Thursday, December 23rd, 2010

Most recipes you’ll find on this site are very easy, relatively quick, and usually inexpensive. This recipe is one of the exceptions, but I just had to share it with you. When I saw this recipe on another blog, I just knew I had to try it. Matt (my hubby) is a HUGE fan of […]

Are you starting to get the picture here? I’m somewhat obsessed with peanut butter…can you tell? I think it’s one of the finest things on this earth! And something about this time of year makes me want to eat it in every single dessert or sweet that I make. I promise after this week the […]

Call this candy what you like, I simply call it crack because it’s just that dang addictive! If you are a salty/sweet combo person, you are going to LOVE this treat. I am simply powerless when it comes to resisting this dessert. Yesterday when I was making it my husband came home and asked me […]

Hello Mandy Bars

Peanut Butter Krunchies

This time of year something just makes me want to eat sweets…doesn’t matter what it is as long as it has LOTS of sugar in it. I can’t resist so why even try? I’ll work it all off after the start of the new year, right? So since I’m in baking overload, I made this […]
