A little peanut butter in your favorite coconut cookie is a very good thing! This post may contain affiliate links. Peanut butter and coconut together make me think of old-fashioned candies. Like a Zagnut candy bar! Have you ever had one of those? It’s like a Butterfinger but with a coconutty coating. So good. But […]
Peanut Butter Caramel Thumbprint Cookies
A classic peanut butter cookie with a sweet pool of caramel in the middle! I’ve spent a lot of time in the last few weeks researching and thinking up peanut butter recipes! Did you know that there is a National Peanut Butter Lover’s Day in March? It’s true! With a holiday like that I realized […]
Chocolate, Granola & Peanut Butter Bites
Chewy, chocolaty bites loaded with granola, raisins and an undercurrent of peanut butter. This recipe was born of using stuff up. The first item I had to start using up is a granola cereal that our boy saw at Costco and thought he would love for breakfast. Because this was purchased from Costco it was […]
Peanut Butter Balls
Holy Peanut Butter Balls, Batman: these sweet, chocolate-covered treats are delectable! My sister and I have fond memories of peanut butter balls making an appearance at the start of every Christmas season. So to me, they are a holiday treat even though the ingredients are on hand year-round. At our grandparent’s house, a tall glass […]
Spicy Dark Chocolate Bark with Almonds and Currants
Smooth, dark chocolate holds tender currants, almonds, and a spicy little kick! You will want it all for yourself, but your family may be on to you! It’s a challenge to hide chocolate in this house.

Spicy Gingersnaps
Gingersnaps are sweet, spicy, and deliciously welcome at any time of the year. Gingersnaps do of course hold extra appeal during the fall and during holiday seasons, when one anxiously anticipates treats filled with cinnamon, clove, and ginger! (At least, that’s how I feel… that’s how everyone feels, right?) I included these treats in my first […]
Gingersnap Rolled Chocolate Truffles
This is another one of those miraculous recipes borne of the luck of having things on hand and sudden inspiration. On hand in this case was half a box of gingersnap cookies and most of a bag of dark chocolate chips. While trying to think of a simple, sumptuous dessert to make for New Year’s […]
Black Widow Chocolate-Dipped Cookies
Continuing my homage to Avengers movies and characters most recently seen in Avengers: Infinity War, I present this sweet treat. Black Widow, aka Natasha Romanoff played by Scarlett Johansson, is the badass Russian assassin, spy, S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, and the first female member of the Avengers. (In the movie universe, that is. My husband and son tell […]
Spicy Chocolate Brownies En Fuego
Spicy cayenne pepper in the cream cheese layer of these brownies provides a fiery contrast to the sweetness throughout.

Cranberry Nutella Sandwich Cookies
I’ve been playing with several cranberry recipes this holiday season, but this one is my favorite so far! I love to pick up several bags of cranberries and stash them in the freezer, to have on hand for cranberry sauce, Cranberry Eggnog Muffins, and now for these tender sandwich cookies. There is something so delicious […]
