S’mores Bars (Again!)

Yup, another s’mores recipe. The more, the better! I really don’t understand people that dislike s’mores (cough cough Larry David in Curb Your Enthusiasm). They’re so gosh darn good!IMG_7389

These have a nice cookie dough base that holds all of your marshmallows and chocolate in place. I adore a thick, hearty dessert, and these fit the bill. IMG_7395 IMG_7396

See what I mean? Since this makes a 9×13 pan, you can cut them into smaller pieces and feed a TON of people. IMG_7400

I have so many drafts on my blog that I need to organize and add pictures. Hopefully I can find a time to get that done before my 12 days of Christmas this year! IMG_7401 This recipe comes from from Glorious Treats.

I feel like the baking bug hasn’t bitten me in a while. It’s amazing what having a baby can do to you. They’ll take over your entire world. It’s like everything just takes the backseat all of a sudden. The days go by fast now, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Sorry, readers. Life has taken over and I’m just going with the flow. Don’t worry, I have plenty of posts to keep it going.

Here’s a quick recipe for those in a rush or short on time. It’s a spruced up box mix, which is never a bad idea in my book. Plus, it’s mint and chocolate.

Mini M&M and Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies

I’m a simple girl. I love chocolate chip cookies and snickerdoodles. I don’t need a bunch of add-ins or fancy mixers. Sure, I’ll eat other cookies, but when it comes down to it, I’ll always pick the simple ones. This cookie is on the list.

M&M’s are pretty much the simplest candy that comes to mind. They’re just little bite-sized pieces of chocolate covered in a candy coating. Add them to a cookie base and you’ve got a simple, delicious cookie.

It may be 10PM right now, but I’ll totally take three, please!

Don’t they just look dreamy? The cream cheese, bread flour, and corn starch in the batter really make a difference. `
