Frozen S'more Bars

July 19, 2020 Amanda Plott

Look, it’s freakin’ hot out ya’ll. It’s so hot that even if I could make traditional s’mores, I don’t think I’d enjoy them quite the same. Eating hot food during the heat of the Texas summer just… isn’t the most novel idea. With that being said, I’ve had frozen hot chocolate before, so why not frozen s’mores?

These s’mores are every bit as delicious as traditional s’mores. That’s because they’re made with the same basic things, just with a few minor adjustments to be freezer fun and friendly…

Skinny S'more Bars

Summer time to me means it’s time for campfires. Yeah, even if it’s pushing triple digits here, that’s just what you do in the summer. You camp, make fires, swim, and cook s’mores. It’s not always easy access to a fire though. Surely there has to be another way, right? Right!

These Skinny S'more Bars are… well, I’d say the next best thing, but… honestly? I liked them just as much as traditional s’mores. Plus, they’re perfect for a group in need of s’more goodness, especially for a group of kiddos since these s’mores don’t require a fire…

Cookie Monster Cake

This cake isn’t your average cake. In fact, it’s one of the most decadent cakes I’ve ever eaten, much less made. Though there’s a few steps and ingredients to get through, I promise that this cake is worth every bit of it. Any time and effort put into this cake will melt away when you take your first bite of it. And being as I turned the ripe age of 35 this year, I thought I could use a little something extra on my special day.

This cake starts out using my recipe for ‘wacky cake’; meaning it’s made with no eggs, butter, or milk! The filling is a safe to eat edible version of chocolate chip cookie dough. I lightened both up by substituting most of the sugar for natural sweeteners (such as splenda, monk, etc.) Yep, even for the frosting!…

Milk & Cereal Cinnamon Rolls

In case you missed it, cereal milk is becoming a fairly popular thing. You know what I’m talking about, the milk that’s leftover in the bowl after enjoying cereal. It’s got little bits of cereal in it and is slightly sweetened and flavored by the cereal of choice. Yum…

When I decided on cinnamon rolls for breakfast, I looked through the pantry and saw some fruity cereal sitting there, waiting to be used. I knew exactly what to do. Milk and cereal cinnamon rolls!…

Cookies & Cream Cinnamon Rolls

These homemade cinnamon rolls are as a delicious take on combining two things I love. Cinnamon rolls and chocolate sandwich cookies! Now, I’ll be the first to admit that the cinnamon roll turning brown-brown wasn’t my initial plan. I thought with adding some of the crushed up cookie bits that the dough would end up flecked with cookies. Instead it just gave it a light brown tinge and a light chocolate taste.

In the end, I was happy with it for the flavor if nothing else…

Coffee Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Do you like coffee? Do you like soft chocolate chip cookies? You’ll love these Coffee Chocolate Chunk Cookies! Lightened up with a few simple swaps to make them a bit more guilt-free. These cookies are infused with coffee in two ways and loaded up with chocolate chunks. Making them great for snacking, dessert, or even enjoying with your morning cup of joe.

These Coffee Chocolate Chunk Cookies are soft chocolate chip cookies. It’s a light and fluffy cookie that’s more cake-like. Not much crisp. Not very dense. One of my favorite parts though? It’s a great excuse to eat cookies in the morning…
