Yep. You read that right: Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Blondies. I also like to call these Koopa Troopa Blondies. Why is that? Because these blondies were made with my favorite coffee shop in mind: The Wormhole–an amazing place full of ’80s nostalgia (so much Winona Ryder, including a Heathers poster), floppy disks, the original Nintendo …
Okay. Okay okay okay. I know I said that I was done with the cookie project after last year, but I can’t just abandon cookies completely! They’re usually pretty quick to throw together (unless you’re making my Snickers Cookies or Coffee, Sage, and Maple Millionaire’s Shortbread–those both take a bit of prep but are totally …
This recipe has me All Shook Up. And you know what? That’s All Right. I can guarantee that, pretty soon, this recipe will be Stuck on You as well. All right, all right. Done with the Elvis puns for now. Let’s get down to business. This puppy chow is addictive. Now, that’s not hard to believe when you take into account how …
I feel like the idea of Monster Cookies has become so familiar that there should be a great story out there to explain just how they got their name. I know they seem to take their inspiration from the popular trail mix made with peanuts, M&Ms, and raisins–the kind labelled “Monster” on the shelves at …
First, there were the Fluffernutter Cookies. Now, there are these Buckwheat Peanut Butter and Banana Shortbread Cookies. Apparently I just like to throw the flavors of my favorite peanut butter-based sandwiches into cookie form. I just can’t help it. Where the Fluffernutter Cookies were heavily inspired by a nostalgia-inciting sandwich, these take after one of …
Do you ever have foods that bring about certain memories? Maybe it’s that apple pie your mom makes a day or two after apple picking in the fall, that chocolate cake you eat every year for your birthday, or even that bag of Cheetos or mediocre pizza you share with a friend after a night …
This might be one of my more involved cookie recipes, but it may also be one of the best things I have ever baked. Filled with the flavor of peanut butter nougat (recipe linked below), these taste exactly like a Snickers bar & it’s just about impossible to keep your hands off of them! When …
Sometimes, the simplest things are the best things out there. For example, my favorite type of chocolate is a nice square of anything above 60% dark with salt added to it. When added to something sweet, salt actually helps accentuate the sweetness; it does it with a depth that simply adding more sugar can never …
Happy Mother’s Day to all of you moms out there! I hope your kids are treating you right today and showing you the appreciation you deserve. My mom has been forced to eat these cookies all week–which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, except for the fact that I somehow forgot the peanut butter the first …
Peanut butter and Nutella sandwiches used to be a staple of my school lunches when I was a kid. It wasn’t until I got to college that I realized basically nobody else knew about it! I remember one of my friends coming back from a semester in London sophomore year so excited about her discovery …
