My husband is a huge fan of peanut butter. He'll eat it on just about anything: graham crackers, chocolate, or simply by the spoonful. That's why I try to make a peanut-butter inspired treat for him every now and then. I've made chocolate peanute butter cookies, peanut butter blossoms, and even a cake-style Buckeye bar.… Continue reading Chocolate Peanut Butter Buckeye Bars

Cranberry Oat Bread
It's a winter wonderland here in Oklahoma right now! Snow about 4-6 inches thick blankets the ground. The temperature is hovering in the 20's with overcast skies.

White Chocolate Cranberry Fudge
There's something about melting chocolate that's just so, so difficult. If chocolate can melt so easily in your hand, why is it so hard to melt it in a bowl? I think I've finally mastered the art of melting chocolate, though. I made it work once and I've used the same utensils, the same brand… Continue reading White Chocolate Cranberry Fudge

Merry Christmas Eve Eve! I can't believe it's already December 23rd. I remember putting up my tree on November 1st and that feels like just yesterday.
