S’mores Seven Layer Bars

Kelly — Sat, 14 Jun 2025 15:00:11 +0000

A spin off of the traditional 7-layer bar recipe, these s'mores seven layer bars have seven layers of course, but are all about s'mores! A graham cracker crust, a layer of graham cracker pieces, pretzels, marshmallows, semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips and smothered in sweetened condensed milk.

Cake Batter Scones

Kelly — Sat, 14 Jun 2025 13:22:39 +0000

Classic scone recipe, but with the addition of dry cake mix and cake batter flavoring. Scones are iced with a cake batter glaze and topped with sprinkles! I love making scones of any variety. And when I received Cake Batter Flavoring from Dolce Foglia, I knew I wanted to use it to make a fun twist on scones! And the flavoring is spot on cake batter flavor! PIN ME ⬇️

Graham Cracker Blondie Bars

Kelly — Sat, 14 Jun 2025 08:00:46 +0000

That classic graham cracker taste, mixed into a buttery, sugary cookie dough and baked to soft blondie perfection. These are also quick and easy to make and this recipe makes enough to feed a crowd! I bet if you went into your pantry right now, you would find all the ingredients you need to make these. This recipe uses one sleeve (or nine sheets) of graham crackers. Give or take after crushing into fine crumbs. After measuring out your crumbs for the blondie batter, you are going to use the rest of your leftover crumbs for the topping. I used honey flavored graham crackers in these blondies. And the easiest way to make graham cracker crumbs? Place the entire sleeve of graham crackers, still in the plastic, inside of a ziplock bag. Use the bottom of a heavy glass to smash the graham crackers into fine crumbs. These blondies have that nice crackly top thanks to the sugar and graham cracker crumb topping, but then you get that super soft, buttery cookie as you bite into them. PIN ME ⬇️

Sugar, Strategy, and Lady Luck: What Baking and Baccarat Have in Common

Kelly — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 16:27:40 +0000

If you’ve ever tried to whip egg whites to stiff peaks without overmixing, you already know: baking is a game of timing, technique, and a little bit of trust in the unknown. Now swap out the mixing bowl for a deck of cards, and suddenly, you’re playing baccarat. At first glance, baking and baccarat might seem like they live on totally different planets—one smells like vanilla and the other sounds like a high-stakes casino echo. But look a little closer, and you’ll see they share the same core ingredients: precision, strategy, and the kind of suspense that keeps you coming back for more. While most people associate ufa with online baccarat platforms, the experience it offers isn’t that far off from a late-night baking session: satisfying, a little addictive, and oddly relaxing—until the timer (or the dealer) hits zero. Let’s break down the unexpected, delicious connection between desserts and decks. Measuring Matters: The Role of Precision No baker worth their salt (or sugar) skips the measuring cup. Whether it’s two cups of flour or a quarter teaspoon of baking soda, precision makes or breaks the recipe. Overdo it on the leavening and your cookies might explode. Forget the sugar and—well, […]

Touchdown in Tasmania might mean different things to different people—but for food lovers, it signals one thing: it’s time to eat.From buttery pastries to berry-laced farm goods, Launceston and its surrounds offer a buffet of local flavors that deserve more than a rushed stop or a cold sandwich at the airport café.

Vanilla Bean No Bake Cheesecake

Kelly — Sun, 08 Jun 2025 18:00:29 +0000

A super easy no-bake vanilla cheesecake recipe coming at ya!! Cheesecake that is flavored with vanilla extract AND vanilla bean paste, all on top of a graham cracker crust. Fruit or candy toppings are optional! If you are a regular reader of the blog then you know cheesecake recipes here are few and far between. I just have never had much luck with no bake cheesecakes and the baked cheesecakes can be so fussy! But this no bake recipe was success!!! Super easy, no special pan needed, no baking needed and great consistency (aka: not cheesecake soup). I think my success with this no bake cheesecake came down to when I whipped the heavy whipping cream. I whipped the cream until it was just past stiff peaks and was starting to firm up, but before it reached the stage of becoming butter. I used Rodelle Vanilla Bean Paste AND Rodelle Baker’s Extract to bring out that vanilla flavor in this cheesecake. I love using vanilla bean paste because it brings such a great vanilla flavor to baked goods (or non-baked goods) and I love those vanilla bean specks! YES! Dress this cake up with your favorite fruit or candy topping. […]

Homemade Vanilla Marshmallows

Kelly — Sat, 07 Jun 2025 15:38:07 +0000

Homemade vanilla bean marshmallows. Homemade marshmallows versus the ones you buy at the grocery store, are two totally different things. These marshmallows are so good, you can just eat them as a snack…not something most do with store bought, bagged marshmallows. Homemade marshmallows only require a few ingredients, however a candy thermometer is a must, as is a stand mixer. You might be able to get away with a hand mixer, but it will take you a bit longer to mix and you will need a second set of hands. But I promise the little bit of work that goes into these marshmallows is totally worth it. I used vanilla bean paste from Rodelle to flavor my marshmallows. Vanilla bean paste packs a robust vanilla flavor to these marshmallows. I love the quality of Rodelle products and that their vanilla bean paste is all natural. You can buy vanilla bean paste at most grocery stores, craft stores that sell baking supplies (Hobby Lobby, Michaels, JoAnn’s) and baking supply stores. Or just use the same amount of vanilla extract. Having a stand mixer makes life so much easier! Here you will see the mixer in full speed after adding the hot […]

Spiced Rum Marshmallows

Kelly — Sat, 07 Jun 2025 15:37:30 +0000

Homemade marshmallows are made on the stovetop using just a few ingredients and these marshmallows include rum extract and spices. Homemade marshmallows full of rum flavor, you can just eat them on their own or add to your cocoa or make it into a s’more. These are easy to make….but it’s a sticky situation when making them. But so worth the stickiness! Okay, so after my fair warning of the stickiness (they are marshmallows folks), do no be intimidated by making these. If you are looking for regular vanilla marshmallows, try my homemade vanilla marshmallows recipe. PIN ME ↓

Peanut Butter Cookies

Kelly — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 19:24:42 +0000

Classic peanut butter cookies. Soft and full of peanut butter flavor, rolled in sugar and pressed down with that iconic fork criss-cross on top. Nothing fancy, nothing crazy….just good ‘ol peanut butter cookies. Peanut butter cookies seem to be a favorite of almost every man I know. Is it a guy thing?! I don’t know. I love this peanut butter cookie recipe because they bake up super SOFT, yet not under done or doughy in the middle. These cookies do not have any crunch to them…wait for that recipe because I will need to make those for my dad (who only likes SUPER crunchy cookies). So if you like super soft peanut butter cookies, then this recipe is what you want! These cookies are SUPER easy to make….so no excuses! And no dough chilling required either. Scoop standard sized cookie dough balls: And then drops those balls in sugar!! Use a fork to add the hash marks in each direction and then you are ready to bake! Fresh from the oven….so light and puffy! PIN ME ⬇️

Jerky Brands Jerky

Kelly — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 18:08:11 +0000

Whether you are going camping, on a road trip or just looking for a healthy and delicious snack, jerky is always my go-to. Seeing beef jerky reminds me of fun family trips (which always included beef jerky in our road trip snack bags), and also of my grandma. My grandparents used to own and operate a restaurant and bar in a small mountain town, with a little store area where they sold snacks. Whenever we were getting ready to leave, she would load us up with candy and the best beef jerky! So while I can no longer visit grandma for my beef jerky hookup, I can visit Jerky Brands instead! And beef jerky has come a LONG ways since my childhood…thanks to companies like Jerky Brands. Jerky Brands company was created because the founders were aching for a new jerky to try, and were frustrated at the lack of options at their local supermarket. They created JerkyBrands.com to help bring new innovative jerky styles and flavors to consumers across the globe. As jerky lovers, it was important to bring consumers options for the jerky they know and love, as well as new brands and styles of jerky they may […]
