I had just finished making the dog cookies above and thought “what will I do with the rest of this peanut butter?” (since I really only like chunky in sandwiches etc…). I remembered seeing Alton Brown make this fudge on his show and how easy it was. So, I looked up the recipe and in [...]

I saw these cookies in the 2009 Betty Crocker Christmas Cookies booklet and thought they would be perfect for the upcoming Cookie-Off at my office (everyone brings in cookies, we all taste and vote on the best). But, before I bring them to the office for the big contest I have to make a test [...]

For the last 2 years I have been chatting with a wonderful group of girls online. The one thing that brought us together – we were all married in May 2008. These girls are just wonderful! We’re all going through the same ups and downs of newleywed-dom together and it’s so nice to chat with [...]

Another sweet treat for my secret sweet treat exchange gal!

This week one of my very best friends, Adam, is having a birthday. Unfortunately, I cannot be there to celebrate with him so I decided to bake up some chocolate chip cookies and send them along – nicely packaged in a reusable Tupperware container and plenty of paper towels to avoid breakage while in transit.
I [...]

I saw these little guys on the Kraft website the other day and decided to make them for a Halloween party we’re attending on Saturday afternoon.
I didn’t use the Kraft recipe, but one I already had, to make them super-chocolatey.
The coconut dying didn’t go quite as well as I had hoped, and my white chocolate [...]

Ok, I just have to brag for a second … happy 100th post to me! That is all.
I was in search of a sweet treat to take to work this week – Wednesday is our annual “planning for next year” meeting. The meeting takes all day and something sugary is always appreciated and helps keep [...]

I love girl scout cookies…especially samoas. There’s something about the combination of chocolate, coconut and caramel that I just love. Unfortunately, my co-worker’s Granddaughter – my only source of said cookies – only sells them one precious time per year. But, after finding this recipe on Beantown Baker I can fulfill my samoas craving whenever [...]

I have a confession – I’ve never made an apple crisp without the assistance of those pre-measured packets in the produce section of the grocery store. I know…it’s a shame. But, now I can finally say that I have made an apple crisp from scratch. Yay!
It’s so easy! I don’t know why I didn’t do [...]
