, dunk in some butter and a roll in cinnamon… Continue reading Cheater Churros

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles

The only time I've ever cared about the raw eggs in cookie dough was when I was pregnant. Honestly, I figured if I got sick eating something so delicious it would be worth it. Until I was growing another human that is. Those months were torture. The things we do for our children. If I… Continue reading Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles

Monkey Bites

No monkeys were harmed in the making of this dessert. I guess it's called monkey bites because it has bananas in it, but really it should be called moist-delicious-awesomeness-banana-bites. Yeah, I guess Monkey Bites rolls off the tongue a little easier. I prefer my baked goods as ladies, not gentlemen. As in, no nuts. But… Continue reading Monkey Bites

Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Bars

I didn't think it was possible, then somebody said "pretzels". My life will never be the same.  I thought my Reese's Peanut Butter Bars would never be topped. That they were the ultimate. The addition of pretzels is beyond amazing. These bars are essentially the same as a chubby hubby truffles, but they take 5… Continue reading Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Bars

Rolo Cake Bars

My favorite combination is caramel and chocolate. Rich sweet chocolate and gooey caramel is pretty darn close to a slice of heaven in my book.  When I saw this recipe for Rolo Cake Bars, I knew there was a batch in my very near future. But, I couldn't just make a pan of them to… Continue reading Rolo Cake Bars

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Parfait

Lord save me from this dessert. Layers of Oreos, sweet peanut butter fluff and decadent chocolate mousse with a secret layer of peanut butter cups hidden inside. Mind blown. Taste bud explosion. I could die happy right now. I've been cured of my "meh" attitude regarding peanut butter and chocolate. You are going to kill… Continue reading Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Parfait
