Copycat Cranberry Bliss Bars

Posted on by wallflourgirl

Starbucks, step aside! These homemade copycat Cranberry Bliss Bars are even better than the original and so satisfying to make at home. Orange extract adds a bright surprise to these holiday classics, while a perfect balance of white chocolate & cranberries makes this one of my most-requested bars all year round. Recipe lightly adapted from Belle of the Kitchen.

My pet bird smells like wet socks.

As I sit here trying to describe the bright, citrus tones and velvety rich white chocolate notes that make these Copycat Cranberry Bliss Bars so damn wonderful, all I can focus on is the … Read more

The BEST Salted Caramel Snickerdoodle Bars

Posted on by wallflourgirl

These are possibly THE most requested dessert that I now bring to parties, gatherings, and potlucks galore! Stuffed with a rich layer of salted caramel, these perfectly chewy snickerdoodle bars are made with oil instead of butter and come together in just 20 minutes.

Here you are, scrolling idly on your internet browser, and you catch a startling flash of these salted caramel snickerdoodle bars. For a moment, your finger pauses as you consider swiping past. You can almost feel the caramel oozing off the screen, a crystal mess of cinnamon-sugar showering your plate as you sink your teeth into … Read more

Vegan Caramelitas

Posted on by wallflourgirl

When it comes to vegan desserts, these Vegan Caramelitas are among the best I’ve ever had! A golden brown sugar crumb filled with layers of chocolate and dairy-free caramel makes these quick bar cookies an irresistible addition to any dessert spread.   

The first time my college roommate caught me eating her homemade caramelitas, she suggested (rather mildly) that I could just take one and eat it if I wanted. You see, she had put them in the freezer for safekeeping and invited me to help myself anytime–but in my half-hearted attempt at self-control, I politely declined her invitation every time. … Read more

7 Gluten-free Recipes to Get You Through Social Distancing

Posted on by wallflourgirl

How’s the social distancing been treating you guys so far? As recently as last month, I had never even heard the term “social distancing,” but this abrupt new guideline has translated into a LOT of spare time in my apartment, which suddenly feels as tiny and constricting as a Victorian corset. So naturally, I’ve begun doing what I always do when I’m stuck at home, stressed, or grappling with the existential reality of a worldwide crisis: Baking. Lots of it.

Of course, chances are many of your grocery store aisles have been swept clean by panic-goaded herds of … Read more

MM Cookie Butter Avalanche Bars 2--011016

Animated films are my jam, my cup of tea, my sweet love, my obsession and my vampiric life blood. If you don’t like animation, you may as well leave now because I’m pretty sure we can’t ever be friends again.

And no, you can’t have any of these bars on your way out. Hmph!

4-Layer Nougat Caramel Cookie Ganache Krispies Bars

Before I begin, I just want to say that I’m not at all sorry for sharing this dessert with you. Yes, it’s a crazy dessert–yes, it’s so insanely good that I nearly picked through half of the pan before I managed to pry my paws off of these layered bars long enough to package them and ship them off. But will I say sorry?

Certainly not!

The thing is, I’m a chronic sorry-sayer. If you’re not one yourself, you know one: that friend who, even when she is doing you a favor, will say “sorry” out of instinct more than … Read more

Twix Millionaire Bars for a Virtual Baby Shower!

Twix Millionaire Shortbread Bars 1--072815

There are three things I am loving right now. The first is surprises! Because who doesn’t love a good surprise? I know I do.

The second thing is babies. I mean, if you don’t like babies, does that mean you hate puppies and rainbows and unicorns and cupcakes and all things happy and cute, too? Nobody wants to be THAT person. In my mind, it’s safest to just love the cuddly creatures and get on with it <3

The third thing I love is…showers. Don’t get me wrong: the idea of a hot, luxurious bath at the end of a … Read more
