Peanut Butter Cups
Since I’ve discovered that it’s insanely easy to make your own peanut butter, I’ve gone a bit crazy with it. I had four jars in my pantry, and while we do go through a lot of peanut butter, it would be awhile before we could make a dent in that. Cue the peanut butter desserts. Wait, scratch that. Cue the easy, no-bake peanut butter desserts with only four ingredients! Seriously, can’t beat that! The most difficult thing about this recipe is melting the chocolate. If…

Share-It Saturday: Week 5
Is it just me or did that week fly by?

With fall right around the corner, I was immediately drawn to the Baked Apple Cider Doughnuts from What’s Cooking In The Burbs. Have you…

From time to time, I’ll share my favorites with you – what I’m loving,…

Homemade Ding Dongs
Me and my big ideas, right? Sometimes, there’s a reason that desserts are mass-produced in huge factories with their fancy ding-dong shaping machines and magical ding-dong dipping pools full of chocolate. They probably even have their own version of Oompa-Loompas, perfectly injecting each one with just the right amount of marshmallow cream. I just have little old me. And a three-year-old helper – who happens to love marshmallow cream – and ALWAYS, ALWAYS manages to drop a spoon, beater or spatula dipped in the stuff…
