M&M peanut butter cookies with oats: a chewy peanut-butter base studded with semi-sweet M&M's for the candy-shell crunch. A colorful spin on the classic peanut butter cookie.

Magic marshmallow crescent puffs wrap cinnamon-sugar marshmallows in flaky crescent dough, baked until golden and hollow inside. The marshmallow disappears, leaving a sweet glazed surprise.

Delicious! I find that it's easier to form the cookies if you make the filling first, refrigerate it, roll it into the 1" balls, then refrigerate again. I flatten the chocolate cookie part into disks and envelope the filling balls inside, rolling again. Very easy to make.

This decadent brownie recipe was recently clipped from my local newspaper.

The cake was so moist and delicious. It's kind like carrot cake but without carrot, and it has become my new favourite.
