And, we’re back to peanut butter. And mini shortbread cookies. And milk chocolate. Oh my. These are great for a bite sized chocolate snack, but be careful…they’re addictive! First, get some peanut butter and mini shortbread cookies. The 100 calories snack size cookies are a perfect size for the mold that I bought from theRead More

S’mores Bars
I love s’mores, but sitting in front of a camp fire in the middle of the day while it’s 95 degrees outside isn’t all that appealing when I develop a craving for one. So, here’s the compromise. Grab some honey graham crackers from the store, along with some marshmallow creme to be inside the chocolateRead More
Chocolate/Peanut Butter Chip Cookies
I absolutely love chocolate chip cookies, but peanut butter chips are just as wonderful…so I decided to combine the two in order to make one heck of a delicious cookie. The combination was very, very successful. My parents were visiting when I made these cookies, and I had to move the bowl. My dad keptRead More
Happy Cookies!
These cookies are a combination of milk chocolate, yellow (vanilla) chocolate, peanut butter and a Ritz cracker…no wonder they’re smiling! Taking a bite of these cookies will actually make your taste buds smile even bigger. I bought the mold for these at AC Moore. Technically, they’re for lollipops, but I wanted to use them asRead More
Carolina Gamecock Cupcakes and Cakes
GOOO GAMECOCKS!! Sorry, I’m a fan. These yellow cupcakes are topped in tinted buttercream icing to match the school’s colors, garnet and black. They’re topped off with helmets and footballs that are made out of chocolate. To get the garnet color with the chocolate, I mixed red chocolate with a little bit of dark chocolate. Read More
Mocha Cake Pops/Balls
Dark chocolate cake mix made with strong coffee, mixed with coffee icing and covered with dark chocolate. These should help you perk up in the morning! These were delicious, but I wondered if maybe there was a little too much icing. I used 1 1/2 cups, and will probably try them with just 1 cupRead More
Lactation Cookies
After giving birth to my daughter, someone made these cookies for me. I laughed at the thought of them actually helping my milk supply, but they really did…and I had absolutely NO problem eating at least 4 of them a day. I was pretty disappointed when I ran out, and fussed at my husband ifRead More
Peanut Butter Ritz Cookies
The word “favorite” doesn’t even do justice for these cookies. Whenever I make a batch of these, they disappear faster than anything else I’ve ever made. Even when I talk about them in front of people who have had them, they start asking questions as to when I’m going to make them again…they really areRead More
Mocha Cake
This is a 3-layer 9 inch double chocolate cake with chocolate chips, coffee and mocha icing. The cake mix is super moist and thick, one of those cakes that makes you say, “Mmmm,” when you bite into it. This is the same recipe I used for the mocha cupcakes, only as a cake. I usedRead More
Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake
This cake is beyond delicious. Both times I’ve made this for family gatherings, it disappeared so quickly that not everyone was able to try it…which means I’ll have to make it again. Might be a conspiracy! This is made with french vanilla cake mix, lemon pudding mix, blueberries and cream cheese in the batter. ItRead More
