First, before I get myself into any trouble – I am not in any way affiliated with the Harry Potter brand, J.K. Rowling, or Universal Studios. The first time I made these blondies, we had recently returned from a trip to Universal Studios where my kids had all experienced...

For a very long time, I found blondies to be uniformly disappointing. I wanted to like them, I liked the idea of them. Blondies are basically chocolate chip cookies in bar form, what’s not to like? But, without fail, they failed to impress. They were cakey, or bready. They...

It has been nearly three months since I have shared a new brownie recipe, obviously far too long. This recipe is another mashup, this time inspired by my oldest child. Sometimes, I’m not really sure what I feel like making so I’ll fish for ideas, asking my family what...

Over the years, as we began sharing my holiday trays a bit more broadly, I started to become more aware of food allergies and what the composition of the items on my trays was. I really wanted to make sure as many people as possible could find something to...

These graham cracker millionaire bars are one of the most recent additions to my holiday goodie trays, and one of my absolute favorites. When I was developing this recipe, millionaire bars were the current hot thing, you found them all over the internet. I knew I wanted to do...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Another recipe from the very earliest days of Chocoholic Anonymous (circa 2008 or 2009 I think), this recipe was inspired by an over abundance of Halloween candy and a timely recipe post from one of my favorite food bloggers, Jennifer, over at Bake or Break (she actually updated her...
