Big, chewy Heath Bar cookies are the best cross between a chocolate chip cookie and the toffee-based candy bar.

Are you a fan of toffee? I know, it kind of makes me think of an English grandmother, but it’s so good.

Toffee is basically just caramelized sugar and butter, and it is sooooo good. I mean, what’s not to like about that combo? 

And when you combine it with chocolate, it gets even better. 

My love of toffee was the inspiration for these Heath Bar cookies. They’re the very best combination of my favorite chewy chocolate chip cookies and buttery toffee. They might just become your new way to enjoy chocolate chip cookies!

Creamy peanut butter dip is the perfect accompaniment to fresh fruit, graham crackers, pretzels, and more. Serve this easy dip at your next party and watch it disappear in a snap!

Sweet dips are one of my favorite party desserts. Whether it’s a cookout, movie night, game night, or book club, I’m yet to see a group that can say no to a bowl of fruit dip and a spread of fun dippers.

This peanut butter fruit dip is my latest sweet dip and it might be one of my favorites. It’s got the rich flavor of peanut butter with a light, creamy texture that pairs great with everything from fruit to pretzels and cookies.

And a bonus? It’s super fast and easy to make, so you can prep it ahead of time and grab it on your way out the door.

Chewy, easy sugar cookies come together in a snap with zero chilling, rolling out, or cutting required. Make these cookies extra colorful and fun by adding nonpareil sprinkles or sandwiching them with buttercream frosting.

I’m a self-professed sugar cookie connoisseur. I’ll take ’em frosted, cut-out, rolled in sugar, soft, chewy, crispy, or straight out of the plastic container from the bakery section at Walmart.

What I’m saying is that I’m fairly obsessed with sugar cookies and I’m honestly not very picky about them.

Wait, maybe that makes me less of a connoisseur and more of a human sugar cookie garbage disposal. Whatevs.

While I do appreciate a beautiful sugar cookie complete with royal icing, I’m more of a buttercream type of girl. And I’m impatient. It’s why I love no-chill sugar cookies when I do want to make cut-outs.

And I’m definitely not fancy, so these easy sugar cookies are totally my thing. They come together in less than 10 minutes with everyday ingredients that I’m betting you have in your fridge and pantry right now.

Kids and adults alike will love these classic peanut butter cup cookies. Miniature Reese’s cups are nestled into peanut butter cookies for an easy recipe that will be a hit all year long.

There are a handful of cookies, like spritz cookies and thumbprint cookies, that are holiday classics. But somehow they get forgotten about the rest of the year.

This year, I think we should be better about treating ourselves to some of those classic “Christmas” cookies throughout the year.

And I think we should start with these peanut butter cup cookies. After all, there’s no reason not to enjoy them in the middle of February or April or September!

For the richest, creamiest, most decadent hot chocolate, turn to your slow cooker! This crockpot hot chocolate is easy to make, perfect for parties, and satisfies even the biggest chocolate cravings.

Cold weather means warm drinks for me. Sure, I still love an iced shaken espresso even in the winter, but nothing makes me feel warm and cozy quite like a warm beverage.

And they’re a must for any winter or holiday party! Whether it’s a pot of spiced apple cider or hot chocolate, I think a warm beverage station is one of the best ways to make your guests feel welcome.

This crockpot hot chocolate is one you have to try for your next party. It’s rich and creamy, perfectly chocolatey, and easy to make and keep warm for any gathering.

This rich, tangy dip is packed with all of the flavors of your favorite candy bar. Serve Snickers dip at your next party with pretzels, fruit, or graham crackers for a fun and easy dessert.

Do you ever eat something at a party and know that you immediately need to make it at home?

That’s what happened with this Snickers dip. I tried some at a Halloween party back in October and knew I had to come up with my own recipe for it right away.

If you’re looking for a super easy dessert to take to your office party or serve for game day, this is the one. It comes together in about 10 minutes and is amazing when served with salty pretzels or tart apple slices.

Peanut butter cup rice krispie treats are chewy, crunchy, and loaded with that classic chocolate-and-peanut-butter combination.

Rice krispie treats are so much fun to make, especially with kids. Whether it’s a batch of classic rice krispie treats, chocolate rice krispie treats, or brown butter rice krispie treats, they’re a treat that kids love to make and kids and adults both love to eat.

With Halloween coming up, I wanted to have some fun and play around with a decadent chocolate version of this crowd favorite. I saw someone on TikTok use peanut butter Cap’n Crunch to make cereal treats recently and knew what I needed to do.

So here are peanut butter rice krispie treats! They’ve got two kinds of cereal and tons of peanut butter and chocolate for a treat that everyone will love.

With Halloween coming up, I know I can’t be the only one thinking about candy and chocolate.

Don’t worry, I’m still totally into fall flavors like pumpkin, apple, and maple. But it’s good to think about chocolate every once in a while, ok?

This butterfinger poke cake is a super decadent dessert that is delicious any time, but is especially great for Halloween parties. Grab a bag of fun-size Butterfingers and whip up this cake the night before your party.

Or maybe you end up with a bag of Butterfingers left over after Halloween – consider this the recipe to use them up!

Use up some of that leftover Halloween candy with these Snickers brownies! Super fudgy brownies filled with pieces of fun-sized Snickers bars make for a perfectly decadent treat.

We’ve officially entered one of the seasons when there is always candy in the house.

With a school-aged kiddo, Halloween is one of the times of year when she comes home with candy for what feels like a week straight. And that’s without trick-or-treating!

I don’t mind having candy in the house, but at some point it stops feeling special and we all sort of forget about it. Which means that we still have pieces of Halloween candy left over by the time Valentine’s Day rolls around and we’re doing it all over again.

So I like to try to get ahead of things and line up a couple of recipes I can make that use up leftover Halloween candy. We still get to enjoy the candy, but in a way that leaves less of it sitting around for 4 months.

This year, I’m crossing my fingers for some extra Snickers bars so I can whip up a batch of these Snickers brownies!

Brown butter pumpkin bread is rich and flavorful, full of sweet pumpkin, toasted pecans, and nutty browned butter. This moist bread is delicious for breakfast or an afternoon snack alongside a cup of your favorite coffee or tea.

There are a handful of recipes that I make every single fall without fail.

My nana’s pumpkin crunch cake, my pumpkin cheesecake, and my pumpkin bread (and sometimes pumpkin chocolate chip bread) are all on that list. 

Pumpkin bread is especially high on the list and is always a crowd favorite, whether I make it for my family to snack on during the week or take a loaf in for Elle’s teachers as a special treat.

This year, I thought it would be fun to combine two of my favorite recipes – my classic pumpkin bread and Dominique Ansel’s banana bread – into one epic brown butter pumpkin bread.

The result is a super rich, buttery bread with pumpkin and fall spices accented by the nuttiness of the brown butter. It’s incredible when spread with butter (or maple butter!) or even some cream cheese for a decadent breakfast or afternoon snack.

This is a recipe that is definitely going on the annual fall recipe list.
