Monster Cookies are my new favorite Halloween treat. I mean just how adorable are these little yummies?? SPRINKLES & MORE SPRINKLES I am all about a fun sprinkle for any and all occasion. I have an entire section in my pantry dedicated to my sprinkle obsession. My niece and nephew love them as well and want to decorate cookies almost every time they come over just so they can use them. For these cookies I went with a variety. As seen above a traditional halloween blend of orange, green, black, purple and white and then a pink, green and white version as well for the purple cookies. I…

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…

Spooky Cosmic Brownies
Happy Spooky Season Y’all!! I am so excited that it is almost Halloween. 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…

Gluten Free Tres Leche
Tres Leche is a favorite recipe of my brothers… and now I have perfected the recipe to make it Gluten Free so my sis-in-law and myself can enjoy it as well. A fun Birthday treat! We always do a family dinner for birthday’s and I always get to fix a dessert for my brothers birthday. This year he wanted Tres Leche, which I love, so I decided to try a GF version so we could all enjoy it. Now I am not going to lie I was a little nervous. Sometimes gluten free recipes, especially baked goods, can feel gritty and dry, but I was hoping all the milk would…

Cheesecake Brownies
I am all about anything decadent right now and these Cheesecake Brownies are decadence at its BEST!! It is all about the swirl… To make the swirl perfect you start with a brownie layer. Next comes a layer of cheesecake and then you finish it with the rest of the brownie. Then comes the swirl, you gotta love a good swirl. I used a knife to swirl together the brownie and cheesecake batters to make this beautiful design. You could use a toothpick, skewer or even a fork… whatever you have on hand. Decadence at it’s BEST! The brownie layer is super fudgy and the cheesecake layer is super creamy…

Goody Bars (Gluten Free Option)
Memorial Day Weekend is HERE and these Goody Bars would be a perfect sweet treat!! Goody Bar Time! If you know about Goody Bars then you know just how yummy they are. First can we talk about the oatmeal crust/crumble? It is buttery, just sweet enough and the perfect envelope to the chocolate center. I did use Gluten Free Flour and they turned out amazing. You can use all-purpose if you would like. Secondly, the chocolate center. Not only is it chocolate but it is also mixed with sweetened condensed milk (or nectar of the God’s), vanilla, salt and a little more butter. There can never be too…

Memorial Day weekend is here and that means time for a yummy treat, these Browned Butter Blondies are perfect! All about the browned butter… I love a good blondie but these blondies are next level. Why? You ask… it is all about the browned butter. Browned butter really does make all the difference. It adds a nutty bite to the bars and a richness that cannot be adequately described with words alone. Now I do know that the idea of browning butter can sounds a little intimidating but it really isn’t… you just have to pay attention to it. All you do is let the butter melt, it…
