A nostalgic summer-time treat that can be enjoyed year round thanks to your indoor oven!

S'mores have long been a favorite treat of mine. They were one of the first things I learned to make as a kid. Slowly and carefully roasting them in a rotisserie art sort of way over the hot coals of campfire during the summer. Then in the winter over the coiled burner of an electric stovetop, and at times I may have even settled for a melted marshmallow quick zapped in the microwave to make them.

One method many of us have been missing out on is this simple broiled option on a baking sheet. And might I add toasting the marshmallow on two sides of course not just one as other guides have shown.

There are many things to love about this simple oven method of making s'mores. You'll get the same golden brown toasted goodness without being campfire cooked, you still get that ooey gooey fluffy melty marshmallow sweetness along with its pairing of rich luxurious chocolate, and crisp honey kissed graham crackers to hold it all together.

And bonus, you can make many at once versus making one or two on a roasting stick! I've listed out 6 servings but make up to 12 at time if you'd like.

These are perfect for when the cravings strike without all the hassle of packing up and venturing into the outdoors to build a campfire. They are beyond easy and always a popular favorite!

Rice Krispie Treats with the Best Ratios

Rice Krispie treats were first made back in 1939 by Malitta Jensen and Mildred Day at Kellogg’s company for a fundraiser. They’ve lasted for generations as such a popular treat here in the U.S.

And for good reason. These are one of the easiest, quickest treats you can make and they only require 3 simple ingredients you make likely already have on hand. Plus they are inexpensive.

Then of course there's the fact that people of all ages love them. Sometimes if I don't know what to bring to a party I just go with rice krispie treats and I rarely return home with any left.

Rice Krispie treats were actually one of the very first things I learned how to make. And since then it's probably a bit crazy how many times I've made them (definitely in the hundreds).

My version (or I should say my Mom's version, she taught me how to make these) uses the same ingredients as the classic, I just use different ratios.

We are talking more marshmallows and more butter! It makes them deliciously sweet and chewy, and perfectly rich and buttery!

Once you try them this way you'll likely never look back! These addictive treats are just too good!

Rice Krispies Treats in Festive Tree Shapes

I don't know who liked these more, my kids or me. Probably me because they totally took me back to being a kid.

I mean how could they not?

They are made using the classic Rice Krispies treat recipe that we all love, but instead of the classic squares they are tinted green and shaped into cones, then covered in sprinkles.

So basically a total upgrade :).

A Heavenly Chocolate Pie

The filling is just made up of a few basic ingredients - chocolate chips, marshmallows, butter, milk, cream, vanilla. You know all the good things in life.

You don't need to chop chocolate, you don't need to gently heat or whip any eggs as in many mousse recipes, and you don't eve need to make a pie crust!

I decided if we are going the Oreo crust route what's the point in homemade right?

Watch the Video!

So you see, this is definitely the pie you want to try this year right. Along with my Pumpkin Pie and Crumb-Topped Apple Slab Pie of course :). People need options, and three slices of pie on Thanksgiving.

If you've got people that love chocolate in your family they will go crazy over this pie. I know because I'm obsessed with chocolate and I was swooning over every single bite!

It's fluffy. It's rich. It's oh so chocolatey. It's sweet. It's creamy. To sum it up it's basically pie perfection.

Peppermint Hot Chocolate Cookies

Are you guys getting sick of all the cookies recipes I'm sharing yet? Well hopefully not because I still have another to share and who knows, maybe even more after that.

It's what the first few weeks of December were made for right? Cookies cookies cookieeeees!

Perfect for the Holidays!

I love making a variety of cookies during the holidays and there always need to be a chocolate cookie of some kind right?

I've had hot chocolate cookies on my to-do list for probably the last 4 years and I've finally gotten around to trying them.

But I decided to add a peppermint twist to them because I love the chocolate and peppermint combination.

A Rich Chocolate Flavor

I love that the base for these cookies is packed with chocolate. Not just cocoa but a lot of chopped chocolate.

It gives them a rich flavor and a chewy, fudgy texture. They're almost like a brownie cookie.

Like Mississippi Mud Cake in Cookie Form

One thing these cookies really remind me of is Mississippi Mud Cake. It's that chocolate base, marshmallow and chocolate icing combination.

I think I'd also love these cookies drizzled with chocolate in place of the icing.

Don't get me wrong the icing is delicious but next time I might try chocolate. The more chocolate the better, right?

Try them Melty and Warm!

Just be sure to enjoy a few of these cookies warm. They are of course still good for a couple of days but they are total perfection when you ice them warm from the oven and eat a couple right away - they're more like hot chocolate that way too.

This is just straight up goodness in cookie form my friends and you don't want to miss out on these Peppermint Hot Chocolate Cookies!

Your busy holiday weeks need a break, so take a breather and make a batch of cookies.

Rice Krispie Treats in Fun Pumpkin Shapes

No matter how old you are rice krispie treats never get old! I still make them all the time for a quick treat and I’ll never get sick of them.

Here I’ve made them into a fall-inspired treat that both young and old alike will love! Whenever I take them to a Halloween party or Thanksgiving dinner they disappear in no time (ugh and I can never stop at just one).

I’ve mentioned in the recipe if you are making them for adults I’d use the marshmallow fondant, then for kids use the green airheads as pictured.

S'mores Cookie Cups

I made these three times to get the perfect cookie base and I think it's safe to say I couldn't make them any better!

I learned a few things along the way, like for instance if you let the cookie batter rest for 5 minute before baking the cookies shouldn't collapse as much, if at all, in the center once removed from the oven (so they had a better structure. If they do fall a little it's not big deal at all because they are covered with marshmallows) and they didn't seem quite as greasy.

Still perfectly buttery and moist but the little bit of resting time I think allows for the graham cracker to absorb some of the butter before they bake so it doesn't start out an over-buttery batter (if that makes sense).

Watermelon Rice Krispies Treats

We are huge Rice Krispie treats fans around here (and we're always adding in extra marshmallows!).

And can we talk about the fact that it's actually Rice KrispieS treats with an "s"? We've never said it that way. It just doesn't sound right.

It won't really matter what you call these tempting chewy treats though. They are so delicious!

The Best Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe!

This sweet potato dish has the best of everything and just the right amount of contrast with its creamy sweet potatoes, a sprinkle of gooey melty marshmallows, and that finishing crisp you get from the cornflakes and crunchy pecan topping.

Simply put this casserole is heavenly! It deserves a spot on your holiday menu, right next to the turkey!

Who know the word casserole and heavenly could ever go together in the same sentence but it just does with this one. Try it and see for yourself! It might just become a family favorite for your family too!

Eggless Chocolate Mousse

Desserts are usually the saddest complaint I hear from vegan, dairy-free, or gluten-free friends. They crave eggless dessert recipes, tricks, and swaps for ingredients that can give them delicious treats that meet their dietary restrictions. Eggless baking can get you cookies, cake, cupcakes, or brownies are ok, but I think this chocolate mousse takes the cake!

Secret Ingredient

This easy chocolate mousse is so quick to make, it doesn't call for raw eggs, and it doesn't have to chill for hours to set. The secret ingredient in this mousse - marshmallows.

I adapted this recipe heavily from Nigella Lawson and it is totally genius! No one even notices the marshmallows in it, not that they are a bad thing but definitely not the first thing you'd want to pick up on in a chocolate mousse. I love making mousse from scratch, but sometimes the shortcuts are a better choice!

Mostly they just offer a light and fluffy texture and simple, sweet flavor and they leave plenty of room for the chocolate flavor to shine. Plus, they are what makes this mousse quick to set.

This mousse is going to be my go-to chocolate mousse recipe from now on! It has the perfect amount of chocolaty richness, its texture is fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth perfection, and it's just divinely decadent. You'll want to lick the bowl!

Well worth the splurge on occasion! My sister who isn't even much of a chocolate fan couldn't put it down, and my mom, a chocolate fanatic fully approved. Mission accomplished.
