Quick Tip: Package this Chex mix up into individual baggies and pass it out at your child’s holiday school parties. It’s the perfect treat!

Here have been many times when I’ve totally screwed up in the kitchen and created a foodie monstrosity.

Like the time I used 1 tbsp. instead of 1 tsp. in a loaf of banana bread. Boy oh boy, that thing turned out tasting like PlayDoh.

It looked absolutely beautiful so when I took that first bite it was a mega shock. There have also been times when I’ve made mistakes in my recipes and they actually turned out really good, such is the case with this cookie recipe. The creator of this recipe, Bobbie Thompson, never meant for these cookies to come out the way that they did, but was she ever glad about the end results!

And you wanna know something else? I am very glad about the end results of these “gleeful mistake” cookies or as Bobbie calls them, “Happy Accident” cookies. These are some of the best cookies I’ve ever eaten.

Quick Tip: If you don’t have Ovaltine on hand it’s not a big deal. You can substitute it with Nestle Quick or equivalent.

Sponge Cake So Good You’ll Forget Your Manners

I never thought I would say this but I think I finally have a sponge cake recipe that is better than my mother’s! She has been famous for her incredible sponge cake for as long as I can remember, and for a good reason. Let me tell you, that cake is so delightful, people have tried to buy the recipe from her! She said she’d never sell it, she’s only going to share it with her family and friends.

And because I respect her wishes I won’t be sharing her recipe today. Instead I’m sharing this one – I guess it’s not fair to say this is better than my mother’s since this isn’t a traditional sponge cake. Maybe I should say this is equally delicious, just different!

I never would have thought of adding this ingredient but fortunately I overhead a lady talking about a special sponge cake, at the church potluck. Of course I raced over, curious about this cake, and I found out they had added white chocolate to it!

Quick Tip: If you’d like to frost this cake, you may want to reduce the sugar by 1/4 cup.

Everyone loves cake batter, and as a kid, getting to lick the spoon was always a delicacy.  Who could forget the funfetti colors of a kid’s cake?  Well now, with this new take on a classic “Blondie,” you won’t.

This recipe makes about 16 bars and only takes a few simple ingredients.  Ready in no time, and in a large batch, you’ll be tempted to keep them all for yourself, but motivated to share the incredible taste!

Desserts have many flavors, but tea is usually not one of them.  Don’t knock it, till’ you try it, however.  This white chocolate and green tea cheesecake is rich, yet light, at the same time.

This recipe serves 6-8 people and needs to chill for several hours before serving.  One thing is for sure, this Japanese-style cheesecake is beyond delicious.

One of my favorite sweet treats during fall is caramel apples, and during the winter months, it’s fudge. So why not combine the two for the ultimate treat? Creamy fudge meets chewy caramel and the union is pure bliss. A unique fudge flavor, I guarantee no-one else at your parties will have thought of this one!

To be honest with you, I really was going to make this for a party. My mistake was that I had one bite – you know, just to try and see if they were tasty enough to serve for guests. Thirteen bites later I realized I couldn’t control myself! Fortunately there was still time to make a new batch, since these only take about 10 minutes to prepare and a couple of hours to chill. I had to ask my husband to keep an eye on me, so that I wouldn’t eat all of them!
