    Chocolate Chip Toffee Cookies

    November 20, 2020 - By 

    Lately I’ve been in a cookie making mood. I love these cookies that have chocolate chips, rice crispy cereal, and toffee bits. Such a yummy combination and a fun way to mix up your everyday chocolate chip cookie. The toffee bits add a flavor punch and crunch, along with the rice crispy cereal that adds a little more crunch. TIP: What I have found to be convenient is to make the cookies up. Go ahead and preheat the oven and make one pan full of cookies, which is maybe 8-12 cookies depending on the size of the pan. Then, I…

    Mini Churros

    April 27, 2018 - By 

    Recently when I made some homemade dough in the bread machine, I had some dough left over. I didn’t want to waste it so Drew and I decided to try our hand at making some Mini Churros. They turned out great, so I’m afraid every time I make homemade dough we’re going to find a way to have some left over dough! If you don’t have any homemade dough, this would work great with refrigerated croissants or biscuits as well. These are definitely going on my menu for Cinco De Mayo! Servings:6-8 Prep Time: 5 minutes Cooking Time: 15 minutes…

    Chocolate Topped Peanut Butter Blondies

    December 23, 2017 - By 

    Blondie? No not that Blondie. More like this… You know I’ve heard of the food Blondie, but never really knew what it was. I always kind of thought it was a cookie of some sort. But, for many years I’ve wondered what the yummy peanut butter bars that I used to get at good old Glenview Elementary way back in the 80’s when I was a student there. They were always so yummy with a light chocolate topping. I recently started doing some research and started seeing some recipes that looked and sounded much like what I had looking for.…

    February 23, 2015 - By 

    Chess Cake with Pecans is just one of the yummiest desserts I’ve ever had. Now I’ll admit when I indulge on dessert, I usually want it to have chocolate in it.

Next time you’re looking for an amazing, non-chocolate dessert, you should give this a try! Servings: 18 Prep Time: 15 minutes Cooking Time: 40 minutes Ingredients: 1 cup chopped pecans 1/2 cup…
