Peach Cobbler Bars

by madeitateitlovediton August 29, 2015August 29, 20154 Comments

Summertime means cobbler in our home. We love making berry and peach cobbler. We love to top everything with ice cream! Only problem is trying to photograph something with ice cream on it when it is 110-120 degrees F outside! No matter what time of day it is it is hot! So very little ice cream photography happens. These bars are very yummy with just the frosting on it. It makes them way more portable to gatherings or delivering treats to neighbors, friends, or family. So don’t feel like these HAVE to have ice cream on them to be yummy. But if you can top them with ice …

Peanut Butter S’more Bars

I absolutely love s’mores. S’mores remind me of summertime so when I was asked by Krusteaz to create a “Seize the Summer” recipe I knew just what I wanted to create! S’mores are supposed to be an easy treat to enjoy and that is exactly what these bar cookies are! EASY! When you pair it with Krusteaz double peanut butter mix it makes the dough even more easy! These can be made the day before for a summer time gathering, road trip, or a camping trip! I have brought them to overnighters and they are gone within seconds! I hope you …

Valentines Sugar Cookie Bars

by madeitateitlovediton February 13, 2015February 13, 2015Leave a Comment

Sugar cookies are a favorite in our home. I think I actually make them more than chocolate chip cookies. They have been my favorite since I was a little girl and they are my husbands favorite too! The only downfall is that they are one of the most time consuming cookies out there. Well with Valentines Day coming up this week I am cooking and baking my husbands favorite meals and treats this week to show him how much I adore him! Unfortunately I just got home from a fun girls weekend to Disneyland where lots of party’n and little …

I occasionally bring different treats into my husband’s work. I bring a variety of carmel chocolate pretzels and apples, cookies, popcorn mixes, cinnamon rolls, and many other things. But for some reason these banana bars seem to be their favorite! My husband always texts me within 30 minutes and says that they whole pan is already gone.
