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 >>]
Can I tell you the truth about my relationship with peanut butter!? I love peanut butter on apples. However, I’m not the biggest fan of peanut butter cookies (I know, I’m crazy). Plus, I’m totally picky about the brand of peanut butter I use - if it’s with apples, has to be Mara Natha. But please, if [Read more >>]
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 >>]

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 >>]
If you like mint and/or chocolate, this is it. If you like those little York peppermint patties, this is it. If you don’t like York peppermint patties (like me), this is still it. If you’re looking for an easy after dinner treat… you know it. Perfect Peppermint Thumbprints Print A simple version of [Read more >>]
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 >>]
You may remember back in March I had a huge cake ball project. HUGE, as in 2000+ cake balls! That’s roughly 55 regular sized cakes (9×13″ pans). Or about 12 full sheet cakes! Plus a whole lotta frosting. Not to mention about 66 POUNDS of CANDIQUIK! Holy moly. These cake bites fed the guests that attended the 2012 Taste of [Read more >>]
