Personal Vanilla Berry Cream Pies

Personal Vanilla Berry Cream Pie (in mason jars!) from Miss CandiQuik

Ok, maybe these aren’t sooo “personal” sized. Instead, you could grab 2 spoons and share - or not. They’re actually not all that much more than a large piece of pie. You know what, you could probably even freeze these and pull out whenever the time is right. Or bring them to work! Hey, you have to [Read more >>]

7-Layers of Heaven… Bars (Gluten Free)

Sweetened condensed milk – this stuff is amazing. In coffee, in cakes (mmm, tres leches) and in these bars, never disappoints. Coconut – toasted coconut, or really any form of coconut, I’m in love. 5 other layers of creamy, crunchy, sweet goodness – who wouldn’t love these bars!? These bars will definitely impress and they pack a fairly rich taste. [Read more >>]

Barbell Cookies

Chocolate Barbell Cookies for Olympic Party

I know what you’re thinking right now… whenever I step foot in a gym and see weights, I think of cookies and chocolate dipped pretzels. Not entirely true… but this combination of fudge stripe cookies, pretzel rods, and gummy savers just happen to fit together perfectly. I will admit though, since becoming more involved with food and developing [Read more >>]

Cinnamon Dessert Nachos

Need vs. Want. Sometimes I have a hard time differentiating between the two. Pinterest doesn’t help. Overall though, I’d like to say I’m fairly practical. I usually stick to what I need – like these nachos. I need. You need these too. In case you need justification: Cinco De Mayo is right around the corner… Speaking [Read more >>]

Sesame Street Cake Pops

I would like to start things off with a little humor… Funny Cake Ball Incident HERE Can you guess what my favorite line in her story was!? Moving onward to more important things, like Sesame Street and cake pops. Bakerella originally created a really cute set of these characters for the 40th Anniversary of Sesame Street… I took [Read more >>]

My Best Recipes of 2011

If you asked me to choose my favorite recipes from 2011, at first I would tell you – no problemo, piece of cake. In fact, it’s not a piece of cake (literally or figuratively, I guess). Its like asking a parent to choose their favorite child. Some are just too cute not to be included. Some too delicious. [Read more >>]

I stumbled across them on Recipe Girl’s blog… They are basically a blondie bar topped with an amazing white chocolate cream cheese (with a hint of orange zest) frosting. You know the Bliss Bars [Read more >>]
