Pumpkin Spice Marshmallows Recipe

They're also rather simple to make (easy to whip together in about 20 minutes) once you’ve made them a time or two and can be made in mass. On top of all that, people are always so impressed by them; shocked and amazed that marshmallows can be made in a kitchen, not in the confines of some space age factory. Click below for recipe.

Caramelized Onion Cranberry Cream Cheese Bites Recipe

I've been really busy lately, so this post is going to be short and sweet. These Caramelized Onion-Cranberry-Cream Cheese Bites make wonderful appetizers. The great thing about these is that you can make everything ahead of time, and then just assemble right before serving.

Chocolate Chipotle Brownies Recipe

Great with morning coffee.
When you bite into these you’ll taste the chocolate on the tip of your tongue, then feel the subtle heat of the chili in the back of your throat. It’s a balance of heat and sweetness that my husband and I both enjoy, especially with a hot cup of coffee - though I doubt the 6 year old girl shown in my childhood photo would have appreciated the assertive flavors. What can I say? Tastes, like us, change over the years. Go to link below for recipe.http://www.bakingandbooks.com/2008/11/23/chocolate-chipotle-
