The Best No Bake Cheesecake!

My favorite no bake cheesecake recipe!

Why go the no bake route? Because you don't even have to turn on your oven during these hot summer months, and because this version is easier to make. No water bath required (like a traditional cheecake) and no tending to it, it just sets in the fridge.

I think you'll also love to switch things up for a change from the heavy and dense cheesecake to something with more of a light and airy with just enough body to it.

When you pair this sweet cream cheesecake with a fresh summery strawberry sauce or blueberry sauce you create the ultimate flavor pairing. You will truly be savoring each and every bite!

If you wanted to make it even easier you could use a can of blueberry, raspberry or cherry pie filling - but for the tastiest cheesecake bars possible I highly recommend making it fresh.

Brownie bites are the perfect treat to make for parties or just for a quick baking project for when the chocolate cravings strike.

You'll love not only their chocolate decadence but also their ease of preparation, and they only require a handful of simple ingredients. Plus no mixer is required and they bake up quickly. No waiting 40+ minutes for a full size pan of brownies!

Of course you can opt to serve them plain on their own, but my personal favorite is to upgrade them with a sweet cream cheese frosting finish. It's a crowning highlight that is reminiscent of that cookies and cream flavor pairing.

These are fun to decorate various ways with sprinkles festive to a specific holiday or celebration (see the Halloween version below topped with pumpkin candy decorations), or top with a Hershey's candy cane kiss during the Christmas season and a peppermint frosting. A fun summer option is to finish them off with a raspberry.

Lots of options for these fun tempting little treats!

Decadent Carmelitas

If you like buttery oatmeal cookies, dark chocolate, and sweet caramel you will be smitten with these over-the-top treats!

It's an indulgent three desserts in one. So in other words you'll find them to be completely irresistible.

They are soft and chewy thanks to that oaty cookie base, then you'll find some fudgy chocolate goodness in the center, and they're highlighted with velvety creaminess thanks to that caramel candy.

Let the baking season begin early with these tempting Carmelitas cookie bars!

Pumpkin Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting

A simple treat that makes enough for a small crowd or dessert you can enjoy throughout the busy week. These pumpkin bars are one of my favorite things to make this time of year!

They have the perfect medium density to them. I switched from oil to butter, and cut back on the leavening and the eggs from 4 to 2 (vs. the traditional recipe).

They have just the right level of sweetness. We use a combo of caramel-like brown sugar and granulated sugar. Then of course powdered sugar for the frosting. This is a dessert after all.

And you'll find they have plenty enough spice and pumpkin flavor. I'm not a fan of pumpkin recipes that try to use just a little pumpkin for a chewy texture or something. You might as well just make a spiced dessert and not even waste that can of pumpkin.

Then of course what would they be without that dreamy frosting? It's a decadent finishing touch that really leaves everyone craving more.

You'll love how easy these are to make, plus they freeze well too.

I think they ought to be the first thing on the fall to do list this year!

Classic Scotcheroos Recipes

Scotcheroos are simple treat and a nostalgic childhood favorite! The recipe was made in 1960's by the Kellogg's company. The recipe was first printed on a cereal box and has gained popularity from there.

They are a super easy, no bake treat that consists if eight basic pantry staples. They are a rather sweet bar that's balanced with the salty flavor of peanut butter and rich depth of chocolate.

People of all ages love these! They are one of those deliciously addictive treats so plan on sharing.

What is a Nanaimo Bar?

Some of you are likely asking, what are Nanaimo Bars? They are a popular Canadian confection, basically a layered bar cookie, that to me tastes very similar to a richly chocolaty, loaded fudge. They are named after the west coast city of Nanaimo, British Columbia.

They consist of 3 layers, a cracker crumb and chocolate base, a custard flavored icing and then they're finished with a chocolate coating.

The instructions for these treats may appear to be long and tedious but these tasty treats are surprisingly super simple to make. They are a no-bake bar, after all.

After one taste you'll be wondering where these delicacies have been your whole life!

What do they taste like?

To me they are reminiscent of fudge, or an Almond Joy - but much better of course. It's something about the chocolate, almond coconut combo. A great combination!

These are one of my favorite all time favorite childhood treats. My mom and everyone else I know always made them. They're just one of those old fashioned classics!

They are perfect for parties because they make a full cookie sheet, and adults and children alike absolutely love them.

I mean, who doesn’t love the chocolate and peanut butter combo, and who doesn’t love cookie bars and frosting?

I made them yesterday and it’s one of those things where I kept going back and cutting off a thin slice, then another, then another and then I woke up for breakfast at it was the first thing I just had to have a taste of.
