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!

So Yummy, You Won’t Know What Hit You

This is one of my favorite recipes for those moments when I need to come up with an easy dessert for a crowd! Not only are these lemon coconut bars super inexpensive and quick to make, they’re also on my Top 3 list of all-time best dessert bars. Trust me; it’s not easy to get on that list! But I guess by the time I was having my fourth piece, it was decided…

The first time I made these I was a little worried. The mixture for the crust looks a bit funny, kind of dry and crumbly, but don’t let that scare you! When you finish it off with the remaining ingredients and sprinkle that delicious coconut on top, you’ll soon see how wonderfully moist and scrumptious these are.

These make the perfect after dinner treat, served as they are or maybe with some ice cream or caramel sauce! I also love having these with my morning coffee, and that’s why I always hide a couple of pieces in the freezer, where the rest of my family won’t find them…

Have you ever thought; “I wish there was a dessert I could throw together in two minutes!” I know I have – that’s why I was so excited when I came across this recipe. I can’t believe I hadn’t thought of something so simple and delicious before! It makes complete sense now that I’ve tried it – duh! Of course it does! How could anything go wrong with ingredients such as condensed milk, pie filling and mini marshmallows! I’m telling you, it can’t!

That lovely color in the picture comes from the cherry pie filling, but if you’re not a fan of cherry – no problem! You can simply choose your favorite pie filling for this one, or even use homemade, if you want to make things from scratch.

For me, this recipe is perfect because it’s quick and easy, and most of the time I have all the ingredients at hand. I’ve made this several times when I’ve received that surprise phone call; “We’re in town and we’ll be at your house in an hour!”

No Worries! There’s Still Time To Make This!

Hi everyone! Today I’ve been in such a hurry it made me think of quick and easy dessert recipes! I do love a good, old-fashioned cake that took hours to make, frost and decorate – I would just rather not make one myself right now. But if you happen to be serving one today of all days, feel free to invite me over!

For the rest of you, I have great news. There’s still time to make a delicious dessert for dinner tonight! You’ll only need a few minutes to prepare it (I am not kidding) and it’ll be so good no-one will ever know you just literally threw it together! I am talking about a nice, gooey dump cake – you know, the kind that looks like the one your grandmother used to make back when you were just a kid. It was one of my favorite desserts! Combined with a dollop of whipped cream or perhaps even a scoop of ice cream, this recipe is going to be hard to beat!
