Conversation Hearts Sugar Cookies

This past weekend I worked a youth retreat, and the theme was Love Wins. I wanted to bake a few goodies for everyone to enjoy. Along with a few other things, I thought I would make some heart sugar cookies that said ‘Love Wins.’ As I was baking them, I had the bright idea to […]

Killer Crack Peanut Butter Fudge

It’s officially peanut butter baking day here at Macaroni & Cheesecake. I came across this recipe for Peanut Butter Fudge on Dinner & Dessert and was intrigued because it didn’t use a candy thermometer and looked so creamy and delicious. I decided to make it for my Christmas baskets, and I am so glad that […]

Peanut Butter Blossoms

A lot of people have been posting about this lately, so I wasn’t going to post these even though it’s the first time I’ve ever made them. Then my mom had the great idea to roll them in red, white and green sugars to make them festive and I thought-that makes them bloggable! So here […]

White Trash

Call this treat whatever you would like…puppy chow, muddy buddies, snowman poop or white trash, like we’ve always called it. It doesn’t matter what you call it, this stuff is a crowd pleaser! So deliciously good and to me it just says Christmas. That’s probably because my mom and I have also been making this […]

Holiday Hints: Christmas Baking Baskets

For this week’s holiday hint, I thought I would share pictures of my baking baskets. For several of my friends I put together baskets of baked goods. Even though I’ve already posted almost all of the recipes, I thought I would make a master list of everything I made for you with links to the […]

White Christmas Trail Mix

My uncle Dale made this one Christmas when I was in college and I was instantly hooked. This stuff is super addictive! It actually uses almond bark, but it sounded better to call it white chocolate trail mix-haha! I’m sure it would be equally as good with white chocolate on it. This is so easy, […]

Oreo Cookie Bark

My friend Tracy made this last year at our bible study recipe swap. It was so delicious! I made it last year and made it again this year for my Christmas goodie baskets. It’s so quick to put together and is so creamy. The oreos add a nice crunch and the peanut butter a great […]

Homemade Marshmallows

Oh. My. Goodness. These are truly phenomenal. I can’t believe I’ve never made Homemade Marshmallows before. I had been wanting to make some and then I found these at Good Things Catered. I don’t know if I will ever buy marshmallows from the store again. These are so soft and so full of flavor. So […]

Chocolate Peppermint Cookies

I saw these in Rachael Ray’s latest magazine and thought they would be a beautiful addition to my Christmas baking baskets. These were really good. I loved the pairing of the chocolate and peppermint. I would recommend baking these for a few minutes less as mine were a little harder than I would like. I […]

Sugar Cookie Comparison

I’ve been wanting to make iced sugar cookies for quite sometime. I searched and searched for a great recipe and came across The Fabulous Sugar Cookie recipe from A Year in the Kitchen & Good Things Catered. I also decided I would do a comparison since everyone is always looking for a good sugar cookie […]
