For The Love of Food and Making Great Memories
I use to love caramels as a kid, but these are something I haven’t seen around much as an adult. When I came across this recipe I was excited to give it a try. I’ve never seen a nut caramel before but it sounded delicious. These are soft and chewy and packed full of caramel flavor with a nice crunch and added flavor from the nuts. The drizzled chocolate is just a great bonus that makes them even tastier and more elegant.
I loved taffy as a kid. The flavors are endless and they were a fun little treat! I’ve never thought about making taffy at home, but when I saw this recipe I had to give it a try. Molasses wouldn’t usually be my first pick for something like this, I’m a sucker for sweets, but these are quite tasty and are a nice change from the typical sweet treats.
If you’re looking for something that’s a little healthier than the average dessert, this is a great recipe for that. These are packed full of peanut butter, cranberries, raisins, and almonds. This is a great recipe to whip up anytime for a quick snack or to make ahead. I wrapped up half the batch and froze it for later.
I love a good bread pudding. As a kid, I remember baking bread pudding with my grandfather and it was always a fun and tasty experience. This maple bread pudding doesn’t disappoint. The aroma from the maple syrup and walnuts just filled my house and we couldn’t wait to try it! This is a very moist and fluffy bread pudding with a perfect amount of maple and walnut flavor that pair so well together. This is a recipe that I will keep handy for future use.
When I first started making this cake I had no idea how sweet it would be. I know that maple syrup, in general, is pretty sweet, but this is a very non-sweet, moist, and spongy cake. The whipped cream and berries are a perfect addition to go alongside the cake. This is something that I could eat as a snack or even breakfast.
I’ve never thought of having a maple pudding before, but this recipe did not disappoint. The end result is a lightly flavored maple pudding that is very creamy and has a perfectly smooth consistency. The walnuts and whipped cream are just an added bonus that makes it that much better!
I love cheesecake and there is nothing better than a quick no-bake recipe. The worst part is waiting for the cheesecake and glaze to firm up enough to eat it! This cheesecake has all your favorite parts. The graham cracker crust, the yummy cheesecake filling, and a fresh and flavorful strawberry glaze. This glaze is a big hit with my family and friends that I use on all of my baked and no-bake cheesecakes.
This is a really yummy recipe for an old-fashioned sugar cookie. These are really easy to whip up and bake, but unlike today’s sugar cookies they are not made to roll out. The dough has a lot of moisture and gets very sticky thanks to the sweetened condensed milk. You want to keep the dough as cold as possible before baking to help with that! I really enjoy this recipe because it’s meant to be all about the cookie. You could decorate them with some buttercream or royal icing if you wanted, but it’s not necessary. These cookies are great …
Angel food cake is one of my favorites and this recipe doesn’t disappoint! I thought this was a fun spin to the regular way I’ve seen them made in the past, and who doesn’t like strawberries and cream? This is such a nice light and airy dessert that’s not very sweet. This recipe will make a 10-inch angel food cake, but I decided to try making the cake in my instant pot so I have also included the instructions on how to do that.
Semifreddo is a lot like ice cream, but much easier to make. This is a nice sweet treat that my kids love helping me whip up when we have a sweet tooth and the flavor options are endless! This recipe was inspired by a maple mousse recipe I was given and decided to spruce up a bit. Adding some semi-sweet chocolate bits or even dipping pieces of bacon in chocolate before adding them would be a great way to change this particular one up!
