Back this week with another no-bake treat for you…and another rice krispie bar recipe! (If you missed my last recipe, check it out here.) If you’re not a rice krispie treat fan, sorry — I’ll have something different for you next month. But for now, let’s dig into these chocolatey, marshmallowy, nutty, ooey, gooey, bars.

Strawberries and Cream Rice Krispie Bars (Small Batch)
Summer is alllllmost here. The days are long, the sun is shining, the grass is green, and the flowers are starting to bloom. I wouldn’t say it’s exactly warm, but considering I live in the frozen north, it’s pretty darn close. Anyway, with the summer sun comes the need for no-bake recipes (which is convenient, because the oven in my new house kind of sucks…but I digress). So for those days when it’s too hot to turn on the oven (or when your oven doesn’t work the way it should), I’ve got a few new no-bake recipes coming for you over the next couple of months. First up: these Strawberries…

Homemade Dark Chocolate Marshmallows
Happy almost-Christmas everyone! It’s been a weird holiday season, with no snow in sight here in Northern Minnesnowta. But there’s nothing like a pile of delicious seasonal treats to get you in the holiday spirit, right? I know marshmallows might not be on your list of typical holiday treats, but, honestly, they should be. Especially these homemade Dark Chocolate Marshmallows. Marshmallows Are the New Cookies If you’ve been following along on this blog for a while, you may have noticed I’ve become a little obsessed with homemade marshmallows. Case in point, the three other marshmallow recipes I’ve already created: Some would call this a “problem;” I prefer to call it…

Rosewater Marshmallows
Ok, I can already hear you thinking, “flowery marshmallows? Really??” And I get it — it’s a little unorthodox. But I love floral scents and flavors in baked goods. Plus, I’ve enjoyed rosewater in meringues before, so I thought, “why not put it in marshmallows?” And boy, am I glad I did! If you’ve ever had Turkish delight, you’ll have a general understanding of the flavor profile of these ‘mallows. They don’t have the pistachios you often find in Turkish delight, however (though sprinkling some chopped pistachios on top is a great idea). But their pink hue and the hint of rosewater in them is definitely reminiscent of that tasty…

Salted Brown Butter Rice Krispie Bars
Boy have I got a treat for you, my friends. I’ve been working on this one for a few weeks, and in that time I have eaten a LOT of Rice Krispie Bars! (I have to say, it wasn’t the worst thing in the world.) If you’re a fan of soft, marshmallowy Rice Krispie bars, nutty brown butter, and sea salt, you’ll love this recipe. Let’s make Salted Brown Butter Rice Krispie Bars! If At First You Don’t Succeed… For the longest time, I couldn’t make a decent Rice Krispie bar to save my life. I made damn good cookies, great cakes, and amazing pies. But Rice Krispie bars had…

Dark Chocolate S’mores Cookies with Smoked Sea Salt
Spring has sprung in Duluth, though we’re not quite out of the woods for snowstorms yet (we often get blizzards in April!). Still, I’m already dreaming of summer – sunshine, green grass, sandy beaches, long wooded walks, and s’mores around the campfire. I love a perfectly toasted marshmallow (or even a burnt one, I’m not that picky). On its own it’s delicious enough, but add some melty chocolate and graham crackers and I’m in heaven! Since it’s not quite campfire season, I decided to create these dark chocolate s’mores cookies to tide me over until summer. And oh boy, are they good! These cookies are rich and fudgy with chocolate…
