If you’re going to add caramel you may as well salt it, right? I still haven’t gotten my brother and sister to like salted caramel but one of these days I know it’s going to happen.

I couldn’t stand it anymore. . . I had to make a Cookie Monster themed dessert! It started with this ice cream, then I spotted this fudge. Then just the other day, my friend Kristan posted a Cookie Monster cake. So that’s how the candy bark happened – and lucky for me, Wilton makes candy melts in dark blue. Did you know this?? What that means is that this candy bark couldn’t be any easier. It only requires 3 or 4 ingredients depending on the type of cookies you buy. This bark would be fantastic for a party – think Sesame Street themed. Or maybe for a holiday like Halloween. Or any day, really. I mean do you really need a reason to make a Cookie Monster dessert? Ingredients Wilton Candy Melts - Royal Blue 2 packages Wilton Candy Eyes - one package Mini Cookies - like Oreos Chips Ahoy Supplies Parchment paper Baking tray with four sides Instructions Follow the instructions on the candy melt package for melting. I use the Wilton Melting Pot, but you can do it in a stove pot or double boil...

THIS POST WAS SPONSORED BY STARBUCKS AS PART OF AN INFLUENCER ACTIVATION FOR INFLUENCE CENTRAL. I RECEIVED COMPENSATION AND COMPLIMENTARY PRODUCTS TO FACILITATE MY REVIEW. S’mores Whoopie Pies are basically a rich chocolate ganache and smooth marshmallow buttercream sandwiched between two graham cracker cake cookies. When you eat one you will toss your skinny jeans out the window and embrace your “fat pants” because you will realize that eating something so decadent is worth whatever price. And who really looks good in skinny jeans anyway?

Since going gluten free my doughnut dreams have been somewhat shattered and my relationship with these baked goods have come to a stand still as I have yet to find a doughnut that tastes like the Krispy Kreme’s I used to devour and love. Fed up with waiting, I decided to make own version inspired by a peanut slice I picked up at The Good Earth a while back. I had to satisfy my doughnut cravings somehow and this was the perfect flavour to do it with because let’s be honest these nutty caramel chocolatey rings scream deliciousness. Not only are they naughty and totally scrumptious, they’re raw, vegan and made with good for you ingredients. What more could you want? With a soft nougat base, chocolate coating and caramel drizzle, these rawified snickers doughnuts are totally scrumptious. Ingredients <b>Base</b><br><br> 1 1/2 cups oatmeal 1/2 cup. almond meal 1/4 cup. maple syrup 2 tbsp. water 1/2 cup. roasted peanuts<br><br> <b>Chocolate</b>...

Everyone Loved These Valentine’s Cookies! I brought these Valentine’s Day Slice N’ Bake Cookies to my women’s bible study and they loved them! First, they couldn’t believe that they were homemade, they kept asking questions about how I made them. Since the process is kind of difficult to describe in words, I created a short step by step video that does a great job at walking you through what you need to do. The ladies also commented that the flavor and texture was phenomenal, plus that they were the cutest Valentine’s Day cookies! Ingredients: 3 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 cup  granulated sugar 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened 1 large egg 1 tsp vanilla extract 1/2 tsp almond extract pink and red gel food coloring valentine's day nonpareil sprinkles Directions: In a bowl, combine the flour and baking powder.

It’s funny because in my original recipe I talk about my then 4 year old and how he’s obsessed with strawberries, and he still is now at nine! In fact, I had three pints just sitting in my fridge because he goes through them so quickly! These cookies are not hard to make but there are a few notes for the result to come out good.

These Butter Pecan Cookies are full of crunch, soft, chewy and buttery! They get even better the second day too, making them a great cookie to make ahead! So yesterday we officially closed on our new house! Buying and selling a house is SUCH a process, it was a huge relief to at least be done with the buying part. Now we are packing the last few things and slowly getting moved. We’ve got movers coming Monday to move all the big stuff, but we can hardly contain ourselves – we have been moving some boxes on our own as well. Plus I’m pretty sure that both the hubs and I are nesting. I don’t know if guys can nest or not (technically they lack all the hormones and stuff), but we’ve been collecting baby stuff for a little bit now and it’s all been in boxes. We’ve been dying to get it all out, so the first things we moved over were the boxes of baby things. The first furniture that went up were the cribs. 🙂 Now we are ready for twins. Ha! But really, I’m looking forward to finally being able...

***Feel like you’re seeing double?  Yes, this is a repost of a previous recipe. I’m reposting it for the holidays, as it’s become quite popular, and I’m adding in a couple of hints that might help you along come baking time…. It seems that a lot of people are having a rough time with the cookies spreading.  My guess is that they haven’t used the correct amount of coconut.  Make sure that you grab a 14 oz. bag of coconut.  There are 10 oz. and 14 oz. bags available at my grocery store.  Go big! Also, parchment paper and wax paper are two completely different things.  Do not try to bake these on wax paper.  The paper will melt.  I recommend parchment paper or a Silpat mat.  The cookies are sticky, so take care in removing them from the parchment once they’ve cooled.  Slide a thin spatula under each cookie to remove it. OK, back to the original post.  And…..go….*** Sometimes, simplicity is key. And in this case, simplicity is delicious...
