Salted Caramel Chocolate Fudge Cookies

Posted on January 27, 2014

These giant cookies are fudgy and chewy in the center but perfectly crisp around the edges.  The salted caramel enhances the flavor to create a well-balanced treat. When I originally came up with the recipe for these cookies, I thought I might end up with a chocolate cookie that came out of the oven with…

Salted Caramel Oreo Bars

Posted on January 23, 2014

These sweet and salty dessert bars are packed with an Oreo crust, chocolate, pretzels and salted caramel.  You won’t believe how easy these are to make. Of all the salted caramel recipes I’ve made, these are by far the most dangerous. The first time I made them, Matt joked about how ugly they were and…

Salted Caramel Sheet Cake

Posted on January 20, 2014

This salted caramel cake is light and fluffy with a rich salted caramel buttercream and salted caramel sauce infused into the cake. I made this cake on Christmas Eve.  Matt and I had no plans so it was definitely a dangerous move, one large cake, two people.  We probably did more damage than I care…

Fudgy chocolaty brownie bites topped with an extra special buttercream are a fun mini dessert for any occasion.

Cookie Butter & Salted Caramel Cookie Sandwiches

Posted on August 5, 2013

These speculoos cookies are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.  They are delicious on their own, but the salted caramel buttercream puts them over the top. I made these cookies a few weeks ago, and while I froze some extras, I may or may not have eaten them straight from the freezer. …

Salted Caramel & Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream Bars

Posted on July 17, 2012

I may be on vacation this week eating and drinking my way through Napa, but I’d still stop everything if I had more of these ice cream bars to eat.  These Salted Caramel and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream Bars were an upgrade or shall I say “how can I make an amazing dessert…

It is so obvious that she and Logan are going to be amazing parents. Deciding…

Salted Caramel and Brownie Cheesecake Bars

Posted on November 17, 2011

This dessert has been haunting me since it came out of the oven.  I took photos yesterday morning and it was all I could do not to devour the entire pan, sliver by sliver.  These cheesecake bars are not for me so unfortunately (or fortunately) I was forced to keep my mouth shut after a…

I’m kind of obsessed with caramel lately, especially when there is salt involved. Ever since I made these bars a few months ago, caramel has been on the top of my list for delicious dessert ingredients.  There is something about the rich flavor and silkiness that keeps you going back for more.  After seeing this…
