Like most Americans, I’m sure, I adore the taste of chocolate, graham crackers, and gooey marshmallows together. And I’m also sure I’m not alone in dreading the hassle that it is to make s’mores. Classic over-the-campfire s’mores are great when you’re camping, but what about when you’re at home…in your air conditioned kitchen? I had…
Sea Salt Caramel Bars
I had company over for dinner the other night, and wanted to make an easy – and new – dessert for after the meal. I had all the ingredients out for S’mores Bars, but realized at the last moment that I didn’t have enough chocolate…so I turned to another recipe that I had been wanting…

Butterfinger Rice Krispie Treats
I don’t know about you, but I adore Butterfingers. And rice krispie treats. OK, I am pretty partial to most sweets. You can’t go wrong when you pair two favorites – Butterfingers candy bars and rice krispie treats. Oh, and marshmallows. Can’t forget the marshmallows. I’ve been cooking like a mad woman lately (I’ll apologize…

World Nutella Day with Banana Nutella Blondies and Strawberry Nutella Wraps
Move over Valentine’s Day…February 5th is World Nutella Day. …and I’ve got two amazing Nutella desserts for you! I find it hard to believe that only a few years ago I hadn’t even tasted Nutella. Now it’s a house staple. We typically eat Nutella spread on warm English Muffins or bagels, but it is absolutely…
