Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream
Posted on August 1, 2016
Rich and creamy no-churn peanut butter ice cream with swirls of milk chocolate and peanut butter. Part of me wants to apologize for the fact that all I want to make and eat is ice cream.

Fluffernutter Cookies
Posted on February 26, 2016
Soft and chewy peanut butter cookies sandwiched together with marshmallow buttercream.

Everything just melded together in one…

An easy no-bake dessert that only uses four ingredients! This tart is simple but impressive.

Rich dark chocolate pound cake topped with creamy, light and delicious peanut butter whipped cream.

Fluffernutter Chocolate Cake

You favorite chocolate cake covered with peanut butter and marshmallow swirled icings. Sometimes cakes don’t work out like you want them to. But sometimes, they turn out better.

Apple and Peanut Butter Oatmeal Crumble

Triple Chocolate Muffins with a Peanut Butter Swirl
Posted on January 3, 2012
Today was my first day back to real life. The early morning alarm, a half-awake trip to the gym, and then that rush to shower, eat breakfast, pack lunch and basically race against the clock to get to the office on time. I didn’t like it. Did I spend the last three weeks recovering from…
Rugelach, Three Ways
Posted on December 22, 2011
I decided to get a little crazy with my last holiday cookie. Rugelach is a traditional Jewish dessert, perfect for Channukah.

Do these brownies look gooey enough to you? They did to me too… …at 8:30 this morning. What, you don't eat brownies for breakfast? Yeah, me neither.

Chocolate and Peanut Butter Love
Posted on December 19, 2010
I love peanut butter. If a day goes by where I don’t have it, I experience withdrawal symptoms. A few days without it? Don’t mess with me. As much as I loved being in Italy for my honeymoon this summer, going without peanut butter for almost two weeks may have been enough to convince me…
