Thank you Trudeen, and I appreciate knowing that you’re enjoying my recipes! Have a lovely holiday season as well!
I can’t thank you enough!! I love baking but don’t have time like I used to. Finding this site was a huge blessing and huge time saver for me. Thank you for sharing.
I don’t think any of us have as much time as we used to! Glad my site has been helpful :)
I’ve made so many of your recipe, both sweet and savory—all wonderful! And your photographs are amazing. How do you slice your bars so perfectly? Is there a trick (Utensil? Technique?) to getting a super clean line that allows people to see every layer of goodness in your desserts?
Thanks for making so many of my recipes and the compliments! To get a super clean line, I always line pans with foil, lift dessert out using the foil and place it on a cutting board, and use a very large and very sharp knife. Takes some practice but not that hard :)
Hi Averie….! i like your idea and recipe. Really i have enjoyed your recipe, and your dessert looks soooo good and incredible. Thanks for sharing……..!
I want to make one of each!
Happy Thanksgiving :)
Stunning desserts as expected. Just wanted to let you know that I made your Snickers Chocolate chip cookies and they were amazing. I used Milky Way and M & M’s instead. You nailed it on the cornstarch and the 8 minute baking mark. Great advice!!! It was the first time my super critical mom (it is what it is) complemented anything I made. She said they were delicious! And I’m almost 40 so that’s a big deal for my self-esteem. Haha.
I am glad those cookies were able to win your mom over :) That’s a great feeling at any age, but especially now in life! Happy Thanksgiving :)
Great round up! I could have one of each and have difficulty picking a favorite. I love that these are all no bake–nothing can accidentally get a little too done around the edges! Have around wonderful Thanksgiving!
Accidentally having things get a little too done around the edges is my specialty when I am multitasking LOL. So these are perfect! Happy Thanksgiving :)
