I love pumpkin. A lot. I know… So does everyone else. When September rolls around, it’s time to throw pumpkin in everything (I even saw pasta sauce this year and decided pumpkin season 2014 was a bit out of hand) and the grocery store practically turns orange (which I’m completely fine with since it’s my favorite…
Chocolate
Graham Cracker Toffee Bark
THIS STUFF. Where do I begin? I’ll begin with “watch out,” because it is really hard to stop snacking on this. So much so that I’ve often seen its counterpart (made with Saltines) called “Christmas Crack.” Yeah, that stuff. I’m a big fan of it, but I’m also a huge fan of graham crackers in my desserts,…
Candy Bar Blondies
Leftover Halloween Candy Blondies? Trick-or-Treat Blondies? Chocolate Candy Bar Blondies? All-The-Candy-I-Managed-Not-To-Eat Blondies? What the heck are these things? I struggled more with naming these guys than I did actually making them. Granted, they were crazy easy to throw together, but the name of the recipe is typically not hard to come up with… I thought…
Pumpkin Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites

I eased you in last week with my coffee creamer, but I couldn’t last another week without sharing this amazing little treat with my readers. Let me tell you where this recipe idea came from. A few weeks ago, I did some informal…
Almond Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Before I get to the good stuff, I want to touch a bit on why I’m featuring this recipe today. I know I said back in my first post of the month that this month was special for a few fun reasons, but it was brought to my attention that there is another rather serious reason…

That no fail, one bowl, throw it together, doesn’t-need-to-have-room-temperature-ingredients recipe that you can rely on when you’re feeling down about your cake baking skills and need a reminder that not all cakes are created equal and out to make your cake baking life miserable.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites
When you’re making cookies, do you find it really hard not to continually “sample” the dough? Me too. I probably end up with far less cookies than I should simply because I can’t stop eating little bits. By the time the cookies are baked and I only eat one, I’m feeling pretty good about myself because…
