These crock pot chocolate peanut clusters are a sweet and salty candy you can make in the slow cooker OR on the stovetop 🙌🏼
Simply melt, scoop, and allow to harden. You can make them any size you want and they make a great easy candy recipe for holidays! Dress them up with holiday sprinkles for some real holiday spirit 🎄
Here’s what you’ll need:
🥜 16 ounces (454g) unsalted dry roasted peanuts
🥜 16 ounces (454g) salted cocktail peanuts
🍫 24 ounces (680g) semisweet chocolate chips
🍫 20 ounces (567g) peanut butter chips
🍫 12 ounces (340g) white chocolate chips
Here’s how to make them:
1️⃣ Layer all of the ingredients in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker3 then stir to combine. Cover the slow cooker and heat on low for about 2 hours, stirring every 20-30 minutes, and stopping when all of the chips are melted.
2️⃣ Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
3️⃣ Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop mounds of the clusters onto the baking sheets. Allow to set up at room temperature until completely hardened, about 1 to 2 hours. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 month. Clusters freeze well, up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature.

I’ve been teaching people on the internet how to bake since 2014, and this easy yeast roll recipe has been turning “I’m afraid of yeast” bakers into “that was so much easier than I thought it was going to be!” bakers on the regular 🧑🍳
So this is your sign to tackle your own dinner rolls this year (for Thanksgiving or just a regular weeknight meal) 🍞
Because when home bakers add skills AND recipes to their repertoire, they gain the confidence that opens them up to a world of yeasted bread that includes cinnamon rolls, sandwich bread, twisted breads, filled breads… The list goes on and on 🥰
Are you ready to become a confident bread baker? 🧐

This may be my new favorite twist on a classic 🥰
And here’s the thing every cinnamon roll girlie needs to know— not every batch of cinnamon rolls needs to yield 12.
In fact, just about ALL of the cinnamon roll recipes on my site are small batch, which yields just 6. And doubling it If needed? Super simple math, and I have information in each post about what that looks like ☺️
Seriously, once you taste that chai-spiced cream cheese frosting, you’ll never go back to plain cinnamon again 🫖

Beginning today, you’re going to see a lot of reminders to “donate to your local food pantry.”
Those donations are very needed and important 🫶
But I want to offer another idea, one that’s just as impactful (and maybe even more accessible).
Food insecurity doesn’t start at the grocery store.
It starts with systems— policies, laws, and inequities— that decide who can afford to walk in the door and fill their cart.
That’s why I’m inviting you to join me in contributing to the Support Black Families: Debt Relief Fund this month.
Because when debt is lifted, resources open up: for groceries, bills, childcare, stability, and breathing room 😮💨
Less debt means more freedom to invest in the things that sustain us, like food 🥘
I’ve spent the past year learning from Black educators about what wealth redistribution actually looks like— not performative “giving,” but sharing.
Rebalancing. Reclaiming. Recognizing that the systems that created inequity are still active today, and we have the power to move differently.
If this resonates with you, I’ve created a small challenge with a big heart (and yes, there’s something fun in it for you).
Here are the details:
1️⃣ Make a contribution to the Support Black Families: Debt Relief Fund (we’ll get to how you find it in a second)
2️⃣ Make a minimum $25 contribution
3️⃣ Forward the email or a screenshot of your contribution to my email (you’ll get that in a second, too)
4️⃣ Tune back in on Giving Tuesday (12/2) when I’ll be tallying the totals, adding in my own contribution, and selecting a giveaway winner.
Optional continued steps: learn about wealth redistribution and how committing to it can benefit everyone. Every dollar that is shared matters, as does every act of intentional sharing.
Lastly, if you know someone who cares deeply about food justice, wealth redistribution, or reimagining what “community support” can look like, I invite you to tag them below.
Let’s keep learning, doing, and unlearning together 🖤
Comment the word “SHARE” below and I’ll send the direct link to the relief fund (and my email details) straight to your DMs! 💌 • https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-black-families-wealth-redistribution

If you think you don’t like oatmeal cookies but love the smell of something cozy baking on a fall afternoon, let me introduce you to one of my favorite cookies of all time 😮

In April 2014, I closed my home baking business (Lucky Duck Cakes 🐤) and started using my science background to teach home bakers on the internet how to replicate and repeat my successful recipes 🧑🍳
What I realized? I found more joy in teaching people HOW to bake a cake or cupcakes themselves than in baking them FOR anyone else 😮
I have a biology degree— I used to spend my days at a lab bench combining chemicals and denaturing proteins 🧬 But somewhere between pipettes and centrifuges, I fell in love with the “why” behind baking:
🤔 What makes cakes rise?
🤨 What makes cookies spread?
🧐 What makes bread turn golden?
That curiosity turned into confidence, and confidence turned into 650+ recipes on my website: cakes, cookies, breads, muffins, pies— all tested, explained, and shared so YOU can bake them successfully too 🥰
And here’s the thing…
❌ I didn’t grow up baking with my mom.
❌ I didn’t go to pastry school.
❌ I took a boxed cake to my first decorating class at a craft store, and couldn’t even get it out of the pan (this is a true story) 😅
So if you ever feel like you missed the “real baker” gene or that baking from scratch is too complicated, I’m here to tell you: it’s not.
You don’t need fancy ingredients or a degree in pastry arts. Just a little guidance from someone who learned it the long way and has proved time and time again that following a recipe written in the vein of science is the key to a good bake 🍪
Baking is supposed to be joyful, not stressful 😥
And when your cake finally turns out just right… That feeling? That’s the science and heart of baking coming together, and it never gets old.
Follow @freshaprilflours for easy-to-follow, science-backed recipes that work, so you can bake with confidence again and again 🧁 #freshaprilflours #homebaker #homebaking #baking #fortheloveofbaking #bakingfromscratch #bakingtime

Most people don’t realize that “very ripe banana” taste and texture can be replicated by roasting bananas in the oven 🤯
The truth is, just 10 minutes of roasting even super ripe bananas that still have GREEN on them can get you a loaf of soft, flavorful banana bread today instead of in a week, or worse… Not at all because you forgot about them 🥴
Here’s how to do it ⤵️
You’ll need:
🍌 3 medium size unripe bananas
🍌 3 Tablespoons (38g) brown sugar
What you’ll do:
1️⃣ Preheat the oven to 400ºF (204ºC). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat (or leave unlined, if you don’t mind cleaning). Set aside.
2️⃣ Situate each banana so that the curved part is on a surface or cutting board and the ends are facing up. Slice each banana in half long ways, then lay the sliced bananas on the pan, exposed banana side up.
3️⃣ Sprinkle the bananas with the brown sugar and then turn each of them over so that the skins now face up and the exposed banana is on the prepared pan.
4️⃣ Roast the bananas for 10 minutes or until the skins are completely black and leaking juices from the sides.
5️⃣ Remove the bananas from the oven, carefully remove the skins, and place the roasted bananas and all of the juices and caramelized sugar into a small bowl.
6️⃣ Mash the bananas in the bowl using a fork and set them aside to cool while you make the rest of the banana bread.
⭐️ Your mashed bananas are now ready to use!

And yes, it’s really that easy 🌈
Baking from scratch was once overwhelming and stressful for me. Then, I started falling in love with baking when I stopped believing from-scratch always had to be complicated 🙌
And it all comes down to using the right techniques (like reverse creaming) that make it foolproof and, yes, FUN 🥰
Are you ready to feel like a kid in the kitchen again… With no rules, just sprinkles and butter? 😏

Fall = S`mores 🔥 And we`re taking the classic twist to the next level ⬆ This gooey marshmallow cheesecake filling sits on top of a sweet and salty graham cracker crust and gets topped with smooth hot fudge and toasted mini-marshmallows. How can you turn down a chocolate ganache topping? 🍫

I know the comments are coming. I KNOWWWWW THEY ARE COMING. So let me get all the way ahead of them.
🧐 “I always use measuring cups and I’ve never had a problem.”
🧐 “I never weigh my flour and my _________ always turn out perfect.”
These may be totally true statements. I believe you, friend. I really honestly do.
But I also know that there is a better, easier, more accurate, and correct (yep, I said it) way to measure ingredients for accurate and repeatable results.
Accuracy and repeatability may not matter to you!
Here’s why it matters for me:
MY JOB is to teach people how to bake. I write recipes and share them on my website and the idea is that those recipes are repeatable with the SAME EXACT RESULTS by my readers in their own kitchens.
If I tell you that my cookie dough calls for 2 cups of all purpose flour, I’m telling you that I tested and perfected them with 240 grams of all purpose flour and I expect you to make them with that same exact measurement.
There’s no question of whether or not I spooned and leveled with my measuring cup, whether I dug down to the bottom of my flour container or I skimmed from the top, if I perhaps poured directly from the bag into the measuring cup…
There is NO QUESTION. None. Zero. It’s 240 grams PERIOD. Not taking questions.
Whenever someone says the recipe that they made from my site “didn’t turn out” or their cookies didn’t spread, or their cake was too dense, my first question is “did you weigh your flour?”
More often than not, the answer is no. If the answer is yes, we move onto the temperature of the butter, which is another controversial opinion I shared a few months ago that got people RILED UP about butter (holy moly, that was a WILD RIDE).
Listen. At the end of the day, you are going to continue measuring the way that you do and always have, and that’s fine. But if you are a user of my recipes and want to achieve the same exact results that I do and that are expected from the recipe, you’re going to have to make this change.
I promise I’m not trying to make your life miserable. I’m trying to make you a better and consistent baker. And if that upsets you, I’m not your people (and that’s ok) 🙌 #baking
