Chocolate-covered, Butterfinger-Sprinkled
Peanut Butter Rice Krispies Treats

This may be one of the most “American” things that I have ever made, and I am not exactly sure what prompted the “americanism” other than I actually ate a Butterfinger bar for the first time in my life the other day. I am not a huge fan of peanut butter on the whole — I like it as an ingredient in other things, but on it’s own, not so much. Nevertheless, these are delicious, if you like Rice Krispies treats (I do), chocolate and peanut butter (yes to both of those). AS an extra bonus, they are gluten free!

“Cheater” Puff Pastry Croissants

Here’s a quick and easy brunch recipe: “Cheater” Puff Pastry Croissants. Lot’s of ways to dress them up too: almond, chocolate, savory with ham and cheese. I had these ready in under 15 minutes and ready to eat 30 minutes after that, so a great option — remember to thaw your puff pastry the night before!

Maine Blueberry Cutie Pies

I decided to make a little mini-Valentine’s Day tart — just a little blueberry number. Mostly because aI recently bought this little “cutie pie” pie dish and wanted to show it off. OK, that might be a little bit of a silly reason to bake a pie, but it was delicious to too, so win win.

Oatmeal Nutella Bars

So, I guess I had one more Nutella-based recipe in me, as a carry over from World Nutella Bar, which was yesterday. These Oatmeal Nutella Bar are a riff on my usual crumble bars, only with two doses of Nutella and a bunch of oatmeal, they are more like crunchy granola bars. Maybe even healthy enough for breakfast, certainly delicious enough for a snack or pick-me-up. Quick and easy to make if you want to be making some yourself.

Nutella Cheesecake Puffs

Another Nutella treat! Yes, there are a few of them for World Nutella Day (February 5). These are actually pretty impressive looking and not much effort, really. Definitely a lovely dessert piece and can be served with whipped cream or ice cream. Excellent when warm.
