This is another recipe from my mom. It is very similar to Monkey Bread, but I think it's much better. We have this every Christmas morning and I look forward to it all year. It is just melt in your mouth delicious! We nibble on the leftovers all day long. Well, until lunch and then it's usually all gone-haha! It's so sweet, gooey and just so divine!

Killer Crack Peanut Butter Fudge
It's officially peanut butter baking day here at Macaroni & Cheesecake. I came across this recipe for Peanut Butter Fudge on Dinner & Dessert and was intrigued because it didn't use a candy thermometer and looked so creamy and delicious. I decided to make it for my Christmas baskets, and I am so glad that I did! This fudge came together so easily and just melts in your mouth. I will … Read More
White Trash
Call this treat whatever you would like...puppy chow, muddy buddies, snowman poop or white trash, like we've always called it. It doesn't matter what you call it, this stuff is a crowd pleaser! So deliciously good and to me it just says Christmas. That's probably because my mom and I have also been making this delectable treat for as long as I can remember. She uses a slightly different … Read More
Holiday Hints: Christmas Baking Baskets
For this week's holiday hint, I thought I would share pictures of my baking baskets. For several of my friends I put together baskets of baked goods. Even though I've already posted almost all of the recipes, I thought I would make a master list of everything I made for you with links to the recipes all in one place (some I haven't posted yet, but I will update the links once I do). For the … Read More
White Christmas Trail Mix
My uncle Dale made this one Christmas when I was in college and I was instantly hooked. This stuff is super addictive! It actually uses almond bark, but it sounded better to call it white chocolate trail mix-haha! I'm sure it would be equally as good with white chocolate on it. This is so easy, but you have to work quick and in small batches because the almond bark hardens really quickly. The … Read More
Oreo Cookie Bark
My friend Tracy made this last year at our bible study recipe swap. It was so delicious! I made it last year and made it again this year for my Christmas goodie baskets. It's so quick to put together and is so creamy. The oreos add a nice crunch and the peanut butter a great additional layer of flavor. Oh, and two different grocery stores were out of the white baking chocolate, so I just … Read More
Homemade Marshmallows
Oh. My. Goodness. These are truly phenomenal. I can't believe I've never made Homemade Marshmallows before. I had been wanting to make some and then I found these at Good Things Catered. I don't know if I will ever buy marshmallows from the store again. These are so soft and so full of flavor. So much better than store bought! It would also be great to just use it right out of the mixer as … Read More
