Brownies/blondies. Chubby Hubby Bars. I am not a huge ice cream fan.

Chubby Hubby Bars

Don’t feel bad for me, I certainly get my sweets in a multitude of other ways. But, one day last week while doing my weekly grocery shopping, I got seduced by the colorful pints of Ben & Jerry’s down the frozen food aisle. I generally try and avoid the ice cream section altogether…but this day I was feeling weak. I stood and stared at the pints full of delicious concoctions…I am less intrigued by the ice cream itself, as I am by the add-in combinations. Honestly, ice cream is just a vehicle for my cookie dough or Schweddy Ball consumption…I could take it or leave it ~ and normally I leave it. While hypnotized by the shelves of delicious ice cream flavors my eyes stopped on “Chubby Hubby“. So as soon as I got home after dinner, I decided to sit down and give this ice cream a fair chance. I bring you Chubby Hubby Bars. I know I make lots and lots of bars. First make a simple cookie dough and add in some of these little gems… Then mix in some of these… Balls out.

S'mores Bars. Growing up we had a family reunion up in the Graham Mountains in Arizona every summer with my dad’s side of the family.

S'mores Bars

I have 82 first cousins on my dad’s side alone so we were never bored and definitely made our fair share of mischief around camp. The best part for me about the reunion is when the whole family would make the hike up to Ladybug Tower. As you get closer to the tower you start seeing ladybugs here and there. We even would have ladybug fights where we would grab handfuls of ladybugs and throw them at each other (in retrospect…yuck). When we finally reached the tower there were ladybugs everywhere in sight…on all of the surrounding rocks and all over the Ladybug Tower.

Ahh…memories. Sometimes when I’m putting my kids to bed at night I tell my boys about the Ladybug Tower and their eyes get all big with excitement. Tomorrow, we are headed to the Grahams and to Ladybug Tower. Ingredients Instructions Preheat oven to 350°F. Notes. Apple Toffee Blondies. These Apple Blondies are JAM PACKED with sweetness!

An all-time favorite! My morning went a little something like this… I woke up mad because I had a dream that I was married to Prince William and he left me for a woman who could tie a cherry stem with her tongue. Of course that made me angry at my REAL husband for being a man. “YOU ARE ALL PERVERTS!” He had no idea what was going on, but just shrugged in agreement. I made a cup of coffee and clicked on the morning news, only to discover that the White House crasher wife, Michaele Salahi left her husband for a guitarist from the band Journey. Next I saw that Toddlers and Tiaras is still a show. Then my 8 year old gave me a one-arm hug as he ran to catch the bus. Finally I saw that the Kardashians have started a clothing line. Anyway, it’s been a weird morning so far… Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake Bars. Cookie Dough + Cheesecake = all my dreams coming TRUE!

This fudge is ingredient and time-intensive, but the final result is delicious and extremely impressive. This recipe yields a large amount of fudge, so if you only need a few dozen pieces, consider cutting it in half and preparing it in an 8x8 pan.
