Matcha Rice Krispie Treats

Here are some random facts: the other night I dropped some zucchini while couch dinner-ing and never found it. I’m ok with nachos burning my tongue if they’re good enough. Rosé motivates me to clean, so my apartment is REALLY clean right now. And two dudes at work took one bite of these and threw them in the trash because they evidently don’t like matcha? I obvz unfriended them on all forms of social media…

Toasted Marshmallow and Salted Caramel Cookie Bars

You guys, these cookie bars are my valentine. They are my current favorite thing. I’d like to go on vacation with them. I probably would tell them secrets right before bed. I’d definitely make them waffles on the weekend and bring them on walks with Elliot. So now that things have gotten weird, let’s get honest. I ran out of marshmallow when topping these! That’s why I put a cursive chocolate love message in there!…

S’mores Pop Tarts

Sometimes the thought of baking after work just feels like such a hassle! I’ve got things to do like nap and read. I have songs to blare while tapping my toe. I have dinner to eat and cocktails to make. I’ve got phone calls to make in the back yard. I need to hug Elliot as much as possible. I’ve got stuff to do! But Monday, I pushed through it. I made these right after…

Chocolate Stout Waffle S’mores {A Cindy + Megan Adventure}

Cindy came over on Saturday and we put beer and chocolate in waffles. And if that wasn’t enough, we s’more-ifyed them. We topped them with marshmallow sauce, graham cracker crumbs, and more chocolate. These are light and tasty! They are my second favorite to the Belgian-style yeast waffles. And these guys are low-maintence! The batter doesn’t need to rest at all. It’s never tired. I already have plans to make these guys again and top them with…

S’mores {Ronin Style}

Ronin is pretty much my favorite restaurant. I’m crazy for their seaweed salad, dragon roll, and their kobe beef mini burgers served with a mountain of shoe-string fries. So when they put beer in marshmallows, I knew it had to be good. I believe it was their November dessert special: guinness marshmallow s’mores with homemade graham crackers and dark chocolate ganache. Since it was a “limited time only” kind of thing, Jake and I totally…

Twinkies

Jake has been wanting homemade twinkies for awhile now. So this year on his birthday, I finally made them! I armed myself with a cream canoe pan, a hefty amount of eggs, and a dream. And they turned out great! Spongey little yellow cakes filled with fluffy creamy mcfluff. Oh man. And Jake liked them. He ate 6 on his birthday morning! What a champ. And they’re a fun size to package up. Just wrap…

Mini S’mores Cheesecakes

Lately I’ve learned that it’s possible to get sunburned in the shade, that one can fall in love with an air conditioner, and mini cheesecakes are a 3-bite miracle. Milk chocolate cheesecake made with Belgian chocolate from Trader Joe’s is where it’s at. It makes this cheesecake the kind of thing you’ll take one bite of and then be surprised by how amazing it is. Not that I’m one to doubt chocolate, but jeez! My…

S’mores Brownie Bars

Is it possible for there to be cake with a graham cracker crust? Is it bad that questions like these are always going through my mind? Ugh, I wish I had Willie Wonka’s digits. Until that cake thing happens, rest assured knowing that brownies with a graham cracker crust is a really good idea. Oh! These would be an awesome dessert for a picnic or BBQ or any fabulous outdoor food-filled party you’ve got goin’…

Chocolate Malt Marshmallows

I mailed these to my dad for Christmas. He loves chocolate malts and well, it’d be really hard to mail that tasty, frosty drink. I was nervous these would get weird in the mail. That they’d somehow form one huge monster marshmallow. My dad said they froze a bit. So they were cool dudes and not wiggly weirdos. Whew! Dads like this kind of thing. Especially when you draw a malt on the box and…
