Peanut Clusters in holiday wrappers

Slow Cooker Peanut Clusters

Confections, Desserts, Holiday Recipes, Holiday Treats, Recipes /

I do a lot of baking at the holidays, and I love to add some type of homemade candy to the mix. These slow cooker-made peanut clusters are pure genius. You literally add all the ingredients to a slow cooker, let the chocolate melt on low for a while, mix it and dollop out the clusters. Boom. Done. You can double this if you need a large quantity for no extra effort. They’re always a hit! A friend’s mom I used to see every Christmas Eve would look forward to them each year. To me, there’s no bigger compliment than to have someone enjoy a homemade treat I’ve made.

Five Minute Paleo Fudge

Confections, Desserts, Recipes, Vegan Desserts /

If you’re following a Paleo, vegan, or gluten-free diet, sometimes it’s challenging to find delicious recipes for anything that feels indulgent. This is it. Whether you’re following a specific special diet or not, this fudge is so easy, and SO yummy. Make a quick batch for yourself or someone you love. They are absolutely amazing. I’ve made them with both peanut butter and almond butter and they are straight-up wonderful in the best possible melt-in-your-mouth way. A little bit of Maldon salt on top? Chef kiss.

I realize you may have made Rice Krispie Treats before, AND yes, the easiest way to a Rice Krispie Treat is to buy one, but let me try to convince why you should make your own. These treats are SO yummy, and so easy to make! The browned butter just elevates these, unbelievably. I always love when a dessert gives you an unexpected amount of flavor. These don’t just taste like sugar. They are NEXT LEVEL. I’ve made these with butterscotch chips and peanut butter chips. Both delicious – your pick!

Halloween bark with candy corn and sprinkles

Chocolate Toffee Halloween Bark

Confections, Desserts, Holiday Treats, Recipes /

Nothing scary and no special tricks needed to make this easy treat!  This toffee brittle is a blank canvas just begging for you to go all Jackson Pollock on. Switch it up and use what you have on hand.  Milk chocolate, white chocolate, semi-sweet or dark. See what I used to make this, or use your own imagination for toppings. Keep this cold so it doesn’t become a melty (albeit) delicious mess!

I have Thanksgiving cocktail napkins that say, “I’m here for the pie.” Aren’t we all? The problem is after the feast everyone is just as stuffed as the turkey was, and now we all have to decide: Apple? Pecan? Pumpkin?? God help me… can I make room for all 3!? This might help. These little Mini Apple Pies deliver the goods without needing to find room for another slice of pie.

Chocolate peanut butter bars

Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

Brownies & Bar Cookies, Desserts, Recipes /

A lot of bakers know the old classic “Magic Cookie Bars” recipe that’s been around forever. This is a variation using only semisweet chocolate and peanut butter chips, which were basically made for each other. Honestly, this is probably the dessert I get asked to bring most often. I keep these ingredients on hand all the time, because it’s my go-to when I need a quick and easy dessert that travels well. People flip out for these bars, and I’m embarrassed to take credit for a spectacular dessert because they’re so easy, I hardly feel like I worked at it.
