Once December hits, I am all about Christmas cookies and candy ALL THE TIME. I saw a picture of “rocky road” and assumed it was a kind of fudge. Much to my delight – this is simply a super jazzed up chocolate bar. I am *obsessed* with Tony’s Chocolonely, (which is one of the few … More The Easiest Holiday Rocky Road
If you’re like me, when you have a specific craving (i.e. for a brownie), you want it now, and you want enough to satisfy your craving but not too much that you’re inundated with 100 leftovers. This recipe is perfection for this scenario! It makes 4 good-sized brownies and legitimately takes 20-25 minutes from start … More Fudgy Gluten-Free Brownies (Small Batch)
Despite it being 85 degrees outside, I’m still baking 🤷🏼♀️. These blondies are so easy to make, only require 7 ingredients, use one bowl, and are done in just about 25 minutes. If you’re making them vegan, check your chocolate chips to be sure they don’t contain milk. Toll House chips are NOT vegan (all … More Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Blondies
I’ve made many, many rice krispie treats over the years, and without fail every time they end up being kind of crunchy and frankly not that enjoyable. I came across this trick which incorporates sweetened condensed milk and I was blown away with how absolutely delicious and soft these remained over time (let’s be honest … More Brown Butter Soft Rice Krispie Treats
You can’t scroll for 2 minutes on Instagram without finding a Pumpkin dessert recipe, but when I was trying to find something new to make, I looked no further than one of the most inspirational accounts: ZoeBakes. She has THE BEST instastories, where she makes (sometimes) complicated desserts and other recipes look like a breeze. … More Salted Dark Chocolate Pepita Crunch Bars (No Bake)
I’ve always been a savory breakfast person, and the recipes I make definitely reflect that! However, when I have a hankering for something sweet (but want to exert little effort as possible), I will reach for cinnamon cereal. This is the only cereal I buy, and usually after a bowl or two I’m satisfied for … More Cinnamon Square Marshmallow Treats
Despite having a rhubarb plant in my backyard growing up, I had never eaten rhubarb as the star ingredient in a recipe until this cake! Every time rhubarb season arose, my mom would cut our rhubarb and then pick (or buy) strawberries to make her pie, tart, or jam recipe. I certainly didn’t understand the … More Rhubarb Breakfast Cake
A couple weeks ago, one of my favorite Instagram accounts (Husbands That Cook) was making brownies on their insta-live. I popped in to watch for what I assumed would be a few minutes, but then ended up engulfed in watching the whole thing. To be honest, I’m not really a huge brownie fan, but once … More Sea Salt Brownies
This past weekend, I so desperately needed a freshly baked cookie, that I almost walked to our local bodega and bought pre-made cookie dough. I decided to give my Pinterest board a once-over and see if anything stood out as easy and/or fast. I came across this recipe for possibly the easiest blondies ever. Averie’s recipe calls … More Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Blondies
It’s no secret that I am basically obsessed with caramel & apples. It’s one of those combos that I want, not just in the fall, but all-year-long! There’s something about the tartness of the apples against the sweet flavor of caramel that just goes together perfectly. This recipe combines those things but takes it a … More Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars
Am I writing two recipes in two weeks with caramel and apples? You bet I am! Until snow falls to the ground (I’m NOT asking for it, but just saying…) I’m just going to continue down this beautifully foliage-d path. I have a love of blondies that is well documented here, so obviously after I … More Salted Caramel Apple Blondies
Rule #1 of summertime desserts: must include fruit…preferably berries. Obviously this rule is completely optional and not really a rule at all, but this recipe is so delicious you should just go with it. I was definitely intimidated by lemon curd, since I’d never made it before. But, once again, I found myself with a ton … More Blueberry Lemon Curd Shortbread Bars
Considering my blog name, I always love when I’m able to share recipes that truly embody my love of crunch, salt and sweet. Last summer I experimented for the first time adding potato chips into a dessert…and the results pretty much spoke for themselves (delicious, unique, crunchy…salty…sweet, lol). So, it was only a matter of time … More Potato Chip Blondies
Have you ever made a version of ‘homemade’ fudge, that simply requires sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, butter and vanilla? You mix these things in a saucepan and then pour into a pan, let chill, and kablam – FUDGE!! Well, let’s take this simple recipe and envelop it inside buttery and oat-y deliciousness. I don’t mind … More Fudgy Oatmeal Bars
Way back when, I said I’d share my favorite Blondie recipe. Almost 10 months later, I’m making good on my promise 🙂 The reason I love this recipe is three-fold. First, you only need a single mixing bowl. The entire recipe can be made while only dirtying a couple things. Second, it literally takes minutes … More Blondies!
