A blog full of sweets and treats that are delicious, fun and simple to create.
Hands down one of our all time favorite desserts in this house is brownies. A hot version with a scoop of ice cream? A la mode heaven. Add in some caramel and toffee? I think yes. Heck yes! You should probably make these. And you can serve them straight from the pan like this… But I highly recommend topping them with a scoop of ice cream and a little more caramel sauce. I mean if you are going to serve {Read More}
I have a great recipe for you today that is easy to make and will give you a great new option for your holiday cookie trays. Cinnamon Caramel Swirl Bars! I was recently asked by McCormick to be a part of their Seconal Seven Flavors Holiday Program. So many of our favorite flavors of the holiday season center around seven different flavors… nutmeg, ginger, sage, vanilla, peppermint, poultry seasoning and cinnamon. I get to represent cinnamon, something I use all {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}
I love all my recipes, I really do. But some I love just a little extra. And this recipe is one of those. Have you ever wondered what would happen if two of your favorite holiday treats collide? Well, let me tell you, if those treats are Buckeye Ball Peanut Butter Balls and Magic Cookie Bars, it turns out to be a very, VERY good thing. Did I mention it’s a good thing? And if that incredible deliciousness isn’t enough, {Read More}
One of my favorite food blogs is Averie Cooks. Not only is Averie one of the sweetest bloggers I know, but her recipes make me swoon, stare longingly at my screen and quite possibly drool a fair amount. And she is amazing at creating bar recipes, so when I wanted to do a week of magic cookie and seven layer bars, I knew I just had to include some of Averie’s recipes. Here are some of the delicious decadent bars {Read More}
While thinking of different ingredients that could be used in seven layer magic cookie bars, I came across a combo so fabulous that I simply had to share. Hayley, also known as The Domestic Rebel, created Gingerbread 7 Layer Bars. Um, yes please! Holy bar loving amazingness! Hayley’s version uses the same Duncan Hines Frosting Creations Gingerbread Flavor Packet that I used for my Gingerbread Cinnamon Rolls (which happens to be the flavor that I fell in love with when {Read More}
Day two of Magic Cookie Bar Week and after going a little peppermint crazy with yesterday’s Peppermint Bites From Other Blogs, I simply had to bring some peppermint goodness to a magic cookie bar. These are loaded with just about every candy cane flavored treat I had in my house, including Candy Cane Oreos, White Chocolate Peppermint M&M’s, Jet-Puffed Peppermint Mallow Bits and Andes Peppermint Crunch Baking Bits. As my philosophy always goes, if you can’t find these items, just {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}
Such a yummy recipe to share today. Simple to make? Check. Delicious? Check. Fabulous for the holiday season? Check. Hey, that works for me. Peppermint Stick Cake Bars. These are made the way that magic cookie bars are – a bottom layer, yummy toppings and sweetened condensed milk. I’ve found that to be quite the winning combo. To take it to a whole other level, it is then drizzled with Duncan Hines Frosting Creations Peppermint Stick Frosting. I ADORE peppermint {Read More}
Let’s talk chocolate. Really amazing chocolate. Chocolate you can use to make things like this… You know the saying “go to your happy place”? Well, I’m happy to announce I’ve found my happy place. It has been hiding in a box of Julia Baker Confections Chocolates. Yeah, right in there. Wait for it… Julia Baker Confections French Caramel Truffle. Quite possibly one of the best things I’ve ever tasted. If I was asked to be on that show “The Best {Read More}
Magic Cookie Bars, also called Seven Layer Bars, are without a doubt one of my most favorite desserts EVER. It is the one thing that I make at Christmas that I have no willpower over, and thus have to make them at the very last minute (if I don’t, I end up needing to make a second pan – hanging head in shame). I’m always amazed at how something so simple can be SO delicious. While hitting the Easter {Read More}
Magic cookie bars. Seven Layer Bars. Whatever you call them – I love them. I usually only make them for Christmas, and they are hands down the treat I look forward to the most. An added plus for me is that a lot of people seem to be a bit turned off by coconut and thus do not try them. This leaves more for me. I’m sooo fine with that. Buttery graham cracker crust, gooey creamy sweetened condensed {Read More}
