A blog full of sweets and treats that are delicious, fun and simple to create.
I’m still on that salty, sweet, tart, totally yummy margarita inspired recipe kick. And let me tell you, this Key Lime Margarita Pie might just be my favorite combo of those flavors to date. This pie not only tastes amazing, but it’s oh so easy to make. I’m an Arizona girl, so I am all about no bake desserts once the triple digits hit (which would be today)! It’s funny. If you asked me if I loved lime, I’d probably {Read More}
Chocolate covered pretzels are one of my go to treats. The combo of salty and sweet is always a crowd pleaser. You can easily dress up your chocolate covered pretzels for Easter by simply adding on some sugar decorations or even some PEEPS. Here is a video showing how I make my chocolate covered pretzels… I typically let my pretzels and toppings dry, then add a bit of the chocolate coating to the bottom of whatever I’m attaching, such as {Read More}
Do you know what today is? Let’s play multiple choice… A. It’s Pi Day – 3.14 B. It’s my 17th Wedding Anniversary C. It’s my brother’s 4th Wedding Anniversary D. All of the above If you went with D, All Of Above, you would be correct. And yes, my little brother stole my wedding date. So in honor of all of this awesomeness, I have to share a pie recipe with you, and it just so happens that I recently {Read More}
Ready for an incredibly easy salty sweet cupcake to kick off the week? How about a Butterfinger Mini Pretzel Cupcake? I think yes. I was wandering through the grocery section of my Walmart one day when I came across these, Utz Mini Pretzels Covered With Real Butterfinger… And obviously I bought them, you know, for “research”. Hello salty, sweet, crunchy, goodness – how you doin? As is usually the case with my grocery store, they appear to have had some {Read More}
I originally planned to take a look back and share my favorites from April through June, but geeze, April was a busy baking month with so many favorites that I decided they needed their own post. So let’s dig in to the yummy treats from April 2012… Oreo Truffle Stuffed Cupcakes With Cookies & Cream Frosting My much loved Oreo Truffles baked into a cupcake. Totally over the top. Totally delicious. Hot Cocoa Brownie Bowls With Two Minute Chocolate Mousse. {Read More}
I thought I would look back and share some of my very favorite recipes from 2012. Here are the ones I loved the most from January, February and March. Starting off is a lighter one, my More Fudge Less Pudge brownie recipe (like the box, but homemade!). I shared a video tutorial about how to make one of my all time favorite, easy to make, no bake, everyone loves to eat desserts, chocolate covered pretzels. Seriously, these are so {Read More}
Out of every sweet or treat I’ve ever made for the holidays, one item remains my most favorite ever… The Magic Cookie Bar. Or Seven Layer Bar. Call it whatever you want, it really is magic in a pan. And not only are they insanely delicious they are SO easy to make. You don’t even need a bowl (though for this version I used one bowl, but minimal clean up – I promise). Hello, how great is that??? And I {Read More}
I really am such a lucky girl that I get to create yummy treats for one of my favorite companies, PEEPS. When I say I’m a long time fan, I mean like life long. The photo to the left would be me, mid-70′s, with PEEPS. I would shave some years off my age and say that was the mid-80′s, but let’s be honest, that couch doesn’t lie. I have so much fun coming up with different ways to enjoy PEEPS {Read More}
A quick and easy no back sweet and salty treat for you this morning. Chocolate covered pretzels. I almost always default to these if I’m bringing a treat somewhere and am short on time. People are always amazed and think they must be so hard to make when in reality I think they are possibly the easiest item to create! And like most things, you can change the look so easily just by using different sprinkles, chocolate or sugar toppers. {Read More}
I usually try to create treats that look nice. I love when it’s possible to strike a balance between something being both visually appealing and totally delicious. But sometimes you just have to throw that out the door and make something like these… Over The Top Marshmallow Pretzel Pops. A lot to say. Heck, a lot to eat. These are kind of completely excessive. You have a giant marshmallow, a pretzel rod, caramel, chocolate, pretzel pieces and M&M’s. All in {Read More}
Thankfully I am not the only one who thinks that the combo of sweet and salty is a match made in heaven. And lucky for all of us there are a lot of GREAT recipes that bring this classic combo together in a variety of creative ways. Let’s check out the different types of salty sweet treats that bakers and bloggers are coming up with… I’ll start with one of my own, and it’s one of my favorites. Caramel & {Read More}
