Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bark

Cookie dough in a bark. Now you can eat cookie dough without worry and it can be yours in less than twenty minutes. I know more bark, but I’m thinking you will really love this one.

Don’t be mistaken by the quiet look of this bark. Between the white chocolate and dark chocolate layer you will find a surprising crispy crunch of cocoa pebbles for added texture and flavor. Adding to that is dry cake mix folded into the white chocolate for a cookie dough profile and finishing it all off is a sprinkling of mini chocolate chips. And there you have it, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bark.

Caramel Apple Cookies

After a week filled with candy bark, I’m trading in the no-bake run for some oven time in a Caramel Apple dessert turned cookie. The base of this cookie is soft and chewy, with a crisp edge. To give it the caramel apple profile, you’ll find toffee bits and diced raw apples in between the crumb. Adding to that are roasted salted almonds chopped and folded in for a sweet and salty combo and for added crunch.

This started out as an apple pie cookie, but the strueusel proved to be too sweet for the cookie. I removed the streusel but kept everything else intact. In doing so, the cookie resembled a caramel apple more than a apple pie.

Easy Chicken Pot Pie and Giveaway!!

As fall weather cools things down, my thoughts of cooking turn to comfort foods. Soups simmering on the oven, warm flakey pie crusts, and holiday dinners replace salads and cold drinks on the menu. All of these tasty fall foods mean turning on the oven and the stovetop and warming the kitchen with the smells of fall.

To kickstart the season on the savory side, I decided to combine a warm soup with a flaky crust and created a fast-and-easy chicken pot pie recipe with a hands on time of only 40minutes. Homemade stock is the best, but sometimes I don’t have time. To get things moving fast in terms of flavor, I browned some thyme and sage with bacon and then threw in the celery and carrots for a mirepoix. The bacon mirepoix along with 1/2 package of onion soup mix is base of of this of chicken pot pie. Follow the rest of the recipe and you will be done in no time.
