Vegan Peanut Butter S’More Brownies
Vegan Peanut Butter S’More Brownies A package arrived at the Test Kitchen containing packages of standard and miniature sized Dandies Vegan Marshmallows. We hadn’t had them before but if you are vegan you are probably familiar. The company bills them as a “cruelty-free alternative to the traditional marshmallow. They’re all natural, contain no corn […]
Protein Brownies
High Protein Brownies Dan Churchill is making the rounds with his new book DudeFood. There has long been a hole in the book world. Where was the book that was geared towards young men who want to cook and bake that approached this niche with the right vibe? Dan hits it on the nose. The […]
Einkorn Almond Butter Blondies
Nutrient Packed Einkorn Almond Butter Blondies Of all of the whole grain flours, I had the least experience with einkorn. It is a truly ancient grain, possibly dating back to 12,000 BC. It is very high protein, having 35 to 50 percent more protein than hard red wheat, and also high in Vitamin A and […]

Krebs Organic Dairy Farm’s Blueberry-Lemon Cheesecake Squares
Blueberry-Lemon Cheesecake Squares from Cabot Creamery Farmers I have been a Cabot fan for years. Their extra-sharp cheddar is my favorite supermarket cheese.

Nutella Ganache Rice Krispie Treats
Nutella in Rice Krispie Treats Ah, Nutella, how many new ways will we think to use you? Hopefully many!

Many of our cereal treats are […]
Lemon Bars
Classic Lemon Bars Lemon Bars are a classic that we return to again and again. They are one of those baked goods that seem to have always been around. But of course they do have an origination –everything does. The problem is, that with so many things in culinary history, we don’t have a truly […]
S’mores Marshmallow Treats
Campfire Flavor from the Broiler The assemblage of flavors that creates S’Mores is well known – a combo of graham crackers, chocolate and marshmallows. I wanted to make S’mores Marshmallow Treats so I knew I would start with Golden Graham cereal, which has that whole-wheat graham flavor. The chocolate would come in the form of […]
Cappuccino Rice Krispie Treats
Sophisticated Rice Krispie Treats? Yes! These Cappuccino Crispy Treats are an adult riff on the classic Rice Krispie Treat marshmallow cereal bar. When I was a kid they only showed up at bake sales. Not sure why. They are very easy to make and were always quite popular. These days I see them in delis and […]
Banana Bread with Nutella
Nutella Banana Bread Bars We have been doing a lot of thinking about banana bread recently. Apparently it was the #1 searched recipe on the internet in 2014. No one seems to know why! The banana industry didn’t explode. Our problem is usually having too many unripe bananas at hand – so who knows why? […]
Cherry Almond Oat Jam Bars
Quick & Easy Jam Bars Any Flavor You Like These jam bars couldn’t be simpler. A buttery, brown sugar oat dough is whisked together in one bowl (if you melt the butter in a microwave) and used for both the bottom and the top crust. Cherry jam and almonds have a natural affinity for one […]
Browned Butter Pecan Bars
Pecan Bars to Serve a Crowd Almost like pecan pie in bar form, these serve a crowd, are sturdy enough to eat out of hand- and they mail well. Browning the butter for the crust and the filling adds a new dimension – one of buttery richness. And by the way, the crust is pat-in, so […]
