Peanut Butter Balls

Tuesday, December 21st, 2010

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 […]

Ritz Cracker Candy

Monday, December 20th, 2010

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

Saturday, December 18th, 2010

A few days ago I posted on my Facebook asking for family recipes from friends that they like to make this time of year. A sweet friend and huge prayer warrior for my son sent me a message suggesting that I make Hello Dolly bars. Since I have never made these, but have heard about […]

Take 4 Treats

Friday, December 17th, 2010

Have you ever had a Take 5 candy bar? If you haven’t, you are missing out. It is our family’s all time favorite candy bar. So much so that I keep a stash of them hidden in my, NOPE! Can’t tell you where or you might come eat them! They are called Take 5 because […]

Double Peanut Butter Cookies

I’ve been making these a batch at a time for at least the last two weeks, and my family (especially the baby) has been gobbling them up right and left. These are beyond delicious and are a welcome sight on any dessert tray this time of year. You can substitute any kind of candy that […]

Peanut Butter Krunchies

Monday, December 13th, 2010

This is probably THE all-time favorite Christmas candy of anything that my family has ever made. I can only think of one person who doesn’t like these, and that’s my dad. But he doesn’t like peanut butter, so it’s a given he wouldn’t like these. I can’t imagine anyone ever not liking peanut butter because […]

Pecan Pie

Friday, December 10th, 2010

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 […]

Molasses Cookies

Thursday, December 2nd, 2010

It’s cookie season! For me, at least. This time of year I am a baking fool, constantly making lots of goodies to share with all of my friends and family. Actually one of my favorite things each holiday season is our annual candy/cookie making day that my mom, sister, and I always do. We go […]

Southern Buttermilk Pie

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010

If you are looking for a great last-minute dessert for Thanksgiving, this is it! Super simple to make and you only need a few ingredients. The first time I mentioned something about this dessert to people that weren’t from around here, they could not believe that “down here” we ate a pie made out of […]
