Spring M&M Cream Cheese Sugar Drops

Beginning to find my Spring / Easter-ish baking inspiration, just in time, I might add. Here is something happy: Spring M&M Cream Cheese Sugar Drops. They are mostly just drop cookies (a la Toll House Chocolate Chip), but they have a bit of cream cheese in them, which makes them just have s bit of tang. And of course, I overloaded the batch with two who bags of M&Ms (not one to do things by half measure). Colorful and festive and brings out the child in me. Something to add to your Easter Egg hunt, or to stash for yourself?

Candy, Sweet Snacks

Leprechaun Balls (Jameson Truffles)

Right then, I had one more sweet thing to make for St. Patrick’s Day 2023, and here it is. Leprechaun Balls !!! Get your mind out of the gutter, they are just homemade truffles/chocolates with a healthy dose of Jameson Whiskey. They are rather amusing to me, so I will continue to call them Leprechaun Balls, and try not to choke on them as I eat said Leprechaun Balls. 🙂

Sugar Bee Honey Whiskey Apple Pie

It’s March 14, commonly known as Pi(e) Day here in the US, so I baked a pie…. just a standard old lattice top apple pie, but it is delicious. I found this new variety of apples called “Sugar Bee”, and they turned out to be a great baking apple; I definitely recommend seeking them out.

Cookies, Sweet Snacks

Emerald Blossoms
(aka Browned Butter Almond Crinkle Blossoms)

Another little St. Patrick’s Day Treat. I am not normally one to use a lot of food coloring, but made an exception today, so here we are — browned butter and almond with a dark chocolate Hersey’s kiss. The recipe makes quite a few cookies but it can he halved in case you don’t need so many. Cheerful, happy little cookies — emerald blossoms next to the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. (or something stereotypical like that).

Irish Cream “Faux-reos” Sandwich Cookies

I thought I’d make a couple of things for St. Patrick’s Day. And sort of like most holidays, I am just making these because it’s a sweet treat and I felt like it, not because they are particularly Irish or Irish-American for that matter. These “Irish Cream “Faux-reos” Sandwich Cookies are Oreo-style Chocolate Sandwich Cookies with Bailey’s Filling, and how can you really go wrong with that.
