Dessert Recipes

Yep, I’m baking again! I have a good excuse this time and it’s not just to eat the goodies. It was my mother-in-law’s birthday this weekend and I just had to make her “my special birthday cake”. I’m a big believer that everyone should have cake on their birthday. Adults get my special “Ultimate Death …

I’ve got myself in a little baking bonanza right now. To be honest, I’m always the Baking Betty but I just haven’t shared that with you until recently. I’ve always joked with my family that the only way I’m going to look skinnier is to make them all fat around me. Hmmmm.  Maybe that’s exactly what …

After my recipe, the Ultimate Pretzel Crusted Peanut Butter Cookie Candy Brownie Bars, pretty much became the most popular dessert on Pinterest this week, I started getting the same question over and over.

Dear Pinterest, I can’t quit you!  I NEED to quit you! My thighs NEED me to quit you! But I obviously can’t. You are an online drug that sucks time away from my work and my life. Good thing you give me things like yummy brownies or it would totally be a one-sided relationship! I know …

It’s a holiday week and I wanted to share a little slice of heaven that I like to make for the holidays!  Some may call these “Oreo Balls” or “Oreo Truffles” but I like to call them “dessert balls”.  I’m not sure where the original recipe is from (possibly Ms. Crocker, the Pillsbury family or …

Maybe because it’s camping season?  Maybe because 4th of July is right around the corner?  Maybe because I’m “trying” to diet?  Not sure what it is but I have been craving s’mores for a few weeks now!  Gooey marshmallow.  Rich chocolate.  Crunchy graham crackers.  What’s not to love?  So, when I was browsing Twitter yesterday, …

Have you had a Starbucks cake pop yet? Oh, I have. And let me tell you- they are delish. You want to know what else? They are really easy to make. Hand on my heart and with the Girl Scout’s Honor, I promise that you can recreate the cake pop in your own home. Cake …
