Brown Sugar

Caramel Frosting

by 1 Comment

Caramel Frosting can be used for frosting many different recipes and it’s quick to make, using brown sugar, vanilla, half & half, butter and powdered sugar.

I initially made this recipe to frost my Zucchini Muffins but it can easily be used to frost cupcakes, cakes or donuts. It’s a very versatile frosting. I will be honest, I could eat JUST the frosting, I don’t really need something to put the Caramel Frosting on.

Apple Crescents

by 2 Comments

Apple Crescents is a crescent roll with brown sugar sprinkled on it and then you wrap an apple slice in the middle, bake it and it becomes a caramel dripping, delicious dessert.

While the Apple Crescents bake the apple becomes soft. It’s important to use a semi-soft apple, like a Macintosh or Empire, this will ensure the apple softens and melts in your mouth.

This would be a great after school snack for kids or a weeknight dessert for the family. I would even eat them for breakfast, your options are endless!

Cookie Dough Brownies

by 6 Comments

Cookie Dough Brownies starts with a fudge brownie and then is topped with a cookie dough layer and to make them even better, another layer of chocolate.

As promised in my post for Chocolate Chip Brownies, here is the recipe for Cookie Dough Brownies. This is the perfect recipe to dress up a brownie, not that a brownie needs to be dressed up, but once in awhile it’s nice to have a more decadent brownie, and this is it. I have made these multiple times for bake sales and they are always a hit. So, the next time you make brownies, take the extra few minutes and make this recipe, you won’t be disappointed.
