Several different flavors. Nada. I was truly excited the first time I tried one. Chewy chocolate fudge brownie - YES, please! Dark Chocolate Peanut [Read more >>]
Turtle Cheesecake = creamy, smooth, chocolatey, caramely goodness. Turtle Cheecake in a shot glass = see ‘turtle cheesecake’ + New Year’s party(!?) + a totally fun way to serve cheescake.

Today I bring you a different kind of treat. It doesn’t involve cake, frosting, or even cookies. But it’s still decadent and finger paw-lickin’ good - depending on who you ask.

What do you use to hold your cake pops? Or any sort of ‘pop’ for that matter… Are you using one of those green (couldn’t they make them a pretty color?!) Styrofoam blocks that you picked up at your local craft store? You know the ones… I’m sure that worked great for a few batches. Then, [Read more >>]

This is me: “I am absolutely not going to eat all that junk that I did last year around the holidays”… Or realistically anytime the temp drops below 60 (I’m a wimp) and all I want to do is eat cookies and brownies… on the couch… in my PJ’s.
