5-Ingredient Fudge
If you want to give your fudge a fun finish, you can add a smattering of sprinkles or drizzle melted candy melts over the top. You can easily tweak these decorations to match the season.
Desserts
Fig Cookies
Don’t hesitate to repurpose a wine bottle or stainless steel water bottle as a rolling pin, whether it’s full, partially full, or empty. Just make sure that the bottle is clean, and dust it with a little flour before rolling out the dough. If your bottles have labels on them, wrap them in plastic wrap before rolling out the dough.
Desserts
Peach Upside-Down Cake
There are many delicious options besides peaches for upside-down cake. Pineapple cake, whether baked in a cast-iron skillet or as adorable cupcakes, is a classic. A little plum cake would be perfect for summer.
Desserts
Coconut Cream Cake
Yes. You’ll need to swap out the egg whites (sub aquafaba or silken tofu for a similar texture) as well as the condensed milk and whipped topping. You can sub both of those ingredients with full fat coconut whipped cream, making this a cake that is easily made vegan.
Desserts
Cinnamon Chip Chai Spiced Snickerdoodles
The texture is soft and crisp at the same time, just like a regular snickerdoodle, but spiced sugar mixture and cinnamon chips take these to a new level.
Desserts
Gingerbread Men

Desserts
Croissant Bread Pudding
A knife inserted in the center will come out clean, but even before testing that way, the center should not appear wet or jiggly, and should be slightly puffed up.
Desserts
Apple Crumb Bars
Store your dessert bars the way you'd store cookies. These apple crumb bars keep well in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-5 days.
Desserts

Desserts
Homemade Butterscotch Pudding
The best way to tell when homemade pudding is done is by analyzing its consistency. The pudding should begin to thicken over time, and once it’s creamy enough to coat the back of a spoon, it should be good to go.
Desserts
Strawberry Delight
You need only a few ingredients to make this fun, retro strawberry delight dessert.
Desserts
Peanut Butter Fudge with Marshmallow Creme
With only five ingredients and 15 minutes of prep time, creamy peanut butter fudge with marshmallow creme is one of the easiest treats. Also known as fluffernutter fudge, it makes a great food gift, too!
Desserts
Chocolate Peanut Treats
When I was in high school, I took these sweet and crunchy squares to bake sales— and they were the first to sell out. I still make them for family and friends who love the classic combination of chocolate and peanut butter.
Desserts
Heart-Shaped Cookies
The delicate texture and rich flavor of these heart-shaped cookies make them extra special. As with any cutout cookie, baking them takes a few extra steps, but they're worth it.

Caramel Cheesecake
For an interesting twist, make a topping out of honey instead of caramel, as detailed in this honey pecan cheesecake recipe. Cheesecakes are quite customizable, so feel free to change the toppings or swap out the crust recipes as desired.
Desserts
Cranberry Christmas Cake
If you’d like to give this away as gifts or serve it differently, try two 9-inch round cake pans or a muffin pan with liners (the batter will make about two dozen muffins). You’ll need to adjust the cooking time for smaller dishes, so start checking for doneness at 20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out of the center clean.
Desserts
Butter Pecan Cake
A dry cake is often a sign of over-baking or an oven that’s just too hot. Try lowering the temperature slightly and be sure to remove your cake as soon as it’s done.
