Barefoot Bloggers: Outrageous Brownies

Outrageous indeed! These are probably the richest brownies I have ever had. So rich, that a little square is all you need to satisfy even the biggest chocolate craving! I made these for a  Mother’s Day Brunch and everyone agreed they were delicious. The only change I made to the recipe was to decrease the amount of instant coffee [...]

Peanut Butter Crispy Bars

This weeks Snack Food Sunday post is a sweet treat. I have been eyeing these bars since drooling over the pictures at Smitten Kitchen in October. Deb warns you about making these bars, and she is right, they are fan-freakin-tastic! Something about creamy peanut butter sandwiched between sweetened rice crispies and smooth chocolate makes these irresistible. [...]

Pumpkin Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting

There are variations of pumpkin bars everywhere these days, but I really like these ones from allrecipes.com. I like to bake them in a 9×13 pan, resulting in more of a cake like bar. I brought these into work for a fall treat and they were a hit with my coworkers. I topped the bars [...]

Blueberry Crumb Bars

I will be honest, I don’t even like blueberries. I try to like blueberries, I mean the look good and they are certainly good for you, but I just can’t do it. However, Nate loves blueberries, therefore my In-laws brought us a huge box of freshly picked blueberries last Saturday. Nate made a blueberry pie [...]

Raspberry Bars

I saw these Apricot Bars over at The Pioneer Woman Cooks and immediately thought to make them with raspberry. Neither one of us really cares for apricot, but Nate loves all things raspberry, so I whipped up a batch for him to take to work. The bars are very similar to the Oatmeal Carmelitas I [...]

Death By Chocolate Trifle

I have been making this trifle for a couple years now and it is always a huge hit! There are several variations on this recipe, but I like this version the best. Not to mention that this delicious combination of chocolate, whipped cream and toffee bars looks beautiful when layered in a trifle dish.

Death By Chocolate [...]

Oatmeal Carmelitas

When the mood to bake struck me the other day, I wandered over to Blonde Ambition in the Kitchen knowing she would have something yummy for me to make. I was looking for something caramely when I found these bars, originally from Pillsbury.
I only made 1/2 of a batch and it is a good thing! These hit the [...]

Key Lime Bars

When Joelen posted about her new blogging event, Tasty Tools, I immediately knew I wanted to make key lime something. I love all key lime desserts, but have never made any at home. When I went to Target to pick up a microplane, I wandered into the magazine aisle, and ”The Best of America’s Test Kitchen: Best Recipes and Reviews of 2008″ jumped [...]

Chocolate and peanut butter…The ultimate combination

I have wanted to make Hershey’s Best Brownies for a while now, so when I had time I decided to go all out and add a creamy peanut butter frosting. I used to have a great recipe for peanut butter frosting, but unfortunately could not find it, so after some browsing I used this one from [...]
