Comfort Classics: Better-than-Mounds-Bars
Our Cashew Nut Clusters really are better than Mounds Bars! You get the same holy trinity of dark chocolate/coconut/nuts but without the corn syrup and preservatives, and we up the game by using high quality dark chocolate, cashews instead of … Continue reading
Recipe: Cake Cookies
Our cake cookies are not made from cake mix like this appealing recipe, but actual leftover cake of the type that is often found around the holidays. It’s best to use a cake with some body to it or else … Continue reading
Recipe: Chili Crisp Ice Cream
Spicy Chili Crisp is the Sichuan condiment that’s taking the world by storm (our world anyway). It’s crunchy and flavorful without being overly hot, and has a bonus picture of a grumpy housewife on the label. What could be better? … Continue reading
Recipe: Coconut Macaroons
Coconut macaroons are really easy to make if you start with Eagle brand sweetened condensed milk. This recipe is just sweet enough, not overly sweet like the macaroons that taste like candy; I’m adding them to my holiday cookie rotation. … Continue reading

Recipe: Leftover Halloween Candy Snack Mix
What to do with your leftover Halloween mini-candies? Turn them into Leftover Halloween Candy Snack Mix! This is a modification of an original recipe we referenced awhile back from Momofuku Milk Bar maven Christina Tosi. Makes 4 cups. Ingredients: 2 … Continue reading
Recipe: Maple Apple Butter
When windfall apples are all over your yard and you have a gallon of maple syrup in the pantry, you make Maple Apple Butter. The long caramelization plus the mystery spice (it’s cardamon) produce a grown-up cousin to applesauce. Spread … Continue reading
Recipe: Joy Balls
Joy Balls really do taste quite a bit like Almond Joy candies. I started with this paleo recipe but rolled them in coconut at the end to dress them up a bit. Makes about 1 1/2 dozen balls; three is … Continue reading
Recipe: Cashew Coconut Clusters
This Cashew Coconut Clusters recipe originates with the diabolical Dr. Ludwig, but I am appropriating it because his method for melting the chocolate (just mix it in with the other ingredients on the baking sheet) doesn’t work at all. Makes … Continue reading
