Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bark Cookie dough in a bark. Now you can eat cookie dough without worry and it can be yours in less than twenty minutes. I know more bark, but I’m thinking you will really love this one. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bark Don’t be mistaken by the quiet look of this bark. Alright, now, I will ease up on the bark. And I’m going to keep this post super short, since my to-do list is quickly turning into an overdue list. I hate laundry. Well I’m going to remedy this swish-swashing and bing-bonging annoyance by explaining to him we are going to buy clothes and undergarments in bulk like people shop at Costco in bulk-The. Aside from that, just think of how many more desserts I could make if I wasn’t saddled with this silly business of clothes washing. A few notes: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bark Preparation: Line 8×8 pan with parchment or wax paper. Ingredients: 8 oz dark Ghirardelli dark chocolate10 oz white Ghirardelli chocolate½ cup cocoa crisp1/3 cup of dry white cake mix½ cup mini chocolate chips

Ramen Hacks: 30+ Easy Ways to Upgrade Your Instant Noodles SLIDESHOW: Ramen Hacks: 30+ Easy Ways to Upgrade Your Instant Noodles [Photographs: J. Kenji Lopez-Alt] Ramen in the U.S. has come a long way. Once known only in its 10-for-a-dollar instant-lunch form—a staple of offices and dorm rooms all around the '80s and '90s—high-end real ramen shops are springing up left and right on both coasts and everywhere in between. As a half-Japanese kid in the '80s, I grew up eating instant ramen at least once a week, and it still holds a special place in my gut. That said, my tastes have changed and expanded considerably over the years, and sometimes that little flavoring packet just isn't enough. As a card-carrying member of the Ramen Transmogrification Society of Greater New York,* it is my duty, my honor, and my privilege to share with you some of our methods and recipes.

Coca-Cola Cupcakes I don’t drink coca-cola. But I do eat it. Weird. It’s way better eaten. There’s some dark and white sugar cooked with dark dutch processed cocoa powder…and a can of coke! There’s some the ol’ that pouring into this and this pouring into that. There’s some mixing. Take a little PAM and spray the liners–this is a sticky cupcake batter. UPDATED TIP ALERT: A few of you tried this recipe and sprayed them and the cupcake still stuck. These cupcakes are chocolately, decadent, rich and kind of amaze. This frosting isn’t frosting–it’s just whipped cream. And guess what? Next, cherries on top! P.S. Coca-Cola Cupcakes Recipe adapted from Baked: The New Frontier Yields 15 cupcakes Print this recipe!

Whipped Cream Frosting: 1 1/2 cups of heavy whipping cream 4 tablespoons of powdered sugar 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract Maraschino cherries (for topping) Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Une Gamine dans la Cuisine: Homemade Butterfingers Is it wrong to be semi-addicited to candy corn? 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). 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. Despite the fact that I'm not a huge fan of Butterfinger candy bars (I like my candy bars the same way I like my cookies & brownies, soft and smooshy), I wanted to try this recipe because it's made using melted candy corn mixed with peanut butter! And yes, they really do taste like Butterfingers. Homemade Butterfingers (recipe adapted from In Katrina's Kitchen, found via Pinterest) Line the same 9x13-inch pan with wax or parchment paper.

Cinnamon Roll Pancakes | RecipeGirl.com Updated 9/22/11 to Add: If you’re coming here to sample these delicious Cinnamon Roll Pancakes, you just might like the latest recipe that I’ve posted for Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Pancakes too. And Gingerbread- Cinnamon Roll Pancakes too. Enjoy! Here’s a short video sharing how to make these delicious pancakes: If you’ve ever thought you needed a reason to eat pancakes, today is the day: National Pancake Day! How do you like your pancakes? But recently I started dreaming about mixing cinnamon rolls and pancakes together… and this is what I came up with- my new favorite pancake: Cinnamon Roll Pancakes. I have a wonderfully fluffy pancake batter that I like to use (recipe below) so I swirled a bit of cinnamon roll filling into the pancake. And they cooked up just like a pancake- fluffy, but with craters of crusty, sugary cinnamon swirled within. You might find three of these stacked in a fancy breakfast restaurant, but I’m gonna tell you that one pancake is all you need. Oh yeah. Ingredients:

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie I made you a pie. Well, okay… I made you the filling of a pie. I bought the crust. I don’t do crusts. But I made croissants so that makes up for it. Way back when I shared a chocolate chip cookie pie that I found on a yellowed scrap of newspaper in my mom’s recipe box… and it literally tasted like a giant chocolate chip cookie. I’ve only made it once since then because if it’s made, it’s eaten. By me. All of it. Just try it. So… I made the pie with pumpkin. I woke up on Sunday morning with one thought in my mind: pumpkin chocolate chip cookie pie. Alright, I sorta do. See, for the last four weeks I’ve been trying to perfect a seriously CHEWY pumpkin chocolate chip cookie. I’m probably the reason for the pumpkin shortage because, um… I think I’ve gone through at least 10 cans trying to perfect these stupid chewy cookies. I’m convinced waking up with pumpkin cookie pie on the brain was the universe’s way of telling me to lay off the cookies. Oh, except for one thing. Not all of it. Print Save

Barkin' Good M&M's Halloween Bark Recipe - #MMsGetCorny I woke up this morning with my mind on baking. 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?
