It’s summer so I am craving anything featuring s’mores. We don’t have a firepit yet so I looked to see what ingredients I had in my cupboard and this is the recipe I came up with. I am very happy with the results, Messy Mallow Bars is a quick recipe to get your s’mores fix.

Oatmeal Cream Pie Cookie Cups

Oatmeal Cream Pie Cookie Cups

I love oatmeal desserts.  Ben & Jerry’s Oat of This Swirled ice cream flavor has been my favorite since it came out.  I often make oatmeal cream pie sandwich cookies but you have to make a ton of cookies and then end up with half when you sandwich them together.

I decided to invent the oatmeal cream pie cookie cup and I am very happy with the results.  This recipe is super easy to make and the cookies are very filling.  I promise to type up the mini version soon!

How to Make a Piecaken

With the holidays just around the corner, I wanted to attempt a dessert that would blow the socks off friends and family.  The piecaken to the rescue!!  Similar to the turducken, a piecaken is made by baking a pie inside a cake – creating the best of both worlds.

I have attempted this recipe twice.  The first trial was a miserable failure, the second pretty good.  With a third attempt, I’m sure my recipe would be perfected but I wanted to get these instructions to you in case you wanted to give it a try for this Thanksgiving.  Below I’ll fill you in on my tips and tricks for creating a piecaken, as well include some cheater versions that will save you a lot of time.  I’ve included the recipe I made up but please note it is not perfected yet but I do explain what I would do to improve it.  Happy baking!
