Gooey White S’More Cake Bars

Marshmallows, graham crackers, white chocolate, yellow cake mix…

Am I speaking your language?

 

My language primarily consists of things like marshmallows and graham crackers…closely followed by, I’m going to kill the cat…did you remember to record that?…I don’t know, I need coffee first…

Mikey speaks my language…

Chances are if you read this blog, your language includes white chocolate and yellow cake too.

Rice Krispie Roll

This is a simple recipe.

Which deserves a simple post.

We are talking major childhood (adulthood) favorite here!

I seem to remember one of my uncles ex-girlfriends making this for us once.

My mom says it is a recipe from one of my Aunts…but I disagree.

I faintly remember this ex because after she made this rice krispie roll for us…she became my favorite.

Feed me dessert and I will love you forever.

Guinness Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting and Whiskey Caramel Glaze

This is by far the best chocolate cake I’ve ever made/tasted.

Who knew that a can of Guinness Beer could produce the richest and most decadent chocolate cake?!

You see, my brother in law, Timmy has been living with Mikey and me for the past 2 months while he goes to beer-brewing school.

Yup, that’s a thing.

He is in school to become a brewmaster or master brewer of beer or something like that.

He does (did) 2 months here in Chicago at a school called Siebel, and on Saturday leaves for Germany where he’ll be for the remaining 4 months of the program.

Not bad, eh?

So…we had a going away party for him and paired all of the food with beer, obviously.

Being a baker I decided I had to make a beer inspired dessert…which is where these little babies were born.

Scotch-A-Roos

Scotch-A-Roos are not blog worthy.

I realize this and I apologize for the fact that you made these in 3rd grade.

But I will not apologize for the fact that they are 1. Super easy/don’t require turning on an oven in these record breaking and scorching Chicago temps and 2. Still delicious after all these years.
