School lunches probably don’t produce many memories of stunning culinary experiences, but there are a few sparking gems from the typical 80’s and 90’s ish school cafeteria menus, and those little squares of soft fudge-topped brownies in my plastic segmented lunch tray are certainly one of them. Now commonly known as Lunch Lady Brownies, this…

Peppermint Mocha Bark
This bark will appeal to two types of people: those who love drinking peppermint mochas during the holidays, and those who love snacking on chocolate-covered espresso beans. Needing a sweeter chocolate to help offset the bitterness of the espresso beans, I chose to use milk chocolate chips. Because I thought crunching into a whole, full-sized…
Glazed Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars
I realize I push the limits on pumpkin spice craziness when I post two pumpkin-y recipes in a row, but these are just so delicious that I couldn’t resist! I love a good shortcut recipe for saving time. These bars use Krusteaz Pumpkin Spice Cookie Mix as the crust. Using the mix as a crust…
Vanilla Lovers Cookie Bars
Most people can categorize themselves as a chocolate person or a vanilla person. I happen to be the latter. Don’t get me wrong, I love chocolate. Like, I really really love chocolate. But if I’m faced with choosing between two desserts and one of them is vanilla and the other is chocolate, I’m gonna go…
Lemon Oatmeal Crumble Bars

These bars start with a soft yet sturdy thick shortbread cookie base,…
Peanut Butter Ritz Stuffed Brownie Bites

Even better if they’re baked into a mini muffin tin, giving you a batch of cute, poppable brownie bites. These are freezer friendly brownie bites that are perfect for tossing into a Ziploc bag, freezing, and…
Gooey Chewy White Chocolate Raspberry Blondies
White chocolate with raspberry are killer as a pair, and I was in the mood for some soft, gooey blondies that incorporated both of those flavors. Knowing that I wanted these suckers to remain soft on the inside, I chose to start with a baked graham cracker crust on the bottom to offer some structure…
Coconut Frosted Lemon Bars
The development of these bars started with some visual inspiration. After a few disappointing snows that have amounted to little more than muddy slush, I found myself longing for a good deep snow that coats the world in a layer of puffy marshmallow fluff. Thus, these bars were born. This dessert begins with a pan of…
Glazed Eggnog Cookie Bars
These easy cookie bars are a delicious way to use up the last of this holiday’s eggnog, or you can keep it around until next year! Cookie bars are my favorite go-to recipes when I need to whip up something sweet without the hassle of rolling or spooning out individual cookies. These eggnog cookies are…
