Nutella Pops
A cold, creamy treat that’s easy to make, Nutella Pops remind me of the classic chocolate pudding pops that were so popular when I was a girl! Do you remember Pudding Pops? In the 1980s, Bill Cosby was the spokesman for this popular frozen treat. The chocolate version was similar to a creamy fudgesicle,…
Cherry Crisp (Gluten-Free)
I had the pleasure of having a helper in my kitchen the other day. As much as I love it when my boys lend an occasional hand in the kitchen, it was a treat to have a female assistant this time around! Heather Green is an aspiring photographer who, at age 12, started her own…
Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies
Three basic ingredients come together with ease in this flourless, dairy-free cookie that is sure to become a favorite! This recipe originally came from my friend Abby, who has a delightful blog called Manila Spoon. Besides being incredibly easy, the cookies are grain- and dairy-free to boot.

Rhubarb Bars
The sweet-tart flavor and slightly gooey filling, which is balanced by a crisp crust, make these bars a must when rhubarb is in season! Happy Mother’s Day!

Strawberries and Cream “Ice Cream”
Some people refer to this lusciously sweet and creamy treat as “nice” cream, and for good reason. It’s decadent-tasting enough to feel naughty, yet healthy enough to enjoy on repeat! After an early spring snowstorm and generally chilly temperatures, spring finally arrived. Although, if we weren’t paying attention to the calendar, we may have…
Bittersweet Chocolate Peanut Butter Eggs
Before I began making my Easter candy this year, I received a generous gift of assorted chocolates from a friend who works for The Hershey Company. I wanted to incorporate this gift into my Easter candy-making ritual, so I put a few of the rolled “insides” aside and refrigerated them for later use. The original…
Almond Bark with Sea Salt
Salty-sweet almond bark is the ultimate treat and takes mere minutes to make with three simple ingredients. Every year before Easter, I find myself up to my elbows in chocolate.

Coconut Cream Eggs
With its classic flavor and texture, this decades-old recipe has garnered legions of fans and truly stood the test of time!

A hint of citrusy flavor complements the classic chocolate brownie for an elevated take on an old favorite! Who remembers the Pepsi Challenge? Years ago, I remember going to a mall while with my family in the Poconos and seeing the stand. I thought it was so cool that we ran into the real, live…
