Samantha Favorites
LEMON BAR BUTTER CAKE
The cake of everyones dreams- the best spring & summer dessert that will have everyone at your dinner parties raving about. A butter cake topped with lemon bar filling is exactly what this is. A butter, moist, soft lemon cake (instead of your typical shortbread crust) with a gooey lemony, zesty, sweet, delicious lemon bar
S’MORES CAMPFIRE KRISPY TREAT BARS
Rice Krispie Treats are everyone’s favorite past time snack. I remember the first time I ever made homemade rice krispie treats with my grandma, one summer, and the sticky, crunchy, crispy contrasting textures with every bite was so delicious. Adding different flavors and cereal to come up with to enjoy was always the best part.
RED VELVET BROWNIES (SMALL BATCH)
My favorite dessert, and quite honestly my go-to dessert that I make more often than not are…. brownies. Since they are a rich decadent dessert that is extremely fudgy and full of chocolate flavor; I am always looking for ways to make them more interesting and add different elements – textures, add-ins, flavors, colors etc.
MOLTEN LAVA ESPRESSO BROWNIE PUDDING
March 15, 2023
I am not quite sure what could be better than a molten lava cake mixed with a nice gooey brownie; but this just may be the best chocolate lovers dream. It is almost as if brownies were extra gooey like pudding lava cakes. Growing up if a restaurant had a lava cake on the menu,
CHOCOLATE BUTTER CAKE
March 10, 2023
If you have never had a southern style butter cake, you are truly missing out. Typically they are vanilla based but I made this one chocolate with a hint of espresso coffee flavor, and it is delicious! Basically, it is a extremely moist cake that is light & fluffy; once taken out of then oven,
PECAN PIE BROWNIES
December 19, 2022
If you love pecan pie and brownies than these will satisfy all your dessert cravings because this is the best of both worlds! I am not a huge fan of many types of nuts but these brownie pecan pie bars are delicious. Pecan pie is this nutty, caramel like, sugary base tossed together with some
BROWN BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
December 16, 2022
This was the very first cookie recipe that I had ever come up with and it, of course, involved brown butter. There is just something about browning the butter that I just cant help when it comes to all types of cookies and brownies; as a matter of fact just about anything can have that
S’MORE CUPCAKES W/ TOASTED MARSHMALLOW
December 12, 2022
I know I am constantly posting and creating s’more desserts but let’s be honest here for a second, they are absolutely the best, especially, like these, when everything in homemade, down to the marshmallows. I am always thinking of ways to incorporate s’mores into a dessert and these are perfect for a friends birthday, friends
NEW YORK STYLE BAGELS
December 6, 2022
New York Style Bagels, where do I even begin? Bagels, much like croissants, are the epitome of the best breakfast ever. They are quick and easy to bring on the road in the morning, toast it, put some cream cheese, or make it a little more gourmet with meat, egg and cheese, peanut butter and
DOUBLE CHOCOLATE BLOSSOM COOKIES (HAZELNUT TRUFFLES)
November 29, 2022
I love blossom cookies simply because anything with peanut butter and chocolate combined is just the biggest weakness. These also are an extremely versatile cookie in the sense that they can pretty much be created to have any flavor and topper. I thought what better way than to create a double chocolate cookie and add
