If you’ve ever wished you could recreate Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls, Girl Scout Thin Mints, Auntie Anne’s Pretzels, or Starbucks Cranberry Bliss Bars, I have a collection of recipes that will help.

Rather than being dependent on going to mall for my fix, waiting for seasonally-available treats to come along, or over-paying for storebought, I came up with at-home, copycat versions of the real thing.

Included are 25 of my Favorite Copycat and Restaurant Knock-Off Recipes, and some fun DIY recipes, like making vanilla extract or peanut butter, which save money and taste far better than storebought.

1. Overnight Buttermilk Soft and Fluffy Cinnamon Rolls – My ode to Cinnabons, and I prefer these to the real thing

2. Baked Vanilla Donuts with Vanilla Glaze – The baked version of a Krispy Kreme

3. Ritz Cracker-Stuffed Peanut Butter Cups (No-Bake, Vegan) – I like adding crackers for added crunch along with salty-and-sweet, or try this recipe for classic Peanut Butter Cups (No-Bake, Vegan, GF)

4. Peanut Chewy Payday Bars

5. Cranberry Bliss Bars – Starbucks Copycat Recipe and the reader feedback on these has been extremely positive

6. Old-Fashioned Butter Mints (no-bake, gluten-free)

7. Homemade Little Debbie Star Crunch (no-bake)

8. Soft Buttery One Hour Pretzels (vegan) – Faster and easier than going to the mall for Auntie Anne’s or Wetzels Pretzels

9. Outback Steakhouse Wheat Bread (vegan) – Copycat Recipe for the soft, brown bread many steakhouses like Longhorn and Outback serve. I don’t eat steak but I do love this bread

10. Little Debbie Cosmic Brownies – My favorite homemade brownies, ever

11. Twinkies

12. Butterfinger Bars (No Bake, Vegan & GF options) – Make in less than 5 minutes in the microwave

13. Homemade Baileys Irish Cream – Make in the blender in 1 minute

14. Homemade Cinnamon-Sugar Graham Crackers

15. Samoas Bars (Vegan & GF options) – The flavors of the Girl Scout classic cookies combined in easy-to-make bars rather than fussy, layered, multi-step cookies

16. Homemade Vanilla Extract (vegan, GF) – A truly work-free recipe. Just wait it out

17. Homemade Ginger Ale (vegan, GF)

18. 10-Minute Homemade Hot Fudge (GF)

19. Homemade Peanut Butter (vegan, GF) – Make in minutes in your food processor. Once you try homemade, you’ll never want storebought

20. Homemade Cookie Butter (vegan, GF) – Very similar to Trader Joe’s Cookie Butter or Biscoff spread

21. Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Granola Bars (no-bake, vegan, GF) – Better than Quaker Chewy Granola Bars and ready in minutes

22. Hot Pepper Jelly (vegan, GF) – Like Trader Joe’s Hot Pepper Jelly, which is sometimes only seasonally available

23. Pumpkin Spice Latte (vegan, GF) – Starbucks Copycat Recipe

24. Thin Mints (vegan, no-bake) – Make in minutes and they’re a dead-ringer for the original

25. Orange Push-Up Smoothie (GF, can be kept vegan) – Tastes like an Orange Push-Up, in smoothie form
