Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles. Last weekend a friend I decided to neglect our school work and go for a hike in the snow followed by dinner and a movie at my house.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles

I had all the ingredients on hand for some tasty Corn and Cheese Chowder which was perfect way to warm up after a cold hike. My friend said she’d be in charge of bringing ingredients for us to make dessert and I was so excited to see that she’d picked out these truffles! Eating the cookie dough is usually one of the best parts of making cookies, but then you feel bad because you’re supposed to be making cookies- not snacking on the dough! These cute little truffles taste just like cookie dough and since they don’t have any eggs, they’re totally safe to eat. Une Gamine dans la Cuisine: Homemade Butterfingers.

Actually, what I really love are the mellowcreme pumpkins! It's sad how much I look forward to seeing them on the store-shelves every year. Brach's makes the best mellowcreme pumpkins (and candy corn). You can tell they're the best because they have just a hint of saltiness that balances out the honey. It's that salty sweetness that makes them so irresistible. Some of the knock-off versions...pure sugar. I have no shame about sharing my level of expertise on this issue. I found the recipe for these butterfinger bars on Pinterest...along with countless other recipes, ideas, and projects that I'll probably never actually do. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bark.

It's rich with just a hint of spice. You'd want to pair this with a really fruit-forward wine like a jammy Zinfandel or a really bold Cab. Of course, almost any dessert wine will work but a spicy white Port would be divine. If for some odd reason you are not a dessert person (gasp!) 1. . © Jaymi Heimbuch 2. 3. 4.

I was a woman on a mission to create an amazing Halloween recipe packed with some of my favorite treats. A friend and I hopped into the car and drove up to the nearest Walmart. Items on my shopping list for this baking endeavor were the new M&M’s Candy Corn White Chocolate, chocolate, pretzels, Oreos, and sprinkles. The goal: M&M’s Candy Corn Bark (which from this point forward will be called the “Barkin’ Good M&M’s Halloween Bark.) We walked into the store and packed the cart with the items we needed to bake the recipe, plus a few more household items. I immediately got the ingredients ready. The result?
