White Chocolate Candy Cane Shortbread
I always end up with quite a few candy canes during the holidays. This year I bought those mini-candy canes and still had a box of them left! Since I love shortbread, I thought it would be fun to try making some candy cane shortbread. The candy canes in the batter seem to make these bars a little more…

Pumpkin Swirl Brownies
I tried making pumpkin swirl brownies a few years ago, and just wasn’t happy with the results, even after tweaking a recipe several times.

Candy Corn M&M’s Crispy Treats

Last winter, I made some Chocolate-Peanut Butter Cup Crispy Treats which were really good, so I thought I’d try an autumn version with candy corn. I found this recipe at MyRecipes.com which had both candy corn and M&M’s. I thought…

Strawberry Oat Crumb Bars
One of the things I like best about these Strawberry Oat Crumb Bars is that they are made with fresh strawberries instead of jam. I first made these a few months ago and loved the rich, buttery taste of these bars that are big on strawberry flavor! They’re a nice, simple dessert for spring and…

Thick & Chewy Peanut Butter Crispy Treats
I don’t think I ever would have made these Thick & Chewy Peanut Butter Crispy Treats if it hadn’t been for Marijo. One day at work I went by her desk and she had three bags of marshmallows sitting on one side of her desk area. “What are you going to do with those?” I…

So I thought I’d post them again a little earlier in the season just to remind you about these cookies, because it really is a yummy recipe! I originally called them Sugar Cookie Rounds, but they really are more like “drops”…
