• Strawberry Crisp

  

  If you’re a strawberry-lover, Strawberry Crisp makes a wonderful dessert for spring and summer! This recipe is made using six 6-ounce ramekins, which is a great size for a smaller dessert—I think it’s just the right amount! The topping is a sweet, crumbly mix of oats, a little flour, brown sugar, and butter.

• Fudgy Brownies

  

  For those of you who like your brownies rich and fudgy, these Fudgy Brownies are for you! They’re thinner brownies as opposed to thicker, cake-like brownies—and they’re dense, moist, and very chocolatey! I found a brownie recipe a few months ago in the Jan/Feb issue of Better Homes & Gardens, and I tweaked it just…

• Almond Butter Cookies

  These Almond Butter Cookies remind me of both shortbread and sugar cookies. They’re rich and buttery like shortbread. They also have a nice sweetness, a chewy center, and crispy edges like some sugar cookies I’ve had. Since they have almonds and almond butter in them, that makes them healthy too, right? 🙂

  I’m a fan of crispy treats and I like to experiment making them with different add-ins.

• Dark Chocolate Oreo Cookie Bars

  Talk about rich and chocolatey…these bars have double the chocolate with dark chocolate chips and crumbled Oreo cookies mixed in! And the creamy Oreo filling gives a great taste to these bars since some of it bakes into the cookie dough. I like using the Double Stuff Oreos because I love all that filling!
