The following recipe is written by Jaime of Sophistimom. Welcome, Jaime! Homemade Vanilla Bean Agave Marshmallows. What can be better than warming up to a hot cup of cocoa on a chilly night topped with homemade marshmallows cut out in the shape of a snowflake!

Homemade Vanilla Bean Agave Marshmallows

Making homemade marshmallows from scratch with agave has been on my list of things to try for a very long time. I modified the Barefoot Contessa's recipe and replaced the corn syrup with agave and added some fresh vanilla bean and I just loved how these turned out! What a fun project, not very difficult to make as long as you have the right tools; a candy thermometer and a stand mixer are a must. These are perfect to add to your hot cocoa, to make awesome homemade smores, and even turn into a really pretty hand-made gifts for the holidays! Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Fudge. Yes, really.

If that doesn't stop you dead in your tracks, then I don't think you're human. This is serious stuff. I have a family recipe that I use for standard fudge, but I like making fun and unique variations as well - peanut butter, pumpkin pie, and white chocolate have all been well-received in the past. But I'm pretty sure this one surpasses them all. This comes together pretty easily, and honestly the hardest part is waiting for it to set up! So head into your kitchen and make these now. 1 3/4 c. sugar 3/4 cup brown sugar1/2 cup heavy cream 1/4 c. milk1 Tbs corn syrup3/4 tsp kosher salt2 Tbs unsalted butter1 tsp vanilla extract1/2 cup flour1/3 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chipsSpray an 8x8 inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.

Even just by reading the title, they sound amazing but that is just the start! If you dig a little deeper you will see that they start with a base of butter shortbread which is topped with the cheesecake followed by the apples and then a layer of rolled oat crumbs only finally be topped with the caramel sauce. These bars are like combining shortbread, cheesecake, apple crisp and caramel sauce all into one truly spectacular treat! Given all of the components, these bars require a bit of effort to make but overall everything is pretty straight forward and it so worth it! You do have to pull the cream cheese and butter out of the fridge ahead of time to come to room temperature so keep that in mind when making these bars.

Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart Bread — Joy the Baker - StumbleUpon

I know it’s Monday morning and you probably came here for some pretty pictures of food that you could glance at, and then move on with your day… and here I go thrusting warm, soft cinnamon sugar bread in your face. It’s not fair. I know it’s not fair. I know that now you’re craving cinnamon rolls, and cream cheese frosting and chili fries and hot dogs. I am too… and I already ate half of this warm bread. You don’t deserve this sort of torture. This bread hits all the comfort spots in my soul. I’m sorry and you’re welcome and I love you. Let’s start at the beginning. I did this all without the use of a stand mixer and dough hook.

This dough can be made and left to rise , then refrigerated overnight for use in the morning. This is the dough just before it’s left to rise. After the dough has rested and risen for an hour, I knead it in a few tablespoons of flour. This is the part in the bread process where you can wrap the dough and place it in the fridge to rest overnight. Phat Cow Fudge. PHAT: Pretty-Hot-And-Tempting.

I'm the kind of person who cannot go through even one day without consuming at least two servings of chocolate. OK. Maybe I've survived before with just one (possibly zero if my peanut butter intake was high enough that day). The point is, I'm addicted to desserts. Last night, as per usual, I was craving my daily dose . . . with no treats to munch on.
