Sugar Cookie Strawberry Pies + Behind the Scenes Tip

This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Wet-Nap®, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #ConquerTheMess

These Sugar Cookie Strawberry Pies are the perfect alternative to a traditional homemade strawberry pie. Sugar cookie cup, strawberries & drizzled with glaze, then topped with whipped cream make a delectable treat. Psst… I’m also sharing a few behind the scenes pics on how I clean up after a messy shoot like this.

Look at these. Little mini strawberry pies made with sugar cookie cups. So good.

Putting together yummy treats like these can be really messy though. I’m constantly touching the food to position it just right. In this case the whipped cream kept sliding off the tops of the strawberries. I adjusted it more times than I can count before I decided to just let it be.

This is the aftermath of drizzling all that strawberry glaze on top of each one. It’s a STICKY MESS! I usually keep a wet washcloth near by for wiping my hands & cleaning up spills & things like this. I don’t want to have to keep running down the hall to wash my hands every time I touch the food.

But now I have a much better solution! Did you know that these Wet-Nap® Cleansing Wipes are perfect for this sort of thing? (I picked them up at Walmart) I can have the package right there in the studio with me all the time. It has an easy open/close top to keep them perfectly moist for whenever I need one. I sooooo love that they have just enough cleaner in them so my hands aren’t sticky before I pick up my camera again for the next shot. I can tell you – I would be lost without these!

Visit Walmart for all your Wet-Nap® needs: 110-Count Hands, Face, & Body Cleansing Wipes, 24-Count Packettes Antibacterial Hand Wipes and 40-Count Canister Antibacterial Hand Wipes (while supplies last)

These are positively delicious & worth all the mess they made so I could share them with you all here today.

You are going to want to make these with all those wonderful summer strawberries available right now!

Caramel Macchiato Poke Cake

By Kleinworth & Co 9 Comments

This Caramel Macchiato Poke Cake is an easy dessert idea you will love. Light & fluffy white cake, added caramel macchiato iced coffee soaked in & topped with whipped cream & drizzled with caramel -scrumptious.

Friends – I have recently become addicted to poke cake. Yep- it had been a really long time since I made one, until about a month ago. I found my old recipe & fell in love all over again. Oh my word. So since they are so easy to make I have made a few more since that time. But I finally created one that I couldn’t wait to share with you all.

I decided to take a little bit of my Caramel Macchiato iced coffee to use as the drizzle & boy was I happy about that.

It turned out INCREDIBLE. I so love caramel macchiato iced coffee. I typically just enjoy a glass when I’m on the go in the busy part of my day for a quick pick-me-up. But you know how I love to incorporate coffee into all sorts of other things & this was perfect.

So now in the few moments between dinner & jumping back into chores & work & everything else in the evenings I can have a a moment with a piece of cake. It certainly makes that part of the day something to look forward to.

Once cake is cold top with whip topping in a smooth even layer
Drizzle with caramel sauce & enjoy

White Cornmeal Shortbread Bars

By Kleinworth & Co 1 Comment

White Cornmeal Shortbread Bars are another yummy bar recipe that you are sure to love. Buttery shortbread topped with sparkling sugar is absolutely scrumptious.

White Cornmeal Recipes

I love making shortbread. All that rich butter flavor in a bar or cookie just makes my day. It’s a favorite of the family too. Which is why it’s a “go-to” recipe when I am preparing things like a nice brunch for us all. I like to make a wide variety of yummy bar recipes & create a nice spread for everyone to pick & choose their desserts along with maybe some tea sandwiches & a few beverage options. One thing about my shortbread recipe that you don’t often see – cornmeal. You won’t believe how wonderful the flavor is with that simple ingredient.

White Cornmeal Shortbread Bars

We like to have our brunch on a Saturday typically so that we can have the rest of the weekend to enjoy the leftovers. This keeps prep for meals later that day & on Sunday to a minimum & that sure makes me happy. When I spend less time in the kitchen on the weekends & it actually feels more like a weekend – instead of a working one.

What’s your favorite brunch recipe?

What could you make for brunch that you could incorporate cornmeal into?

Do you like pairing the flavors of peanut butter & banana? How about adding a little chocolate to that mix? Yeah- it’s pretty good, I have to admit. So I was super excited when I found out that this month for our monthly Peanut Butter Bash the pairing would be banana with our favorite peanut butter flavor. YAY! I had about a zillion recipe ideas come to mind but with the heat settling in for the long haul, I had to go with these super tasty pops.

I mean- who wouldn’t love banana pudding pops swirled with peanut butter & chocolate chips. My kids devoured these in a few moments. Serve, smile, done! That quick!

By Kleinworth & Co 2 Comments

Quick & easy no-bake desserts are everyone’s summer favorite, Like this Easy Patriotic Parfait. It’s perfect for your 4th of July celebrations. It takes just a couple ingredients, minimal prep time & yet still brings BIG smiles! I haven’t met anyone who turned one down.

Looking for a quick & easy treat you can whip up for 4th of July? This super simple patriotic parfait is perfect. Sometimes it’s the easiest things that bring the biggest smiles. I know that my kids get just as much joy from being able to help me make fun little goodies like these as they do actually eating them. That’s the best part – the kids can help with these because there isn’t anything complicated about them at all. I don’t have to watch every step or measure out anything exact. It’s as easy as layer it in & enjoy.

Blueberry Cheesecake Pops

By Kleinworth & Co

These Blueberry Cheesecake Pops are the perfect easy frozen dessert. Delicious cheesecake flavored frozen yogurt swirled with homemade blueberry jam & graham crackers is positively SCRUMPTIOUS.

Are you needing something a cold & refreshing? I thought so. I know that when we lived in the Nevada desert, cool treats were a MUST every single day. I started making them homemade after we realized we were having them all the time (read: multiple times a day) & it was getting expensive. Then after having to continuously buy bigger clothes from all that eating, I started making them a little lighter too. Which is where all the frozen yogurt recipes come in to play. Frozen yogurt is slightly better for you than ice cream, right? At least that’s what I tell myself & the family so I feel less guilt. These blueberry cheesecake pops taste every bit as indulgent as something you would buy in the store.

You will definitely want to enjoy these out by the pool or while putting your feet up after a long day of gardening. If you love blueberries & cheesecake these will be your new favorite dessert. Everyone here is begging for me to make some more.

Coconut Mocha Pops

By Kleinworth & Co

These Coconut Mocha Pops are made with delicious iced coffee, mini chocolate chips, coconut & slivered almonds. They make for a quick dessert idea & a great way to cool down.

I have mentioned before that after so many years of living in the desert, I have become a master at coming up with quick & easy ways to cool down on the hottest days. Because I like treats my ideas usually involve something yummy too. If it’s cold, refreshing & tastes absolutely delicious – then it’s something that we end up making all the time. Huge bonus if it happens to involve just a couple ingredients & very little time to make.

Last month I shared with you my favorite way to kick start my day with my Iced Coffee Protein Shake. Now my new favorite way to end my day is with one of these Coconut Mocha Pops. In the mornings while I’m preparing my protein shake I can take a couple minutes to prep the pops in the molds. Pop them in the freezer & I have a tasty cool treat to share with the hubs after dinner.

You see -each evening after the dinner clean up we head out to the front porch to sit & talk about our day. It’s a way to set aside a few moments for just us, away from the noise of the kids wrapping up the evening cleaning. It’s really hard to relax & have a conversation when there are multiple vacuums going along with trash, dishes & all the other activity. So a few moments outside with a treat is a great way to relax. Do you have little times to connect at the end of your day?

What would you add to your iced coffee pops??

So, if you are looking for a a delicious treat that you can prep in just a couple minutes, you will want to give these a try!!

Candied Disney Popcorn

By Kleinworth & Co

This Candied Disney Popcorn is just like the tasty treat you get at the park. Added Mickey shaped sprinkles make this Disney recipe even more fun for all.

Growing up in the town right next door to Disneyland made it was sort of like my second home. We would go there for dinner, random “hey let’s go to Disneyland right now” & for just about every school event & so on.

All my life it was part of my everyday. I could watch the fireworks from my house. It was sort of magical existence as a kid knowing that it was just right there & I could visit just about any time I wanted.

So now that we live so very far away from there, I’m finding myself trying to make all the fun recipes that I remember growing up. One of which is this Candied Disney Popcorn.

Do you remember the candied popcorn there? Have you ever tried it? It’s a favorite – something I would get every time I went, even if I was just there the day before.

So, of course, I had to make some when I was asked to join in on this Month of Disney event hosted by the awesome Rachel from R & R Workshop. What a fabulous theme!

Here are all the AMAZING bloggers you will find contributing in this event all month long!

YAY! I’m so thrilled to be working with them on this.

Peanut Butter Seven Layer Bars : Yummy Bar Recipes

By Kleinworth & Co

Yummy Bar Recipes are the name of the game! Are you ready for more? These super yummy Peanut Butter Seven Layer Bars are the perfect blend of peanut butter & coconut in a bar – made just for the peanut butter bash.

I am always looking for a recipe challenge. So when the AWESOME Rebecca asked me to join in on the Peanut Butter Bash monthly challenge – I was all in. I love working with peanut butter & even better to try new ingredients along with it. So when the word was out that the secret ingredient for June would be coconut – I was stoked. I love coconut & will find an excuse to add it to many many things. You name it, drinks, main dishes, sides & desserts – coconut is my thing all the time. This go around I made these Peanut Butter Seven Layer Bars to add to my Yummy Bar Recipes list & they are SOOOOOOO GOOD. Can you pass up a seven layer bar? I know I can’t.

These are typically made with butterscotch or white chocolate in this house. So making the swap to peanut butter chips was a great change. Then adding the Rolos on there for not only added chocolate but the caramel too. DIVINE!!! These may be our new favorite way to enjoy seven layer bars. The hub looked at me worried as he tried one on his way out the door for work (yes for breakfast) & he says “I’m going to be 700 lbs if you don’t change what you blog about!” Sorry babe – it’s what I love to do best!

Peppermint Cake Mix Brownies : Yummy Bar Recipes

By Kleinworth & Co

It’s potluck season, which means Yummy Bar Recipes are the name of the game. These Peppermint Cake Mix Brownies are another one of my Yummy Bar Recipes that are also an easy dessert. Just 4 ingredients & you have a delicious treat that you can bring to any party. But you better make a double batch because with just 16 brownies in this recipe, they will be gone in a flash.

Have you ever been craving a brownie so bad that you actually head to the kitchen to make some? Then when you get there you find that you not only don’t have a mix on hand, but that you are also out of cocoa so you can’t even make them from scratch. Yeah – sadly, this happens to me often. I seem to go through certain ingredients & they do make their way on to the grocery list. But somehow don’t make their way into my cart.

One thing I always have on hand though is cake mix. Since it’s great for adding to other recipes beyond making a cake, I have a lot of them. So in doing a little research I found that by changing the measurements of the ingredients you add to a mix, you can actually make brownies with it. WhoooHoooo! Did you know that? I was pretty excited to learn this & had to give it a try myself. These wonderfully delicious brownies were the result.

Classic Vanilla Frozen Yogurt

By Kleinworth & Co

This Classic Vanilla Frozen Yogurt is so incredibly simple to make. With just 5 ingredients & a few minutes prep you have yourself a light & cool dessert. It’s my absolute favorite summertime recipe that I make multiple times a week.

There’s something about a classic vanilla. Whether it be cake or ice cream or in this frozen yogurt. I love a good vanilla every now & again. It goes great with everything – I like to keep it on hand almost all summer long.

When I realized that we were enjoying cool treats nearly every night through the hot months I started tweaking our favorite homemade recipes to make them lighter & better for us. Don’t get me wrong. I can really go over the top when it comes to a dessert. Did you see my Ultimate Ice Cream Float? Yeah – I can really do it up- unfortunately my waistline can’t handle all that so frequently. So for everyday I like to keep it simple. Which is why this Classic Vanilla Frozen Yogurt is a favorite.

It’s so easy – no churn… with just 5 minutes of prep – it’s ready to enjoy in about 4 hours.

Iced Coffee Protein Shake

By Kleinworth & Co 5 Comments

Looking for a few moments to yourself? With the rush of life it can be hard to carve out just 10 minutes of peace each day. But today I’m sharing with you one of my favorite ways to start my day with just 10 minutes before the rest of the house awakens. I make this Iced Coffee Protein Shake, made with delicious mocha iced coffee, frozen bananas & protein powder. A great way to start the day.

Moments to myself won’t happen unless I make them happen, which is why I love the simplicity of this shake. I can pack in breakfast along with my morning pick-me-up. It whips together in the blender in about 30 seconds, which leave me about 9.5 minutes to have some quiet all to myself. It’s not long after that the rest of the family starts emerging from their rooms.

In the summer months when the sun is up around 4:30 – I grab my shake in my travel mug & head out to the porch to enjoy the early morning. I love the warmth of the early morning sun for a few minutes to help get me ready for my day before I head up to the studio.

Plum Clafoutis

By Kleinworth & Co 2 Comments

Plum Clafoutis is one of the easiest desserts I have ever made. It sounds like it would be complicated or difficult. But let me tell you – Cut, toss, blend, bake is all you need to do to enjoy this delicious dish! Easy recipes is where it’s at & this one definitely fits that description! You could even save time & use pre-cut frozen fruit too.

Just look how pretty it is! I love making recipes that look like you spent all day in the kitchen. But with this one it couldn’t be farther from the truth. Clafoutis is a baked French dessert of fruit, traditionally black cherries that are arranged in a buttered dish and covered with a thick flan-like batter. Since I had an abundance of plums on hand I decided to use those instead. But I can’t wait to try it with cherries later on. The clafoutis is dusted with powdered sugar and served lukewarm, sometimes with cream or my favorite ice cream. I keep trying to pass this one off as a breakfast – sort of like a coffee cake. But the family keeps assuring me that it’s definitely a dessert.

Print Recipe

Black Velvet Peanut Butter Parfait

By Kleinworth & Co 6 Comments

Black velvet cupcakes broken apart & layered with peanut butter whip makes a Black Velvet Peanut Butter Parfait. The combination of black velvet & peanut butter whip is positively heavenly. Plus it’s simple to make & so pretty too. Easy dessert recipes that wow the crowd.

So you like peanut butter & chocolate combined? Everyone in this house sure does. So when I had some leftover (not sure how that happened) black velvet cupcakes from another project I was working on I decided to take the cupcake idea out of the norm. You see, I also had some leftover peanut butter whip from some other recipes I was using it in & couldn’t stand to see it go to waste. So I combined the two & created heaven in a glass. It was SOOOOOO yummy!

My little helpers were sure happy to help me “dispose” of them all. They love helping me in the kitchen & the studio- it usually means they get to sample what I’m making. Unfortunately the hubs missed out on these- such a bummer that I suppose I will have to make some more for him. Awwwww – well, I suppose if I have to…….you don’t have to twist my arm on that one.

Reese’s Oreo Popcorn

By Kleinworth & Co 2 Comments

Not a lot of time? Do you like no-bake desserts? Yeah – me too. This Reese’s Oreo popcorn is a simple popcorn recipe idea that is packed full of YUMMY goodness. Reese’s Oreo cookies mixed in buttery salted popcorn & covered with white chocolate. Easy dessert recipes don’t get any better this time of year.

When the weather is nice the last thing I want to do is be in the kitchen all day. But I certainly don’t want to compromise the YUM factor either. This is one of our family’s favorite treats through the warm months, Reese’s Oreo Popcorn. Reese’s & Oreo coming together is already a match made in heaven. But I definitely wanted to take it a step further & make a munchy snack for outdoor movie nights. This is the PERFECT treat for that.

I love making this for a large crowd. Whether you are making a little or a lot – this comes together so quickly so it’s easy to feed the masses. It’s great when we host large BBQ’s or block parties. You could bring it to you next potluck too. Once that weather gets gorgeous & the sun is shining it seems we are always going or hosting some sort of gathering & this definitely takes the stress out of the prep that goes into that. Everyone always comes back for more & I end my day with an empty bowl. Can’t beat that.

Reese’s Oreo Popcorn

Ingredients

8-9 cups popcorn
1-1/2 cups white chocolate chips

Bubble Gum Frozen Yogurt

By Kleinworth & Co 5 Comments

Love those great nostalgic ice cream flavors from your childhood but want to try a slightly healthier version? This Bubble Gum Frozen Yogurt is just the thing. Super easy to make- just mix freeze & enjoy. All the great memories from childhood come flooding back.

What was your favorite flavor ice cream growing up? Mine was bubble gum & when I think of some of my best childhood memories it always involves bubble gum ice cream. You see – when I was really little my mom worked at Baskin’ Robbins. Long after she stopped working there we would stop in to visit every so often. When we would go in the summer- we would always get a couple scoops of bubblegum ice cream.

Well-as much as I love to indulge with ice cream (probably more often than I should) – I do try to choose slightly healthier options for my treats if I can. So when it’s hot I end up making a whole lot of frozen yogurt. There’s a little less guilt involved & it’s so incredibly easy to make.

This Bubble Gum Frozen Yogurt is sooooooo good! For those few short moments I sit to enjoy some I feel like I’m 5 again.

How nice is that?

Print Recipe

Homemade Biscoff Cookies

By Kleinworth & Co 34 Comments

Need an Easy Cookie Recipe? These Homemade Biscoff Cookies taste just like the original packed full of butter, cinnamon & spice & so simple to make too.

Do you love Biscoff cookies? They are SOOOOO good! I finally found some to share with the hubs & he fell in love. So I decided to make my own.

You see, I had the pleasure of trying Biscoff during my years right out of high school when I was globe-trotting. I was hooked then & spent a long time wishing I could find them here in the states.

But then years passed & finally, they were here & I was happy. I would pick them up on occasion when I could find them. Flash forward to a couple of months ago when the hubs had his surgery. I was the one doing the market runs.

It’s amazing what is out there that I didn’t know I could get because I am not the one that does the weekly food shopping!!! So anyhow- while I was browsing each aisle I came across my beloved Biscoff cookies. I bought a couple of packs & this time the hubs gave them a try while he was on bed rest.

He was absolutely in love. They go perfectly with morning coffee now don’t they?! He finally understood what I was so excited about & they were gone in a flash.

Sooooo I figured that since I wasn’t going to buy them in bulk I should make some of my own. After several attempts to get the spice ratios & cooking times right – I finally have the perfect Homemade Biscoff Cookie.

Here are some commonly asked questions

What is the Flavor of a Biscoff Cookie?

Biscoff cookies are a type of speculoos cookie, which is a traditional Belgian cookie. These cookies are made with spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. The result is a cookie that has a deep, rich flavor with a hint of sweetness.

How to store leftover cookies

These Biscoff cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 weeks. If you want them to last longer, you can freeze the dough or the baked cookies for up to 3 months. Just make sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or freezer-safe bags to prevent them from drying out.

What does it mean to cream the butter and sugar together?

Creaming butter and sugar together is key to getting giving structure to your dough so that a cookie is light and fluffy. This is because you are incorporating air into the mix when you beat the butter.

When creaming your butter and sugar together, it is important to make sure that you start with soft butter. Add the butter and sugar to the mixing bowl and mix on medium speed for 2-3 minutes. You want to make sure that you stop when you get firm peaks. Be careful not to overmix because you will end up with an oily mix that fails to incorporate the air you need to make this recipe.

ingredients to make Homemade Biscoff Cookies

What if I do not want to make that many cookies? Can I freeze half of the dough for later?

Absolutely! Most cookie dough will freeze very well. You can expect it to have a frozen shelf life of up to three months before you will need to make another batch.

Why do I need to pack my brown sugar when measuring?

Packing your brown sugar is crucial for making consistent measurements. If you do not pack your brown sugar, you are leaving little air pockets in your measuring cup that will reduce the true amount of brown sugar you are adding to the recipe.

These pockets are never uniform, meaning that scooping without packing will add a different quantity each time. Thus, one should always pack their brown sugar when measuring – even if the recipe does not call for it.

Ingredients for Homemade Biscoff Cookies

butter – room temperature
granulated sugar
firmly packed brown sugar
vanilla extract
all-purpose flour
ground cinnamon
ground nutmeg
ground ginger
allspice
ground cloves
salt
baking soda

Should I use light or dark brown sugar?

Since I make my own brown sugar, I use light brown sugar for almost all of my recipes. But light or dark brown will work in this recipe.

You can also make your own brown sugar with my Homemade Brown Sugar recipe.

How to Make Homemade Biscoff Cookies

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In the mixer bowl, cream the butter, sugar & brown sugar together on low.
Add the vanilla extract.
Slowly add the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice followed by the salt & baking soda & beat until well combined.
Roll out the dough on a smooth surface to 1/4 inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut your cookies into your desired shapes.
Use a thin spatula to transfer the cut dough to a baking sheet – placing approx 1″ apart (they will puff & spread slightly) If you have trouble rolling the dough – chill it for about 30-60 minutes & try again.
Bake in a preheated oven for 13-16 minutes.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool before serving – this is important as they will crisp & set as they cool & then you have the full Biscoff taste & experience.

Do I need to chill the dough before baking?

No, this is a no-chill recipe so you can bake the cookies right away. This is perfect for when you want fresh, warm cookies but you don’t want to wait for the dough to chill.

HOWEVER- that being said, if you have trouble rolling the dough I would recommend chilling it prior to cutting and baking.

It will really depend on the season you are making them – meaning how warm you keep your house. I have noticed that if I make these in the summer and the house is already hot before I turn on the oven OR I am making them while we have the woodstove going – then I will pop the dough in the fridge for a while before working with it.

What is the Texture of a Biscoff Cookie?

Biscoff cookies have a unique texture that is both crunchy and slightly chewy. The outside of the cookie is crisp, while the inside is soft and moist. This combination makes for a delicious cookie that is impossible to resist!

Note – the quantity will depend on the size of the cookie cutters you use. Obviously the smaller the cookies, the more you will get out of this batch of dough.

What do you mean by soft butter?

You will need to take your butter out of the fridge about an hour before you would like to bake the cookies for the butter to soften but not get too soft.

How to soften the butter to room temperature?

First

There are a couple of ways to do this. The first being that you can take the butter (& any other ingredients that need to be at room temperature) out, leave it on the counter for about 30 minutes while you prep for baking.

I usually start with all my chilled ingredients and pull everything I need out onto the counter before getting started – so I know for sure I have everything before I’m mid-way through I realize I’m out of something.

But sometimes it’s winter and that isn’t enough time to get the ingredients warmed up – OR – I’m just not that organized to plan ahead. It happens. So I have another couple of tricks.

Second

I place the butter in the microwave – wrapped in the paper. (don’t do this if it is wrapped in foil) Then I microwave for 2 seconds – flip – go another 2 seconds – flip again – and continue for 2 seconds on each side.

This is usually enough to get it perfect – sometimes stopping before if it feels soft enough. Take care when doing this method – overly softened butter from the microwave WILL ALTER the end result of the recipe. Don’t over-do it.

Third

My third method is to place the wrapped butter sticks in a zip-top bag and place it in a bowl of warm water. I do this with the eggs too. If the water isn’t too hot it can be THE PERFECT way to get “room-temperature” ingredients.

Why do the ingredients need to be at room temperature?

Room temperature ingredients help to ensure that everything blends together perfectly. You don’t want any pockets of unblended butter. You want everything evenly disbursed for the perfect texture.

When your dairy products are at room temperature, they can create an emulsion. It’s essential to have an emulsion because air gets trapped, so the baked goods expand and get fluffy as it bakes.

Mocha Cream Pie

By Kleinworth & Co 20 Comments

Hello all my sweet friends! The other day I was going through my stack of recipes trying to plan out what I would make for the coming week. I came across an old favorite that I knew I had to make right then & there. Does that ever happen to you? Just stumble across something you haven’t made in a while & you abandon all other plans because you remember just how tasty it is. Yep- that was me the other day. I used to make this super easy cream pie all the time – only I would add various things to it to change the flavors. This time I had a little Mocha Iced Coffee in the fridge & I thought how good it would be to make a Mocha Cream Pie. I mean – hello!! Iced coffee in a creamy pie – yes please! Plus it’s so easy that it certainly fits with my plan to bring you all super simple recipes until fall. If you love easy no-bake desserts and iced coffee – this is the pie for you.

I keep this International Delight Iced Coffee on hand almost all the time. I love having some in the afternoons when I start losing steam & all I really want to do is abandon the studio & take a nap. I love that it’s easy for me to grab some iced coffee & have a couple moments for ME before having to get back to all the hustle of the day here.

Don’t worry – there isn’t enough iced coffee in there to keep you from having this for dessert.

It’s just enough to give it that great mocha flavor.

I don’t want to wait for after dinner – I like to have it for a mid-day treat. 🙂

This is one of the easiest no bake desserts you can make.

Nilla Wafer crust, whipped cream, iced coffee & topped with chocolate chips. YUM

Nutter Butter Fudge

By Kleinworth & Co 11 Comments

You all- I was so bad the other day. I made fudge. But not just any fudge. I wanted white chocolate & peanut butter. Sometimes an idea will pop into my head & I can’t shake it until I finally make whatever it is & get it our of my system. I don’t typically make fudge mid year. I usually make it around the holidays & this year I even made some at Easter. It was my mom’s “thing” which has now turned into my step-dad’s thing. But she never made white chocolate fudge. So that has become the one thing I have added to the fudge recipe list. This Nutter Butter Fudge is your favorite white chocolate fudge & packed full of crushed Nutter Butter Cookies. It’s peanut butter & white chocolate heaven if you ask me.

Oh my heavens. You have to make this!!! It’s phenomenal. I just love love love peanut butter cookies like Nutter Butter (sometimes with my morning coffee…shhhh, don’t tell anyone) & adding them to a nice thick piece of fudge just makes my heart go pitter-patter!!

What’s your favorite fudge combo?

Oreo Cake Mix Donuts

By Kleinworth & Co 23 Comments

Oreo Cake Mix Donuts, Moist & light milk chocolate donuts made simply from cake mix & topped with a cream glaze & crumbled Oreo Cookies. Great Breakfast!

I love having donuts with my coffee on the weekends. Unfortunately it doesn’t happen all that often. Which I suppose is good for me but I still want them.

We have a pretty good donut shop here close to the house. The problem is they are usually cleaned out pretty quickly. So unless I can convince the hubs to get out the door & pick some up as soon as we get up at 5 – it’s slim pickin’s once we get there.

But when I do get there on time I always pick the Oreo-topped chocolate donuts. So since I can’t always get over there I decided to make my own Oreo Cake Mix Donuts & you know what?? They were SO GOOD!

PIN THIS TO SAVE FOR LATER

PIN THIS

Yesterday I promised you that I would dedicate these warm months ahead to taking things back to simple. I know that I don’t want to spend a whole lot of time in the kitchen or working on prep for anything when it’s warm & gorgeous outside.

We have spent so much time working on our yard & house that I want to be out enjoying it. But I want to enjoy it while having a delicious treat after a long day. So I whipped up this Simple Blackberry Cobbler with just 3 ingredients I always have on hand – popped it in the oven for about an hour & we had an amazing dessert.

The kids were loving it because they absolutely freak over blackberries. I’m loving it because it’s easy, quick & oh so yummy. What could be better??

3-ingredient cobbler

I’m definitely in full “simple” mode. It’s like once the temps got high enough that I pulled out the flip flops & lost the sweatshirt – I wanted things to get less complicated.

I mentioned that I have so many things on my list for the house this summer. Literally, have projects to last until fall. So with all that time spent doing that (which I love because I love making my house more personal for us) I have less & less time to be making treats. But I still want them – I just have to be more creative & make them more streamlined.

Here are some commonly asked questions

Do I have to thaw the berries first?

Yes- please thaw them and pat them dry before continuing with the recipe. Frozen berries tend to cook out a lot more moisture – so the cobbler may be soggier when using frozen vs fresh.

How to store leftover cobbler

I like to cover the dish and keep it in the refrigerator. Since this recipe is best when warm, just serve in a microwave-safe bowl or plate and microwave for 1-2 minutes or until hot.

Can I use another flavor of cake mix?

Yes, absolutely, that will work just fine. I have used white, yellow, and even chocolate when I didn’t have a box of vanilla.

Can this be made with canned fruit?

I have not tried it with canned berries, like a pie filling. But I have made this with canned peaches (drained) and that turned out fantastic.

Ingredients for Blackberry Cobbler

blackberries – thawed and patted dry
french vanilla cake mix
clear soda

Tips for finding the best blackberries

buy local whenever possible – this will give you the best/freshest berries
look for black or dark purple all the way to the top. If there is pink or lighter color at the top – the berries aren’t quite ripe yet
visit a pick your own berry farm – these make for a great family experience. The kids love it.
shop the farmers market – the next best thing to pick your own, still local and fresh – with all the work cut out for you
if you live in a place where blackberry bushes are in abundance (Pacific Northwest) I strongly recommend stopping by the corner fruit stand and picking up a flat of berries.

What to serve with a blackberry cobbler?

Because we typically serve this cobbler at a potluck – we usually like to pair it with all our favorite grilling dishes. Anything we would serve at a backyard bbq is the perfect main or side dish to this cobbler. Here are some of our favorites…

Simple Blackberry Cobbler

This Simple Blackberry Cobbler couldn't be any easier to make. With just 3 ingredients & 1 hour & you have this simple & quick dessert recipe that all will love.

Prep Time5

Cook Time1

Total Time1 5

Course: Dessert

Cuisine: American

Keyword: 3-ingredient, blackberry, cobbler

Servings:

Ingredients

24 ounces frozen blackberries thawed and patted dry
1 box french vanilla cake mix
16 ounces clear soda such as Sprite or 7-up

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Lightly spray a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray.
Spread the blackberries in an even layer over the bottom of the prepared dish.
Add the dry cake mix over the top of the berries.
Slowly pour the soda over the top of the cake mix making sure you moisten nearly all of the dry mix. This will give you your crust.
DO NOT STIR – if you stir you will have a top more like a cake- not a crust.
Bake for 45-60 minutes. Watch closely after the 45 min mark – allow it to brown on top but every oven is different and you don't want it to burn on top. If you want it really brown you can broil the top for a couple of minutes.
Remove & allow to cool slightly before serving. We prefer ours with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top.

Dark Chocolate and Almond Dump Cake

By Kleinworth & Co 6 Comments

Oh my word! The other day I finally decided to whip up a dark chocolate and almond dump cake. It had been a good long while since we have had any cake in the house & by golly, it was time!

I added a few extra toppings to what was calling me at the time & wham…. here we have Dark Chocolate and Almond Dump Cake. It was then I realized that I had never shared this recipe with you. If you have never made a dump cake before then you are in for a treat.

I mean just 3 simple ingredients & whatever toppings & mix in’s you choose & you are rockin’ & rollin’. After just a few bites I decided that I was really liking the sheer ease in which this cake came together & I knew I had to snap a few pics to share here.

I was happily satisfied with how I was able to knock out my chocolate cake craving too. So it’s my mission this summer to scale things back, break down recipes & simplify things.

I plan on giving you the easiest & most simple versions of my favorite summer recipes – from here until labor day!! Are you ready??!

Commonly Asked Questions

Refrigerator To store the Dump Cake in the refrigerator, cover the cake with plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container. The cake will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Golden Cookies & Cream Bars : Yummy Bar Recipes

By Kleinworth & Co 19 Comments

Oh you guys!!! I have another one of my Yummy Bar Recipes to share with you all today. You see, while the hubs was recovering from his surgery I was doing the shopping. Normally that doesn’t happen & so the only things that end up in the pantry are the things on the list. Those things on the list are usually only the things we are actually needing. When I go to the store I am reminded of all the wonderful things available out there & because of this those wonderful things usually end up in my cart. Sooooo, you could say I lost all control in the cookie aisle. I brought home nearly ever variety of Oreos & I was finding that I needed to do something with them before they went stale. Soooooo I created some seriously good treats. I’m so excited about these Golden Cookies & Cream Bars because they are like a krispie treat – only remove the krispies & replace them with crunched up golden Oreo cookies. Yep – they are incredible & taste SOOOO good.

Oh yes – look at that! I’m telling you – you have to make these!!

I absolutely can’t wait to make these for our next gathering.

Only I will probably double or triple the batch to make sure I have enough!

Cake Batter Oreo Cheesecake Dessert

By Kleinworth & Co 30 Comments

This Cake Batter Oreo Cheesecake Dessert is the perfect no-bake treat to get you through the warm months. Cake batter Oreos & creamy cheesecake flavor is heaven.

It’s that time of year when I really have some fun with no-bake desserts. I love goodies that I can whip up in a few minutes- pop in the freezer & wow the family with later after a great day of grilling.

My hubs took one bite & looked at me & said “if you make this again I’m going to be 500 pounds”. He’s not a huge sweets guy & can usually find something about each recipe that he’d change in some way. Not this one- he loved it all! I love it when I can make something that he falls head over heels for.

We have some fun gatherings planned for the coming weeks if we can actually pull it off with our schedules.

I can’t wait to make this to share with all our friends.

I think it took me all of about 10 minutes to put this together – and that included cleaning the mixer bowl afterward.

no-bake treats

Here are some commonly asked questions

How to store this cheesecake dessert

This recipe is best when kept in the freezer. I do recommend taking it out to sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes or so before serving. Once you have served your portions, place it back in the freezer until you are ready to enjoy again.

Can I use different toppings?

Yes, you can add any of your favorite toppings that you desire. Crushed candies, chopped nuts, dried fruit and so much more. I used the remaining cookies, but you could add so many of your other favorites including pieces of frozen cake or candy bars.

What are the best sprinkles for this recipe?

This is important – just because the package says “sprinkles” doesn’t necessarily mean that it is in-fact sprinkles.

I see a lot of people using colored sanding sugar that is labeled as sprinkles.

This will not work as well because when that sugar gets wet – like when mixed into a moist dough, stuck in ice cream, or when placed in the refrigerator or freezer, it will sweat & the color will bleed out.

Ingredients for Cake Batter Oreo Cheesecake Dessert

cake batter Oreo cookies
butter – melted
cream cheese – softened to room temperature
cold milk
granulated sugar
instant pudding- cheesecake flavor
whipped topping or stabilized whipped cream
rainbow sprinkles

Can I use another flavor of pudding mix?

Yes, absolutely, that will work just fine. If you don’t have the cheesecake flavor, any other flavor will do for this recipe.

What can I make with rainbow sprinkles?

How to Make Cake Batter Oreo Cheesecake Dessert

Crunch up 2 out of the 3 rows of the Oreos & spread them out in the bottom of a 9×13 dish.
Pour the melted butter over the top of the cookies.
In a large mixer bowl, beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy.
Slowly add in the milk, sugar, and dry pudding mix & mix until combined.
Slowly fold in the whipped topping.
Pour the mixture over the crushed cookies in the pan.
Crunch up the remaining cookies & sprinkle them over the top.
Add a generous amount of rainbow sprinkles.
Carefully transfer to the freezer and freeze for several hours to set before serving. The mixture will be thin and will splash if you move too quickly – so just be cautious when moving it to the freezer to firm up.

Can this recipe be made ahead of time?

Yes, because this recipe is kept in the freezer until ready to serve, you can actually make this up to 2 weeks ahead of time if you like. Just be sure to cover tightly with plastic wrap and keep it airtight so it doesn’t form a freezer bun on it while you wait to serve it.

Products I love when making Cake Batter Oreo Cheesecake…

Toasted Coconut Flourless Brownies : Yummy Bar Recipes

By Kleinworth & Co 29 Comments

With all the different issues with food intolerance these days, it’s great when we can find alternative ways to enjoy our favorite things. Take brownies for example. Years ago if you wanted to cut out white flour- brownies were on the “no-no” list. I have been playing with different flourless brownie recipes for a while trying to find one that met everyone’s want list. Many are made with black beans but I would rather not use them in my brownies because that seems to create other issues for other people. Hard to please everyone these days. These Toasted Coconut Flourless Brownies are one of the best rich & fudgy Yummy Bar Recipes.

My hubs literally told me that these were his absolute favorite brownie recipe I have ever made! How about that??!!

SNICKERS® Peanut Butter Snack Mix

By Kleinworth & Co 3 Comments

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #WhenImHungry #CollectiveBias

I work long hours here. Between keeping the daily household stuff going & punching in 80+ hours a week in the studio AND homeschooling the kids – it’s easy to get so wrapped up in what I’m doing that I forget to break for food. It happens all the time. The hubs will come home & I’ll mention that I’m hungry for dinner. He’ll ask what I’ve eaten for the day & when I think about it – it turns out nothing but my coffee way back at 5 am. That’s not good because not only is it bad for me to go without food for that long but I really morph into some other person when it gets to that point. So I came up with this easy SNICKERS® Peanut Butter Snack Mix that I can keep on my desk to encourage me to at least nibble through the day.

I picked up SNICKERS® Peanut Butter Squares at Walmart to add to my mix.

I like having peanut butter because it gives me the protein that I need to stay satisfied.

I also picked up SNICKERS® Almond because it’s a long time favorite of mine. You could use either in this recipe.

These definitely help keep me on a more even keel.

When I’m out of sorts I don’t work well & I definitely get more done when I’m feeling great.

For those times when I’m stuck in the waiting room of say the doctors office – for sometimes nearly 2 hours beyond our appointment time… I keep a couple single bars in my purse. It really helps when we are out & need to eat but can’t get to a place to pick something up. I’m definitely the hero of the day when I can pull one of these out & bye bye hunger.

I picked up those single wrapped SNICKERS® Peanut Butter & SNICKERS® Almond in the checkout line.

Bunny Fudge

By Kleinworth & Co 25 Comments

Hello my friends! With St. Patty’s Day behind us I now I am really looking forward to Easter. Last year I shared this Bunny Fudge recipe over at Or So She Says but I never had the chance to share it with you all here before the holiday came & went. It’s amazing how quickly the content train rushes on through the holidays. I’m already thinking of Memorial Day in the back of my head. 🙂 Yep – I did just say that. Maybe it’s because the summers here are absolutely GLORIOUS & I always look forward grilling season. Easter is a great way to kick off those fabulous months with happy colors, fresh & light recipes & new life all around.

I love the ease of this recipe – just 4 simple ingredients & this fudge is done!

White chocolate fudge is still a novelty for me. My mom was the fudge queen but it wasn’t until these last couple years that I was able to perfect her recipes. Rarely did she ever make white chocolate fudge. I always grew up with the idea that fudge was a Christmas time sort of recipe. Then I entered the blogging world & realized that fudge is a year round thing that should truly be embraced. I’m all for fudge year round! Why not?!

Berry Medley Crumble Bars : Yummy Bar Recipes

By Kleinworth & Co 14 Comments

Hellooooooo everyone! Are you ready for some more Yummy Bar Recipes?. We have had such a mild & unusual winter here in our area that it’s felt like spring for what seems like forever. So I couldn’t resist to start the berry recipes early. I have already shared several here & today I’m bringing you another. I have been in bar making mode like crazy – I’m sure you have noticed. I decided to take a medley of 4 types of berries & use them in my favorite crumble bar recipe. These Berry Medley Crumble Bars are the favorite & didn’t last long at all. They are already requesting me to make them again.

I used blueberries, strawberries, raspberries & blackberries. I love this combo because it’s a nice blend of sweet & tart mixed with the buttery goodness of the crumble. Mmmmm- I’m tellin’ ya – you will love these.

These keep really well for several days if refrigerated. If you want to leave them at room temperature – I recommend keeping them for no longer than 24 hours. They are always a hit when I give them on a platter as a housewarming gift for new neighbors
