Homemade Peanut Butter Cups

Homemade Peanut Butter Cups are what dreams are made of. I’ve made these multiple times, and each time is harder and harder to not eat the entire batch myself! If you love Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, you are going to want to try these. Personally, I think they are better than the store-bought version. They are rich and creamy, perfectly sweet, and super easy to make. And they are healthy-ish 😊 An absolute crowd pleaser when you are looking for a light dessert or something sweet to share. They WILL disappear quickly. I brought some to a potluck at work, ended up sharing the recipe, multiple people told me they made them for their families, and planned to make them again. So that’s what I’m hoping to accomplish when I share the recipe with you today! The recipe can be found here. Start by adding 12 muffin liners to a muffin … Continue reading

Sweets For Your Sweetheart

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching. Do you plan to celebrate with your significant other, kids, or perhaps host a Galentine’s Day celebration? We like to do something every year but it’s never the same thing. Some years we go out, some years we stay in, and some years we postpone until we can figure out what we want to do. Whatever you end up doing (or not doing), I hope you enjoy it! One tradition of mine is to ALWAYS make a beverage or 2 and a dessert or 2 to celebrate during the month of February. I try to make simple recipes that don’t take a lot of time or ingredients and are something anyone could whip up at home. Here’s what I have for you this year: Strawberry Pink Hot Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake Martini Love Letter Pastries Strawberry Puff Pastry Hearts Now let’s walk through how to make each recipe: STRAWBERRY PINK HOT … Continue reading

Soft & Chewy Cookies – Part 2

Cookies are something I always enjoy baking and sharing with others. They tend to make enough to bring to work, have throughout the week at home, or freeze for later (although I don’t know why you would have any to freeze and not eat them right away). And the recipes are often simple or less complicated that you can quickly whip up a batch. Today I have 4 different cookie varieties to share. All are incredibly soft and chewy (hence the blog name), large (like large enough to share), and contain great flavor combinations. Here’s what I have for you: Soft & Chewy Carrot Cake Cookies Soft & Chewy Dulce de Leche Cookies Soft & Chewy Cookies & Cream Cookies Soft & Chewy Peanut Butter Cup Cookies Now let’s walk through how to make them. Each recipe makes 7-8 cookies (one actually makes 12 but who’s counting), but they are decent sized cookies and can be shared … Continue reading
