• Robin Egg Brownie Bite

    Easter is FAST APPROACHING … are you still needing some fun treats everyone is sure to love?  I have the perfect treat. 10 minutes or less I literally made these in less than 10 minutes.  How?  You ask… well let me tell you.  I went to my local grocery store and grabbed their brownie bites, if your store does not have them, no worries use any brownies you can find and either cut them into squares or circles. Next I used the frosting in a tube and just made the cutest little dollop on top and then topped with a robins egg… and voila we are DONE!!   Quick &…

Yes, Guinness Brownies I am a big fan of dark, heavy beer and especially Guinness.  Each year on St. Patrick’s Day I would have one with my dad, so a few years ago I decided to to bring the beer to dessert as well…in brownies.  I am so…

After getting a…

  • Spooky Cosmic Brownies

    Happy Spooky Season Y’all!!  I am so excited that it is almost October.  As you know I am all about everything Pumpkin, but really I am all about anything Fall and that includes the spooky season.  To amp up our Halloween sweet table this year I decided to bring a classic but make it a little spooky. Classic … Classic … Classic Sometimes it is good to go back to a classic, simple recipe.  I am all for changing up a traditional recipe but there is just something so good about the classics.  These brownies are as classic as they get.  They are rich, fudgy, everything chocolate, topped with icing…

  • Loaded Candy Blondies

    Have Ester candy hanging around?  Let’s make blondies!!! Load them up! I am blondie fan… especially loaded ones like these cookies & cream blondies and these pistachio white chocolate blondies.  Today I was craving something sweet and starting looking around and realized I had a ton of Easter candy that I had not sued so I decided to throw a lot of it into a blondie. Let me tell you… I am obsessed with these… OBSESSED!! Use what candy you have… So I threw in mini cadbury chocolate eggs, peanut butter eggs, M&M’s and sprinkles.  You could just use one kind of candy or more, if you have more… just…

  • Gluten Free Pistachio Blondies

    Pistachio Blondies are so, so good but when they are Gluten Free almost everyone can enjoy them making them even better! Hello (toasted) Pistachio I am going to be fully transparent with you, it took me a couple of tries to get these blondies right.  To get them to that perfect, slightly ooey gooey goodness. As with most gluten free recipes, the blondies were a little too dry the first go around, and then the 2nd one wouldn’t set up enough and then finally on the 3rd try we finally got there.  These blondies have a beautiful golden crust, each bite is filled with tons of pistachios and hints of…

  • Cookie Butter Blondies

    Cookie Butter is all you need to take blondies to the NEXT level!  LIKE NEXT, NEXT LEVEL! Cookie Butter Love! Have you had cookie butter?  Are you a fan?  If you are not, I am not sure we can be best friends, but we can be friends… but be warned I will probably try to make you fall in love with cookie butter.    Not sure what I am talking about… no problem.  It is basically speculous cookies (think mild gingersnaps) whipped into a delicious peanut butter/nutella type spread.  There is just something so delicious about the slightly spicy, creamy, gingery, warm yumminess of cookie butter.  I use it on…

  • Monster Brownies – A Boooo-rific Sweet Treat

    Halloween is just a round the corner and that means it is time for Monster themed treats… and these Monster Brownies are just what this Halloween needs.  A Monster Brownie with Options The beauty of these brownies are all the options.  First – you can use a box brownie mix if you would like.  If you have a favorite one use it…I would recommend one that bakes up a bit on the darker chocolate side just so the marshmallow web stands out more, but whatever you have on hand will work. Second – you can make this gluten and dairy free.  Just replace the flour and butter with your diet…

  • Berry Swirl Cheesecake Bars

    Cheesecake is always a good idea, but when you swirl it with berry jam… well thats just a whole new level of YUM! OH the Crust… One of my favorite parts of cheesecake is the crust.  I am a sucker for a good graham cracker crust.  There is just something so yummy about a buttery graham cracker crust.   I know you can make it with other crusts but for me I am a graham cracker girl all the way. Cheesecake Time! In my opinion a good cheesecake is rich, creamy, a little tart and a little sweet.   This one is all that and more because I used vanilla…

  • Cranberry Shortbread Bars – A Holiday Treat

    Cranberry Shortbread Bars are the perfect Holiday treat!!  They are a little sweet, a little tart and surrounded in a buttery shortbread… it doesn’t get much better! Cranberry Goodness in each Bite I have always been a BIG, BIG fan of cranberries.  I love them dried and use them in lots of recipes, such as this Pumpkin Cranberry Pistachio Bread, but I also love fresh ones.   There is just something about the tartness in each cranberry but then also the burst of sweet flavor you get at the same time.  I use fresh cranberries each Thanksgiving for my Spiced Cranberry Sauce but I also love, love them in pastry.…
