Homemade Peanut Butter Cups
Homemade Peanut Butter Cups are what dreams are made of. I’ve made these multiple times, and each time is harder and harder to not eat the entire batch myself! If you love Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, you are going to want to try these. Personally, I think they are better than the store-bought version. They are rich and creamy, perfectly sweet, and super easy to make. And they are healthy-ish 😊 An absolute crowd pleaser when you are looking for a light dessert or something sweet to share. They WILL disappear quickly. I brought some to a potluck at work, ended up sharing the recipe, multiple people told me they made them for their families, and planned to make them again. So that’s what I’m hoping to accomplish when I share the recipe with you today! The recipe can be found here. Start by adding 12 muffin liners to a muffin … Continue reading

Sweets For Your Sweetheart
Valentine’s Day is fast approaching. Do you plan to celebrate with your significant other, kids, or perhaps host a Galentine’s Day celebration? We like to do something every year but it’s never the same thing. Some years we go out, some years we stay in, and some years we postpone until we can figure out what we want to do. Whatever you end up doing (or not doing), I hope you enjoy it! One tradition of mine is to ALWAYS make a beverage or 2 and a dessert or 2 to celebrate during the month of February. I try to make simple recipes that don’t take a lot of time or ingredients and are something anyone could whip up at home. Here’s what I have for you this year: Strawberry Pink Hot Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake Martini Love Letter Pastries Strawberry Puff Pastry Hearts Now let’s walk through how to make each recipe: STRAWBERRY PINK HOT … Continue reading

Treats for Muggles & Wizards Alike!
The Harry Potter books are something I grew up reading and then fell in love with the movies as they came out in theaters. To this day, we have a Harry Potter marathon at our house some weekend during the winter months to enjoy the films. If you have about 20 hours of free time, I suggest you do the same 😊 Kidding! We don’t watch the movies in one sitting but it is fun to watch them consecutively and within a few weeks of each other to get the full effect. The one thing I struggle with is snacks and beverages. I want something themed to go along with our viewing but don’t always plan ahead. This year, I am planning way ahead. We’re going to enjoy various versions of Butterbeer (IFYKY) and a few themed snacks. Here’s what we’ll be enjoying! Copycat Hot Butterbeer Copycat Cold Butterbeer Copycat … Continue reading

Peanut Butter Blossom Bars
I’m sure you are familiar with the ever-popular Peanut Butter Blossoms in cookie form, but have you ever tried them in bar form? If not, you are in for a treat! The cookie versions are incredible, but they are a little time consuming to make because you must roll out the dough into individual cookies before baking. The bars don’t require any extra work yet taste identical. I highly recommend giving them a try! The recipe can be found here. Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F and spray a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray. Also use the preheating time to unwarp the Hershey Kisses. Add the softened butter, peanut butter (I like to use creamy), sugar, and brown sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer and beat until well combined. Add the egg, milk, and vanilla, and mix until well combined. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt, and mix until … Continue reading
