Nanaimo Bars

I first heard (and tasted!) a Nanaimo bar while in Canada, which is fitting since that is where they originated. This no-bake bar is named after the city of Nanaimo, British Columbia. They’re super rich and delicious! I’ve actually made them once before, but I couldn’t remember the recipe I used so I found this…

Lemon Shortbread Squares

Every once in a while I get into a big lemon kick and get in the mood to have something like lemon squares. I made those a few years ago so I decided to try a new recipe this time. Similar to the other recipe I used the crust is very simple to make and…

Dulce De Leche Revel Bars

We grew up eating Chocolate Revel Bars and I thought I had made them here before but apparently not. I happened to see these Dulce de Leche Revel Bars and thought they’d be a fun spin on what we’ve had before. This is a really easy recipe and is great if you want to throw…

Granola Bars

Happy National Granola Bar Day! We’ve been making these granola bars for years and we really love them because they’re nice and flavorful. They’re easy too, which is great! Despite making these many times before, this is the first time we’ve used coconut. This is mainly because we usually don’t love coconut flakes, but I’ve…

S’mores Brownies

Nothing feels more like Fall than a delicious s’more! When I saw this recipe for S’mores Brownies I thought it would be a fun mash-up. I’ll go ahead and say it is a bit messy. The recipe starts off pretty easy with the graham cracker crumble. It’s simple to throw together and also tasted pretty…

Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal Bar

I love cinnamon toast crunch and saw this on Instagram and thought I’d use what I had left to make these cereal bars. This definitely is an easy recipe as you basically just heat the butter and marshmallows over heat, add vanilla, then pour that over the cereal. I kind of eyed the marshmallows and…

S’mores Bar
I apparently missed National S’mores Day (Aug 10) but saw these on Instagram and saved it to make later. Just as a head’s up, this recipe does take a good bit of time so keep that in mind. I’d also recommend reading over the full instructions with photos as I found it helpful during the…

Lemon Bars
We bought lemons at Costco recently which means I have lemons coming out my ears. In an effort to use some of them before they went bad I decided it was a good time to try making lemon bars. I’ve never really loved Lemon Meringue Pie because I feel like it’s too much lemon without…

Best Homemade Brownies

Tuesday we had a brownie bake-off at work so I decided to take these recipes I recently discovered. My best friend’s husband made these brownies when I visited and they were so good I had to ask for the recipe. I love brownies, but I feel like a lot of recipes end up overly sweet…

Hello Dolly Cookies
A co-worker recently mentioned they always make Hello Dolly Cookies during Christmas using a recipe from their mom. I had never heard of those before and figured I’d give it a try since they look pretty delicious. I’m not a huge fan of coconut, but in moderation it’s okay; especially if there’s lot’s of chocolate…
