Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Maple Brown Butter Frosting and Hazelnut Caramel Crunch are soft and chewy with flavor notes of nuts, caramel, and maple.
On the first day of the New Year it’s probably more customary to share a healthy new year’s resolution type of recipe. I’m breaking all the rules with these whoopie pies! But they might just be so wrong they’re right.…
Soft and Chewy Peanut Butter Salted Caramels are a beautiful balance of sweet caramel and flaky sea salt, with deep notes of peanut butter. We all have our favorite types of candy; that one thing we can’t resist when we see it at the store. Peanut butter cups, cherry cordials, butter toffee, fudge, to name just a few. For me, when I walk by a candy shop and smell fresh-made caramel, it takes every ounce of willpower to resist. That aroma calls me like a siren....
Thank you to Back to Nature for sponsoring this post. I am happy for the opportunity to share brands that I believe in with my readers, and I hope you enjoy my recipe. As always, opinions stated are my own. Easy Sugar-Free Turtle Cheesecake Dip pairs caramel flavor, pecans, and chocolate in a satisfying cheesecake-like treat. Confession time. It’s hard for me to fully enjoy something like a slice of yellow cake heavy-laden with a thick layer of vanilla bean buttercream (but yuuuum, vanilla bean buttercream). Or a hot fudge sundae with ice cream that’s just starting to melt because of the rich and decadent […]...
So, Chicago Mix. You sweet, salty, sultry little vixen, you. I think you might very well be the one and only trashy snack from the junk food aisle that tempts me. But you tempt me so badly I avoid that aisle like the plague....
These are definitely grown-up cupcakes with a complex flavor....
Armed with a spoon in the kitchen can be a dangerous thing. Heading over to the pantry, there are things like peanut butter and coconut-vanilla syrup. And the fridge can be even more of a hot zone, housing spoon-able treats like pudding, custard, mousse, or jam. Or yogurt treats. And caramel. Always rich caramel, with its beautiful flavor notes....
I know you’re going to see this caramel and think I’m a liar. You’ll think it was made with naughty things heavy cream, white sugar, and bricks of butter....
Ladies, this treat is for you. Because I know that some afternoons just require a little sweet treat to perk things up. (And afternoon coffee needs a partner, right? ;) ) On one such afternoon when I was brewing up a pot of French press, I decided to take a peek into my pantry to see what I could nibble on along with my coffee. As soon as I opened the door, the overwhelming smell of my favorite caramel extract wafted out. Sadly, it had spilled (no idea how that happened!) but at least it made the entire pantry smell like heaven. And don’t worry, […]...
This small batch of Caramel-Vanilla Cupcakes yields cupcakes that are deliciously moist and tender…and vegan! If you have a small dinner party and want a great dessert that comes together easily, these are perfect. So, what are you making for dessert tonight? Maybe something like that Caramel Apple Cake I saw on your blog a while ago?, a friend excitedly asked me around 2 o’clock one afternoon. I thought we’d forgo dessert this time, you know, since everyone is trying to eat healthy…, I trailed off. Dead silence from my friend. I guess “eating healthy” doesn’t mean skipping dessert, even for a regular weeknight meal among close […]...
I can be such a party pooper when it comes to surprises. Every year before his birthday, I spend weeks searching for the perfect gift for Mike, which I buy in secret and then stash away. This is all wasted energy really, since I always, always tell him what it is before his birthday (really, it’s sort-of a windfall for him). At Christmas I’m no better. I’ve been known to bribe my sister with Tim Hortons coffee (her favorite) and homemade muffins for information on gifts. I can’t help it, lol…the anticipation is too much for me!...
