Brewer’s Blondies
Something a little different, these blondies contain some malted milk powder and chopped up malted milk balls. They’ve also got chocolate chips, so they taste kind of like a chocolate chip cookie. A...

Rosemary Apricot Squares
For the second time this month, I’ve made something from Baked Explorations that I probably wouldn’t have picked to make (apricot, not my favorite). And again, I’ve been pleasantly surprised. I like...

Banana-Oatmeal Bars with Chocolate Chunks
I had to work from home so the plumber could do some work on our bathroom sink. Perfect opportunity to whip up some sort of baked good after my marathon of morning meetings, right? There were two...

Brown Butter-Crispy Rice Treats
I’m blaming this one on Zoe. I’d been seeing mentions of Joanne Chang’s Brown Butter-Crispy Rice Treats on Twitter and blogs but have resisted. Mostly because I think they’re a little lowbrow unless...

Cookbooks I Love: Baked: New Frontiers in Baking
I’ve been baking my way through Baked: New Frontiers in Baking ever since it came out. I love this cookbook, and if you happen to be in NYC, a trip out to Red Hook, Brooklyn to visit the bakery is also...

Baked Brown Sugar Blondies
Don’t judge me – I made blondies from a mix. The horrors! But not just any old mix, it’s from the Baked folks, and is available only at Williams-Sonoma. They’re not inexpensive, but they taste great. I...

Grasshopper Bars
If you love After Eight candies (I do), you will love these grasshopper bars. They taste exactly alike. The bars have a fudgey brownie base, mint buttercream in the middle, and are topped with a...
View ArticleSara’s Persimmon Chocolate Chip Cookies
This is the time of year when I desperately try to find things to make with Hachiya persimmon pulp. It’s not my favorite thing in the world, but we have a tree in our front yard that produces pounds...

Lemon Lust Bars
We’re incredibly lucky to live in an area with somewhat mild weather, friendly to all manner of citrus trees. We have a very old Eureka lemon tree in our backyard so I’m never without lemons. And we...

White Chocolate Brownies
White chocolate is controversial to say the least – most people don’t seem to like it. But until you’ve tried a quality white chocolate, hold judgement. White chocolate (which is made from at least...
View ArticleS’more Nut Bars
I returned to the first Baked book again after two months – how could I have ignored it for so long? I usually bake out of it at least once a month, but it’s a case of too many delicious recipes, not...
View ArticlePeanut Butter & Jelly Bars
This week for Baked Sunday Mornings, we again delved into a recipe I would have never chosen to make on my own. I don’t like peanut butter and I think the last time I ate peanut butter and jelly was...
View ArticleHoneycomb Bars
I like these bars, but not quite as much as I thought I would. And Larry thinks they’re just so-so (I know why – it’s the candied orange peel. He’s not crazy about orange-flavored desserts). There’s a...
View ArticlePecan Bars
It’s Spring Tea time at our local historical museum, and that means I’m baking. The volunteers who run the teas do a great job of figuring out what needs to be made and how much to make, so they...
View ArticleAunt Sabra King’s Pudding Bars
I’m starting to doubt my ability to make bar desserts after this second failure in a row for Baked Sunday Mornings. These bars are pretty simple: a graham cracker crust, filled with a slightly boozy...
View ArticleHeartland Turtle Bars
These bars are exactly my style. Pretty much anything “turtle”, I’m on board – unless it’s actually turtle. The best part of these, besides the caramel (always the best part of anything), is the...
View ArticleCaramel Coconut Cluster Bars
These decadent bars are a take on the popular Girl Scout cookie, the Samoa. Coconut, chocolate, shortbread, caramel. I’m sold. The shortbread is really good. Kind of crumbly, but not dry at all. On top...
View ArticlePumpkin Cheesecake Bars
Oh, pumpkin. I detest pumpkin, and I’m pretty sure it knows. Every time I try to make something with pumpkin, disaster follows. It does it to taunt me. Maybe I’m being dramatic. These weren’t a total...
View ArticleGood Morning Sunshine Bars
Back to another bar recipe for this week’s Baked Sunday Mornings project, and this one is so simple, I was able to throw it together on a weeknight after work. The bars are good, in a lowbrow kind of...
View ArticleBale Bars
Initial reports from the other bakers on these bars (which aren’t actually baked) were mixed, so I was skeptical. Plus, they’re a big jumble of peanuts and peanut butter and white chocolate and...
