Dustin's been asking me to make him pecan pie since right after Thanksgiving last year. 10 months later I finally gave in to his wish. Sort of. I didn't want to make a plain pecan pie, so instead I made something I randomly stumbled upon on Pinch of Yum— salted maple pecan pie bars. These sounded unique enough to be exciting, but still...

Now that we are solidly into the month October, I don't feel so bad completely obsessing over pumpkin in practically every dessert recipe I make. I really wanted to make pumpkin cheesecake brownies, but I have been eating A LOT of dessert lately (as you might have been able to tell if you've been reading) and wanted to make a somewhat healthy...

The Nutella flavor is subtle, but definitely present in these ultra chewy, soft and fudgy brownies with perfect crunchy tops. I did some searching for a Nutella brownie recipe that was more than just mixing Nutella, eggs, and flour, although I'm sure that would make a delicious treat. I, however, wanted something a little more substantial than...

Originally a recipe from Cooking Light, these brownies are rich, chocolatey with the slightest hint of bourbon, and they aren't that bad for you (compared to a regular brownie that is), and they also contain bourbon like yesterday's recipe. Even if you don't like bourbon, you can still enjoy these brownies because the bourbon flavor is pretty...

Intrigued by the title? So was I by this cake when I saw this sorta wacky sounding cake on How Sweet It Is. This cake (with buttermilk substituted for regular milk) seemed like it would be the perfect break from my GRE studying. I put down my books, preheated the oven and got to frying some bacon! The incredible part of this cake is using bacon...

I seriously cannot believe this recipe came from Cooking Light, because oh my god, one tiny little square of this bar feels sinfully indulgent. The butterscotch filling, simply made with butterscotch chips and fat-free sweetened condensed milk is so rich and creamy, you'd never guess you were eating a lighter version. And the oat crust is a...

How do you top brown butter chocolate chip cookies? Don't bake them and place them atop a brownie. I think I have died and gone to heaven. These may not look like anything special, but believe me they are. These chocolate chip cookie dough brownies don't need ganache or extra chocolate on top to make them taste better like so many variations...

The cookie and cream cheesecake bars were a big hit here in our apartment. Oreos have to be one of my favorite flavors to add to cheesecake. Dustin said it might have been the best cheesecake he's had and that it was definitely better than the Oreo cheesecake we used to eat at the Chocolate Bar in Houston (which is an enormous compliment). We...

Try saying that five times fast! I love the alliteration, but that's probably just the English nerd in me. These blondies are inspired by a dessert that Dustin's Bubbe used to make him when he was a kid. We've made it before using a chocolate chip cookie mix, baked into bars with butterscotch chips folded in. I wanted to make this treat again...

Given the abundance of apples in our home, it's only natural I spend my baking time making delicious apple treats. Peanut butter is one of the most amazingly delicious and versatile foods in our pantry (which is actually just an overflowing cabinet). I could literally eat it at every meal and snack, sweet or savory. I especially enjoy when...
