I rarely make things that are artificially colored. I just generally don’t like the way that they taste — not to mention how they often look — but every once in a while there are exceptions. Case in point: these Mini-M&M Brownie Bites, all dressed up in Spring and Easter colors. While yes, there is an overload of pastel here, it is the exception in my baking. The brownies are my “from scratch” recipe — no box here — and I painstakingly divided the colors from the mini-M&M packages. Yes, I am insane! 🙂

Did you know that this week has been National Chocolate Chip Cookie Week? No? Well, frankly me neither until a few days ago, but it seemed like a good excuse to make these mini (bite sized) mini-chocolate chip cookies. Pretty standard recipe but always good. And because they are small, they bake up quickly. Enjoy!
Crumble bars are definitely my “go to” dessert (sort of like variations on the blueberry muffin are my go to breakfast item). I think that there must be at least a dozen crumble bar recipes on this site at this point. They are just so eary and the variations are endless. Sometimes I add nuts. Sometimes I add oatmeal. There is always fruit. They are always yummy.
My kitchen smells like apple pie and there isn’t an apple pie anywhere to be found. While apple pie would actually be nice right about now, I have just finished making these here cookies — which small just like apple pie. Cinnamon White Chocolate Appledoodles… sort of a cross between white chocolate chip cookies, snickerdoodles and apple pie. They use Jammie Bits from King Arthur. Yum yum yum!
