Special K Scotcheroo Truffles

December 17th already?!

I am in disbelief. Even though we’ve already had snow come and go and I celebrated Christmas early with my family, it still feels like Thanksgiving was just the other day.

Believe it or not, I have hardly done any Christmas baking this year. This is hiiiighly unusual for me, but I just don’t have as many reasons to bake this year and I know if I overdo it, I’ll be the one who eats it all and suffers the consequences. Been there, done that.

Not that that stops me from baking entirely…😉

I’ve consumed my fair share of Christmas cookies this year already and the month is only halfway done!

This yummy treat isn’t a cookie per say, nor is it baked. It is pretty delicious and it’s a fun twist on my favorite bar (or square, or whatever you prefer to call it in your corner of the world!).

Take 5 Apple Salad {+ Candy Recipe Round-Up!}

November 5, 2018 / 0 Comments

As promised, I’m back with another version of the Apple Snicker Bar Salad from a few weeks ago!

And I must say, in my book, this version is an upgrade. Take 5s are one of my favorite – maybe even THE absolute favorite – candy bars, and they pair pretty perfectly with a bowl of apples and pudding.

Anyone else grow up eating this classic?

This is picnic and potluck food at its finest. It’s not high-class cuisine by any means and you won’t find it served at any formal event. But it’s easy, it feeds a crowd, it calls for chopped candy bars and it’s still considered a “salad.” This is an all-around win.

Peach Pie

My grandma makes the best peach pie. 🍑 She makes the best of a lot of things. She’s 91, still lives independently with my 93-year-old grandpa, and still spends as much time in the kitchen as ever! She just brought one of these pies over last weekend and it was gone before we knew it.
