A blog full of sweets and treats that are delicious, fun and simple to create.
I’m not much of a drinker, I never really have been. I usually only drink on that rare occasion that I get out of the house to go out to dinner without the kids, which is starting to feel about as common as leap year. But when I do, my drink of choice is always, and I mean ALWAYS, the same. A nice, frosty margarita, with salt. I love margaritas, such a happy fun drink and you get salt (yeah, {Read More}
Looking for a fun baking activity to do with the kids for Easter? I have one for you that you can even skip on the baking and go straight to the decorating if that works for you. All you need are some sugar cookies OR Rice Krispies Treats (a great option if you need to go gluten free), frosting, PEEPS and decorative candy and/or sprinkles. If you are pressed for time, or need to use store bought items (something we {Read More}
I’ve been wanting to make these cookies for a while but was missing a really important ingredient. That would be willpower. Dark chocolate, dense cookie, caramel, salt – seriously, how does one resist? They kind of just call your name. Or maybe they just call my name? A few weeks ago I was picking up some groceries at Trader Joe’s, trying to mind my own business, and they had these caramel wafer stroopwafel cookies hanging right by the juice boxes on {Read More}
One thing I make and share often on here are Oreo Cookie Pops… They are one of my favorite no bake treats, super easy to make and always well received. When I share them, I usually refer back to an earlier post showing how I made them, and often I get comments about “wait, those aren’t the same”. The fun thing with these (and so many other treats) is that the process to make them doesn’t change – all that {Read More}
A quick and easy idea for you today – White Chocolate Dipped Valentine Cookies… Remember the Sweetheart Pink Heart White Chocolate Chip Cookies I made last week? These are those same cookies (literally, same batch!) but instead of putting them into the heart shaped whoopie pie pan, I just made them as I normally make drop cookies. After baking the drop style cookies and letting them fully cool, I dipped them into a white chocolate coating and added sprinkles. As {Read More}
I have a fun and easy recipe for you today, perfect for Valentine’s Day. Sweet Heart Pink Heart Cookies. Fun little pink heart shaped cookies. I based these off of the Chocolate Chip Cookies in A Whoopie Pie Pan I made two years ago. If you have never made non-whoopie pie cookies in your whoopie pie pans, you totally must! I made two versions back in 2011, a round whoopie pie pan chocolate chip version… And I did a {Read More}
Just a quick little sweet to share with you today. Valentine Oreo Cookie Pops… Oreo Pops are one of my very favorite quick and easy no bake treats. I had some winter Oreos with the red filling sitting around, along with some red chocolate coating and sprinkles – and well, with that combo, these happened. If you haven’t done a lot of cake pop making and baking and want a quick and easy semi-homemade sweet “pop” – I highly recommend {Read More}
One thing I am big on is substitutions in baking, especially when it comes to things like muffins and quick breads. My oldest is an extremely picky eater and it has always been a challenge to get a good breakfast in her. Making over muffin recipes has been our saving grace. Top Left: Chocolate Made Over Muffin Success. Top Right: Pumpkin Banana Cinnamon Pecan Muffins. Bottom Left: Oatmeal Scotchie Muffins. Bottom Right: Chocolate Chip Cookie Muffins, Three Versions. She gets {Read More}
Last week I shared the super cute free holiday printable that is available over at Catch My Party. Well today I have another darling free printable to share from one of my favorite blogs, Hostess With The Mostess. The Santa Milk & Cookies Free Printable. In about two minutes time I printed off this darling set using my HP Printer & Ink, put some store bought cookies into a bag (it’s 3.5″ x 7.5″ and 2″ wide), cut out and {Read More}

When baking and packing up holiday treats to give out, one of the things I love to incorporate into my packaging are printables. There are so many awesome printables available for download, some for purchase and many for free, and they really can make a big difference on the presentation of your sweets and treats. With some super cute free holiday printables from Catch My Party, my HP printer & ink, scissors, tape, thread and a bit of ribbon, I {Read More}
For the final day in Magic Cookie Bar week, I decided to stick with the classic recipe, which in many ways, remains my favorite of the bunch. But given it’s the holidays, I decided to dress it up. It’s ready to hold it’s own on those cookie trays and at holiday parties… And I’m sharing my recipe today over on one of my favorite blogs, In Katrina’s Kitchen in her “I’ll Bring The Cookies” collection. If you haven’t {Read More}
