I have no words for this. Well, maybe one. RIDICULOUS. That’s exactly what these bars are. There is no way I could come even close to describing to you what these taste like. All I can say is that you’ll feel overwhelmingly happy. So much so that you won’t know what to do with yourself. It starts out with a huge smile, which quickly turns into uncontrollable giggles, followed by laughter and the slapping of anything and everyone you can find. You’ll be so enamored you might even start rolling on the kitchen floor… yep, you’ll be a complete loony. But hey, at least you have something to blame. Caramel Nougat Chocolate Bars are prepared to change your taste buds. Are you ready to give it a whirl? [Read more…]

Easy Caramel Apples

October 21, 2013 By Kathi Leave a Comment

Hey there! Since I’ve been somewhat slacking in posting recipes that embody fall, I couldn’t help but pull out good old Caramel Apples. Traditional caramel apples usually call for melting a whole bag of caramels, dipping your apples in the gooey sauce and smothering them in loads and loads of candy. While I am a big fan of described apples, I have never enjoyed the process. Too messy and sticky for my liking. Each fall, I usually rope my husband into lending me a hand, i.e. I melt the caramels and he takes care of the rest. While he enjoys the occasional job as sous chef, I happen to know that caramel-apple-dipping is also not at the top of his list of favorite kitchen activities. This is exactly why this recipe was born. Homemade Caramel Sauce is poured over freshly diced apples and topped with candy. Mess-free, easy to eat, and every bit as delightful as your traditional caramel apple.

Caramel Stuffed Cider Cookies

October 2, 2013 By Kathi Leave a Comment

I am such a sucker for all things containing caramel. Caramel seems to make everything better and more scrumptious. It surely enhances the taste of most treats and causes ultimate gooeyness, which is the icing on pretty much all delights. Buttery goodness and a luscious brown hue are irresistible. When I came across these cookies, not a single doubt remained in my mind that I had to give them a try. This is not your average cookie recipe – it contains a special ingredient which I will tell you about in a second. On this beautiful fall day (around these parts anyways), you deserve a cookie that will make your palate sing.
