Bar cookies are so much fun to make. They can be as simple as blondies and brownies, or they can be made of several layers that give them a more complex flavor. When I was flipping through my cookbooks, these caught my eye, especially when they were described as being very similar to Twix bars. [...]

I love Nutella, and I’m always excited to see another dessert idea to use it. I’ve been on a chocolate and marshmallow kick lately, so these seemed like the perfect way to satisfy my Nutella craving. I made them into bars instead of a tart, just out of personal preference. I also used honey roasted [...]

I’ve been all about pumpkin lately, and I was so excited to see this recipe. It’s a lot like pumpkin pie, but in bar form. It starts off with an oat-flour crust, which is pre-baked before you add the filling. The filling is very similar to a filling that you would use for pumpkin pie, [...]

I have been wanting to make these for a long time, but since David doesn’t like nuts in his food 99% of the time, I knew I’d be the only one eating them. I had to wait for an opportunity to share these with some people who would really appreciate them, so I waited until [...]

I love baking with apples, especially in the fall. As much as I love chocolate, apples and pumpkin come in a pretty close second. I made these delicious bars last year after a football game when we had people over to hang out (unfortunately we lost that game), so I will forever associate these bars [...]

Before last year, I was never into baking or eating things with pumpkin in it, except for pumpkin pie and Thanksgiving. I tried Hershey’s Pumpkin Spice Kisses and made these brownies, and I was sold. Pumpkin fever had me. I baked a few pumpkin goodies last year, and couldn’t wait until this fall to try [...]

My mom used to make these treats when my sister and I were little, and I always looked forward to them. I was thinking about them recently, and realized that it had been many years since I had last eaten one. I decided that I needed to remedy that, and make them myself. They are [...]

I haven’t made Rice Krispy Treats in a while, but was recently searching for a good dessert to make quickly. I thought it would be fun to try this recipe, since it is a big twist on the original. When I was little, my mom would occasionally make Cocoa Krispy Treats, and I looked forward [...]

I’ve been wanting to make these for a long time! I thought they would get chosen last fall, but when they weren’t, I figured we’d probably make them this year. Many people tend to think of apples as a fall ingredient, much like pumpkin, but I think apples are good to bake with all year. [...]

I was searching for a good snack to take to the beach, and when I came across these bars, I knew they would be perfect. I love combination of oatmeal and chocolate, and these would be great no-fuss bars to snack on. They take about ten minutes to put together, so it’s an easy dessert [...]
