Caramel Apple Caramels
Since the 1950s, caramel apples have been one of the most iconic treats on the fair midway — that perfect collision of sweet, chewy, creamy caramel and crisp, sweet‑tart apples. These caramel candies capture all of that flavor in every smooth, creamy, perfectly chewy bite. The secret is a...
Caramel Corn Caramels
This is the caramel recipe for popcorn fans, caramel corn fans, or anyone who loves the salty‑sweet flavor trend. Buttery, salty popcorn flavor is infused into every creamy, chewy bite, and the glossy caramel corn kernel on top adds a perfect crunchy contrast while deepening the popcorn notes even...
Mini Batch Caramel Corn
For anyone who grew up snacking on Cracker Jack, this caramel‑candy–coated popcorn is pure nostalgia. Like the original, my caramel corn uses a molasses‑based syrup that bakes into a light, crisp candy shell around tender, freshly popped kernels. I skipped the peanuts (I always ate around them anyway), but...
Marshmallow Crème
Anyone who grew up in New England definitely knows the sticky, creamy magic that is “Fluff”. It is the essence of the gooey, melty center of a toasted marshmallow captured at its peak and tucked into a jar. Yet, for all its sweet, nostalgic perfection, commercial marshmallow fluff has...
Pumpkin Butter
I know I hinted at some amazing pumpkin breakfast rolls coming up next, and I promise we will get there, but, we can’t make the breakfast rolls without pumpkin butter. A deeply flavorful, thick and spreadable pumpkin butter forms the foundation of my pumpkin breakfast roll filling, providing a...
Sea Salt Caramel Coconut Chips
Last week, we chatted about the recent scarcity of coconut snack products, particularly the chocolate covered and cocoa coconut chips that were among my family’s favorites. Despite a small hiccup in the process (due to brand differences in coconut flakes), I was able to successfully make chocolate coconut chips...
Chocolate Coconut Chips
Is it just me, or are coconut chips, particularly chocolate coconut chips, more difficult to come by these days? My younger son loves coconut and used to regularly ask me to buy the chocolate covered coconut chips as a special snack, while I was partial to the cocoa coconut...
Dark Chocolate Caramel Macaroon Tart
If today was Easter for you, I hope it was a very happy one, otherwise, I hope you had a fabulous Sunday 🙂! When I was growing up, religion didn’t figure very strongly in my family’s daily life. We didn’t attend church outside of events such as weddings or...
Caramel Apple Pie Filling
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...
Toffee Crunch Flourless Brownies
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...
