Salted Caramel Popcorn, Pretzel & Peanut Bars

October 19, 2011 |

Let me introduce you to Rice Krispies treats on crack. Or steroids. Pick your poison. These are insanely, dangerously addictive. There aren’t even any Rice Krispies in them. Instead, we have a mixture of popcorn, pretzels and peanuts. And you know the whole butter and marshmallow mixture that traditionally binds everything together? Forget about it. [...]

Even though we’re inching closer to September and a bounty of apples, pumpkin, fall baking, jeans and hoodies, and football, there are still quite a few days of summer left to enjoy.

Usually all it takes is me seeing the words “peanut” or “peanut butter” in a recipe title to get me to save it immediately. And sometimes it takes even less time for me to get my butt in the kitchen and whip it up. For some reason, however, these beauties slipped through the cracks. Part [...]

They say there is a first time for everything. And these bars represent the very first time I have ever seen a recipe and made it in the same day. Sure, I have seen recipes before that I think are fabulous and I bookmark them, and maybe whip them up a few days later. But [...]

Rocky road ice cream, well, rocks. I fell in love with it last year after my slew of allergy problems were finally behind me. My Chief Culinary Consultant lives, literally, across the street from Marble Slab, which can be both awesome and dangerous. Our ice cream cravings know no time or season. We’ve bolted across [...]
