Peanut-Topped brownies with maple filling
Ingredients
Brownies
- 1 box (1 lb 2.4 oz) Betty Crocker® Original Supreme Premium brownie mix
- Water, vegetable oil, and eggs called for on brownie mix box
Filling
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 1/2 teaspoons maple flavor
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup unsalted dry roasted peanuts
Topping
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil
Procedure
- Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Grease bottom only of 9-inch square pan with cooking spray or shortening. (For easier cutting, line pan with foil, then grease foil on bottom only of pan.) Make brownies as directed on box. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
- In large bowl, beat all filling ingredients except powdered sugar and peanuts with electric mixer on medium speed until creamy and smooth. Gradually beat in powdered sugar until well blended (filling will be thick). Spread filling evenly over brownies. Sprinkle with peanuts.
- In small microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips and oil uncovered on High 1 to 2 minutes, stirring once, until melted. Spread evenly over peanuts. Refrigerate about 1 hour or until chocolate is set. For bars, cut into 6 rows by 4 rows. Store covered at room temperature.

Millionaire Squares
Ingredients
Crust
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 cups crisp oatmeal cookies
Filling
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups confectioner’s sugar
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Procedure
- Melt 1/2 cup butter in medium saucepan over low heat or in glass bowl in microwave.
- Crush cookies, like you would for making a pie crust. I used 2/3 of my package. We won’t talk about what happened to the rest. These cookies are hard, using a food processor or mini chopper like I have is easiest.
- Combine butter and crumbs till all crumbs are moist and buttery. Reserve 1/4 cup for topping. Press remaining crumbs into the bottom of a greased 8 x 8 pan. I placed a square of parchment paper on the bottom of my pan. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 5 minutes. Just wait until you smell that crust cooking.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely.
- Heat chocolate and 1/2 cup butter in medium saucepan on lowest heat, stirring often until chocolate is almost melted. Remove from heat and stir until smooth.
- Add egg, beat well to combine, stir in sugar, just a spoonful at a time. Once all sugar is added and you have a smooth consistency, stir in nuts.
- Spread evenly over crust, I used the back of a spoon.
- Sprinkle reserved crumbs over top. Chill until firm.
- Using the parchment paper on the bottom of the pan makes it easy to remove to a cutting board and cut evenly into squares. I cut into 16 squares.

raspberry & goat cheese swirl brownies
Brownie Ingredients:
- 5 ounces bittersweet chocolate
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 3/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 eggs or flax eggs
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
raspberry cheese swirl ingredients:
- 4 ounces room-temperature tofutti cream cheese (or regular cream cheese)
- 1-2 ounces room-temperature goat cheese
- 1 tablespoon room-temperature butter
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup raspberries (I used frozen), lightly mashed
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Set raspberries aside (especially if they’re frozen) to thaw at room temperature while you assemble everything else.
- Make a make-shift double boiler by placing a glass bowl over a saucepan with simmering water. Make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn’t actually touch the water. Melt the butter and chocolate, stirring so the chocolate doesn’t burn on the bottom.
- When the chocolate is melted, remove from heat. Stir in milk.
- Let the mixture cool to almost room temperature before adding the eggs (unless you’re not adding the eggs, then proceed).
- In a separate bowl mix together flour and baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- Into the chocolate bowl, stir in maple syrup and vanilla. Stir in (already beaten) eggs. Then add in the dry mixture, stir until just combined.
- Whisk (strongly by hand or with a mixer) together the ingredients for the cheese layer – cream cheese, goat cheese, butter, maple syrup, vanilla, until smooth. As I mentioned above, I stirred this up without the goat cheese, divided it in half, and only added goat cheese to one half.
- In an 8×8 or greased pan (or 2 smaller pans – I used two 5×7 pans) pour brownie mixture.
- Spoon cheese mixture on top (doesn’t have to be an even layer).
- Gently crush raspberries with your hands and add them (with juice) on top of the cheese layer.
- Take a knife and swirl the layers in the pan.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes (depending on the size of your pan and thickness of your brownie).

- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. ginger

Two Spoon Caramel Fondant
- 20 caramels

Frosted Animal Cookies
Ingredients:
- 1 stick butter, softened
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 2/3 cup flour (or you can use all white flour if you don’t have whole wheat)
- 1-3 tablespoons water
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup pink candy melts
- Rainbow sprinkles
Procedure:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. In a medium bowl, use a fork to combine the butter, sugar, and flours until a fine crumb forms. Add just enough water to make the dough stick together. Be careful! You don’t want it sticky, but just able to be rolled and cut without crumbling excessively.
Sprinkle a bit of white flour on a large, wooden cutting board. Place half of the dough on the cutting board and roll it out until it’s about 1/4-inch thick. Cut into animal shapes using cookie cutters. Transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet and bake in preheated oven for 20-24 minutes, or until golden brown. (Over cook them ever so slightly beyond where you usually bake cookies for a nice, crisp cookie). Remove and allow to cool slightly.
During the last 4-5 minutes of bake time, toss the chocolate chips and/or candy melts in two medium, microwave-safe containers. Melt in the microwave. Once the cookies are removed from the oven, wait until they are warm to the touch, then dip them completely in the melted chocolate. Dipping the cookies while still a little warm will help you get a nice, light coat of chocolate on the cookies, without it being too thick & overpowering.
Transfer the cookies to a wire cooling rack and allow them to cool & harden completely before serving.

Tuxedo Peeps
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
- pastel polka-dot sprinkles
- 2-3 packages of bunny Peeps
Procedure:
Melt the white chocolate chips in a medium glass bowl. To ensure that your chocolate is melted without becoming singed, pop the bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds, then remove it and stir. Return to the microwave for 30 seconds, then remove it and stir again. Continue doing this until the chocolate is smooth and melted, but not warm to the touch.
Dip the bottom half of the Peeps into the melted white chocolate, covering the entire bottom half of their body, up to their little necks. Place the dipped Peeps onto a piece of parchment and allow the chocolate to cool and harden completely.
Melt the dark chocolate chips in a medium glass bowl. Dip the Peeps diagonally on the left side, then on the right side of their bellies. Return to parchment and allow to cool and harden.
Spoon some of the remaining chocolate into a ziptop bag. Cut a very small corner from the bag and pipe a small amount of chocolate on the back of a polka-dot sprinkle. Gently press sprinkle into place as a “button.” Pipe a bowtie just above the sprinkle button. Return to the parchment and allow to cool completely before serving.
