Brown Sugar Eggnog Fudge
As I mentioned in last week’s post, fudge is one of my favorite things. While I have a definite preference for chocolate based fudge flavors, I also like to try and provide a variety that will appeal to a wider audience on my holiday trays – I really want...
Salted Caramel and Toffee Fudge
Normally, I’m not much of a candy person. I generally think the best use of candy is to bake it into something else. Unless that candy is fudge. My love affair with fudge started at a very young age. I remember my grandmother’s old fashioned cocoa fudge she would...
Black and White Espresso Sandwiches
Many of my goodie tray recipients refer to these cookies as “adult Oreos”. I’m not sure quite how accurate that description technically is, but I will say that these do give off a bit of an Oreo vibe visually. The texture is softer for both the cookies and the...
Spiced Molasses Cookies
Most of the recipes I use to create my Christmas goodie trays are included simply because I, or someone close to me, loves them. They are not necessarily a traditional holiday treat (although, I think for many of the recipients of my goodie trays, they have become exactly that)....
Triple Chocolate Cookies and Cream Brownies
This week, I’m sharing the second of the three brownie recipes included on my Christmas goodie trays. This one is a definite crowd pleaser, combining fudgy brownie, creamy center and America’s favorite cookie, Oreos. These also get a little extra hit of cookies and cream from chopped up Hershey’s...
Peanut Butter Cup Rice Krispie Treats
Welcome to the third installment of my Christmas goodies series (only twenty more to go!). This time I’m sharing a truly decadent take on Rice Krispie treats. My Peanut Butter Cup Rice Krispie Treats pack in four layers of peanut buttery, chocolatey, chewy, gooey, crispy deliciousness. These are another...
Peanut Butter Cup Caramel Brownies
Many people do Christmas (or holiday) cookie trays, and originally I did call mine that as well. But with trays that are comprised of an assortment of cookies, bars, brownies and fudges, it seemed a bit of a misnomer to call them cookie trays. As the number and variety...
Dark Chocolate Mint Thumbprints
How do we feel about Christmas in August? Is it too soon? In all honesty, it is probably a little too late, at least it is if I want to get all of my recipes for Christmas goodies posted before Christmas is actually here. Each year, in the weeks...
Soft Creamy Caramel Candy
I love caramel candy, but I’m not a big fan of of the stick in your teeth, hard to chew variety of caramels. Back when I first posted this recipe, there weren’t a lot of options for plain caramel candies at my local grocery store. In fact, there was...
Snickers Brownies
It has been about 3 weeks since I posted a brownie recipe, quite obviously too long! In previous posts, we discussed some differences between cocoa based and melted chocolate based brownies. This over-the-top, decadent recipe for Snickers Brownies is a melted chocolate based brownie recipe. From there, we load...
