Like so many other things in my foodie life, I had never heard of an Icebox Cake until I saw it on Smitten Kitchen a few years ago. The idea behind it is that you stack up chocolate wafer cookies with whipped cream, and let the whole thing set in the fridge overnight. The cookies......
It’s well known that I have a serious love affair with S’mores and the holy trinity of graham + milk chocolate + marshmallow. This relationship hasn’t been without it’s trials and tribulations over the years though, all due to homemade marshmallow making in a variety of forms. There was this pie, where the marshmallow never......
There are some people you just love to bake for, and my friend Janelle is one of them (previous examples here and here). She’s always so excited to receive treats, and they literally go directly into her desk drawer, for fear that someone will see them, and she’ll have to share. I love this! I......
Gingersnaps really aren’t my favourite type of cookie, and I don’t necessarily reach for citrus desserts, but I decided to give this week’s Baked Sunday Morning recipe a try anyway. I was mostly motivated by the fact that this is a one bowl, one spatula recipe, and it was really quick to mix up. The......
It’s time for the recap of my annual Champagne & Cookies Christmas party! Last year there was a snowstorm on the night of the party, so I nervously started checking the weather about a week before, and it was nothing but clear skies. Hooray! Since I went on a little trip to NYC the weekend......
I had a lot of fun participating in the The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap last year, but I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do it again this December. I knew I would be preparing for a trip to NYC the week of the shipping deadline, plus trying to get a head start on......
It’s my first Baked Sunday Morning from Baked Occasions! Yay! The group actually started a couple weeks ago with these Election Palmiers, but I didn’t really feel like making my own puff pastry, plus I just knew that a S’MORES recipe would be the perfect place for me to start (evidence here). These cookies are......
Pumpkin Spice products are so trendy right now, as evidenced by the pictures my friends sent me when they were shopping at Target in the States last week. The products included, but were not limited to: M&Ms, marshmallows, Pop-Tarts, Oreos, chocolate bars, Jell-O pudding and even Pumpkin Spice Sweet Potato Chips. Attention packaged food companies......
We have some experience stuffing delicious things into delicious things over here on Planet Byn. Oreos stuffed into Chocolate Chip Cookies. Cookie dough stuffed into Cupcakes. Bourbon Caramels stuffed into Spiced Cookies. So obviously I was totally in on these Candy Bar Cookies. For this recipe, the Baked boys have you wrap cookie dough around......
Last summer when I was recipe testing for Baked Occasions, one of my assignments was a Wintermint Cake. This was a triple layer chocolate cake, layered with chocolate mint ganache and peppermint buttercream. I made it on a scorching hot August afternoon, and I had to blast my air conditioning to keep everything cool. It......
