Decadent Brownie Bars

I know you all are probably full up on sweets, but trust me when I say you should make room for these.  After all, we still have New Year’s before we have to shape up and hit the gym, right?!?! My aunt Tina made these for our Christmas gathering a couple weeks ago, and she […]

White Christmas Peanut Butter Crackers

Warning! These treats are dangerously delicious! You might eat 5 in one sitting and not even realize it.  They are that good! This is one of my favorite treats hands down! Adam’s mom makes them and they are so good that last year we asked her to include them as a part of our Christmas […]

Homemade Gummy Snacks

I adore gummies of any kind. They are more tempting to me than a candy bar. I especially love sour gummy worms! Sugary goodness! I try to ration them out, but it’s hard because I could easily eat an entire bag in one sitting if I’m not careful. I thought these would be a fun […]

Pralines

I have been wanting to make pralines for a couple of years now, but they haven’t ever made it to my list for holiday baking, so this year I was determined to make them. These were good, but a tad on the sweet side. I recommend reducing the sugar just a tad to 1 cup […]

Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake

This cake is Adam’s absolute favorite. My mom got this recipe from a friend and has been making it for years since. It is so moist and has such a simple flavor, but it is so delicious. Just give Adam this bundt cake & he is happy. It is so easy to make, too. All […]

Pecan Pie Bars

Last week we had a Thankgiving luncheon at work and I couldn’t figure out what to bring & lo & behold these pecan pie bars popped up in my inbox from Real Simple. These are divine! I mean I could eat the entire batch, I kid you not! So caramely & buttery. I am already […]

Chocolate Caramel Cookie Bars

I have been baking and putting together my treat baskets to give away. I just love to do that every year. It gives me a great excuse to get in the kitchen and not be tempted to eat it!:) I came across these in my Martha Stewart Living (sorry for back to back Martha posts!) […]

Hot Chocolate Surprise Cookies

I was flipping through my Martha Stewart Cookies Cookbook when I was trying to decide what to make for my holiday baking and came across these gems. She describes them as having all of the flavors of hot chocolate and they certainly do. These turned out fabulously!! Adam tried one and immediately reached for another. […]

Peppermint Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

This past weekend I had a cookie swap to attend and so I went perusing foodnetwork.com to find a recipe. I came across these peppermint chocolate sandwich cookies by Giada and thought they sounded fun and looked festive. It called for refrigerated sugar cookie dough, but I decided to make my own using Ashlee’s Fabulous […]
