I first made these PB cups over the summer. I am proud to say that I haven’t made them since, but man, oh man, I’ve thought about them often…and I think now is the perfect time to give in and indulge! Homemade Peanut Butter Cups (Adapted from Fat Girl Trapped in a Skinny Body) …

This is probably the one dessert I miss MOST from my gluten-eating days. All hope is not lost, however…I could always use a gluten free cake mix…you know, as soon as gluten free cake mixes don’t cost three times the amount of the “regular” ones. These German Chocolate Coconut Bars were shared with me …

Today’s recipe is pure evil. Because it’s pure heaven, and you won’t be able to stop eating it, that’s why. Thank goodness for Pinterest for expanding my treat experience! This is another recipe I found on the famous pinning site, and I’m oh, so glad I did. And also so sorry I did. …
