Nut Caramels

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.

Molasses Chews

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.

Peanut Butter Fruit Squares

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.

Molasses Taffy

This was another fun and easy recipe to make.  The final product is smooth with a rich molasses flavor. Give it a try and see what you think!

Maple Parfait

When I think of a parfait my mind goes to layered yogurt, fruit, and granola. This recipe is completely different, no yogurt, fruit, or granola at all! Plus, it’s frozen! It’s easy to make and refreshing on a hot day. If you can’t find nut brittle, use a crushed-up toffee bar to sprinkle on top.

Individual Lemon Meringue Pies

Don’t want the hassle of cutting a piece of pie? Just make individual servings, and enjoy! These portions of pie are travel-friendly, and they taste better just because no one can tell how many pieces you’ve had. No more guilt!

Simple Maple Bread Pudding

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.
