A buttery crust and a layer of gooey caramel studded with pecans and chocolate chips make these caramel pecan bars one irresistible dessert.

I first made these caramel pecan bars almost 10 years ago. They were one of the first things I baked after moving into our old house, and the recipe still holds a special place in my heart.

And why wouldn’t it? We love both caramel and pecans around here – my salted caramel sauce and candied pecans are two of my very favorite things. So a recipe that combines the two ingredients is sure to be a hit.

Classic pecan bars are always a favorite around the holidays. But these caramel pecan bars change things up a bit and give the old standby a twist that I think you’ll love.

I have a feeling you’re gonna want to whip these up for all of your cookie exchanges this year.

Pumpkin pecan pie bars are made with a homemade sugar-cookie crust, pumpkin filling and a pecan streusel topping for one fantastic Thanksgiving dessert. Recipe includes a gluten-free option.

If there’s one thing we love about Thanksgiving, it’s all of the desserts.

In our family, we like to have a mix of some traditional pies, such as classic pecan pie, and less-traditional favorites, such as pumpkin cheesecake or pumpkin cream cheese pie. 

This recipe for pumpkin pecan pie bars is one that comes from my friend Erin over at Texanerin Baking. She shared the recipe with us several years ago and I was recently reminded at how much I love these bars.

I mean, combining two classic Thanksgiving pies into one delicious bar dessert? That’s a hard combo to beat.

This childhood favorite just got a major upgrade! Potato chip rice krispie treats add kettle-cooked potato chips to the classic gooey cereal treat for a sweet, salty, and crunchy indulgence.

Is there a better after-school snack than a big, gooey rice krispie treat?

We’re deep into back-to-school season over here for my oldest, and I love having some special treats for her when she gets home from school during that first couple of weeks. Getting back into the school routine is hard – we might as well enjoy some fun snacks to make it a little easier.

I love, love, LOVE classic rice krispie treats and so do my kids. And we love all kinds of variations on them, from brown butter rice krispie treats to chocolate rice krispie treats. 

I recently tried adding potato chips to my go-to classic rice krispie treats recipe and I don’t think I’ll ever look back.

Made with a simple oat-packed crust and a fresh strawberry filling, strawberry oatmeal bars are a delicious way to welcome berry season.

As you can probably guess, my team and I spend a lot of time at the grocery store. And we’ve all been noticing that fresh berries are starting to come back in stock.

In my mind, fresh berries are a sure sign that the seasons are changing, even if it’s still sweatshirt weather here in Ohio. And while peak strawberry season won’t hit my region for a little while yet, I love making recipes that allow even pre-season berries to sing.

From strawberry banana muffins to strawberry popsicles to these strawberry oatmeal bars, these recipes keep me going even when the weather isn’t so great.

I love bananas but I can never seem to use them up before they are way too speckled to eat with my morning Cheerios. 

Luckily, that almost always gives me an excuse to bake up something delicious with them!

From strawberry banana muffins to banana cupcakes to banana coffee cake, I’ve got you covered if you also always struggle with a never-ending supply of overly ripe bananas.

Chewy and delicious white chocolate pecan blondies are begging to be enjoyed alongside a cup of coffee for a delicious afternoon snack.

As a parent, I’ve come to appreciate recipes that don’t require a mixer, just a couple of bowls and a spoon or spatula.

They’re even easier for my kids to help me make, and Elle is old enough that she can make recipes like that all by herself now.

Blondies are a great no-mixer recipe. They come together in just a few minutes and are always a hit with their slightly underbaked centers. 

These white chocolate pecan blondies are an easy favorite and a great way to use up any white chocolate chips you may have lying around. Cut them into giant bars and top them with a scoop of ice cream for a decadent dessert or cut them into smaller pieces for a quick afternoon snack.

You can’t go wrong!

Do you ever see a post on social media, scroll past without saving it, and then keep thinking about it without being able to find it later?

That’s what happened with these apple cider blondies. I originally saw them on social media, probably TikTok, but kept on scrolling and didn’t think much about it at the time.

After coming home with way too much cider from a local orchard, I remembered the post. Of course, then I couldn’t find it and had to google a recipe instead.

I landed on a recipe from The Kitchn, which I ended up tweaking until my family felt they were juuust right.

I’ve already made these apple cider blondies several times and they are possibly Elle’s new favorite fall dessert. And based on the feedback from my other taste testers, I bet you’ll end up feeling the same.

Friends, TikTok got me again.

You know by now how much I love scrolling through my FYP. It really knows me and seems to even guess what I’m craving based on the recipe videos it gives me.

A month or two ago it showed me a video of someone making apple crisp bars and I was immediately hungry. The next day I was in the kitchen fiddling with the recipe.

I think you’ll love these bars as much as you love the TikTok cinnamon rolls and my giant s’mores cookies. They’re perfect for any time of year, but especially right now, and would be a hit at Thanksgiving!

Or you can hole up and enjoy them on your own with an iced shaken espresso. I won’t judge you either way!
