Have you ever dreamed of being one of those people who hands out homemade candy at Christmas, but secretly loathe those with that much time on their hands during the holidays? Well my friend, this recipe is for you. I've been making cookies, candies, treats and tasty things at Christmas time for two decades (sheesh… Continue reading Crockpot Christmas Crack

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
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
Valentine’s Day Butter Mints
I think of butter mints alongside turkey and stuffing, not hearts and flowers. Thanksgiving always meant butter mints when I was a kid. My Nanny (English grandmother, not baby-sitter) would have a bowl of them sitting on top of her giant TV, temptingly out of reach. It was the best turkey day ever when I… Continue reading Valentine’s Day Butter Mints
Almond Roca – English Toffee
Just a few days before Christmas and I finally got the break in the weather I've been daily checking for the entire month of December. Oh joy!! It's a Festivus miracle!! Weather is always my biggest obstacle when trying to make almond roca (English Toffee). I remember as a kid, my mom would check outside… Continue reading Almond Roca – English Toffee
White Chocolate Peppermint Fudge
I promise there is a recipe contained in this post. I need to get something off my chest first though. Hang with me. There's this person I know. I don't like him at all. Not one little bit. He's been horrible and awful to someone I love a great deal and I'd like to teach… Continue reading White Chocolate Peppermint Fudge
Crushed Cookies
Note to self. A three-year-old plus a platter of cookies = temptation beyond measure. Every single cookie -- about 20 of them. Mangled. A little finger print right thru the top. Actually, it kind of looks like what my sister's boxes of chocolates look like after they've tested them to see which ones are cremes/caramels… Continue reading Crushed Cookies
Salted Caramels
Hello. My name is Tonya. I'm a Pinterest addict. I blame my cousin Shannon for getting me hooked. She is pure evil. Perhaps some of you have had a similar experience. One of your friends suddenly has all kinds of interesting crafts, baked goods and ideas for fun activities for children. You make the grave… Continue reading Salted Caramels
Life In The Way & Crispy Peanut Butter Balls
I've been hearing from many of you about how long it's been since I posted anything. First of all, I appreciate being missed. You make me feel so loved. Second. I'm sorry. I was shocked to look back and realize it's been almost 7 months. For shame for shame!! I wish I had some amazing… Continue reading Life In The Way & Crispy Peanut Butter Balls
Double Chocolate Raspberry Truffles
This is one of my favorite recipes. It requires practically no skill at all, the time commitment is very short and the payoff is HUGE. Your friends will think these chocolates belong in a fancy boutique somewhere. Where people handle things with white gloves and there's soft music playing in the background. The smell alone… Continue reading Double Chocolate Raspberry Truffles
