I know peppermint/chocolate is polarizing, but it’s one of my absolute favorite combinations in the world and I can make no apology for that.

King Arthur Baking Company’s Dark Chocolate Peppermint Dips, which I sprinkled with Andes mints baking bits because it would be dumb as hell not to. 🍪 🍽️
Chocolate sandwich cookies with white cream in the center are lined on a sheet of parchment paper. Each cookie has been half dipped in chocolate and sprinkled with green and brown Andes mints baking bits.

The humble brownie. Unfucked with. Glorious. It asks for nothing because it wants for nothing. A perfect food. Thank you to Rick for reminding me that I should probably make these more often.

(King Arthur Baking Company’s Fudge Brownies) 🍫 👩‍🍳 🍽️
Five square brownies sit on a strip of parchment paper, which sits on a countertop.

I APOLOGIZE FOR ALL THE MEAN SHIT I SAID YESTERDAY; I MEANT TO MAKE IT THAT UGLY SO IT WOULD LOOK THIS CUTE WHEN SLICED 😭🥹

Abstract Modern Art Malted Milk Chocolate and Toasted Mixed Nut Tart

(This is why I don’t do designs 😂)

King Arthur Baking Company’s Malted Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Tart except I simply could not find hazelnuts anywhere, so I went with a mixed nut blend that included hazelnuts. 🍽️ 🍫 🌰 🥧

Unexpected snow day off of work, and I’m nothing if not predictable.

King Arthur Baking Company’s Chocolate Swirl Buns, but had a bunch of leftover butterscotch chips so they are now Chocolate Butterscotch Swirl Buns. (When are we going to talk about the fact that butterscotch > caramel?) 🍽️🍫🍞
Eight iced chocolate rolls (think cinnamon rolls but chocolate) sit in a 9” round pan. Cross section of a chocolate rolls, in which you can see the butterscotch chips swirled throughout.

Today is Thanksgiving and MIL turned the big 8-0 yesterday. 🥹 My first layer cake!! It’s not beautiful, nor is it perfect, but damn did it taste fine.

King Arthur Baking Company’s Peanut Butter-Fudge Buckeye Cake. 🎂 🍽️
A chocolate layered cake sits on a round glass platter on a blue tablecloth. Gold candles reading “80” top the cake. A cross section of a chocolate layered cake (four layers of cake, three layers of peanut butter cream in between them).

Was supposed to be at a holiday party for work, but the pup has been feeling poorly today so I backed out, stayed home with him, & made neighbor treats instead.
King Arthur Baking Company’s Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Bars, but instead of raisins, white chocolate and cranberries as they were on hand. 🍽️ 🍪
Three oatmeal cookie bars (soft cookies but brownie shaped) drizzled with white icing sit on a white plate with a green rim. White chocolate chips and dried cranberries are studded throughout the bars.

A Molly Robison Original recipe, mostly because I wanted to have butterscotch chips around to snack on.

Butterscotch and sea salt brownies with peanut butter drizzle, which I’m hoping will dry at some point but I make no promises. 🍽️ 🍰 🍪 🥜 🍫
Three brownies have been punched out into 8-petaled flower shapes using a cookie cutter. They are studded with caramel colored butterscotch chips and drizzled with peanut butter icing. They are sitting on a blue and pink ceramic plate.

A Test, soon to be A Thing.

Making my MIL’s birthday cake this year - this is King Arthur Baking Company’s Peanut Butter-Fudge Buckeye Cake (well, half of one anyway. It’ll be two of these bitches stacked on top of one another.)

The man and I just devoured the test batch. I love her. 🥜 🍫 🍰 🍽️
A chocolate cake, halved and filled with peanut butter cream, sits on a glass plate. It is topped with a very shiny chocolate glaze which runs down the sides.

This ridiculous guy in his “Clarence glasses”, as my mother called them, would’ve been 72 today.
Happy birthday, dad. Love you and miss you every day.

Also I had a hankering and could not continue my life until it was sated.

Split Pea Soup. @smittenkitchen.bsky.social’s recipe. ‘Tis the season. 🫛 🥣 🥓 🍽️

I didn’t know cakes could be this soft.

Weekly work treat: King Arthur Baking Company’s Honey Lemon Cake. Made some candied lemon peels for the top. 🍯 🍋 🍰 🍽️

She’s also giving Big Cornbread Energy for some reason, which is definitely a feature and not a bug.
A creamy yellow slice of cake sits on a white plate with a blue rim. Several slivers of candied lemon peel sit on top of the slice.

It is illegal to not do at least one cider recipe during spooky season, and I absolutely do make the rules in this regard.

This time around it’s @smittenkitchen.bsky.social’s Apple Cider Doughnut Cake, because Deb can do no wrong. 🍎 🍩 🍰 🍂 🍽️
Ten slices of reddish brown apple cider loaf cake sit on a piece of parchment paper. A thin donut glaze can be seen drizzled over the top. An apple and a jug of apple cider are in the background.

NA pals - this is fuckin’ delicious and honestly could also easily double as an NA whiskey replacement in a cocktail, somehow.

It’s October, and 82% of everything I make is going to be pumpkin related. Hope y’all are okay with that. 🎃 🍰 🍽️

Behold: King Arthur Baking Company’s Pumpkin Espresso Bundt Cake. Thank fuck I have my mom’s (maybe grandma’s?) Bundt cake pan, because no way in hell I would ever think to purchase one.
Two segments of a orangish brown Bundt cake sit on a white plate with a blue rim. Swirls of darker cinnamon espresso can be seen in the slices. The tops have been dusted with powdered sugar.

The other bakes I’ve made that happened to be on @kingarthurbaking.bsky.social’s Best of Fall list, so far, have been a coincidence; this one was very intentional. 🎃 🥧 🍽️

These are their Pumpkin Pie Bars for this week’s work treat.
Thin slices of pumpkin pie in the shape of long, rectangular bars sit on a piece of parchment paper on a wooden table. They have been topped with a sour cream whipped cream and sprinkled with cinnamon.

I’ve made a lot of apple/cinnamon stuff in my time…and this may be my favorite of all the apple cinnamon things.
Why is it so good? Is it the potato flakes? IS IT THE POTATO FLAKES??

Anyway this is @kingarthurbaking.bsky.social’a Cinnamon Apple Twist Bread 🍞 🍎 🍂 🍽️
A slice of twisted bread sits on a blue cutting board. The rest of the loaf is on the background. The loaf has been drizzled with white icing and a swirl of apple and cinnamon can be seen throughout the loaf itself.

Sometimes, very occasionally, Wisconsin is magic.

Hot damn I do be lovin’ pumpkin stuff. Can’t help it. I’m a white Midwesterner. It’s in our blood.

For the coworkers this week, King Arthur Baking Company’s Chocolate-Pumpkin Crumb Cake. I feel like you should share this with your grandpa over a cup of strong coffee after raking or something. 🎃🍰🍽️
Three rectangular slices of pumpkin cake sit in a triangle on a plate. They have chocolate crumbs on top, and a white icing on top of the crumbs.

Visiting the MIL and brangin’ treats.

King Arthur Baking Company’s Fudgy-Chewy Pumpkin Cookies. I am obsessed with these and I don’t know what else to say about them. Other than that they’re full of brown butter.🎃 🍪 🍽️
Eight orange/brown pumpkin cookies covered in rainbow sugar sit in a circle, overlapping one another, on a white plate.

Made The Sauce for the Secret Cheesecake Project at work. This is *my* creation. (Can’t wait to tell you what it actually is.)

Chef’s obsessed. I (humbly) think it’s quite tasty. The working title is Goth Sauce. I was gonna write spooky but ran out of room and it doesn’t matter. 👻 🍽️ 🍰

Pies intimidate the hell out of me. I love making them, but sometimes I want pie energy with less stress.

Voila - King Arthur Baking Company’s Apple Pie Bars. I believe serving these without either ice cream or whipped cream is illegal, so do bear that in mind if you make them. 🍎 🥧 🍂 🍽️
A red and yellow gala apple sits next to an apple pie bar (basically a whole apple pie in a brownie format) on a small white pedestal. Both are sitting on a worn wooden table.

I don’t want this to be as good as it was. It doesn’t LOOK good.

But I saw king trumpet mushrooms in the store & I’ve always wanted to try vegetarian scallops.

Fully scrumptious!! Butter & Tony c’s, seared in a pan (which I’ll do harder next time. I was just scared because they’re lil ‘shrooms.) 🍽️
King trumpet mushrooms have been cut to resemble scallops, scored, and seared. They are laid out on a bed of wilted spinach on a white plate.
