Mint Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bars

This Mint Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bar recipe was created especially for the mint chocolate lovers out there. You know who you are.

When it comes to cookies, I have to admit I like the dough more than the cookies. {{{gasp}}} Can we still be friends?

My all time favorite is chocolate chip. I know, it’s hard to believe that with all those options out there I chose a classic, but you like what you like.

In my house there are only 2 perfect matches for chocolate. One is of course peanut butter (chocolate’s quintessential match made in heaven) the second of course is mint. Chad is bonkers over peppermint or crème de menthe and when you mix them with chocolate he is over the moon!

Candy Corn Oreo Cookies and Cream Fudge Bars

My husband is a huge fan of candy corn. As soon as you see them in the stores they will certainly be in my pantry. Well this year we happened to be at Target and Chad spotted the candy corn Oreo's. He surprised me with them. You see he loves candy corn and I love Oreo's. It is like a match made in a sugar heaven.

Of course I could have just devoured the whole bag of Oreo's, which to be honest did originally sound like the best option. But I decided to create a fabulous dessert that would combine these fun Oreo's and candy corn.

Perfect Peach Cobbler Dump Cake

It seems I just missed peach season this year and I have been craving peaches like crazy. I love my peaches with cinnamon and nutmeg and topped with a cobbler of some sort. Yes, they are also scrumptious in a smoothie, grilled, with whiskey, and of course fresh. But right now all I can think of is cake. Peaches and cake. Shocking huh?

Well if you know much about me, cake is my weakness. Crumb cake, cupcake, pancake, layer cake, sheet cake, cake balls... OK, before I start sounding like Bubba Gump let's move on. If you care to see into the inspiration behind my cake obsession check out our Cake Cake Cake Pinterest board.

A reader mentioned their favorite cobbler yesterday on our Facebook page and I got to thinking. In Florida, which is mostly southern whether y'all like it or not, we enjoyed many southern traditions. Cooking whole animals in a fire pit, drinking out of mason jars, muddin', 4 wheelin', and of course any reason to throw a get together. Would it surprise you to learn that I used to drive a big ol' pick up truck?

The Best Ever Simple Carrot Cake with Cheesecake Frosting

One of my best friends, YaYa celebrated her birthday last week. Of course I bake her a cake every year for her birthday. I have made a few different ones, but now she hints that she wants my Carrot Cake with Toasted Pecans. I can't blame her, it is a magnificent cake. Gorgeous and scrumptious.

But lately I have been really exhausted and the thought of preparing cake pans and washing all the bowls did not appeal to me in the least. So I decided to reinvent this cake. One bowl, one whisk, one sheet cake with a cream cheese frosting that tastes just like fluffy cheesecake.

Simply Blissful Chewy White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies in 30 Minutes

With a love of Strabucks Cranberry Bliss Bars it was only a matter of time before that inspiration carried over to another treat. These are the epitome of the cranberry bliss bar perfectly packaged in a crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside cookie.

After eating these by the handful I decided it was best to freeze them and keep them out of my sight. You know they say out of sight out of mind. Sadly, that doesn't always work. So now I have started a whole new method to keep from eating them all.

Jack Daniel's Salted Caramel Fudge Brownie

Although I prefer lemon over chocolate my favorite cookie is the chocolate chip cookie. I prefer vanilla over chocolate {{{gasp}}}... You can keep reading, its okay. I swear I am human. So anyway, I prefer vanilla over chocolate, yet I would choose a brownie over a blondie any day.
