Make Your Own Homemade Snickers Bars - Food - Lifehacker
@Jason: The experience of it! It's like asking a chef why they cook, they do it for the fun of it. Sure, you could buy the candies for 17 dollars, but that's no fun. Now making them, that's something you can tell your friends about. That, and making candy can help boost your standing in the workplace, if your boss is that kind of person. @Shmooki: Amen.
Cookies and Cream Peanut Butter...Midnight Snack
Need a midnight snack? Or anytime snack for that matter, my cookies and cream peanut butter might just knock your socks off I was so lucky to have my sister and her family visit earlier this week and I got to have some kitchen time with her beautiful girls. They are just the sweetest things ever. Hope you’ll enjoy this naughty snack that’s good enough to eat by the spoonful!
Involtini: Feta & Prosciutto Rolls - David Lebovitz
I was having drinks at a friend’s house last night, who is a cuistot, the French slang for a cook. I don’t think you’d say cuistat for a woman, but whatever you want to call us, the conversation pretty much stayed on one topic: Food. We talked literally for hours while we drank brisk sauvignon blanc and picked apart an amazing wedge of 30 month-old Comté cheese from a giant wedge on a cutting block positioned strategically between us. For some reason, the conversation turned to food intolerances and allergies, which aren’t all that well-known in France. I’ve never been invited to a dinner party at a French person’s house and quizzed about what I don’t eat in advance. (Although since being served squid once, I’ve learned to be pro-active so it doesn’t happen again.)
The Elephant Cup & Blog Archive & Raspberry Craziness - StumbleUpon
It’s so simple, it’s silly. Everyone has probably seen it or done it already, but Jessica just felt like stuffing her raspberries with dark chocolate and white chocolate chips today. As if the raspberries weren’t sweet enough.

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are good, but we're going to let you in on a secret: Reese's Peanut Butter Cup cake is infinitely better.

Kit Kat Bars - Recipe for Kit Kat Bars
These homemade kit kat bars are supposed to taste like the popular candy bar of the same name. They do have the nice chocolatey crunch of a Kit Kat candy bar, but these bars have more of a salty-sweet flavor than the candy bar. The kids tell me they like the taste of these bars even better.

Cook the Book: Cheesy Herbed Popovers
[Photograph: Caroline Russock] Long before I felt comfortable baking bread at home, popovers were a part of my "fancy dinner for friends" repertoire. They were quick and easy, but also held the same magical appeal as a homemade, freshly baked yeasted loaf—at least for my college-aged buddies. I loved baking them not only for the oohs and ahhs, but also because I enjoyed watching the dramatic rise over the rim of the muffin tin that they baked in. Nowadays, I am far from intimidated when it comes to baking a loaf of bread, yeast and all, and my baking projects are a little more complicated.
Grown Up S’mores
The man or woman behind the S’more is nothing short of a genius. Seriously, who would have thought to combine a graham cracker, a Hershey bar and some marshmallows? Whomever they were, they knocked it out of the sweet treat park. As with most things I bake or cook, a little something thrown in with an alcohol content, always rings my bell. So when I came across these grown up S’mores in Sticky, Chewy, Messy, Gooey: Desserts for the Serious Sweet Tooth by Jill O’Connor, I pounced on a great new dessert. Seriously pick this book up for anyone, including yourself, with a love of all things sugary and sweet.

Cinnamon Roll Cake & My Shiny Life - StumbleUpon
You all know that I love breakfast foods. Maybe it’s because I don’t really cook breakfast that often. My husband sometimes cooks breakfast stuff on the weekends.
Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookies
***Last Friday night, Brad and I got an invite to an impromptu dinner party...What fun! We were both excited, and of course, I immediately started to think about what I could take along for dessert. I was in the mood for cookies, but not the same-ole', same-ole' variety.
