The Story Behind the Recipe

Rhubarb Crisp is one of my more nostalgic desserts. My Grandma and Mom both would grow loads of rhubarb in the spring, and once the first stalks were picked, I knew a delicious Rhubarb Crisp wasn’t far behind. I’ve shared a recipe for Rhubarb Crisp in a Jar here in Kitchen Treaty, but I hadn’t yet done one in full crisp form.

Now, my Mom and Grandma always made straight-up rhubarb crisp – I never even tried the strawberry rhubarb combination until adulthood. And there is absolutely a place for a rhubarb-only situation AND one with strawberries!

This crisp is an exemplary example of the combo, which really does work so well together. The sweetness of the strawberries complement the tartness of the rhubarb so well. And so, today I’m sharing Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp recipe that rivals the rhubarb crisps my mom and Gran used to make, but makes me nostalgic nonetheless.

Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp Recipe Ingredients

For the filling:

• Strawberries – You’ll need 1 1/2 pounds fresh strawberries, which amounts to about 4 cups. Take off the tops and cut them in half, or into quarters if they’re large.
• Rhubarb – You’ll want three large stalks, which comes out to about 4 cups sliced. I sliced them into pieces about 1/2-3/4″ thick.
• Sugar – Without it, rhubarb is tart!
• Orange zest & juice – The bright note of citrus really helps highlight the strawberry and rhubarb flavors.
• Vanilla – I am a huge fan of vanilla extract in my fruit crisps, and so I’ve got it in both the filling and the topping for this Rhubarb Strawberry Crisp recipe.
• Flour – A couple of tablespoons of all-purpose flour helps to thicken the filling.

For the oat crumble topping

• Oats – Rolled oats are a must for a crisp topping, in my book.
• Flour – Helps to hold the crisp together and give it body.
• Brown sugar – For rich sweetness.
• Pumpkin pie spice – This is the secret ingredient I was talking about! The combination of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and a hint of cloves just really peps up this fruit crisp topping. You don’t strictly have to add it, but I do highly recommend it!
• Salt – I like to use a fine-grain sea salt in my baked goods.
• Pecans (optional) – Sometimes I like to add some finely chopped nuts to my crisp topping for some crunch and heft.
• Butter – Brings the crumble together and helps make it nice and crispy once it bakes.
• Vanilla – More vanilla because YUM!

Adaptations/Variations

• Gluten-Free Rhubarb Crisp – Swap oat flour for the all-purpose flour in the topping and cornstarch or tapioca flour for the flour in the berries. Use certified GF oats.
• Dairy-Free & Vegan Rhubarb Crisp – Use vegan butter.

How to Make Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp

1. First, you’ll cut up your strawberries and rhubarb. Place them in a large bowl gently stir in the sugar, orange zest, orange juice, vanilla, and flour.
2. Pour the fruit filling into a 9″x13″ baking dish.
3. In another bowl, make the topping. Mix together the flour, oats, sugar, salt, and, if using, the pumpkin pie spice and pecans. Make sure it’s well-combined.
4. Melt the butter and pour it over the top along with the vanilla extract.
5. With a spatula or wooden spoon, stir the melted butter into the crumble mixture until it’s all moistened and holds together when you squeeze it.
6. Evenly distribute the crumb topping over the top.
7. Bake your Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is browned.
8. Remove from oven and let it cool for 15-30 minutes to thicken a bit.
9. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Both heavenly!

Whipped cream is literally – you guessed it – made by whipping cream! But there are a few tips and tricks to know for the best homemade whipped cream, along with a couple must-add ingredients that will make it the best homemade dessert topping you’ve ever had!

The Story Behind the Recipe

I’ve been making homemade whipped cream for years, and as I was whipping up a batch (literally) over the holidays, I thought to myself, “Why haven’t I posted it on the blog?!”

My goal is to have a good balance of inspirational recipes along with the basic how-tos on Kitchen Treaty, so here we are with quite possible the most delicious how-to of all: How to Make Whipped Cream from heavy cream.

Why You’ll Love Homemade Whipped Cream

There’s just nothing that tastes like it! No shade on whipped cream from an aerosol can, it’s just that homemade whipped cream has a lightly sweet, uber creamy flavor and texture that can’t be beat.

Whipped Cream Recipe Ingredients

• Heavy whipping cream – Heavy whipping cream has the most fat, which makes it perfect for whipping into thick, rich, creamy heavenly bliss. Make sure it’s right-out-of-the-fridge cold for the best whippability. Totally a word.
• Powdered sugar – I really like using powdered sugar because it’s lightweight and helps to stabilize the whipped cream. Granulated sugar doesn’t work well for whipped cream because it gives it a grainy texture and also doesn’t keep as long in the fridge.
• Pure vanilla extract – You don’t have to add vanilla, but I do recommend it! Just a touch of extract adds the most wonderful flavor.

Adaptations/Variations

Peppermint Whipped Cream

Swap the pure vanilla extract for peppermint extract. You can even add a drop of red or pink food coloring for pretty color that’s more on theme.

Almond Whipped Cream

Swap the vanilla extract for 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract.

Cinnamon Whipped Cream

Add 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon with the vanilla.

Pumpkin Spice Whipped Cream

Add 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice with the vanilla.

Espresso Whipped Cream

Add 2-3 teaspoons of espresso powder with the vanilla, to taste.

Sugar Free Whipped Cream

Swap in a sugar-free powdered sugar substitute, starting with about half then adding more to taste. I like Truvia.

Chocolate Whipped Cream

Sift in 1/4 cup of cocoa powder, added with the powdered sugar. Double the powdered sugar.

How to Make Whipped Cream

1. Grab a hand mixer and affix the whisk attachment if you have one (if not, standard beater blades will work too). Or, if you have a stand mixer, use that with the whisk attachment. I like using the stand mixer because the bowl is nice and deep and it’s lower effort all-around. By the way, you can totally make whipped cream by hand! It’ll just take some work but it’s totally doable. You’ll want a big bowl and a whisk.
2. Pour your COLD heavy whipping cream into the large mixing bowl (make sure it’s cold too – doesn’t need to be ice cold or anything but make sure it’s not warm fresh out of the dishwasher or anything).
3. Start mixing on low speed, increasing the speed in 20-second increments as the whipped cream begins to thicken. 
4. Once it starts to thicken up, sprinkle in the powdered sugar (3 tablespoons to start) and the vanilla.
5. Continue whipping on high speed until it’s smooth, thickened, and forms soft peaks (lift the whisk out of the whipped cream and if the mix holds peaks for a second or two before falling back in, you’re in a good place.)
6. Taste and if you’d like it a bit sweeter, add another tablespoon of powdered sugar.
7. Continue whipping on high speed for 30-60 more seconds. If you want your whipped cream a bit thicker, you can keep mixing it, but proceed with caution: It can go from whipped cream to basically butter pretty quickly.
9. Serve right away, or you can refrigerate for up to 24 days before using. It’ll keep for about 3 days, but after 24 hours, it might soften/separate and need a little whipping refresh.

Tips for Success

• Make sure your whipping cream is right-out-of-the-fridge cold. Your bowl shouldn’t be warmer than room temp either – you can even freeze it for 10 or so minutes beforehand to help ensure maximum chill.
• When you first start mixing your heavy whipping cream, make sure you start at low speed so that it doesn’t splash anywhere. Nobody wants that!

What to Make with Whipping Cream?

• Top a simple cake with a dollop of whipped cream for a creamy counterpoint. Homemade whipped cream is especially good with Chocolate Wacky Cake or Lemon Cake.
• Pile a mix of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries in a clear glass and top with whipped cream. Fancy yet unbelievably easy! Honestly though any fruit salad would benefit from a bit of whipping cream.
• Top fresh coffee, espresso, or a latte (like this gingerbread latte, iced pumpkin spice latte, or iced matcha latte) with whipped cream for a decadent touch.

Ingredients

• 2 cups heavy whipping cream cold
• 3-4 tablespoons powdered sugar aka confectioner's sugar
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract optional

Instructions

• Pour the heavy whipping cream into a large cold mixing bowl and have a hand mixer with whisk attachment ready, or pour it into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Begin to mix on low, increasing the speed in 20-second increments as the whipped cream begins to thicken.
• Once the whipped cream has started to thicken, add 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar and the vanilla extract.
• Continue whipping on high speed until the whipped cream is smooth and thick, clinging to the beaters when you lift them and forming soft peaks. Be careful not to continue beating after this stage, because the whipped cream can quickly become too thick and clumpy.
• Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 6 hours in advance. For extra fancy presentation, place the whipped cream in a piping bag with a large star tip and pipe it onto drinks, pies, cakes, etc. So pretty!

The Story Behind the Recipe

I have a couple dozen recipes that I published back in 2009 or 2010 on my first blog, called The Hazel Bloom (because I liked green flowers and the words together!) But unfortunately, when I rebranded to Kitchen Treaty in 2012, I lost many of them. I still don’t know what I did, they just went poof! And gone.

So I’ve been slowly re-adding these recipes to Kitchen Treaty – and by slowly, I mean sloooowwwwwly, considering it’s been a decade plus!

Last year, I republished this Saltine Toffee recipe which has proven to be really popular. I know I’m a huge fan – I make it every year! Another cookie I make nearly every year? These Hidden Kiss Cookies! At the time, I called them Secret Kiss Cookies, and you can call them that if you prefer. Either one works!

These Hershey’s Kiss cookies are made with finely ground walnuts in the cookie dough for a super tender cookie. They’re wrapped around a single Hershey’s kiss, then baked until lightly golden and tender.

From there, just dust them in powdered sugar and watch them disappear! They’re tender, melt-in-your-mouth good and so perfect on any holiday cookie plate.

Why You’ll Love Hidden Kiss Cookies

• They’re DELICIOUS. Powdered sugar dusted shortbread style cookies around a big ol’ hunk of chocolate … YES PLEASE.
• They’re cute. They look like little snowballs on the holiday cookie platter.

Hidden Kiss Cookies Recipe Ingredients

• Butter – You’ll want it to be room temperature so that it blends and fluffs up easily.
• Sugar – Granulated (white) sugar.
• Vanilla – Pure vanilla extract adds the perfect touch of mellow-sweet flavor.
• Walnuts – Raw walnuts, cut as small as you can get them. I use my Vitamix blender! Note that even walnut haters can love these cookies. Because I am absolutely a professed walnut hater, but something about chopping them into tiny bits makes them not only palatable but delicious.
• Flour – All-purpose.
• Hershey’s kisses – You’ll need about 30 kisses, which is about 3/4 of a 10.2 ounce bag.
• Powdered sugar – For dusting the freshly baked kiss cookies.

Adaptations/Variations

• Swap pecans for the walnuts for a more traditional Mexican Wedding Cookie approach.
• Use Hugs or another favorite kiss variation. Whatever you love!

How to Make Them

1. First, you’ll want to mix up the dough. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, then mix in the vanilla. Add the walnuts, then the flour, beating on low speed just until the dough forms.
2. Chill for an hour.
3. Scoop tablespoon-size balls of dough and press a kiss into each one, using your hands to form the dough around the kiss in a ball.
4. Bake until lightly golden and set.
5. Cool for about 5 minutes.
6. Dust/roll in powdered sugar, then cool all of the way. And enjoy!

Tips for Success

• Pulverize those walnuts! The finer the better (just don’t process them so much that they turn into nut butter!). A food processor is perfect, or I even just use my Vitamix blender which does the job perfectly.
• Go gently. These tender cookies can be a bit delicate, so be gentle when dusting with powdered sugar.

I hope these Hidden Kiss Cookies are the perfect addition to your holiday cookie platters! They’re always a fave here.

Ingredients

For the cookie dough

• 1 cup unsalted butter softened/room temp
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup very finely chopped walnuts 4 ounces; 1 heaping cup of walnuts comes to about 1 cup ground
• 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 215 grams

For inside the cookies

• 30 Hershey's kisses unwrapped; about 3/4 of a 10.2 ounce package

For dusting the baked cookies

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

Mix dough & chill

• Add the butter to the bowl of a stand mixer affixed with a beater blade or in a large bowl and use a hand mixer. Beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and beat for another 20 seconds or so until well-distributed.
• Mix in the walnuts on low speed, then add the flour and beat on low just until incorporated.
• Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for an hour.

Bake

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Pull the dough out of the fridge and use a tablespoon-sized measuring spoon or cookie scoop to pull out tablespoon of dough, then roll it around each kiss. I like to smoosh the dough just a bit in my palm, stick the kiss in point first, then wrap it around. Or you can press the cookie dough slightly flat, set the kiss on, and wrap it around the top (it's a little easier to make sure the kiss stays right-side-up this way). You have to smoosh it a little to hide the kiss completely. (I keep using the word "smoosh," but it's very appropriate here!)
• Place on an ungreased cookie sheet about 3 inches apart. Bake for 10-11 minutes, just until set and the bottoms are lightly golden brown.

Cool & dust with powdered sugar

• Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about five minutes.
• Add the powdered sugar to a bowl. Gently roll in/dust with powdered sugar and place cookies on a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Cook time includes 1 hour chilling.

Freezer note: These freeze well, so feel free to make them now then save ’em until the big day.

The Story Behind the Recipe

Last year, I shared a recipe for Christmas Chocolate Chip Cookies which is basically a Christmas-ified version of classic chocolate chip cookies. They were super fun and I really liked having an excuse to put a year-round classic like chocolate chip cookies on my Christmas cookie platter.

So this year, I thought I’d set out to make another chocolate chip cookie that’s gotten into the Christmas spirit!

I wanted an cranberry orange cookie flavor flavor profile, and white chocolate goes perfectly. So I revisited my oldie-but-goodie recipe for white chocolate macadamia nut cookies, making them a bit thicker and chewier, with a generous amount of orange zest + dried cranberries. It was love at first bite!

Why You’ll Love These White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies

• No chilling required – The dough comes together quickly and they’re in the oven in no time.
• Brown sugar chewy perfection – These cranberry white chocolate chip cookies have the perfect consistency. They’re crisp around the edges, chewy and soft in the middle.
• Super easy – Just about as easy as classic chocolate chip cookies! Just mix, drop, and bake.
• Perfect for the holidays – With cranberry, orange flavors, and white chocolate these cookies are super Christmassy!
• Sturdy and portable – Perfect for mailing care packages or for a Christmas cookie exchange.

Orange Cranberry Chocolate Chip Cookie Ingredients

• Butter – You’ll want unsalted butter. Make sure it’s room temp so it’s soft enough to be able to beat and mix with the sugars.
• Brown sugar – I like to use dark brown sugar in these cookies.
• Granulated sugar – Your standard white sugar.
• Orange zest – Zested from around two medium-size oranges. I usually just grab a couple of navel oranges.
• Eggs
• Pure vanilla extract
• Flour – All-purpose.
• Baking soda
• Salt – I like to use fine-grain sea salt in my baked goods.
• White chocolate chips
• Dried cranberries – If you prefer, you can swap in dried cherries, but you may want to chop them up a bit first (I personally find them a bit large for cookies)

How to Make Them

1. Using either a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the butter until it’s pale and fluffy, then add the sugars and orange zest. Mix until well-combined.
2. Add the eggs one at a time, beating them in each time.
3. Mix in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt, then add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
5. Mix until it forms a dough, then stir in the white chocolate chips and cranberries.
6. Scoop onto a baking sheet and bake until golden-edged.
7. Cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips for Success

• For perfectly round chocolate chip cookies, invert a drinking glass over the freshly baked cookie (still on the cookie sheet) and move it in a circular motion around the cookie. This will help rein in any odd edges for a round shape.
• Top with extra white chocolate chips and cranberries for a prettier look that tells everyone exactly what’s in these delicious cranberry white chocolate chip cookies!

Freezer-Friendly Christmas Cookies

To freeze baked cookies, cool completely then transfer to a freezer-safe container with airtight lid or a freezer bag. They’ll keep well for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature for about 30 minutes and you’re good to go!

To freeze and bake later, scoop balls of dough onto a baking sheet and place in the freezer. Once frozen, transfer to a freezer bag and label. They keep for up to 3 months. To bake, simply pull a few out, line on your baking sheet, and bake for a minute or two extra.

I hope these Orange White Chocolate Cranberry Chocolate Chip cookies are as big a hit with your family as they are with mine! They’re chewy and holiday-coded and perfect for cookie platters. We love ’em!

If you make these, I’d love your star rating! It’s super helpful for other readers (and helps my small business grow).

The Story Behind the Recipe

I wanted to share an easy, kid-friendly, adorable Christmas dessert this year, and these Reindeer Cupcakes were perfect! I love how easy they are to make – just pipe on the chocolate buttercream, plop on the antlers, nose, and eyes, and adorableness awaits.

Why You’ll Love These Reindeer Cupcakes

• From scratch recipe – The homemade cupcakes and that chocolate buttercream are to die for! But no shade if you go with cake mix and premade frosting – you can still easily add antlers, eyes, and nose for Reindeer Cupcakes!
• SUPER easy – I love that there’s no extra work to prepping the elements for decorating your reindeer cupcakes. All you need are store-bought chocolate covered pretzels, red M&Ms, and candy eyes.
• Make ahead – You can make these reindeer cupcakes ahead of time and refrigerate them until you’re ready to serve them. Less work over the busy holidays!

Reindeer Cupcakes Recipe Ingredients

For the chocolate cupcakes:

• Cocoa powder – You’ll want unsweetened cocoa powder; Dutch process is the way to go. I use straight up Hershey’s or Ghirardelli for my cocoa powder.
• Coffee – Freshly brewed coffee. I promise your chocolate cupcakes won’t taste like coffee! Just a half cup or so really highlights the chocolate flavors.
• Eggs – Two large eggs.
• Sour cream – I like to use full-fat sour cream. You can substitute buttermilk here, too, if that’s all you have.
• Vanilla – Pure vanilla extract.
• Flour – All-purpose flour.
• Baking soda & baking powder
• Salt – I like to use fine-grain sea salt in my baking.

For the chocolate buttercream:

• Butter – Make sure it’s at room temp so it’s nice and soft, otherwise it will be hard to blend.
• Powdered sugar
• Salt
• Cocoa powder
• Vanilla
• Heavy whipping cream

For decorating:

• Chocolate covered pretzels – You can find these in the snack section or sometimes I find them in bulk.
• M&Ms – Red M&Ms make the perfect nose. Buy a bag of M&Ms and pick out the red ones, then enjoy the rest while you’re whipping up your reindeer cupcakes!
• Candy eyes – Found the baking section of many grocery stores.

How to Make the Cupcakes & Frosting

1. First, make your cupcakes. You’ll want to whisk together the cocoa powder and the coffee in a small bowl until liquified into chocolatey goodness.
2. Next, whisk together the wet ingredients, then sift the dry ingredients over the top. Mix together just until combined, and fill your lined muffin cups.
3. Bake the cupcakes just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, then pull them out to cool.
4. Whip up the frosting by beating the butter, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and salt together, then drizzle in the vanilla and heavy whipping cream and whip until light and fluffy.

How to Decorate Reindeer Cupcakes

1. Pipe the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes with an open-star tip.
2. Press the pretzels into each side of the frosting.
3. Gently press in the nose and the eyes.

Tips for Success

• Don’t skip the step of whisking cocoa powder with hot coffee first as it “blooms” the cocoa, unlocking its deepest flavor and creating that luxurious dark-chocolate color.
• The batter will be runnier than a typical cupcake mix, which is what makes these cupcakes light and plush once baked.
• Bake cupcakes JUST until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This helps ensure moist – not overbaked and dry – cupcakes.
• Make sure your frosting is thick. You want to be able to place the “antler” pretzels into the frosting and have them hold.
• When whipping the buttercream, take your time. Several minutes of beating transforms it from dense to cloud-like. If the frosting feels too thick, add a tablespoon of cream at a time until it reaches the perfect piping consistency. Conversely, if it’s too soft, pop it into the fridge for 10–15 minutes before decorating.
• Work quickly after piping on the frosting. For neat reindeer faces, press the pretzels and candies into the frosting immediately
• Refrigerate for sturdier Rudolph cupcakes. 15-30 minutes in the fridge will help firm up the frosting, helping the decorations to stay put especially when having to pack up these cupcakes and take them somewhere.

I hope you love these Reindeer Cupcakes as much as my family and I do! They’re cute and festive and absolutely delicious. Rudolph approves!

• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 3-4 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

For decorating:

• 24 chocolate-covered pretzels
• 12 red M&Ms
• 24 candy eyes

Instructions

Make the chocolate cupcakes:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners and set aside.
• In a small heatproof bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder and hot coffee until smooth. Set aside to cool.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vegetable oil, sour cream, and vanilla until well-combined, about 1 minute. Pour in the cooled chocolate mixture and whisk again until the batter is uniform in color.
• Place a sifter over the bowl and sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt directly over the wet ingredients. Use a spatula to gently fold everything together just until combined. The batter will be thin – this is exactly how it should look.
• Divide the batter evenly between the cupcake liners, filling each about 3/4 full.
• Bake in the center of the oven until the tops spring back when lightly pressed and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 22-28 minutes (for my oven, it took more like 28 minutes, but if your oven runs hotter, it may more on the 22 minute side. I suggest checking them early on.) The cupcakes will be flat on top, not rounded like a muffin.
• Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.

Make the chocolate buttercream:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or using a handheld mixer), beat the butter until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and salt and mix on low speed until the mixture looks combined but still crumbly.
• Slowly add the vanilla and 3 tablespoons of the cream while on low speed, then increase the speed to medium-high and beat for 4-5 minutes until light, fluffy, and smooth. If the frosting seems too thick to pipe onto the cupcakes, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of cream.
• Transfer the buttercream to a piping bag fitted with a large open-star top (such as Wilton 1M). Pipe generous swirls onto each cooled cupcake.
• Press two pretzels into the top for antlers, add a red M&M nose, and finish with two candy eyes.
• Serve immediately or store in the fridge for up to 3 days until ready to serve.

Notes

* If you prefer not to use coffee, you can simply replace it with ½ cup of boiling water instead. The purpose of the coffee is to intensify the chocolate flavor, not to add a coffee taste, so the cupcakes will still be deliciously chocolatey without it.

Tips for Success

• Don’t skip the step of whisking cocoa powder with hot coffee first as it “blooms” the cocoa, unlocking its deepest flavor and creating that luxurious dark-chocolate color.
• The batter will be runnier than a typical cupcake mix, which is what makes these cupcakes light and plush once baked.
• Bake cupcakes JUST until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This helps ensure moist – not overbaked and dry – cupcakes.
• Make sure your frosting is thick. You want to be able to place the “antler” pretzels into the frosting and have them hold.
• When whipping the buttercream, take your time. Several minutes of beating transforms it from dense to cloud-like. If the frosting feels too thick, add a tablespoon of cream at a time until it reaches the perfect piping consistency. Conversely, if it’s too soft, pop it into the fridge for 10–15 minutes before decorating.
• Work quickly after piping on the frosting. For neat reindeer faces, press the pretzels and candies into the frosting immediately
• Refrigerate for sturdier Rudolph cupcakes. 15-30 minutes in the fridge will help firm up the frosting, helping the decorations to stay put especially when having to pack up these cupcakes and take them somewhere.

Storage

• Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• Refrigerator: Keeps up to 5 days; bring to room temperature before serving.
• Freezer: Unfrosted cupcakes can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and frost fresh.

The Story Behind the Recipe

I love a good snacking cake! Something that cooks up perfectly in an 8×8 pan is ideal, like this chocolate wacky cake or banana spice cake.

This time, I wanted to create a cake that made use of the humble sweet potato. I know sweet potato pies are a thing, but sweet potato cake?! Mashed sweet potato makes a thick, rich puree, similar to pumpkin, and I knew the rich depth of sweet potatoes would be enhanced perfectly by dark brown sugar, cinnamon, and ginger.

I also had a hunch that sweet potato puree would result in a wonderfully moist cake with a perfect crumb – and I am so pleased that hunch proved true! This tender, moist sweet potato cake is SO delicious.

Why You’ll Love This Cake

• Easy to make. Yes, you need to bake your sweet potatoes first, but it’s a pretty hands-off task. I love the idea of incorporating baked sweet potatoes for dinner, and baking some extra for this cake a day or two later. But otherwise, it’s a simple situation of mixing together the wet ingredients, then the dry, then folding them together and baking. Easy peasy.
• Travels well. Just cover and go! Plus, if you take this to a friend’s place or a potluck, you’ll be the most popular person there.
• Unique yet familiar. Sweet potato cake is not something you see every day, but it’s super comforting at the same time. Similar to pumpkin cake but richer with deeper notes of flavor.

Sweet Potato Cake Recipe Ingredients

For the cake:

• Sweet potatoes – You’ll need 2 medium sweet potatoes, about 1 pound total.
• Vegetable oil – I love how moist and tender vegetable oil makes cakes. If you prefer, you can use canola oil. For a less-refined option, coconut oil or melted unsalted butter will also work.
• Granulated sugar & brown sugar – I like a combo of both granulated white sugar and some dark brown sugar for rich, deep flavor.
• Eggs – You’ll want three large eggs.
• Vanilla – Pure vanilla extract adds a mellow sweetness.
• Flour – I like to use all-purpose flour for this sweet potato cake for a nice tender crumb.
• Baking powder & baking soda – Leaveners add lift to the cake.
• Spices – Gground cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground nutmeg.
• Salt – I like to use fine-grain sea salt in my baking because you don’t get little bits of salt (like when you use a coarser salt like kosher). Table salt will work too.

For the frosting:

• Butter – You’ll want to start with unsalted butter. Make sure it’s at room temp so it whips up easily.
• Cream cheese – Leave it on the counter for a couple of hours before starting so that it softens.
• Salt – Just a bit of sea salt to help counter the sweetness of the sugar.
• Powdered sugar – Also known as confectioner’s sugar.
• Vanilla – Pure vanilla extract adds the perfect flavor to cream cheese frosting. I love it!

How to Make Sweet Potato Cake

1. First, you’ll want to bake your sweet potatoes. Here is a tutorial for perfect baked sweet potatoes – they’re easy! Bake them for around 40 minutes, until soft. Let them cool, then peel them and add them to a large mixing bowl.
2. Mash the sweet potatoes with a potato masher until smooth. You should have about 2 cups worth of mashed sweet potatoes, or 456 grams. I like to measure or weigh just to be sure, but I find that one pound worth of sweet potatoes is just right.
3. Add the oil, sugars, eggs, and vanilla to the baked potato puree. Mix together until smooth.
4. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt to a medium bowl and whisk it together.
5. Dump the dry ingredients over the wet, then mix it tighter just until combined.
6. Spread the batter into a greased 8×8 baking pan.
7. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 40-50 minutes.
8. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool.
9. Make the cream cheese frosting, then frost the cake with a thick layer of the frosting. Yum!

Tips for Success

• Don’t overbake! Bake your sweet potato cake JUST until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If you bake it for too long, it can end up being a bit dry.
• Whip your cream cheese. When making the frosting, don’t skip the step of whipping the butter and cream cheese first. Otherwise, your frosting could end up lumpy.

I hope this Sweet Potato Cake is a massive hit for you and your loved ones! It has been a smashing success in our family, and I foresee many years of making this cake over and over again.

The Story Behind the Recipe

June 3, 2010 – We’re getting married on a blueberry farm. This weekend. This WEEKEND! Gosh, this thing came fast. Seems like Christmas Eve was just yesterday… the day my guy got down on one knee and popped the question. I didn’t say yes, though. I said “of course!”

Gotta say, I’m psyched the day is here. Yes, yes, I am definitely just ready to get it done with and get on with our lives. But I’m also just dang excited for all the festivities (and the honeymoon!) Plus, I get to marry the most wonderful guy. Bring it on.

So I thought it was appropriate this week to share this recipe for Blueberry Sauce. Not only because there are blueberries involved, but also because we’re going to be serving this sauce over cheesecake for dessert at our reception. (Post-wedding update: It was a huge hit!)

Ingredients

• Blueberries – I’ve only made this blueberry sauce recipe with fresh blueberries, but I’d imagine frozen blueberries will work, too.
• Sugar – I’ve found 2/3 cup sugar to be the sweet spot but like all berries, blueberries can vary in sweetness, so you may want to add more sugar at the end of the recipe once you taste your cooked blueberry sauce.
• Lemon juice & zest – Both zest and juice add a tart, acidic note that really highlights the flavor of the blueberries.
• Water – To help the blueberries cook down.
• Vanilla extract – I like to add a touch of pure vanilla extract to round out the flavors of the blueberry sauce. I think it really adds something special, but if you’re not sure, feel free to leave it out.

How to Make Blueberry Sauce

1. First you’ll want to rinse your blueberries, making sure they’re nice and clean. Pick through them, getting rid of any shriveled or bad berries and any remaining stems.
2. Next, you’ll add the blueberries to a medium saucepan. Add the sugar, lemon juice and zest, and water.
3. Turn the heat to medium-high. Stir occasionally until the ingredients come to a boil.
4. Reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce thickens, roughly for about 15 – 20 minutes.
5. Remove the blueberry sauce from the heat, then stir in the vanilla. Taste your homemade blueberry sauce and add more sugar if desired (depending on the blueberries and the amount of lemon juice, you may more sugar to balance it out). 
6. Serve warm or cold.

What to Serve with Blueberry Sauce

• Spoon it over cheesecake
• Serve it with buttery classic French toast
• Pour it over fluffy banana pancakes (or really any pancakes!)
• This blueberry sauce recipe is SO good over vanilla ice cream.

Tips for Success

• Blueberry sauce will last in the fridge for around a week. Just keep it in an airtight container.
• To freeze it, cool to room temp then place in a freezer safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge.

I hope this blueberry sauce recipe is as much of a fave summer recipe for you as it is for us! We make this one yearly with blueberries we’ve picked from our local blueberry farm. Nothing better in the summer!

Plus, they’re no more difficult to make than your typical chocolate chip cookie. The egg is replaced with a “flax egg,” simply a mix of ground flaxseed and water. And it works perfectly!

The Story Behind the Recipe

Chocolate Chip Cookies are my comfort baking recipe. When times are tough, it’s the first thing I want to bake to help bring back a sense of normalcy.

When my kid was 6 weeks old, I broke my ankle thanks to two enthusiastic dogs and a flight of stairs (luckily, I was holding a laundry basket, not my baby!) In hindsight, caring for a cuddly newborn instead of an active toddler while not being able to walk is definitely a better situation. But at the time, there was something that felt so helpless about my sudden injury … and when everything in your being tells you that you have to keep this baby alive at all costs (thank you hormones!), not being able to walk can feel pretty dire.

So I was thrilled when, after just a few days, I was able to get around pretty well in a walking cast. And one of the first things I did after a very emotional handful of days was strap my tiny baby into a carrier, hobble into the kitchen, and whip up a batch of chocolate chip cookies.

My go-to recipe is typically the Nestle tollhouse classic chocolate chip cookie recipe. It’s what my mom made, too, and I figure if it ain’t broke, why fix it?

But that recipe calls for two eggs, and as we all know, eggs are hard to come by right now. And when we finally do pay a small fortune to get some, it can be hard to sacrifice two of them to a baking recipe!

So I did some experimenting and came up with a spin on the tollhouse cookie recipe that uses flax eggs – a mix of ground flaxseed and water – instead of chicken eggs. And these no-egg chocolate chip cookies are absolutely delicious!

Why You’ll Love Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies

• They save you money. Unless you have a backyard flock (total goals), eggs are expensive right now, if you’re able to find any at all. A couple of tablespoons of flaxseed meal are way more accessible and will cost you a LOT less.
• They taste amazing! The aforementioned kid is now a teenager and is basically a super-taster who can detect the most minuscule change in a recipe. But said kid declares these chocolate chip cookies with no egg exactly the same as my typical chocolate chip cookie.

Developing This Egg-Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

I started with the Nestle Tollhouse chocolate chip cookie recipe as my base recipe and experimented with adjusting the flour and a couple of other ingredients + chilling the dough until I came up with the perfect Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies!

• Test 1: I made two flax eggs (mixed flaxseed meal with water and let it sit for 20 minutes) and swapped it in for the chicken eggs. I kept everything else the same. Result: Delicious no egg chocolate chip cookies, but they didn’t quite spread enough. It seemed the traditional amount of flour wasn’t quite needed with flax eggs vs. chicken eggs.
• Test 2: I took half of the dough from test 1 and chilled it for 20 minutes to see if allowing the flour to hydrate would change the outcome of the cookies. It did change them, a little – oddly, they spread a little better. But not quite enough. I also felt they needed a bit more salt and vanilla.
• Test 3: I reduced the flour by 1/4 cup, doubled the vanilla, and added 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Bingo! These cookies spread perfectly and had just enough extra flavor to be perfect.
• Test 4: I chilled the dough just to see what would happen. Honestly, I didn’t see much difference between the chilled dough vs. straight out of the mixer dough, except that the chilled cookies were slightly thicker and browned a tiny bit more on the top. Ultimately, I didn’t think it was worth the extra 20 minutes (though I wrote it into the recipe as an option!)
• Test 5: Repeat test 3 one more time just to make sure it’s spot-on. It was! Perfect Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies!

Ingredients

• Flaxseed meal – Flaxseeds are, you guessed it, the seeds from flax plants. They’re a great source of Omega-3s and other nutrients (source). And, as it turns out, when the ground-up seeds soak with water, they form a gel that makes a perfect binder that works amazingly in place of eggs in recipes!
• Butter – I start with unsalted butter to ensure consistency (different brands of salted butter have different levels of salt). Make sure it’s room temp/softened so it whips up perfectly!
• White sugar & brown sugar – Equal amounts of both. Feel free to use light brown sugar OR dark brown sugar, whichever you prefer.
• Pure vanilla extract
• Flour – You can use whole-wheat or white whole-wheat flour, but I tend to go with straight up white all-purpose flour for my eggless chocolate chip cookies.
• Baking soda
• Salt – I like to use a fine-grain salt like sea salt or table salt.
• Chocolate chips – I tend to use classic semi-sweet, but if you prefer milk chocolate or dark chocolate, go for it! Chocolate chunks are great too.

Tips for Success

• Use warm water for the flax egg. Not super hot, just warm. This will help it develop into its gel-like consistency faster.
• Don’t over-mix the dough. Mix it just until it comes together so that you don’t develop the gluten, which can make the cookies less tender.
• These are rather thin cookies. They’re not wafer thin, but they’re just not super thick chocolate chip cookies. I love them this way, but if you prefer a thicker cookie, I suggest adding 1/4 cup more of the all-purpose flour to your dough.

How to Freeze No-Egg Chocolate Chip Cookies

Freeze baked cookies in an airtight container or freezer bag, or you can freeze the dough balls on a baking sheet then transfer them to a freezer bag for longer-term storage. Bake a few or a lot of cookies at a time! I suggest adding 1-2 minutes of baking time if you start with frozen cookie dough balls. 

I hope these Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies hit the spot for you, whether you’re having a hard time finding eggs, conserving the eggs you do have, or allergic to eggs.

No matter your reason to make your chocolate chip cookies egg-free, I think you’re going to love these cookies! I think I’ll be making these just as much (if not more) as my beloved classic version.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed aka flaxseed meal
• 6 tablespoons warm water 1/3 cup; I just tend to use my tablespoon measure because I already used it for the ground flaxseed
• 1 cup unsalted butter 2 sticks; room temp/softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar white sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour 260 g
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 2 cups chocolate chips 1 [12-ounce] package

Instructions

• In a small bowl, mix together the 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal and 6 tablespoons warm water. Allow it to thicken up for about 20 minutes; it will be thick but pourable with a slightly gel-like consistency.
• Place an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the 1 cup (2 sticks) of butter at medium speed until creamy, then add the 3/4 granulated sugar and 3/4 cup brown sugar. Beat on medium speed for about 30 seconds until it begins to lighten up a little.
• Add the flaxseed mixture and 2 teaspoons vanilla. Mix at low speed until well-combined.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt.
• Add the flour mixture to the butter/sugar mixture and turn the stand mixer on low, mixing just until combined. Be sure to scrape down the sides if necessary. Add the 12-ounce bag of chocolate chips, mixing for another couple of seconds. Remove the bowl and stir the dough together with a sturdy spatula until completely combined.
• Optional: Chill for 20-30 minutes for thicker cookies. This might be a good idea if you're in a warmer kitchen/climate or if you started with very soft butter. My kitchen is 69-70 degrees and I started with room temp butter; I found chilling doesn't make enough of a difference to be worthwhile.
• Form the dough into balls about 2 tablespoons each (I use a cookie scoop). Place on your baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
• Bake until golden around the edges, about 8 minutes.
• Remove the cookies from the oven and let rest for about 5 minutes on the cookie sheet, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Bake the next batch of cookies the same way, until you're all the way through the dough.
• Store in an airtight container at room temp for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

Prep time includes 20 minutes for the flax eggs to set up.

These are rather thin cookies. They’re not wafer thin, but they’re just not super thick chocolate chip cookies. I love them this way, but if you prefer a thicker cookie, I suggest adding 1/4 cup more of the all-purpose flour to your dough.

Storage notes:

Cookies keep well in an airtight container at room temp for 4-5 days. They also freeze well. Freeze baked cookies in an airtight container or freezer bag, or you can freeze the dough balls on a baking sheet then transfer them to a freezer bag for longer-term storage. Bake a few or a lot of cookies at a time! I suggest adding 1-2 minutes of baking time if you start with frozen cookie dough balls.

The Story Behind the Recipe

We all know Christmas is cookie season, but why do the best cookies of all, chocolate chip cookies, always get passed over at Christmas time?! It’s not right.

So I thought I’d take a classic chocolate chip cookie recipe and dress it up for the holidays. These Christmas Chocolate Chip Cookies are super colorful and look extra festive on any cookie plate. They’re also just a darn delicious chocolate chip cookie! (Pssst: Santa will LOVE these Christmas Chocolate Chip Cookies. Guaranteed.)

I started with a chocolate chip cookie recipe from the grand kahuna of chocolate chip cookie bakers, Sarah Kieffer of The Vanilla Bean Blog (if you’ve heard of the pan-banging chocolate chip cookie, she’s the one who started it!) She’s tested and perfected chocolate chip cookies – add a little more butter here, add one less egg white there – until she created an amazing chewy chocolate chip cookie. I used that as the base recipe and basically trashed it up with Christmas goodness from there.

Why You’ll Love Christmas Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate chip cookies are arguably the best cookie of all – why shouldn’t they have a place on the Christmas cookie platter?! When you dress up chocolate chip cookies with M&Ms and white chocolate chips, you get the goodness of chocolate chip cookies, but Christmassified.

Ingredients

You’ll find a pretty traditional list of ingredients for these Christmas Chocolate Chip Cookies, except a few holiday-ish ingredients to take them over the top!

• All-purpose flour – The plain fluffy white flour we know and love.
• Baking powder & baking soda – Puffs them up a little and helps with the structure of the cookie.
• Butter – I like to use unsalted butter to better control the salt content in my recipes (salted butter often varies with the amount of salt in it). Make sure it’s room temp so it’s soft and blendable!
• Sugar – Straight-up white granulated sugar.
• Brown sugar – Use light or dark, whichever you prefer.
• Salt – I like to use a fine-grain sea salt in the batter itself, and then for a bit of extra salt, I’ll often sprinkle some over the top with coarse sea salt flakes like Maldon.
• Egg – You’ll want one whole egg and one yolk.
• Vanilla – Pure vanilla extract. A must in chocolate chip cookies!
• M&Ms – Festive red and green M&Ms. Perfect for Christmas!
• White chocolate chips – Use your favorite brand of white chocolate chips.
• Sprinkles – I like to use the “jimmies” style of sprinkles, shaped in rods, in red, green, and white. You can mix some into the batter, or sprinkle some on the tops before baking, or both.

Adaptations/Variations

• Swap the chocolate chips – Feel free to use standard chocolate chips instead of white chocolate chips. I’ve made this recipe both ways and they’re delicious either way.
• Add a drizzle of white chocolate – To make them even fancier, melt some white chocolate and drizzle it over the tops of the cooled cookies. Pretty and delicious!
• Candy cane chocolate chip Christmas cookies – To make a minty version of these Christmas M&M chocolate chip cookies, crush up four or five candy canes and mix it in to the batter with the chocolate chips. Sprinkle a few more on top before baking for good measure.

How to Make Christmas Chocolate Chip Cookies

First you’ll mix together the dry ingredients for the dough. To do this, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda, and set it aside.

Next, it’s time to mix up the wet ingredients. Fit a stand mixer with the S-blade, then beat the butter until creamy and lightened. Add the sugars and salt and beat it until combined. Add the full egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and combine.

Now, add the flour mixture to the butter and egg mix and beat JUST until it’s combined. Add the M&Ms and chocolate chips plus the sprinkles if you’re using them. Blend a bit with the mixer, then use a spatula to incorporate the mix-ins the rest of the way. The batter will be thick and stiff.

Next, form the dough into balls about 2 tablespoons each. I highly recommend a cookie scoop for easy, uniform scooping (here’s the cookie scoop I use; this is an affiliate link!)

Space the balls about 3 inches apart and sprinkle a little flaky sea salt on top, if you like. I also like to press a couple of extra M&Ms and/or chocolate chips on the cookie balls because it looks extra pretty.

Bake at 375°F (190°C), rotating the baking sheet once halfway through, until the cookies are golden brown and beginning to crinkle on the top.

Pull them from the oven and press gently with a spatula on the cookie tops to help the cookies crackle and flatten.

Let them rest for a few minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer them to the wire rack to cool the rest of the way.

Tips for Success

• Don’t over-mix the cookie batter! Stir the dry ingredients into the wet and work in the chocolate chips & M&Ms JUST until combined and not any more. Otherwise, you risk the glutens in the flour developing which can make cookies tough.
• Bake JUST until golden and beginning to crinkle. Err on the side of cooking less vs. more. This will yield that soft and chewy interior that is the hallmark of a fabulous chocolate chip cookie!

I hope these fun Christmas Chocolate Chip Cookies are a popular addition to your Christmas cookie repertoire! My family definitely enjoyed all of my testing iterations and they’re looking forward to them at Christmastime too.

Can I Freeze Christmas Chocolate Chip Cookies?

Yes! You can freeze the baked cookies in an airtight container or freezer bag, then just pull them out and keep them on the counter at room temp for about 30 minutes and they’ll be good to go.

Another option is to line up balls of cookie dough on a baking sheet and freeze them. Then, just plop the frozen solid rounds of cookie dough into a freezer bag or airtight container. When you’re ready to bake a few or all of them, just space them on the baking sheet and cook as directed!

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour 284 g
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 9 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 stick + 1 tablespoon
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar white sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 1 large egg

Instructions

• Place an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter at medium speed until creamy, then add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt. Beat until well combined, 2-3 minutes.
• Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and mix at low speed until well-combined.

• Bake one cookie sheet at a time for 9-10 minutes, rotating the pan halfway at the 5 minute mark. The cookie tops will be golden brown, the bottoms will be brown, and they'll look puffed and beginning to crinkle when they're ready to be pulled out of the oven.
• Remove the cookie pan from the oven and gently flatten each cookie a bit with a flat spatula.
• Let the cookies rest for about 5 minutes on the cookie sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

The Story Behind the Recipe

I first shared this recipe back in 2010, on my first blog. It was called “pine bark” back then, which understandably is a name that didn’t stand the test of time, considering pine bark is more commonly known as, you know, the bark of a pine tree.

There are a few recipes that didn’t make the transition from my first blog to Kitchen Treaty, and this saltine toffee, sadly, was one of those casualties. But, today, I’m here to remedy that, with a classic, off-the-charts delicious treat that I make every Christmas without fail.

I remember the first time I made this recipe, many years ago, I wasn’t sure about the idea of using saltine crackers as the base. I thought it was weird. I WAS WRONG. Because it is glorious. The crispy crunch of the crackers + the salt + toffee + chocolate?! Nirvana.

Why You’ll Love Saltine Toffee

This saltine toffee recipe is SUPER easy to make. Sugar cookies and gingerbread people have their place, sure, but they take some effort.

Saltine toffee, meanwhile, makes an awesomely large quantity of Christmas goodness with very little hands-on effort. Okay, so it’s not quite as easy as classic peppermint bark, but it’s darn close!

Ingredients

• Saltine crackers – You’ll need one sleeve of saltine crackers, or about 35 crackers. Make sure you get salted crackers!
• Butter – I almost always buy unsalted butter just so I can better control the salt level in my recipe. In this case, the salt on the crackers is plenty.
• Brown sugar – Light or dark both work. Make sure it’s packed into your cup!
• Chocolate chips – I go with plain ol’ classic semi-sweet chocolate chips. Milk chocolate or dark chocolate are also good!

Adaptations/Variations

• Mix up the toppings: Top the chocolate with flaky sea salt (as pictured), M&Ms, or colorful sprinkles.
• Add extract: A dash of almond or vanilla in the cooked toffee is always a great addition!

How to Make Saltine Toffee

First, you’ll line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, then you’ll line your saltine crackers up on the baking sheet. Then, you’ll create your toffee in a saucepan by boiling the butter and brown sugar together.

Pour the toffee over the saltine crackers, then slip it into the oven to bake for a few minutes. As soon as you pull it out of the oven, pour the chocolate chips over the top, then let them rest for a few minutes to get melty.

Once the chocolate chips have melted, use an offset spatula or butter knife to evenly spread the melted chocolate. Sprinkle with toppings, if you want (I’m partial to an extra dose of salt in the form of flaky Maldon sea salt).

From there, let your saltine toffee cool to room temperature. The chocolate and toffee will solidify, and you’ll be left with a glorious slab of saltine toffee! Just lift the parchment off of the pan, and use a big chef’s knife to cut the toffee into smaller pieces.

Tip for Success

• Take care when cooking your toffee. This is really the only tricky part about this recipe. If you undercook the toffee, it might end up grainy. Overcooked toffee can be crystalized and burned tasting. So follow the directions exactly: As SOON as it comes to a full boil, set a time for 3 minutes, then remove it from the heat at exactly the 3 minute mark.

I hope you’re as big a fan of saltine toffee as we are! It’s a must-have for our holiday cookie platters and I’d be so honored if some of this toffee found its way to yours.

Prep Time 9 minutes minutes

Total Time 49 minutes minutes

Servings 35 pieces

Ingredients

• 35 salted saltine crackers 1 sleeve
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup brown sugar packed
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Optional toppings

• Christmas themed sprinkles
• Red & green mini M&Ms or regular size M&Ms

Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a 15"x10" cookie sheet with rims with parchment paper.
• Lay a single layer of crackers in the pan.
• Place the butter and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. As soon as it comes to a full boil, reduce the heat to low and cook for exactly 3 minutes (set a timer!), stirring constantly.
• Pour the brown sugar butter mix over the saltine crackers, so that it's evenly distributed.
• Transfer to the oven and bake for 5 minutes. It will be very bubbly when you pull it out. Place it on a cooling rack and immediately sprinkle with the chocolate chips.
• Wait a couple of minutes for the chocolate chips to begin melting, then use an offset spatula or butter knife to spread the melted chocolate evenly over the saltines and caramel.
• If you'd like, you can add Christmas themed sprinkles and/or M&Ms. I love to use mini M&Ms on these. A light layer of flaky sea salt is always good, too!
• Let the saltine toffee cool until hard (this may take an hour or more). If you want to accelerate the process you can place it in the fridge to cool.
• Cut into squares to serve.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temp for up to one week.
