When I saw Dorothy’s post over on Crazy for Crust I about fell over.  […]

Chocolate, Caramel and Graham Cracker Toffee AKA: Christmas Crack

Christmas Crack or Graham Cracker Toffee

This recipe has a lot of different names.  The one that I see the most is Christmas Crack.  The definitely an odd name but it makes sense after you try this “candy”.  You won’t want to stop eating it.  It’s deliciously addictive!  In a good way, not a bad way. This is a fantastic “candy” […]

Soft Peanut Brittle

I go through baking phases.  I’ll get on a kick where all I want to make is brownies – lots and lots of brownies.  Then it’ll switch over to cookies and I make all sorts of different cookie recipes.  Right now I’m in my candy making phase.  I want to make candy (and eat it!)  […]

Oreo Macarons

Oreo Macarons

After making our Bubblegum Macarons I had to make another batch with a flavor that wasn’t “12 year old girl flavored”.  And what better flavor to make than Oreo.  I love Oreos so how could an Oreo Macaron not be delicious. Macrons are definitely not the easiest cookie to make.  I understand why they are […]

Key Lime Pie Bars

Key Lime Pie Bars

Are you a Key Lime Pie person?  I’m sorry to say, I’m not.  I know, don’t judge me.  I always believed that a dessert should be pure.  You know, chocolate or peanut butter or caramel – dessert things.  Fruit?  Nope.  Not a dessert ingredient in my book. That being said, though, I have family members […]
