Easy Butterfinger Candy
Sometimes I am embarrassed to tell people how easy this delicious candy is to make. It tastes very much like a Butterfinger candy bar and can be made in about 10 minutes (total time)! I like to buy a lot of candy corn right after Halloween when it is on sale, so it can be a very inexpensive candy to make.
Halloween Crunch
When I was a child, my mother would make this treat to send to school for Halloween. It is now a year-round favorite at my house, for when I’m in the mood for something salty and sweet!
Halloween Candy Cookies
My sister has 4 kids, and they get a lot of Halloween candy. So she just makes cookies with it.
Peabody’s Malted Blondies
Love malt in anything and everything? The hint of malt in the base, the chocolate of the chips, and the crunch of the Whoppers put these blondies over the top.
“Confetti” Topped Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake
A friend made this giant chocolate chip cookie cake many times, mainly for her daughter. She would rather have this than conventional cake on her birthday. It is very easy to make, and you can change the topping as desired or leave off completely.
7 Layer Salted Caramel Chocolate Bars
A twist on the classic the 7 layer bars we make at Christmastime.
Pumpkin Spice Cheerios Snack Mix
Indulge with this Pumpkin Spice Cheerios snack mix. The perfect balance of sweet and salty, then kissed with a bit of warm spices.
Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Caramel Pecan Cookies
When a friend was describing what the perfect cookie would be if it existed, I decided to create a recipe to give her as a Christmas present.
White Trash
My sister received this in a Christmas gift basket last year and we ate the whole bag. It’s a hit every time.
Fluffernutter-Butter Bars
I took a simple old favorite and set out to make it something special. My family took one look and couldn’t wait to dive in and they didn’t! They had some before dinner, and they had some after dinner. Definitely a win.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Chex Mix
This stuff is so darn good! It’s addictive so I don’t make it too often. It can be made with lots of substitutes… different cereals for the Chex such as Cocoa Puffs, Golden Grahams, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Or substitute different chips for chocolate chips such as butterscotch, white, milk, dark, etc. It’s easy and delish!CI COLEMAN

Chocolate Bliss Bundt Cake
What is there not to love about chocolate pudding, chocolate chips, chocolate ganache, Snickers candy bars, and, oh yeah, how about some caramel, too? And, yes, all in one amazing cake! Drool.RUSCH

Toffee Chocolate Kiss
