The Ultimate Peanut Butter Chocolate Rice Krispie Treats

Since I made Ultimate Rice Krispie Treats back in February, I have probably made them half a dozen more times.  That’s a lot for me.  Krispie Treats were a rarity in my life before I found that recipe.  I thought of them as just okay.  Now they are bomb.com.

Easy Sopapilla Cheesecake

My 35 year old self was recently lured onto SnapChat by my girlfriends who also use it, despite the fact that they are not, in fact, in middle school (although my “Stories” feed from them is full of silliness.)

Copycat Fisher Fair Scones

Oh, Fisher Fair scones, I love to enjoy your warm, gooey, butter and jam goodness at the fair every year, but I just can’t stomach paying $4.99 for a box of  your scone mix when I know it is made out of ingredients I already have in my house.

Marble Cake

I’ve never attempted a marble cake before, but it has always looked good to me.  So when I saw a recipe from Sally’s Baking Addiction where she actually made like 2 dozen cakes trying to find the very best marble cake recipe ever I was totally sold and had to try it.
