peanut butter rice krispies treats

Given the hot weather, I’ve come to appreciate “no-bake” cookies more than ever and have been experimenting with new recipes. Since my favorite no-bakes always seem to involve Rice Krispies, I consulted with Katrina, an expert on the subject!  Between the two of us, we’ve made loads of different varieties (including Chipotle Rice Krispies …

Grape Nuts Peanut Butter Bars

A few weeks ago I saw an ad for cookies made with Grape Nuts. At the time, I didn’t even like Grape Nuts, but I was so intent on trying the recipe that I forgot about my childhood Grape Nuts aversion and threw a box into the basket. Flash forward to now, where …

Danish Biscuit Cake

Picking one recipe was tough because there are so many great Danish recipes. At one point our plan was to go with “Aeblekage” an simple dessert made with crumbs and applesauce, but in the end we decided to make something a little easier to divvy up between 200 Dixie cups. We are going to make “Kiksekage” or “Chocolate Biscuit Cake”, a no-bake recipe where you layer squares butter cookies in a matrix of chocolate, butter and (depending on the recipe) eggs and/or cream.

Scotcheroos are one of my all-time favorite cookies, so you’d think I wouldn’t forget their name.

Indoor S’mores

indoor smores

I found this recipe 30 years ago on the back of a Golden Grahams box, and even though I was only about Fuzz’s age, I was smart enough to know that something made with dry breakfast cereal could never come close to the real thing; because If you think about it, s’mores are the perfect [...]

Cannoli

In the previous post I mentioned my step-dad, Sal. Along with wishing he were alive to watch the inauguration, I wish he were here to help us eat some cannoli. Sal was Sicilian American and knew a thing or two about the pastry. I sometimes take for granted how lucky I was to have him [...]

Swag Bars

Today’s recipe is based on a cookie served at The Swag Inn, a country inn in Waynesville, NC known for its beautiful hiking trails. It also appears in the current issue of Cooking Light where there’s kind of a cute story about how the cookie got discovered. I’ll let you buy the magazine …
