Neapolitan Rice Krispie Treats

March 29, 2012

Yes, this recipe was another inspired find via Pinterest. When will the intervention be scheduled? No, really, I’m not that bad. Honestly there’s a lot of junk swimming around the site now that it has become so overwhelmingly popular. That means that I get extra excited when I manage to come across an idea that [...]

Mint Julep Cupcakes

September 23, 2010

The first thing that came to mind as I topped these cupcakes with their frizzy hats of mint was that I’d obviously just baked an edible version of the Truffula Tress from The Lorax.

White-Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

March 9, 2009

I didn’t eat chocolate for a year once. Admittedly, my anti-confection atonement was bizarre and completely vanity driven but at the time it felt good to exercise a little personal self-control.

Chocolate-Oatmeal Cupcakes With Maple-Bacon Butter Cream

Anna really wanted to make them for a brunch party she was attending on Sunday morning. The only problem was that the recipe was giving her serious [...]

Heart-Shaped Peppermint Patties

February 2, 2009

Before the question is even posed I’ll just go ahead and tell you that, yes, these do taste eerily similar to York Peppermint Patties. The recipe is incredibly simple and also incredibly sticky. I’ve thoroughly wiped my island down three times since making the candy on Sunday morning and it still has some sort of [...]
