DESSERT

Plum Clafoutis

By Kleinworth & Co 2 Comments

Plum Clafoutis is one of the easiest desserts I have ever made. It sounds like it would be complicated or difficult. But let me tell you – Cut, toss, blend, bake is all you need to do to enjoy this delicious dish! Easy recipes is where it’s at & this one definitely fits that description! You could even save time & use pre-cut frozen fruit too.

Plum Clafoutis

Just look how pretty it is! I love making recipes that look like you spent all day in the kitchen. But with this one it couldn’t be farther from the truth. Clafoutis is a baked French dessert of fruit, traditionally black cherries that are arranged in a buttered dish and covered with a thick flan-like batter. Since I had an abundance of plums on hand I decided to use those instead. But I can’t wait to try it with cherries later on. The clafoutis is dusted with powdered sugar and served lukewarm, sometimes with cream or my favorite ice cream. I keep trying to pass this one off as a breakfast – sort of like a coffee cake. But the family keeps assuring me that it’s definitely a dessert.

Black Velvet Peanut Butter Parfait

By Kleinworth & Co 6 Comments

Black velvet cupcakes broken apart & layered with peanut butter whip makes a Black Velvet Peanut Butter Parfait. The combination of black velvet & peanut butter whip is positively heavenly. Plus it’s simple to make & so pretty too. Easy dessert recipes that wow the crowd.

Black Velvet Peanut Butter Parfait

So you like peanut butter & chocolate combined? Everyone in this house sure does. So when I had some leftover (not sure how that happened) black velvet cupcakes from another project I was working on I decided to take the cupcake idea out of the norm. You see, I also had some leftover peanut butter whip from some other recipes I was using it in & couldn’t stand to see it go to waste. So I combined the two & created heaven in a glass. It was SOOOOOO yummy!

Black Velvet Peanut Butter Parfait

My little helpers were sure happy to help me “dispose” of them all. They love helping me in the kitchen & the studio- it usually means they get to sample what I’m making. Unfortunately the hubs missed out on these- such a bummer that I suppose I will have to make some more for him. Awwwww – well, I suppose if I have to…….you don’t have to twist my arm on that one.

Reese’s Oreo Popcorn

By Kleinworth & Co 2 Comments

Not a lot of time? Do you like no-bake desserts? Yeah – me too. This Reese’s Oreo popcorn is a simple popcorn recipe idea that is packed full of YUMMY goodness. Reese’s Oreo cookies mixed in buttery salted popcorn & covered with white chocolate. Easy dessert recipes don’t get any better this time of year.

Reese's Oreo Popcorn

When the weather is nice the last thing I want to do is be in the kitchen all day. But I certainly don’t want to compromise the YUM factor either. This is one of our family’s favorite treats through the warm months, Reese’s Oreo Popcorn. Reese’s & Oreo coming together is already a match made in heaven. But I definitely wanted to take it a step further & make a munchy snack for outdoor movie nights. This is the PERFECT treat for that.

Reese's Oreo Popcorn

I love making this for a large crowd. Whether you are making a little or a lot – this comes together so quickly so it’s easy to feed the masses. It’s great when we host large BBQ’s or block parties. You could bring it to you next potluck too. Once that weather gets gorgeous & the sun is shining it seems we are always going or hosting some sort of gathering & this definitely takes the stress out of the prep that goes into that. Everyone always comes back for more & I end my day with an empty bowl. Can’t beat that.

  • Once your chocolate is melted pour evenly over your popcorn & start folding to mix throughout
  • Once the popcorn is mostly coated add in all your other ingredients & mix well

Bubble Gum Frozen Yogurt

By Kleinworth & Co 5 Comments

Love those great nostalgic ice cream flavors from your childhood but want to try a slightly healthier version? This Bubble Gum Frozen Yogurt is just the thing. Super easy to make- just mix freeze & enjoy. All the great memories from childhood come flooding back.

Bubble Gum Frozen Yogurt

What was your favorite flavor ice cream growing up? Mine was bubble gum & when I think of some of my best childhood memories it always involves bubble gum ice cream. You see – when I was really little my mom worked at Baskin’ Robbins. Long after she stopped working there we would stop in to visit every so often. When we would go in the summer- we would always get a couple scoops of bubblegum ice cream.

Bubble Gum Frozen Yogurt

Well-as much as I love to indulge with ice cream (probably more often than I should) – I do try to choose slightly healthier options for my treats if I can. So when it’s hot I end up making a whole lot of frozen yogurt. There’s a little less guilt involved & it’s so incredibly easy to make.

Bubble Gum Frozen Yogurt

This Bubble Gum Frozen Yogurt is sooooooo good! For those few short moments I sit to enjoy some I feel like I’m 5 again.

Homemade Biscoff Cookies

By Kleinworth & Co 32 Comments

Need an Easy Cookie Recipe? These Homemade Biscoff Cookies taste just like the original packed full of butter, cinnamon & spice & so simple to make too.

Do you love Biscoff cookies? They are SOOOOO good! I finally found some to share with the hubs & he fell in love. So I decided to make my own.

You see, I had the pleasure of trying Biscoff during my years right out of high school when I was globe-trotting. I was hooked then & spent a long time wishing I could find them here in the states.

Homemade Biscoff Cookies

But then years passed & finally, they were here & I was happy. I would pick them up on occasion when I could find them. Flash forward to a couple of months ago when the hubs had his surgery. I was the one doing the market runs.

It’s amazing what is out there that I didn’t know I could get because I am not the one that does the weekly food shopping!!! So anyhow- while I was browsing each aisle I came across my beloved Biscoff cookies. I bought a couple of packs & this time the hubs gave them a try while he was on bed rest.

He was absolutely in love. They go perfectly with morning coffee now don’t they?! He finally understood what I was so excited about & they were gone in a flash.

Sooooo I figured that since I wasn’t going to buy them in bulk I should make some of my own. After several attempts to get the spice ratios & cooking times right – I finally have the perfect Homemade Biscoff Cookie.

Homemade Biscoff Cookies

Here are some commonly asked questions

What is the Flavor of a Biscoff Cookie?

Biscoff cookies are a type of speculoos cookie, which is a traditional Belgian cookie. These cookies are made with spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. The result is a cookie that has a deep, rich flavor with a hint of sweetness.

How to store leftover cookies

These Biscoff cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 weeks. If you want them to last longer, you can freeze the dough or the baked cookies for up to 3 months. Just make sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or freezer-safe bags to prevent them from drying out.

What does it mean to cream the butter and sugar together?

Creaming butter and sugar together is key to getting giving structure to your dough so that a cookie is light and fluffy. This is because you are incorporating air into the mix when you beat the butter.

When creaming your butter and sugar together, it is important to make sure that you start with soft butter. Add the butter and sugar to the mixing bowl and mix on medium speed for 2-3 minutes. You want to make sure that you stop when you get firm peaks. Be careful not to overmix because you will end up with an oily mix that fails to incorporate the air you need to make this recipe.

ingredients to make Homemade Biscoff Cookies

What if I do not want to make that many cookies? Can I freeze half of the dough for later?

Absolutely! Most cookie dough will freeze very well. You can expect it to have a frozen shelf life of up to three months before you will need to make another batch.

Why do I need to pack my brown sugar when measuring?

Packing your brown sugar is crucial for making consistent measurements. If you do not pack your brown sugar, you are leaving little air pockets in your measuring cup that will reduce the true amount of brown sugar you are adding to the recipe.

These pockets are never uniform, meaning that scooping without packing will add a different quantity each time. Thus, one should always pack their brown sugar when measuring – even if the recipe does not call for it.

Homemade Speculoos Cookies

Ingredients for Homemade Biscoff Cookies

  • butter – room temperature
  • granulated sugar
  • firmly packed brown sugar
  • vanilla extract
  • all-purpose flour
  • ground cinnamon
  • ground nutmeg
  • ground ginger
  • allspice
  • ground cloves
  • salt
  • baking soda

Should I use light or dark brown sugar?

Since I make my own brown sugar, I use light brown sugar for almost all of my recipes. But light or dark brown will work in this recipe.

You can also make your own brown sugar with my Homemade Brown Sugar recipe.

recipe for Biscoff Cookies

How to Make Homemade Biscoff Cookies

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In the mixer bowl, cream the butter, sugar & brown sugar together on low.
  3. Add the vanilla extract.
  4. Slowly add the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice followed by the salt & baking soda & beat until well combined.
  5. Roll out the dough on a smooth surface to 1/4 inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut your cookies into your desired shapes.
  6. Use a thin spatula to transfer the cut dough to a baking sheet – placing approx 1″ apart (they will puff & spread slightly) If you have trouble rolling the dough – chill it for about 30-60 minutes & try again.
  7. Bake in a preheated oven for 13-16 minutes.
  8. Transfer to a wire rack to cool before serving – this is important as they will crisp & set as they cool & then you have the full Biscoff taste & experience.

Do I need to chill the dough before baking?

No, this is a no-chill recipe so you can bake the cookies right away. This is perfect for when you want fresh, warm cookies but you don’t want to wait for the dough to chill.

HOWEVER- that being said, if you have trouble rolling the dough I would recommend chilling it prior to cutting and baking.

It will really depend on the season you are making them – meaning how warm you keep your house. I have noticed that if I make these in the summer and the house is already hot before I turn on the oven OR I am making them while we have the woodstove going – then I will pop the dough in the fridge for a while before working with it.

Homemade Biscoff Cookies

What is the Texture of a Biscoff Cookie?

Biscoff cookies have a unique texture that is both crunchy and slightly chewy. The outside of the cookie is crisp, while the inside is soft and moist. This combination makes for a delicious cookie that is impossible to resist!

Note – the quantity will depend on the size of the cookie cutters you use. Obviously the smaller the cookies, the more you will get out of this batch of dough.

What do you mean by soft butter?

You will need to take your butter out of the fridge about an hour before you would like to bake the cookies for the butter to soften but not get too soft.

How to soften the butter to room temperature?

First

There are a couple of ways to do this. The first being that you can take the butter (& any other ingredients that need to be at room temperature) out, leave it on the counter for about 30 minutes while you prep for baking.

I usually start with all my chilled ingredients and pull everything I need out onto the counter before getting started – so I know for sure I have everything before I’m mid-way through I realize I’m out of something.

But sometimes it’s winter and that isn’t enough time to get the ingredients warmed up – OR – I’m just not that organized to plan ahead. It happens. So I have another couple of tricks.

Second

I place the butter in the microwave – wrapped in the paper. (don’t do this if it is wrapped in foil) Then I microwave for 2 seconds – flip – go another 2 seconds – flip again – and continue for 2 seconds on each side.

This is usually enough to get it perfect – sometimes stopping before if it feels soft enough. Take care when doing this method – overly softened butter from the microwave WILL ALTER the end result of the recipe. Don’t over-do it.

Third

My third method is to place the wrapped butter sticks in a zip-top bag and place it in a bowl of warm water. I do this with the eggs too. If the water isn’t too hot it can be THE PERFECT way to get “room-temperature” ingredients.

Homemade Biscoff Cookies

Why do the ingredients need to be at room temperature?

Room temperature ingredients help to ensure that everything blends together perfectly. You don’t want any pockets of unblended butter. You want everything evenly disbursed for the perfect texture.

When your dairy products are at room temperature, they can create an emulsion. It’s essential to have an emulsion because air gets trapped, so the baked goods expand and get fluffy as it bakes.

Mocha Cream Pie

By Kleinworth & Co 20 Comments

Hello all my sweet friends! The other day I was going through my stack of recipes trying to plan out what I would make for the coming week. I came across an old favorite that I knew I had to make right then & there. Does that ever happen to you? Just stumble across something you haven’t made in a while & you abandon all other plans because you remember just how tasty it is. Yep- that was me the other day. I used to make this super easy cream pie all the time – only I would add various things to it to change the flavors. This time I had a little Mocha Iced Coffee in the fridge & I thought how good it would be to make a Mocha Cream Pie. I mean – hello!! Iced coffee in a creamy pie – yes please! Plus it’s so easy that it certainly fits with my plan to bring you all super simple recipes until fall. If you love easy no-bake desserts and iced coffee – this is the pie for you.

Mocha Cream Pie

I keep this International Delight Iced Coffee on hand almost all the time. I love having some in the afternoons when I start losing steam & all I really want to do is abandon the studio & take a nap. I love that it’s easy for me to grab some iced coffee & have a couple moments for ME before having to get back to all the hustle of the day here.

Mocha Cream Pie

Don’t worry – there isn’t enough iced coffee in there to keep you from having this for dessert.

It’s just enough to give it that great mocha flavor.

I don’t want to wait for after dinner – I like to have it for a mid-day treat. 🙂

This is one of the easiest no bake desserts you can make.

Nutter Butter Fudge

By Kleinworth & Co 11 Comments

You all- I was so bad the other day. I made fudge. But not just any fudge. I wanted white chocolate & peanut butter. Sometimes an idea will pop into my head & I can’t shake it until I finally make whatever it is & get it our of my system. I don’t typically make fudge mid year. I usually make it around the holidays & this year I even made some at Easter. It was my mom’s “thing” which has now turned into my step-dad’s thing. But she never made white chocolate fudge. So that has become the one thing I have added to the fudge recipe list. This Nutter Butter Fudge is your favorite white chocolate fudge & packed full of crushed Nutter Butter Cookies. It’s peanut butter & white chocolate heaven if you ask me.

Nutter Butter Fudge

Oh my heavens. You have to make this!!! It’s phenomenal. I just love love love peanut butter cookies like Nutter Butter (sometimes with my morning coffee…shhhh, don’t tell anyone) & adding them to a nice thick piece of fudge just makes my heart go pitter-patter!!

I love having donuts with my coffee on the weekends. Unfortunately it doesn’t happen all that often. Which I suppose is good for me but I still want them.

We have a pretty good donut shop here close to the house. The problem is they are usually cleaned out pretty quickly. So unless I can convince the hubs to get out the door & pick some up as soon as we get up at 5 – it’s slim pickin’s once we get there.

But when I do get there on time I always pick the Oreo-topped chocolate donuts. So since I can’t always get over there I decided to make my own Oreo Cake Mix Donuts & you know what?? They were SO GOOD!

3-ingredient Blackberry Cobbler

Yesterday I promised you that I would dedicate these warm months ahead to taking things back to simple. I know that I don’t want to spend a whole lot of time in the kitchen or working on prep for anything when it’s warm & gorgeous outside.

We have spent so much time working on our yard & house that I want to be out enjoying it. But I want to enjoy it while having a delicious treat after a long day. So I whipped up this Simple Blackberry Cobbler with just 3 ingredients I always have on hand – popped it in the oven for about an hour & we had an amazing dessert.

The kids were loving it because they absolutely freak over blackberries. I’m loving it because it’s easy, quick & oh so yummy. What could be better??

3-ingredient cobbler

Simple Blackberry Cobbler

I’m definitely in full “simple” mode. It’s like once the temps got high enough that I pulled out the flip flops & lost the sweatshirt – I wanted things to get less complicated.

I mentioned that I have so many things on my list for the house this summer. Literally, have projects to last until fall. So with all that time spent doing that (which I love because I love making my house more personal for us) I have less & less time to be making treats. But I still want them – I just have to be more creative & make them more streamlined.

Here are some commonly asked questions

Do I have to thaw the berries first?

Yes- please thaw them and pat them dry before continuing with the recipe. Frozen berries tend to cook out a lot more moisture – so the cobbler may be soggier when using frozen vs fresh.

How to store leftover cobbler

I like to cover the dish and keep it in the refrigerator. Since this recipe is best when warm, just serve in a microwave-safe bowl or plate and microwave for 1-2 minutes or until hot.

Can I use another flavor of cake mix?

Yes, absolutely, that will work just fine. I have used white, yellow, and even chocolate when I didn’t have a box of vanilla.

Can this be made with canned fruit?

I have not tried it with canned berries, like a pie filling. But I have made this with canned peaches (drained) and that turned out fantastic.

Blackberry Cobbler recipe

Ingredients for Blackberry Cobbler

  • blackberries – thawed and patted dry
  • french vanilla cake mix
  • clear soda

Tips for finding the best blackberries

  • buy local whenever possible – this will give you the best/freshest berries
  • look for black or dark purple all the way to the top. If there is pink or lighter color at the top – the berries aren’t quite ripe yet
  • visit a pick your own berry farm – these make for a great family experience. The kids love it.
  • shop the farmers market – the next best thing to pick your own, still local and fresh – with all the work cut out for you
  • if you live in a place where blackberry bushes are in abundance (Pacific Northwest) I strongly recommend stopping by the corner fruit stand and picking up a flat of berries.

What to serve with a blackberry cobbler?

Because we typically serve this cobbler at a potluck – we usually like to pair it with all our favorite grilling dishes. Anything we would serve at a backyard bbq is the perfect main or side dish to this cobbler. Here are some of our favorites…

Products I love when making blackberry cobbler…

Simple Blackberry Cobbler

This Simple Blackberry Cobbler couldn't be any easier to make. With just 3 ingredients & 1 hour & you have this simple & quick dessert recipe that all will love.
Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time1 hour
Total Time1 hour 5 minutes
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Keyword: 3-ingredient, blackberry, cobbler
Servings: 10

Ingredients

  • 24 ounces frozen blackberries thawed and patted dry
  • 1 box french vanilla cake mix
  • 16 ounces clear soda such as Sprite or 7-up

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Lightly spray a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Spread the blackberries in an even layer over the bottom of the prepared dish.
  • Add the dry cake mix over the top of the berries.
  • Slowly pour the soda over the top of the cake mix making sure you moisten nearly all of the dry mix. This will give you your crust.
  • DO NOT STIR – if you stir you will have a top more like a cake- not a crust.
  • Bake for 45-60 minutes. Watch closely after the 45 min mark – allow it to brown on top but every oven is different and you don't want it to burn on top. If you want it really brown you can broil the top for a couple of minutes.
  • Remove & allow to cool slightly before serving. We prefer ours with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top.

Dark Chocolate and Almond Dump Cake

By Kleinworth & Co 6 Comments

Oh my word! The other day I finally decided to whip up a dark chocolate and almond dump cake. It had been a good long while since we have had any cake in the house & by golly, it was time!

I added a few extra toppings to what was calling me at the time & wham…. here we have Dark Chocolate and Almond Dump Cake. It was then I realized that I had never shared this recipe with you. If you have never made a dump cake before then you are in for a treat.

I mean just 3 simple ingredients & whatever toppings & mix in’s you choose & you are rockin’ & rollin’. After just a few bites I decided that I was really liking the sheer ease in which this cake came together & I knew I had to snap a few pics to share here.

Golden Cookies & Cream Bars : Yummy Bar Recipes

By Kleinworth & Co 19 Comments

Oh you guys!!! I have another one of my Yummy Bar Recipes to share with you all today. You see, while the hubs was recovering from his surgery I was doing the shopping. Normally that doesn’t happen & so the only things that end up in the pantry are the things on the list. Those things on the list are usually only the things we are actually needing. When I go to the store I am reminded of all the wonderful things available out there & because of this those wonderful things usually end up in my cart. Sooooo, you could say I lost all control in the cookie aisle. I brought home nearly ever variety of Oreos & I was finding that I needed to do something with them before they went stale. Soooooo I created some seriously good treats. I’m so excited about these Golden Cookies & Cream Bars because they are like a krispie treat – only remove the krispies & replace them with crunched up golden Oreo cookies. Yep – they are incredible & taste SOOOO good.

Cake Batter Oreo Cheesecake Dessert

By Kleinworth & Co 30 Comments

This Cake Batter Oreo Cheesecake Dessert is the perfect no-bake treat to get you through the warm months. Cake batter Oreos & creamy cheesecake flavor is heaven.

It’s that time of year when I really have some fun with no-bake desserts. I love goodies that I can whip up in a few minutes- pop in the freezer & wow the family with later after a great day of grilling.

My hubs took one bite & looked at me & said “if you make this again I’m going to be 500 pounds”. He’s not a huge sweets guy & can usually find something about each recipe that he’d change in some way. Not this one- he loved it all! I love it when I can make something that he falls head over heels for.

Cake Batter Oreo Cheesecake Dessert

We have some fun gatherings planned for the coming weeks if we can actually pull it off with our schedules.

I can’t wait to make this to share with all our friends.

I think it took me all of about 10 minutes to put this together – and that included cleaning the mixer bowl afterward.

no-bake treats

Cake Batter Oreo Cheesecake Dessert

Here are some commonly asked questions

How to store this cheesecake dessert

This recipe is best when kept in the freezer. I do recommend taking it out to sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes or so before serving. Once you have served your portions, place it back in the freezer until you are ready to enjoy again.

Can I use different toppings?

Yes, you can add any of your favorite toppings that you desire. Crushed candies, chopped nuts, dried fruit and so much more. I used the remaining cookies, but you could add so many of your other favorites including pieces of frozen cake or candy bars.

What are the best sprinkles for this recipe?

This is important – just because the package says “sprinkles” doesn’t necessarily mean that it is in-fact sprinkles.

I see a lot of people using colored sanding sugar that is labeled as sprinkles.

This will not work as well because when that sugar gets wet – like when mixed into a moist dough, stuck in ice cream, or when placed in the refrigerator or freezer, it will sweat & the color will bleed out.

Cake Batter Oreo Cheesecake Dessert

Ingredients for Cake Batter Oreo Cheesecake Dessert

  • cake batter Oreo cookies
  • butter – melted
  • cream cheese – softened to room temperature
  • cold milk
  • granulated sugar
  • instant pudding- cheesecake flavor
  • whipped topping or stabilized whipped cream
  • rainbow sprinkles

Can I use another flavor of pudding mix?

Yes, absolutely, that will work just fine. If you don’t have the cheesecake flavor, any other flavor will do for this recipe.

What can I make with rainbow sprinkles?

Cake Batter Oreo Cheesecake Dessert

How to Make Cake Batter Oreo Cheesecake Dessert

  1. Crunch up 2 out of the 3 rows of the Oreos & spread them out in the bottom of a 9×13 dish.
  2. Pour the melted butter over the top of the cookies.
  3. In a large mixer bowl, beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy.
  4. Slowly add in the milk, sugar, and dry pudding mix & mix until combined.
  5. Slowly fold in the whipped topping.
  6. Pour the mixture over the crushed cookies in the pan.
  7. Crunch up the remaining cookies & sprinkle them over the top.
  8. Add a generous amount of rainbow sprinkles.
  9. Carefully transfer to the freezer and freeze for several hours to set before serving. The mixture will be thin and will splash if you move too quickly – so just be cautious when moving it to the freezer to firm up.

Can this recipe be made ahead of time?

Yes, because this recipe is kept in the freezer until ready to serve, you can actually make this up to 2 weeks ahead of time if you like. Just be sure to cover tightly with plastic wrap and keep it airtight so it doesn’t form a freezer bun on it while you wait to serve it.

Toasted Coconut Flourless Brownies : Yummy Bar Recipes

By Kleinworth & Co 29 Comments

With all the different issues with food intolerance these days, it’s great when we can find alternative ways to enjoy our favorite things. Take brownies for example. Years ago if you wanted to cut out white flour- brownies were on the “no-no” list. I have been playing with different flourless brownie recipes for a while trying to find one that met everyone’s want list. Many are made with black beans but I would rather not use them in my brownies because that seems to create other issues for other people. Hard to please everyone these days. These Toasted Coconut Flourless Brownies are one of the best rich & fudgy Yummy Bar Recipes.

SNICKERS® Peanut Butter Snack Mix

By Kleinworth & Co 3 Comments

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #WhenImHungry #CollectiveBias

I work long hours here. Between keeping the daily household stuff going & punching in 80+ hours a week in the studio AND homeschooling the kids – it’s easy to get so wrapped up in what I’m doing that I forget to break for food. It happens all the time.  The hubs will come home & I’ll mention that I’m hungry for dinner. He’ll ask what I’ve eaten for the day & when I think about it – it turns out nothing but my coffee way back at 5 am.  That’s not good because not only is it bad for me to go without food for that long but I really morph into some other person when it gets to that point. So I came up with this easy SNICKERS® Peanut Butter Snack Mix that I can keep on my desk to encourage me to at least nibble through the day.

SNICKERS® Peanut Butter Snack Mix

I picked up SNICKERS® Peanut Butter Squares at Walmart to add to my mix.

I like having peanut butter because it gives me the protein that I need to stay satisfied.

SNICKERS® Peanut Butter Snack Mix

I also picked up SNICKERS® Almond because it’s a long time favorite of mine.  You could use either in this recipe.

These definitely help keep me on a more even keel.

When I’m out of sorts I don’t work well & I definitely get more done when I’m feeling great.

For those times when I’m stuck in the waiting room of say the doctors office – for sometimes nearly 2 hours beyond our appointment time… I keep a couple single bars in my purse.  It really helps when we are out & need to eat but can’t get to a place to pick something up.  I’m definitely the hero of the day when I can pull one of these out & bye bye hunger.

Bunny Fudge

By Kleinworth & Co 25 Comments

Hello my friends! With St. Patty’s Day behind us I now I am really looking forward to Easter. Last year I shared this Bunny Fudge recipe over at Or So She Says but I never had the chance to share it with you all here before the holiday came & went. It’s amazing how quickly the content train rushes on through the holidays. I’m already thinking of Memorial Day in the back of my head. 🙂 Yep – I did just say that. Maybe it’s because the summers here are absolutely GLORIOUS & I always look forward grilling season. Easter is a great way to kick off those fabulous months with happy colors, fresh & light recipes & new life all around.

Bunny Fudge

I love the ease of this recipe – just 4 simple ingredients & this fudge is done!

Bunny Fudge

White chocolate fudge is still a novelty for me. My mom was the fudge queen but it wasn’t until these last couple years that I was able to perfect her recipes. Rarely did she ever make white chocolate fudge. I always grew up with the idea that fudge was a Christmas time sort of recipe. Then I entered the blogging world & realized that fudge is a year round thing that should truly be embraced. I’m all for fudge year round! Why not?!

Berry Medley Crumble Bars : Yummy Bar Recipes

By Kleinworth & Co 14 Comments

Hellooooooo everyone! Are you ready for some more Yummy Bar Recipes?. We have had such a mild & unusual winter here in our area that it’s felt like spring for what seems like forever. So I couldn’t resist to start the berry recipes early. I have already shared several here & today I’m bringing you another. I have been in bar making mode like crazy – I’m sure you have noticed. I decided to take a medley of 4 types of berries & use them in my favorite crumble bar recipe. These Berry Medley Crumble Bars are the favorite & didn’t last long at all. They are already requesting me to make them again.

Berry Medley Crumble Bars

I used blueberries, strawberries, raspberries & blackberries. I love this combo because it’s a nice blend of sweet & tart mixed with the buttery goodness of the crumble. Mmmmm- I’m tellin’ ya – you will love these.

Berry Medley Crumble Bars

These keep really well for several days if refrigerated. If you want to leave them at room temperature – I recommend keeping them for no longer than 24 hours. They are always a hit when I give them on a platter as a housewarming gift for new neighbors

Easter Pudding Cups

By Kleinworth & Co 16 Comments

Easter…it will be here before you know it!! I love making fun little treats with my kids. It’s sort of a tradition. We start brainstorming on little goodies we can pop together for a cute little Easter treat. Sometimes it can get pretty elaborate & other times it’s just something so simple & yet adorable. The key here is that my kids & I create them together & we try to make at least one idea from each person. So in our brainstorming I thought it would be fun to create little mini “Easter basket” treats. We used some ingredients we almost always keep on hand this time of year. We came up with these Easter Pudding Cups that made everyone smile- even the hubs.

Easter Pudding Cups

It all sort of started while I was walking through Walmart waiting to pick up prescriptions for the hubs. I thought I would find some snacks that would not only be easy for him to eat while propped up in bed but that would also make him smile too. He definitely needs smiles through the day & when I came across one of his favorite things- Snack Pack pudding cups – in SUPER size – I had to pick them up.

Easter Pudding Cups

I knew I wanted to make them look like a mini version of the Easter baskets I make for the kids each year. I like to have the chocolate bunny in the center & all the candies piled around it in the basket. So I gathered similar candy to make it happen.

Easter Pudding Cups

The kids helped me with the new Easy Open lids & didn’t mind licking the extra off since it tastes so yummy! The munchkin helped me with the bakers twine by holding the cups while I wrapped & tied. Like I said- creating these together is the main goal.

Easter Pudding Cups

Once you have the cup decorated with the twine just add your candies – simple!!

Easter Pudding Cups

The hardest part is not munching on the candy before the pudding cups are put together. It’s awfully tempting to snack through the process. But they did their job! They gave the hubs the smile I wanted & the kids had a great time helping me. They also enjoyed the process of polishing them off once I was done capturing them too. It’s a rough job when you get to snack on all the things I like to make. I don’t hear any complaints.

Lemon Cheesecake Bars

By Kleinworth & Co 6 Comments

Do you like no-bake goodies? I sure do. I have been promising the family that I would make more cheesecake recipes since summer. I had just whipped up some homemade Raspberry Marmalade & the hubs made sure to tell me that he missed out on the last batch so he wanted to be sure to get some of this one. I started thinking of things I could make that he could enjoy some of it with. I decided that this was as good a time as any to make some Lemon Cheesecake Bars to add to my list of Yummy Bar Recipes. Lemon cheesecake topped with raspberry – oh my, it’s like a little helping of spring right there on your plate.

Lemon Cheesecake Bars : Yummy Bar Recipes

This made 12 small servings. So it worked out well for each of us to have 1 piece for dessert for 2 nights. It also meant that the hubs got 2 pieces each night. That’s fine – I made it for him & cheesecake is one of his favorite treats. So I was pleased he wanted more than one.

Chocolate Almond Cake Mix Bars

By Kleinworth & Co 7 Comments

I sure love altering our favorite recipes. I make a whole lot of Yummy Bar Recipes for the family & so I’m always looking for ways to improve upon them or make them so we can enjoy them more often. I came up with these Chocolate Almond Biscotti Cake Mix Bars by substituting a higher calorie ingredient for a fat free & sugar free version that has less calories too. You can’t even tell they are lower calorie & the added flavor of Chocolate Almond Biscotti to these cake mix bars is just divine.

Chocolate Almond Cake Mix Bars

You know I’m all about moderation when it comes to the things I eat.  I love to indulge – however I figure if I make little changes to my recipes to make them a little better for me, then I don’t have to feel so bad about enjoying some every now & then.  So you see – I made one little switch in these cake mix bars & shaved off some calories. I removed the usual 51 calories in 1 tbsp of heavy cream I would have used in this recipe. I used International Delight Fat Free & Sugar Free Creamer in it’s place.  The best part is it’s Chocolate Almond Biscotti flavor – you can’t get that from heavy cream.

Chocolate Almond Cake Mix Bars

Just look at all that wonderful chocolaty goodness topped with almonds.

Marshmallow Popcorn Bars : Great for Family Movie Night

By Kleinworth & Co 5 Comments

This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Universal Pictures, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #BoxtrollsFamilyNite

I love family movie night. When we updated out media room we did so with family movie night in mind. My favorite thing to do is whip up one of my favorite Yummy Bar Recipes, like these Marshmallow Popcorn Bars & curl up on the chaise with the family all there with me & enjoy a good flick. I find that the more I spend time in the office, the more time I crave with the family – especially on the weekend. We try to cram so much into our days that it’s those times when we can really just enjoy each other’s company that I think we all cherish the most.

Marshmallow Popcorn Bars

If you follow me on Instagram then you saw a while back I shared my most recent shopping pick for movie night- The Boxtrolls Movie DVD paired with the 10 count Pop Secret movie theater butter.

Marshmallow Popcorn Bars

I love making some great popcorn mixes to enjoy during quality family time. This time I decided that I really wanted to do something a little different & make the popcorn into bars. I love marshmallow & popcorn together & so it seemed like a great idea to make it into a bar that we could all just grab one at a time – no bowl needed.

Marshmallow Popcorn Bars

These were absolutely delish. I love the addition of trail mix – a little popcorn & nuts with some raisins & chocolate chips – you can’t beat that. I usually have plain popcorn for lunch everyday. It’s going to be really hard to not want to do this version instead.

Marshmallow Popcorn Bars

My son was the first to dive in – look at all that gooey marshmallow!

Marshmallow Popcorn Bars

We had a great time & enjoyed the movie. We are always looking for great ways to continue our conversations with our kids centering around making good choices no matter the circumstances. Boxtrolls was one of those movies that helped us do that & lead to some great family discussions.

I would love for you to pick up The Boxtrolls Movie DVD & some Pop Secret at Walmart & come on over & share your experience with me. (while supplies last)

Chocolate Walnut Cookies

By Kleinworth & Co 4 Comments

Hello there all my wonderful friends! Are you in the mood for some cookies? How about some soft & chewy chocolate cookies with walnuts in them? Yeah- I thought so. I can always go for a super good cookie like these Chocolate Walnut Cookies. I tested this cookie recipe on the hubs who is very picky about cookies & he was blown away! All I heard was “WOW- now that’s a good cookie!” So I knew I had to share it with you all here so you can WOW everyone too.

Chocolate Walnut Cookies

Are you on the pudding cookie bandwagon? The first time I made cookies with pudding it turned me into a total convert. It definitely changes the whole cookie- for the better. I always find myself gravitating back to my pudding recipes.

Chocolate Walnut Cookies

I recommend making a double batch if you can. These lasted just under a day in our house.

I decided that since it’s clicking down to Valentine’s Day I would make these in the shapes of hearts & kisses. So cute & perfect for a little Valentine’s Day party or a special little gift for your sweetheart. I know my hubs sure loves wintergreen. So whenever I can make treats with that flavor he’s sure happy.

Cream Cheese Mints

You can shape them however you like with any piping tip that is your favorite. Normally I would use a star tip on my piping bag – but I thought making them in the shape of hearts & “kisses” would be cute.

Dulce de Leche Shortbread Bars

By Kleinworth & Co 6 Comments

I think I’m on a shortbread kick here. I mentioned before that I kept meaning to make some shortbread through the holidays but never got around to it. So I was whipping up some Yummy Bar Recipes & came across a jar of Dulce de Leche in the freezer that needed to be used. It was just calling for me to make these Dulce de Leche Shortbread Bars. The light buttery flavor of the shortbread combined with the richness of the dulce de leche. Heaven – absolute heaven.

Dulce de Leche Shortbread Bars

Like I mentioned yesterday – shortbread is so easy to make. It takes just a couple ingredients & you are in business. I love that this recipe does call for an egg while my recipe I shared yesterday does not. So depending on your mood, ingredients on hand or a food allergy- you have something for everyone.

Dulce de Leche Shortbread Bars

The hubs is always so amazed that I think of recipes that I want to make & I can just go in the kitchen & make them. I just tell him that it’s the benefit of having a well stocked pantry. I buy most everything in bulk so that when the mood strikes I always have whatever I could possibly need at that moment. He just thought I was hoarding food I guess. Now he understands why I do what I do. 🙂

Valentine Shortbread Bars

By Kleinworth & Co 10 Comments

What do you think of shortbread cookies? I love their light buttery flavor. Add to that some chocolate – or how about some white chocolate too & maybe some M&M’s & then you have these super cute Valentine Shortbread Bars. Yup – that’s what I’m talking about. They definitely belong on my Yummy Bar Recipes list. Mmmmm mmmmm! Maybe you have a little Valentine gathering coming up for the kids. Or possibly a church pot luck. Or maybe you just like to surprise your family with a little treat on Valentine’s Day. These are perfect for that.

Valentine Shortbread Bars

The ease of shortbread bars is fantastic. I mean – eggless is great. That means I can eat the dough- which I am known to do more often than not. Do you eat cookie dough too? The hubs gives me grief every single time. But I do it with every batch of dough I make – eggs or not. I can’t help myself – I grew up doing it. It was what my mom & I would do. Sort of like the little treat before the treat. I have very fond memories of those special times with my mom – many of them center around baking with her. More often than not those memories involve eating raw dough or batter. So it’s great with shortbread because I can just say “no eggs – no problem”. Hehehe – gotta love that.

Red Hot Kisses & Hugs Cookies

By Kleinworth & Co 5 Comments

Hello everyone!!! Are you ready for February? Can you believe we are actually talking about February? WOW! So are you starting to think of a fun & cute little treat you can make for Valentine’s Day? I have just the thing…Red Hot Kisses & Hugs Cookies. These are so easy with a classic shortbread but then cut into x’s & o’s & sprinkled with red hots – well that makes them the perfect Valentine treat.

Red Hot Kisses & Hugs Cookies

Do you love shortbread cookies? Oh I sure love them. I had them on my list of things to make all though the holiday season – I never had a chance to make them. So having them mixed with red hots for Valentine’s Day pretty much makes up for that- don’t you think?!

Red Hot Kisses & Hugs Cookies

You could make these 2 – ways. Either mix the red hots into the dough & then they are inside the cookie – which I did here. Or you can place them in the top of the cookie once it’s done baking but still hot. Because I chose to mix in- it made the red hots melt & some of them oozed out onto the pan. This wasn’t all bad. It made the cinnamon flavor of the red hots disburse through the cookie more. But if you want a more uniform look- add them immediately after removing from the oven. That’s probably what I will do with these on future batches.

Kit Kat Oat Bars

By Kleinworth & Co Leave a Comment

From the looks of things around here I have been on quite an oat kick lately. That’s okay. Oats are so versatile. You can make them super healthy or really go all out with them & make an amazing treat. I have mentioned before that I like to keep everything in moderation. That means that just because I’m sharing healthier recipes with you to kick off the new year – I’m not abandoning my favorite goodies. I’m just keeping them more for the weekends now. One of my favorite little things to make are these Kit Kat Oat Bars. No bake- whip together in minutes – well that has my name all over it.

Kit Kat Oat Bars

These literally come together in just moments. I love that they are no bake – because it takes that big ol’ oven a while to heat up. So if I’m baking I try to make it worth my while & do a few things at a time when it’s on. But I don’t always have the time for that & that’s where these come in.

Kit Kat Oat Bars

The hubs can mention that he’d like a treat while we are having dinner. I can whip these up before I do the after-dinner clean up & pop them in the freezer (instead of the fridge- to chill faster) while I wash dishes. They are set & ready to enjoy by the time I’m ready to relax.

Homemade Granola Bars

By Kleinworth & Co 6 Comments

I think many couples are at opposite ends on various different things – some small, some huge & some really don’t matter. One thing for the hubs & I – granola bars. He absolutely LOVES those crunchy granola bars that come in the little 2 pack & are all filled with that sweet honey flavor. Me- I really could take them or leave them. I’m more of a “if I’m going to eat a granola bar – I want it to be soft & chewy & packed full of chocolate chips” sort of person. Well – in my little list of nice things I’d like to do for the hubs has been the task of making him Homemade Granola Bars. The plan- make them just like he loves & then toy with the recipe to figure out how to make my perfect granola bar later. So this past week – that’s exactly what I did. He was BEYOND THRILLED.

Homemade Granola Bars

Once in a while I make something that has him so over the top excited that I can completely change his tune about the store bought version. These granola bars are one of those things. He was quite impressed that I was able to make them & in his words “make them better than the store bought ones” he loves so much.

Homemade Granola Bars

The kids loved them too. I did have one- for quality control you know. Don’t tell him – but I was pretty impressed myself & will probably enjoy a few before they are all gone. Don’t get me wrong- I’m still on a mission to make my version of perfect. But these really are quite tasty.
