Cinnamon Sugar Donut Holes by Carolinaheartstrings

My second favorite thing after a donut is of course the donut hole. The perfect, one mouthful bite of deliciousness! This recipe is a basic recipe that you could easily add any flavoring to.

Peanut Butter Cream Pie by Carolinaheartstrings

This peanut butter cream pie is made extra yummy by having a chocolate cream base and a meringue topping. It’s a little bit more work than some of the recipes I’ve posted but it is well worth it. And hard as it is to resist, it is best when left to set up and then cool completely in the refrigerator.

Carrot Raisin Cookie Bars by Carolinaheartstrings

I love baking from scratch - sometimes the more ingredients the better. Other times not so much. This cookie bar recipe uses a cake mix to cut the prep time and turns out like you slaved in the kitchen! It’s moist and chewy and hard to resist.

I got this recipe from Giada's Food Network show. She recommends it for breakfast, but it's so good I would eat it anytime. Or all the time is good too!!!

Homemade Bailey's Irish Cream by Micheline

Made my own version of the classic Bailey's Irish Cream. This is the perfect recipe to sip a delicious spiked up cup of coffee during the cold winter months. It is a lot cheaper than buying the real Bailey's Irish Cream and tastes as good, if not better, because you can adjust the recipe to your own taste. Warning: This recipe…
