Better-Than-Crack Brownies
I’m sorry for doing this to you. I really am. But see, last Friday while I was on a 10-hour road trip heading for vacation, I received this recipe from a reader named Liz.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars
There is a deli near my house that makes the most amazing chocolate peanut butter bars. I have been trying to come up with a copycat version of them for some time & this recipe is pretty much it. I thought they would be a great dessert to make for the bake sale, as chocolate/peanut butter desserts are very popular & these are super simple & don't require any baking!

This time I decided to make it with those mini fruit flavored marshmallows. I had to sort them by colour first. I figured they would add a little bit of flavor to the fondant so I wouldn't have to add much flavoring oil. I use gel colours to dye my fondant but regular food colouring will work too. You won't be able to get really dark colours without making your fondant sticky, but for lighter colours you can just even it out with more icing sugar.
Homemade Raw Chocolate - Edible Harmony
If we were to make a Top 10 list of worldwide favorite foods, I’m convinced raw chocolate would definitely be in the running for the title. To anyone with a sweet tooth, raw chocolate can be anything from a sugar craving “extinguisher”, to a cheap, safe alternative to…ok, let’s not get carried away here. Abundant in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytonutrients such as flavonols and theobromine, chocolate is among the elite group of superfoods that are not only sweet and delicious, but also nutritious and chock-full of health-enhancing substances. In any case, the health benefits of this delicacy cannot be overlooked, and we should lose the guilt when indulging in one of mankind’s greatest creations. Ingredients: ½ cup of raw cacao butter* 2 tbsp of coconut oil ¼ cup + 1 tbsp of raw cacao powder** Sweetener to taste ( I used 2 tbsp of raw honey)
Cake Batter Chocolate Bark
I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited to share a recipe with you. Or to lick a bowl. The secret ingredient here?
King Arthur Flour - King Arthur Flour – Baking Banter
Have you ever baked something that made you do the Daffy Duck? You know, the cartoon scene where Daffy runs about yelling, “I’m rich, I’m rich, whoop, whoop, yippee, I’m rich!” He’s bouncing around on his head, feet, hands, and rump in a spastic outpouring of sheer joy. Yep, the Daffy Duck. Not everything we bake here in the kitchen gets us to do the Daffy Duck.
Pudding Cups
Wicked Good Chocolate Peanut Butter Pudding Cups. They’re from the book, Sticky, Chewy, Messy, Gooey Treats for Kids by Jill O’Connor and just as good as their name states. Jill sent me and my niece a copy of her book as a little thank you for a post I did inspired by her Cheesecake Pops. We had a hard time deciding which recipe to try first, but we kept coming back to these pudding cups. They were really fun to make and even more fun to eat.
DIY: Homemade York Peppermint Patties Recipe
Halloween is just a couple of days away, but you won’t find any spooky decorations at my house. I’m pretty much the scrooge of Halloween… I think I stopped trick or treating before I was out of grade school, and only dressed up once (in college, and it was a tie-dye t-shirt – I made myself a hippie) since then… I hate scary movies… spiders, skulls and eye balls gross me out. However, I do find that Halloween has one redeeming quality – the candy, of course!
