I Call These The 3 Layers Of Happiness

I’ve got a real treat for you today! I stumbled upon a blog called Positively Splendid, and found these super delicious looking dessert bars that Amy had made. I could almost taste them just by looking at that beautiful picture! Of course, I couldn’t wait until the next special occasion to make these… I had to get the ingredients that same day and whip up a batch immediately!

These pecan cheesecake squares are made of three layers, all equally delicious. I would happily eat any of these layers on their own if that was possible! But since they are combined so perfectly in Amy’s recipe, I do not mind enjoying them all in one bite.

I intend to make these over the holidays; it’s going to be crowded at our house so I need a dessert that is easy to double, or even triple, and also super simple to serve. Not to mention, absolutely scrumptious! I would never want to compromise on flavor and with this recipe, you certainly don’t need to.

This Old Recipe Is Yummier Than A Dozen New Ones Combined!

What is it about old and traditional recipes that make them always turn out so delicious? I mean, we’re still using the same ingredients for baking these days, right? But somehow it always feels like any recipe that goes way back, decades even, always tastes best. And I’m not just talking about my grandmother’s recipes – just the fact that she was my grandmother might make those desserts even more delightful to me.

This is one of those cakes that is very traditional; nothing fancy, nothing complicated, just an incredibly delicious cake. Oh, and caramel. Ok I’ll have to admit – that caramel is to die for and it is totally fancy!! If you really want to make an impression, you’ll serve a slice of this with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream – trust me, you won’t regret it!

But the ingredient list doesn’t hold any massive surprises. And still, you’re going to end up with a cake that’ll blow your hair back, the minute you sink your teeth into it. Don’t believe me? Well, go right ahead and give it a try yourself!

Quick Tip: If you’d like to freeze this cake for later, don’t add the caramel. Instead, add it when you’re about to serve the cake.

Can You Guess What Takes This Fudge To A Whole New Level Of Amazing?

I can’t think of anything more delightful than a big chunk of chocolate fudge. Wait – I take that back! I can think of something even better, and that’s a big chunk of this chocolate caramel fudge with and ingredient that totally amps up the flavor. I bet you’re wondering what that ingredient is, huh?

It’s Irish cream liqueur! No, this fudge won’t make you tipsy, unless you pour yourself a glass of this creamy nectar while you’re making these! I would recommend sticking to the fudge, though, because it’s so delicious it’ll make your head spin on its own.

There’s no need to fret – making fudge at home isn’t as difficult as you may think. A candy thermometer will be helpful in determining how long you should cook the fudge, to get that perfect, thick and soft consistency. Trust me, when you sink your teeth into these, it’s going to be almost impossible to stop until they’re all gone!

Sprinkle some flaky sea salt on top and you’ll get an irresistible combination of salty and sweet goodness. I can’t wait to make these again!

Quick Tip: You can use different kinds of chocolate – you may want to adjust the amount of sugar if using a sweeter kind.

Worth Every Extra Napkin You’ll Use Along The Way

When it comes to recipes, I know I can always trust the Amish-inspired ones. Whenever a recipe says “Amish”, it’s going to be delicious – whether it’s a dessert or a casserole, it doesn’t really matter! I have a stash of favorite recipes (all of them approved by my family) and I think of a hundred recipes probably 50% are based on an original Amish recipe. What can I say – they’re just really delicious recipes and I’m always eager to find even more!

I don’t think I know a single person who doesn’t like Amish cinnamon rolls. Yum! They were my favorite Sunday breakfast – until I tried this recipe. These sticky buns are so tasty that I would rather eat them all by myself than share with anyone!

I know that’s a very selfish thing to say but I’m just being honest here. Once you sink your teeth into these, you’ll know exactly what I mean! Of course you could always make a double batch (one for you, one for sharing) or just make these when no-one else is home…

But if you do decide to share, I’m sure your family and friends will be very happy about it!

Your Kids Are Going To LOVE These

I must have been living in a bubble, so to speak, because I had never heard of halfmoon cookies before. Such a shame!

I have spent all these years without them when I could have enjoyed these wonderful black and white treats all along! Well, I intend to take back what I’ve been missing out on. Cookies, cookies everywhere!

It’s not a difficult recipe at all but you do need a little bit of patience with the icing part. Mainly because you’re going to want to eat them straight out of the oven… Hold your horses – while these are yummy even without the icing, they’ll be extra delicious once they’re all pretty and frosted! This recipe will give you plenty of these lovely treats but, if you’re like me, you’re going to want more. And more. So just do yourself a favor and bake a double batch!

Quick Tip: No-one said you absolutely need to make these black and white… add some food coloring to make them black and pink! Or green!
