Apple desserts are far and away my favorite fruit based desserts. Apple pie is pretty much the only fruit based pie I will eat (willingly and happily) and the only one I make somewhat regularly. I like apples on top of cheesecakes, waffles, vanilla or caramel ice cream and...

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...

From macaroons last week to macarons this week. Despite the somewhat similar names and both of my recipes using a French style meringue base, macaroons and macarons are quite different. If the macaroons are one of the simplest recipes I make for the holidays, the macarons are one of...

The fifth, and final, fudge recipe included on my holiday goodie trays is my award winning Red Velvet Fudge. This fudge is very much a crowd pleaser, it is one of the first to disappear on goodie trays I’ve brought to work or shared with friends and it has...

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...

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...
