Sopapilla Cheesecake Dessert

"Wow, this was absolutely delicious!" says Steph. "I almost skipped making it because of the crescent rolls, but I’m so glad I didn’t. It was so simple to make, and I followed the recipe exactly. Like someone else suggested, be sure to use real butter. Once it came out of the oven, I drizzled honey all over it — that’s how I like my sopapillas. But if you’re more into chocolate, you can drizzle that instead. The entire pan was devoured and everyone loved it!"

Pretzel Dessert

Colorful, crunchy, and bursting with fruity goodness, this easy dessert comes together in just 30 minutes and combines a variety of flavors and textures.

The Best Lemon Bars

A perfect balance of tart and rich, these homemade lemon bars come together in under an hour. To get the most juice from your lemons, microwave them for 15 seconds. For an extra burst of lemon flavor, don’t forget to add some lemon zest.

Oatmeal Scotchies in a Pan

These sweet and simple oatmeal butterscotch bars are perfect for dunking in a glass of milk. Dinogo Allstar Baking Nana suggests creaming the butter and sugar thoroughly and adding the eggs one at a time. Stir in the remaining ingredients gently to avoid overmixing and altering the texture with excess gluten.

"5 stars all the way," says Dee. "I thought it might be a little plain, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was super easy and tasted amazing! I brought it to a friend’s house and everyone loved it, especially her 3-year-old. I made a few changes: regular brownies (no pecans) and crushed Oreos on top instead of wafers. My husband said it tasted even better the next day. Definitely a keeper!"

Melt In Your Mouth Toffee
