York Sensation (or Sensational) Brownies have been around since at least the late 1980’s, gaining popularity throughout the 1990’s (which coincides with my memories of mom first making these brownies when I was in high school) and continuing to appear all around the internet today, including ‘official’ versions on...

Have you ever looked at a thumbprint cookie and thought it was a bit of a tease? How much filling can realistically be contained in a thumbprint? I’ll tell you, not very much at all. Most thumbprint recipes call for a scant 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of filling, barely...

Fudge recipes using marshmallow cream (or creme) have been around since at least the 1950’s, and for very good reason. They are one of the quickest and easiest types of fudge to make as they don’t require a candy thermometer or any experience or “knack” to determine when the...

Last week I shared a basic recipe for brookies – the smash-up recipe swirling brownie and blondie batters into one delectable treat, perfect for when you are not sure which dessert you’re craving more. But what if you decide you have an equal craving for both brownies and blondies...

Sometimes I can be a little bit indecisive – for instance, do I want brownies, or do I want blondies? They are both so good that sometimes I can’t choose. Or, maybe it is that sometimes I just don’t want to choose, I simply want both brownies and blondies...
