Double-Take Desserts

As much as I love trying new things, I can’t get past old favorites. If a dessert is easy to throw together, I’m especially likely to keep the ingredients now “just in case” I need a sweet treat fast.

I made another batch of Peanut Butter S’mores Bars one week after my first batch. I’m obsessed. These were to bring to a Christmas party yesterday, and they were just as good as the first time. I even got requests to make them for a family birthday party in January—fine by me, any excuse to whip up another batch.

I also made another batch of microwave vegan fudge after coming home last week and realizing we had 4 pounds of earth balance. I’d like to say these were for a party or even neighbors but nope! I just made them because I was bored and craving chocolate. Don’t pretend like you wouldn’t do the same.

And now with my sugar coma I’m in awe that Christmas is just 5 days I way. I have a good idea at what some of my gifts will be and one sounds “picture perfect”. I can’t wait!

Oh, and if you thought things couldn’t get more chocolaty, just wait until tomorrow…

    That fudge is such awesome stuff. I haven’t made any for a few weeks and now I’m thinking it needs to happen for the monstrous cookie platter I’m making on Christmas…

    That fudge looks super-dense and super-chocolatey, as opposed to super-sweet. My kind of fudge. Yum.

    I think I just got a contact sugar high from reading this post. Also, I am ridiculously excited to finally meet you in March! Although, hopefully I’ll find myself in Providence before then!

    Mmmm…fudge always intimidates me, but with this post, I’m tempted to give it a try.

    As much fun as it is to try/create new recipes, you can’t forget about the trusty old recipes! Can’t get enough desserts this time of year…
