It's summertime, of course, and things have been great, but the cooking hiatus has started. We've been traveling, hosting guests, and soaking up all the warm sunshine and time together.
I've had a few recipes here and there that I can recommend.
First, this Caramel Twix Poke Cake. As with most poke cakes, it was fantastically moist and sweet. I don't know that it has much in the way of Twix flavor, but, man, is it good. Highly recommend!
Next, I made these Peanut Butter Cup Cookie Dough Crumble Bars. If you are looking for a sweet and gooey bar, these are a good fit. Don't, however, expect a strong peanut butter cup flavor. For me, that's just as well. I'm not a die hard peanut butter cup fan, although I do enjoy them on occasion. Actually, what I'd like to see more of in this recipe is a salty and crunchy contrast. If I could think of a way to work pretzels into the recipe and have them retain their salty crunch, that would be perfect!
So there's a few desserts you can try for a summer barbecue or family get together. Both recipes were met with rave reviews from my husband's extended family.
