A blog full of sweets and treats that are delicious, fun and simple to create.
These are crazy good, there is just no other way to put it. A rich chocolate brownie, in cupcake form, stuffed with peanut butter cups and peanut butter and topped with peanut butter buttercream frosting. Excessive? Yes. Delicious? Beyond. The only thing better than a brownie is one that is frosted and stuffed. Why hello there. Have we met? Making these decadent treats is easy. It’s the same process that I used for these brownie cupcakes. I freeze my peanut {Read More}
Life is full of hard choices. There are big issues like where to live, what to do for a living, what on earth to make for dinner or how full to let your cart get at Target… While I really have no answers on those to give you, I do have a way to settle the question of “should I have a brownie, a cupcake or a cookie?”. How about all of the above. A Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownie {Read More}
These are kind of amazing. And with a name like Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookie Stuffed Brownie Cupcakes With Cookie Dough Frosting, how could they not be? Even more amazing when you realize that there is a cookie inside. A caramel filled chocolate chip cookie. And they are frosted with cookie dough frosting. How I have gone this long in life without cookie dough frosting is a mystery to me. The stuff is life altering, it’s that good. These are actually {Read More}
While I love almost all desserts, to me the BEST desserts fall into the “a la mode” category. They are warm and topped with ice cream, and that combo takes almost any dessert to a whole other level. I LOVE A La Mode. For a while I’ve been trying to come up with a quick and easy way to make an individual serving of brownie a la mode at home, and the results aren’t always the best. Some have turned {Read More}
One of my husband’s favorite treats are the peanut butter filled pretzels from Trader Joe’s. The perfect combo of peanut butter and pretzel, all in one bite. And don’t even get me started on the chocolate covered version, they are basically bliss in a bag. Pair these babies with brownies and this is the result… Peanut Butter Filled Pretzel Brownies. Don’t even think about it, just make them. I used my favorite homemade brownie recipe, but you could absolutely use {Read More}
One of my absolute flavor combinations is salty and sweet. It’s hard to beat – almost perfection. I recently came across these Pretzel Balls from HK Anderson online, and after searching (obsessively) for months, I finally found them. I found some small sized bags of these at Big Lots. Mine were called Popcorn Style Pretzel Balls, but I think they are the same thing. The company has a product finder online, but most of the stores I went to {Read More}
Everyone seems to be loving the Chicago Metallic Brownie Bowls as much as I do (make sure to go enter to win yours – I have three sets to give away!). From the day they arrived, my daughter has been begging me to fill one with chocolate mousse. She wore me down, but I decided I would cheat a bit and make a super quick and easy mousse using Cool Whip and hot cocoa mix. I was NOT expecting it {Read More}
A few weeks ago I was catching up on my favorite blogs, and reading about Bakerella’s trip to the Home and Housewares Show when I spotted a new product from Chicago Metallic – an amazing mold to make Brownie Bowls. Shut the front door. BROWNIE BOWLS. I couldn’t hurry myself over to the Chicago Metallic website fast enough. And there they were. An amazing set of Brownie Bowls for $10.99. Shopping cart, checkout, start stalking UPS trucks… And they arrived. {Read More}
I couldn’t help but notice this special package of Birthday Cake Oreos popping up all over the internet the past week or so… Well if Oreo wants to celebrate a birthday, who am I to not accept the invitation to join them? I mean they added SPRINKLES and we all know I love sprinkles. So let’s take a look… The first thing I noticed was a sweet smell – a different smell from regular Oreos. Someone mentioned it being similar {Read More}
It’s that time of year again. You know, that whole workout more, eat less, get fit time of year. I usually don’t set any lofty goals that have a high likelihood of failure. I’m a realist, and I know that if I say “I will never eat sugar again”, I will most likely end up consuming 28,649 calories worth of raw cookie dough by the end of the week. I just don’t do well with deprivation. I do better {Read More}
I’ve mentioned before that I usually make my brownies from a box mix. I grew up on the box brownies and when I think of brownies, those are what I think of. Most homemade brownies are a bit more “cakey” than I like, or they call for melting unsweetened chocolate, which I never have on hand, so box it is. Well I think I found a brownie recipe that may change all of that. This recipe could be used year {Read More}
Look what I have… Holiday Peeps! And some special new ones… Caramel Peeps! Dipped in both milk and dark chocolate. Yum!!! So, what can we do with them? Let’s start with brownies, and make something like this… This is so fun and super easy. Start by
