I don't usually make Valentine's treats, but when I do, I go all out. I wanted to make something nice and sweet for my coworkers after a long week of weather coverage last week. It's nice to have a treat every once in a while--and they don't last long around the newsroom. These brownie truffles… Continue reading Valentine’s Brownie Truffles

Black Forest Cookies
One of my favorite types of cake is a black forest cake. It's a luscious chocolate cake with a rich cherry filling and it's absolutely sublime. Anytime I'm at a bakery and I spot a black forest cake I'll ask for a slice. It's the king of cakes, in my opinion. Imagine my surprise when… Continue reading Black Forest Cookies

Thin Mint Cups
One of my favorite things to do over the holidays is to make treats and candies for my neighbors and friends. I've been experimenting in the kitchen with different treats this year and have unfortunately made rather small batches of each, but I'm hoping I can knock out a bunch next weekend. One of the… Continue reading Thin Mint Cups

When I was doing research on this recipe, I kept seeing comments on other magic bar recipes saying stuff like, "I think an ingredient is missing. Don't you need flour so it's not so liquidy?" Here's a helpful hint for… Continue reading Pumpkin Spice Magic Bars
Strawberry Chocolate Chip Protein Pancake Bites
I've never been a person who liked sweet breakfast foods. Cereal, waffles, pancakes, French toast--- all of those things are sub-standard to me. I will gladly choose a breakfast burrito or bacon and eggs above a plate of pancakes anyday. I make sweet breakfasts for my husband all the time. He enjoys eating oatmeal before… Continue reading Strawberry Chocolate Chip Protein Pancake Bites
Chocolate Peanut Butter Buckeye Bars
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
Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Crackers
It's the holiday baking, candy-making and treat-giving season! I've been busy this weekend whipping up a bunch of Christmas treats (and Chex Mix) for family and friends. I can't take the treats to work like usually do every year since I'm work from home, but I'm still able to give some out to people. As… Continue reading Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Crackers
