Chocolate Peppermint Trifles
Chocolate Peppermint Trifles are a wonderful no bake dessert for the holidays! Think layers of cookie crumbs, chocolate pudding, whipped cream, and crushed candy canes…it’s delicious! It’s a simple recipe that takes about 15 minutes to make and then sets in the fridge until ready to serve. I like to serve mine in 4-8oz trifle containers, but you could divide the pudding between 8-4oz containers to stretch it further. The recipe can be found here. Start by adding the Oreos to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse into fine crumbs then divided between 4 8oz trifle dishes (or 8 4oz dishes) and use the back of a spoon to press into the bottom. If you don’t care for mint flavoring, you can use regular Oreos for the base. Add the milk, chocolate pudding, vanilla pudding, and peppermint extract to a large mixing bowl. Whisk to combine and set aside. The mixture will become thick. Same as before if you … Continue reading

Loaded Brownie Ice Cream Cake
Loaded Brownie Ice Cream Cake screams indulgence! The bottom is a thick fudge brownie that is topped with hot fudge, caramel sauce, ice cream, Oreo cookies, whipped cream, and more cookies. It’s a rich dessert that you won’t want to share, lol! I think ice cream desserts can be enjoyed year-round. Sure, they are necessary during summer months but every now and again I do crave a yummy ice cream dessert during fall or frigid winter months. It’s dessert…it’s for any time of year. This recipe in particular is a showstopper. It’s rich, indulgent, sweet, and you don’t need a big slice to feel satisfied because it’s so dense. The recipe can be found here. Start by preparing the brownie mix according to package instructions, using a 9×13 baking dish. Don’t over bake the brownies! But do let them cool completely. If you have a deeper 9×13 baking dish, use that. The ingredients get piled high! If you have a standard 9×13 baking dish that … Continue reading

Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Bars
Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Bars are one of my top 10 favorite desserts. They are essentially cream sandwiches you make on a rimmed baking sheet. A combination of chocolate and peanut butter makes up the flavors in the cookie with a hint of sea salt sprinkled on top. The filling is basic vanilla ice cream. However, you can use any ice cream flavor of your choosing. Chocolate ice cream would make the perfect chocolate extreme dessert. Salted Caramel ice cream would pair nicely with the chocolate/peanut butter cookies. You get the idea! Make this dessert your own. The recipe can be found here. Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously spray an 18×13 rimmed baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Please do not forget this step or you will have quite a hard time removing the bars! Melt 2 sticks of butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. … Continue reading

Homemade Buster Bar Ice Cream Dessert
Homemade Buster Bar Ice Cream Dessert is one of those desserts you can’t get enough of! It’s loaded with peanuts, vanilla ice cream, an Oreo crust, and a chocolatey-fudgy topping. It’s perfect on a hot summer day…or really any day because ice cream isn’t limited to summer enjoyment 😊 It’s a dessert I would recommend for a dinner party or birthday party. It has something for everyone, is filling, and will feed a crowd. The recipe can be found here. Start by softening the ice cream so it’s easier to work with. Do this by placing the quart of ice cream on the counter for 15-20 minutes to soften while you prepare the other ingredients. Add the Oreos to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until you have fine crumbs. Pour the crumbs into a mixing bowl and add 1 stick of melted butter. Stir to combine. The mixture will resemble wet sand. Press this mixture into the bottom of … Continue reading

Apple Pickings
As colder weather sets in you are probably looking for something warm and filling to satisfy your cravings. It is apple season (so move over pumpkin spice) and I think apple is one of the best flavors of the season because it pairs well with many dishes. There are so many varieties of apples you are sure to find one that is your favorite and tastes great on a salad, or in a sandwich, or perhaps baked into a dessert. I like to create new recipes each fall that are themed around apples and have a few to share with you today: Slow Cooker Apple Cider Chicken & Apple Melts with Honey Mustard Gouda, Apple & Bacon Naan Flatbread Caramel Apple Cupcakes Slow Cooker Apple Cider is completely homemade. The base is water, you add chopped fruit and some mulling spices, turn on the slow cooker, and forget it overnight. Your house will … Continue reading

Say Goodbye to Summer with Homemade Ice Cream
Summer is officially over, and fall is officially here! That means the temperatures are starting to drop, but it isn’t quite cold enough yet, to stop eating ice cream and enjoying some warmer weather treats. Before you finally put away your ice cream maker for the year, try out these 3 new ice cream recipes I’m going to share with you today. Banana Ice Cream Salted Caramel Ice Cream Frosted Animal Cookie Ice Cream Banana Ice Cream is rich, creamy, and has wonderful flavoring so don’t toss out those overly ripe bananas (and don’t save them for the banana bread you are never going to make, lol). Turn them into Banana Ice Cream instead! It’s delicious and tastes just banana pudding but in frozen form 😊 Banana is my dad’s favorite flavor to get in a shake or malt so I thought why not try making Banana Ice Cream that I can share with … Continue reading

All Things Pumpkin Spice!
It’s my favorite time of year! The weather is starting to cool down, the leaves are starting to change, and you can find pumpkin spice at just about any store. That’s what I’m talking about when I say my favorite time of year…. all things pumpkin spice. I love the flavor, but I also love that it’s available for a limited time, so it’s something I look forward to enjoying. I like to create a few new recipes each year that are pumpkin spice themed. Most are breakfast or dessert themed but that’s OK with me! Pumpkin spice is a combination of nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, and ginger. It’s sweet, spicy, warm, and cozy. Yes…cozy. Think of the feeling you get when you drink a hot cup of apple cider on a cool day. That’s a feeling I get when enjoying pumpkin spice food. Even better, the pumpkin spice recipes I’m going to share with you today are hearty and filling, … Continue reading

Summer is coming to an end, kids are starting school, cooler weather is on the way, and you are probably stuck with the never-ending questions about snack time at home 😊 I’ve always been a big fan of keeping “chow” on hand for an easy snack you can grab on the go but also a snack that will last a few days. Chow is known by a few different names and it’s something I’m sure you’ve tried before. I like to play around with different flavor combinations and create unique ways to change the recipe, so we don’t get sick of the same old thing week after week. Today I want to share with you my recipes for 5 different Chow recipes: Snickers Frosted Animal Cookie Butterfinger Twix Edible Cookie Dough Snickers Chow is loaded with rice cereal, chocolate, powdered sugar, chopped Snicker bars, and peanuts.
