Here are this year’s variation on the Annual Hot Cross Buns. This year, I went with spiced apple, instead of the traditional. Hot out of the oven, all warm. Crazy yummy!

While I am throwing M&Ms into treats, I thought I would make some “Don’t Call it Chex” Snack Mix. It is Chex Mix though. But yummier, imo, than your standard stuff. The honey and Worcestershire sauce give it a nice tangy sweetness. The almonds and peanut M&Ms a nutty crunch. Great for nibbling. Obviously I used the springtime / Easter M&Ms, given the season, but go for the regular colors the rest of the year.
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!
