Here's a quick and fun Christmas recipe for you to try! Inspired by my Peanut Butter Crunch Balls, I decided to change things up and create Mint Chocolate Crunch Squares. These treats are so so so good! They are minty, chocolatey, crunchy, and everything else you can imagine LOL. I used this frosting again from All Recipes because it is easy to make and taste great! I also decorated the tops of the squares with crushed up mint chocolate squares from the bulk food section at the grocery store!
Who doesn't love a blondie with a little extra sweet something in the middle of your bite? These blondies were sweet and mosit with a surprise caramel hidding inside of them. They were best right out of the oven or re-heated in the microwave because then the caramel was warm and gooey! I got this recipe from Martha Stewart's new 'Everyday Food' cookbook, it is on the last page in the cookbook and they are called Halloween Blondies. I decided to skip the festive candy coated chocolates and stick with caramels instead.
I have made this recipe before and it turned out so well I had to make it again. The first time I used this recipe from Bake or Break, I omitted the blackberries and substituted homemade blackberry plum jam instead and the bars worked out really well. But this time, I had a whole bag full of frozen blackberries sitting in my freezer from a friend at work. I used the blackberries frozen in the recipe but I should have thawed them in the fridge and drained them before using them because there was a bit too much extra juice, making the bars too mois
I got this recipe from my mom's house, she has a stack of old magazine and newspaper cut-outs of recipes and I borrowed some to try. I'm not positive where the source came from but I think it was inside a little Smucker's Food of Canada catalogue. I followed the recipe exactly except that I substituted ground almonds for the whole pecans. It still tasted really good, I think I just changed the texture of the bars slightly by adding crushed nuts rather than whole ones. The bars were like a mix between Skor chocolate bars and a blondie; the bottom layer was soft and chewy and the top layers were crunchy toffee bites with chocolate. I would make this recipe again especially because I love the combination of toffee and chocolate! Here's the recipe for yo
My friend Paul from work requested some treats for his next shift with me. So I made him make up a list of things he likes and doesn't like because he can picky when it comes to my treats. On his 'Likes' list he included coconut, lemon, orange, and chewy; on his 'Dislikes' list he included raisins. So with that in mind, I started looking for recipes and got torn between Recipe Girl's bar recipe and The Pioneer Woman's loaf cake recipe. I decided to mix the two recipes using Paul's favorite things and came up with lemon bars&n
Once again I'm sorry for the long delay on posting recipes but I just got back from a 10 day campiong trip on Vancouver Island. But right before I left, I made a quick batch of these blondies for the trip. They were perfect convenient sized bars that packed well and were very delicious. We all ate them by the campfire after making some burgers and hot dogs, and they hit the sweet spot perfectly. I called them a classic blondie because they taste exactly how a traditional blondies should taste, chewy and sweet with just a hint of vanilla flavor. I copied the recipe from my 'The Best of Fine Cooking: Cookies' cookbook but just changed around a few things. So here's the recipe for a yummy and chewy blondie.
Although I did enjoy using the multigrain rice krispies to make the classic rice krispie squares recipe with marshmallows, but I thought I could enhance the flavor of the cereal better by adding some ingredients that would best compliment the flavors already in the cereal. The cereal itself has honey aromas in it, so I thought why not add some honey to this recipe, and there is also a strong multigrain taste so I thought it would be best complimented with a peanut butter flavor. These bars are similar to the scotcheroo's that I've previ
Kellog's just came out with a new kind of cereal called Multgrain Rice Krispies, which are exactly like rice krispies but loaded with fibre and are bigger. I thought I just had to give them a try and test them out in a classic rice kirspie recipe using just cereal, marshmallows, and butter. The cereal itself definately has a multigrain taste but also has hints of honey and sugar in it as well. They tasted well as a rice krispie square, not overly sweet like the originals and looked neat because of their big kispies. The squares worked out as well as I hoped but I realized after making these, that I don't particularily enjoy making rice krispie squares, their just too stick
I named these bars based on how I think they tasted; hearty and chocolatey with the right amount of banana to complement the oat flavor. Considering these were protein bars they ended up tasting pretty good, not overly sweet but not overly 'healthy' tasting either. They are easy enough to make and are a very versitile recipe that can be changed and manipulated to your own preferences. I got the recipe from Cookie Madness but after searching for a while I found that this recipe was on lots of other websites as well in slight different variations.
Who doesn't love one great big chocolate chip cookie?! When I saw this recipe on Diana's Desserts I was so drawn to it because of my love for chocolate chip cookies. The only change I made to the recipe was using 3/4 Cup brown sugar and 1/4 Cup granulated sugar. It turned out well; the recipe was easy to make, just like making regular chocolate chip cookies. I cut into the cookie cake after 30min of cooling because I was in a rush but I wish I would have waited until it had cooled completely to give me a better texture on the inside. It still ta
