It doesn’t get much easier than baked peaches! It’s as simple as slicing, removing the pit and topping with a little butter, cinnamon and sugar. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes and then enjoy with a large scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. It’s actually pretty healthy for a dessert, if we don’t say so ourselves!

10 Sheet Pan Desserts That Are Perfect For A Crowd

by Karly Wood
written by Karly Wood

I am a self-proclaimed dessert lover. Brownies, pie, cookies- I love them all. The worst part about dessert, is when it’s gone and that’s why I’m always trying to figure out how to make it last. I love the idea of sheet pan desserts because they make large qualities, with the same amount of work of making a small batch! If you have a large family gathering, church group to bring dessert to, or are feeding a small army, you need to check out these dessert ideas!

Thick, chewy, chocolatey and gooey, you can’t go wrong with a large batch of these chocolate chip cookie bars if you have a family gathering, need to bring dessert for the class, or are feeding your basketball team. Eat as is, or cut up and serve with some vanilla bean ice cream. I think I’ll be making these this weekend!

2. Sheet Pan Cherry Pie Bars

Who needs a pie pan when you can make sheet pan pie!? Probably the best part about this recipe is you don’t have to slave away over a pie crust, but still get that sweet and delicious pie taste. Cherry filling, crusty topping and delicious vanilla sweetness- all rolled up (or rolled out) in a sheet pan. Wouldn’t this be great for a holiday get together?

I know, you’re probably thinking, it’s super easy to make brownies already! But how many boxes does it take to feed a large crowd? More than 1 I can assure you. These sheet pan brownies are delicious and ain’t your boxed version, and that’s because they have a NUTELLA frosting. Do you need any more convincing? Next time you’re bringing dessert to the family dinner, bring these sheet pan brownies instead.

7 Dessert Hand Pies That Are So Cute, You Won’t Feel Like Sharing

by Karly Wood
written by Karly Wood

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I love dessert! I wouldn’t consider myself an emotional eater but will admit that I almost always feel comforted when I’m digging into a delicious dessert. Even better? When I can hold said dessert in my little hand and don’t need a fork or plate to enjoy. That’s why I love hand pies! They are handheld desserts that are great for parties, eating on the go, or when you really don’t feel like sharing that piece of pie.

7 Mug Cake Recipes To Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth

by Karly Wood
written by Karly Wood

I am a huge fan of dessert. Show me a chocolate cake, and nary will a time come when I turn you down. My only problem is that I show little restraint when it comes to sweets. Bake a pan of brownies? I’ll eat half all by myself. Make cookies? I’ve eaten more than my share before I’ve even washed the mixing bowls. Just give me all the sugar. On my quest to eat healthier, I still find times where I just need a little something sweet- but not an entire cake. Enter, the mug cake! It’s a single serving cake that’s whipped up and heated in a coffee mug just in the microwave! Perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth, without wreaking havoc on your waistline.

1. Peanut Butter Chocolate Mug Cake

My favorite dessert combo has been, and will always been peanut butter and chocolate cake. With only 6 ingredients, which you probably already have stocked in your baking pantry, you can have this DELICIOUSLY sweet dessert in literally 1 minute of microwave cooking. I’ll be making this later, thank you very much!

Check out the full video on this mug cake at KirbieCravings.com.

2. Nutella Mug Cake

I honestly don’t think I’ve met a person yet who doesn’t like Nutella. I know you’re out there somewhere, but most people see the deliciousness that is Nutella and can’t get enough! This simple cake is a mixture of cocoa and Nutella, a perfect combo. Wouldn’t these be best enjoyed with a tall glass of cold milk?

3. Coffee Cake In A Mug

Nothing goes better with a hot cup of coffee than coffee cake! Sure, you may have to manhandle two mugs as you sit down, but it’s worth it. Apple sauce, brown sugar and cinnamon make this lightly spiced cake a perfect companion with your cup a joe.

4. Blueberry Muffin Mug Cake

For you “health nuts” out there who want to incorporate fruit into your sweet treats, I give you the blueberry muffin mug cake. Just kidding though, because pretty much the only healthy thing about this recipe is the fresh blueberries! You’ll find the other ingredients are typical cake items, like butter and sugar. Microwave and enjoy has breakfast or a snack!

5. Vanilla Mug Cake

Chocolate is by and large my favorite sweet flavor, but sometimes a good old fashioned vanilla just sounds amazing. Especially when it’s topped with some sort of chocolate fudge or more vanilla ice cream. This version is super moist (you have no idea how hard it was for me to type that word- it’s SO GROSS) and uses vanilla bean paste to get the vanilla specks. It’s not cheap, but will definitely give you that overt vanilla flavor.

6. S’mores Chocolate Mug Cake

Just because summer is only a small part of the year, doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy everyone’s favorite dessert- S’mores! This mug recipe has everything you love about a S’more, from the marshmallows to the graham crackers and chocolate. It actually has more ingredients then the other mug cakes we’ve featured, but I think it’s worth it. Would you look at that creation?!

7. Lemon Mug Cake

There are few flavors that are as refreshing as lemon. It’s light, airy and has just the right amount of sweet and sour. Fresh lemon juice and zest really give this mug cake a kick, while the rest of the ingredients you’ll find you probably already have stocked. Heat in the microwave and enjoy while it’s still warm.

6 Fun Desserts Just For Kids

by Amanda Foust
written by Amanda Foust

I have always been a HUGE fan of desserts and was born with an overactive sweet tooth. Growing up, my grandma would always create fun, just-for-kids desserts for me and my siblings. One of my favorites was monster toast we painted with food coloring and would douse in butter, cinnamon, and sugar. Any opportunity to throw together sugar, vanilla, and candy bits, I’m IN!

Do your kids enjoy fun, kid-friendly desserts? Here are 6 fun desserts for kids:

1. No-Bake Monster Cookie Bars

Anything with the word “monster” in it will get your kids excited! And anything with the word “no-bake” makes this mama happy! This is a win-win dessert for the whole family. All you need is peanut butter, m&m’s, chocolate, and oats to make this recipe work!

4. Mud Pudding

This was and is one of my favorite desserts! Vanilla pudding is easy to make and all you need to do is add cookie crumbles and bury gummy words into the Oreo “dirt.” As a kid, I loved unburying and pretending to eat the worms! Now I just love the chocolatey taste of the pudding and Oreos mixed together.

5. Monster Cookies

These treats are adorably frightening. Choose a variety of fun colors and then add in candy eyeballs to create the “monster” look. I can picture my kids giggling as they eat these right up!

6. Mermaid Ice Cream

Superman ice cream was popular, but now mermaid ice cream is taking over! You see, mermaids are as trendy as unicorns right now, and your kids will want to jump on the bandwagon! Whip together heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk and some vanilla extract. To make it “mermaid ice cream,” split the mixture into 4 bowls and mix in food coloring like teal and purple in several shades. For all the details on this recipe, check out homemadeinterest.com.

by Leena Kollar
written by Leena Kollar

This time of year, many of us have either been invited to, or are planning a holiday party. With the amount of excitement we have about the holidays, it’s no surprise that we feel the need to come together over great food and good company. I’m here to help you out with one of those. When it comes to holiday party menus, you’ll see a lot of the same stuff every year. But not this year! This year, you’re going to blow people away with a delicious holiday dip. Whether you serve it as an appetizer or a dessert, you’re going to spread holiday cheer with the menu item no one will be able to stop talking about.

1. Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Dip

The one flavor that I’m willing to try just about any food in is pumpkin. My holiday season is not complete without at least one pumpkin food in my kitchen. And this dip? OMG, so easy to make and it sounds like heaven on earth.

Check out the simple recipe over on A Night Owl Blog.

2. Salted Caramel Pecan Cheesecake Dip

I truly believe that when it comes to sweets, nuts make everything taste better. The added texture, the salty element- nuts, take even the best foods and make them the best of the best. Combine that with sweet caramel and the ingredients for cheesecake, and you’ve got a dip that is rich in sweetness and won’t disappoint!

Head over to Wonky Wonderful to learn how to make this.

3. Apple Cider Dip

I’m so fascinated with recipes that turn a drink into a food, and vice versa. Like, who knew you could turn apple cider into a dip? I bet savoring this fruity treat would taste amazing with a cup of apple cider. Talk about apple overload! But hey, that’s what makes seasonal foods so fabulous.

You can find the recipe for this on Just A Little Bit Of Bacon.
