PB Salted Caramel Icebox Cake
Growing up, I used to love making icebox cakes in the summer with my mom. We would mix and match crusts and cookies, creams and yogurts, and have so much fun seeing what new creation we would enjoy for dessert! The main thing she taught me is that icebox cakes are nearly impossible to mess up. If you have the ingredients for a crust, and then layer in some whipped cream for the filling, the sky’s the limit with anything else you want to thr... Read More

Halloween Candy Ice Cream Cake
We’ve all been there in our childhood: In the after trick-or-treating candy coma. The tricks and treats are over, we’ve poured our mountains of candy treasure out of our pillowcases and traded Sweet Tarts for Rolos, Twix for Reese’s peanut butter cups, thrown off our tiaras and pulled back our masks and chowed down on our sweet earnings until it happens. The dreaded coma. And then we can’t even look at our Halloween candy again for at le... Read More

Salted Caramel-Chocolate Dump Cake
I don’t know what happened. One minute, I was minding my own business and before I knew it, I was dumping chocolate pudding, chocolate cake mix, caramels and sea salt into a pan. And then, seconds later, I was placing the pan into the oven. Once my kitchen smelled like heavenly, desserty things, I pulled the cake out of the oven and WHAT – drizzled it with more chocolate! And soon after that, I was inhaling the cake by the handful, altern... Read More
