Treats

Pecan Brittle

Having grown up in the south, everyone always talked about peanut brittle and how great it was. But I just couldn’t get behind it. I may have grown up in Peanut Town (if you know you know lol) but they were always the lesser nut …

Sweet Potato Pie

Sweet potato pies are better than pumpkin pies. There, I said it! Lol! As I’ve mentioned before, pumpkin is not high on my list of fall flavors. Now sweet potatoes on the other hand, much more my vibe! And if we are being honest, they …

Khalua Iced Chocolate Cake with Caramel

Chocolate? Check! Coffee? Check! Booze? CHECK!! If you are a caramel mocha kinda person who also loves to add Khalua to any beverage they can think of, then this cake is definitely for you! This is a fairly simple chocolate cake that’s been dressed up …

Browned Butter Brownies

It took a few tries, but I’ve finally found a brownie recipe that tops a box mix! ( insert roaring applause here 😛 ) I think it’s safe to say we all grew up eating copious amounts of brownies that came from a box (or …

Double Chocolate Banana Bread

I’ve always been a “nuts in my banana bread” kinda person, but this double chocolate recipe really has me rethinking some life choices! Considering I was a strong believer that chocolate chips did not belong in banana bread, I’m not really sure what possessed me …

Cinnamon Raisin Scones

I’ve developed a few different scone flavors over the years, but this is by far my favorite! It just brings me right back to being a kid and going through the Hardee’s drive through for breakfast. Sure, they had a biscuit version. But we can …

Banana Nut Sheet Cake with Brown Butter Icing

Banana bread was one of the first things I learned to bake and it’s stayed a staple in my house. But every time I make it my boyfriend jokes that it needs icing. Well, Mario, this one’s for you (; While he is wrong and …

Fruity Pebbles Macarons

I think most of us can agree that Fruity Pebbles hold a special place in our hearts in the childhood foods section. It’s not something that I necessarily want to eat nowadays, but there is something about that flavor that I knew I needed back …

Blueberry Poptarts

I’ll admit poptarts were never my thing growing up. I was definitely more of a toaster strudel kind of girl. But making them homemade is a TOTAL game changer! These poptarts are made with a super flaky pie crust, blueberry filling, and a deliciously simple …
