This Dessert Blew My Mind!

Here’s a great way to make a delightful and fun dessert for your holiday parties! Everyone loves s’mores, right? But if you happen to be living in a place where the winter weather is not exactly very inviting, you may not feel like going out and making a fire just to enjoy the campfire treats. No need to worry, this recipe will give you that delish flavor without making you freeze to death!

This s’mores pizza roll-up from Pillsbury is a dessert from my dreams! It’s easy to make (you can prepare it in ten minutes) and it’s filled with that ooey-gooey marshmallow stuff. You only need seven ingredients for these, and you’ll get six servings out of this recipe. The perfect end to a lovely family dinner!

The only problem is, you’re probably going to have to make a double batch because everyone is going to want seconds! This stuff is addictive – you know, just like the traditional s’mores are. And if you really want to take this to the next level, you can add some butterscotch chips in there, too. Ridiculously good!

I find dessert balls a creative way to present your favorite sugar rush.

Some balls, for example, are cute and handy. Those little balls of donuts, for example, the miniature ones that taste the same as the big ones—they’re easier to eat. There’s a less chance for your face to be covered with a glaze or whatever is the frosting of the donut you’re eating at the moment. There are also those cake pops, which are the miniature version of cakes. They taste the same, but there’s lesser chance for you to mess up your clothes or to overindulge. Then there are those graham balls; the ones made from graham crackers and butter. They’re in bite-size pieces that you can just pop into your mouths.

Then there are these big, mysterious ones. The first time I ever encountered a chocolate cheese ball was at a children’s sleepover. My brother’s wife served the kids this huge ball of chocolate-chip covered thing surrounded by graham crackers.

I watched as they devoured the huge ball of dessert using the graham crackers as spoons. Poor cheese ball. It was gone in less than ten minutes. My sister-in-law gave me the recipe and I tried making it at home. I only added nuts to the original recipe because I love nuts. It turns out that adding nuts isn’t as uncommon as I thought.

I Want To Skip Lunch And Just Eat This For The Next Three Days

Chocolate cake has always been my go-to dessert. When I’m craving chocolate, nothing hits the spot quite like a rich chocolate cake does. Usually, I’ll pour myself a tall glass of ice cold milk, place my slice of dessert on a pretty plate, and prepare to indulge. Mmmm, so good! Rich, decadent chocolate cake tastes amazing no matter the time of day, week, or year.

It doesn’t have to be your birthday in order to bake up a chocolate cake. Feel free to reward yourself for all the hard work you do on a daily basis. You’re worth a little slice of heaven from time to time! If you make this cake to share, you’ll be known as the “Baking Queen” of the neighborhood. Now, who doesn’t want a title like that?

This chocolate cherry cake from My Yellow Farmhouse, has quickly become one of my favorites. It is super easy to make, and it turns out so amazing you always wish you had made a double batch!

If This Is A Dream, I Don’t Ever Want To Wake Up!

I know what I’m making for my family and friends for Christmas! Over the years my loved ones have learned to expect homemade gifts from me. Nothing too fancy or over the top – I just think it’s a fun way of showing them I think and care about them. I’ve made breads, cakes and candy, but this year I’m going to go with these absolutely divine magic bars!

I just had to make a test batch – not that I wanted to eat these, I just thought I’d see if they were good enough for presents… Yeah right! I gobbled up half the batch before I even told my family I was making these, haha!

These magic bars from Veganbaking.net turned out so delicious, I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to make these, after all. I might end up eating all of them myself, and then feeling bad about giving them store-bought gifts instead! I think I need to ask my husband to take these out of my sight as soon as they’re ready!

Cookies are the best treats to enjoy.  They are soft and chewy and perfect to take on the go.  My neighbor Anne loves to prepare different cookies for friends and family.

My neighbor Anne loves to prepare different cookies for friends and family.  Since I am her neighbor, I get the best part of that deal because I get to sample them all and keep the leftovers.  She has made so many different varieties, I am pretty sure I have tried the majority of cookie recipes out on Pinterest. The other day, Anne burst through my back door with a batch of cookies that I had never tried.  She had put together like three different batches of batter that she had leftover and made the best mash-up of a cookie that I have ever tried in my life!

These Little Pockets Of Heavenly Flavor Will Make You Do Backflips

If I had to choose between my husband and Nutella, I would choose — well, let’s just say I’m happy I don’t have to. Haha! I know I’m not the only person in the world who could have this silky smooth paste for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I’m not saying I have, but I definitely could! I recently discovered a new way of enjoying this favorite ingredient of mine. Puff pastry pockets!

These are so simple you could probably make them with your eyes closed, and one arm tied behind your back! I had my kids help me out in the kitchen when I was making these, and we ended up making a double batch. Sorry, not sorry.

Basically I ended up having them make these while I was scooping the remaining Nutella from the jar, right into my mouth. They didn’t even seem to notice; they were having way too much fun making these little triangles of yumminess!

You could drizzle these with melted chocolate but we just ended up adding a little extra almond on top. They turned out super scrumptious!

Quick Tip: In a hurry? These puff pastry pockets taste amazing even without the chocolate drizzle on top.

It has never been this easy to make a delish dessert!

I have always made this peanut and chocolate treat during the holidays, just like my mom did. It’s extremely easy to make and popular with everyone.

When you’re craving something sweet and salty nothing does the trick like this. I’ve even made it, cut it in very small cubes and put it in paper bags, then snuck it into the movie theater – no lie! It’s the absolute best and if you dump it in your popcorn bucket you’ll likely pass out from happiness, and then you may miss the movie so snack carefully my friends! While that was a bit overboard it’s true how addictive and satisfying this “krispy” treat is!

You’ll only need a handful of ingredients for this yummy dessert! Your friends and family will dig in and be more than impressed. Everyone thinks that candies are so difficult to make but truthfully they are not. Give it a try! It’ll be your go to snack forever.

This is the perfect thing to bring to a potluck or a picnic. While these are small bites, they pack plenty of energy so they are great for those moments when you need to rush out of the house, feeling hungry. Just grab a couple of these with you and you’re good to go!
