It’s that time of year to enjoy the magic and flavors of Christmas.  I’ve always been a fan of mint brownies.  This quickie Mint Oreo Brownie recipe isn’t quite the same, but it does still combine the great flavors of chocolate and mint and is so simple to make-something we can always appreciate when we need another batch of treats to take or a fun goodie to share with friends.

All you need is two ingredients-brownie mix and these great special edition Oreos.  You can use the Peppermint (red filling) or the Mint (green filling) for these fun Christmas Brownies!

It’s hard to beat fresh baked brownies.  These Triple Chocolate Swirl Brownies are loaded with three kinds of chocolate to make them ridiculously good to share with friends and family, or just  to hoard for yourself if you choose!

Okay Rhubarb lovers – this one’s for you!  My mom’s Rhubarb Custard Pie has always been my personal favorite.  I love the mix of the tart rhubarb combined with the creamy filling – perfection.  These Rhubarb Pie Bars have that same great flavor in an easy-to-make bar.  A simple shortbread crust is a yummy stand-in for the pie crust and the taste is just like the amazing pie.

It seems we can never get enough rhubarb recipes in our family – we are always looking for another fun idea to try.  Some other great favorites include Strawberry Rhubarb Sauce,

So they say we’ve all got to go sometime – I can’t think of a more delicious way than these Death by Caramel Bars!! These bars are so apropos for this Halloween week, but you can’t go wrong any time with a bar filled with dulce de leche and snickers candy!  They would be wonderful on your holiday cookie trays or for your next game-day table.

Death by Caramel Cookie Bars

3 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
2 cups unsalted butter, melted

It happens every year in September – a deep craving for fall!  Of course that includes apple pie and all the wonderful flavors fall has to offer.  I love these Apple Pie Bars for any gathering; the taste of apple pie in an easy to serve bar.

You can serve them as is, or to take things completely over the top, serve them warm out of the oven with a scoop of ice cream and a drizzle of caramel!
