Desserts

Quick and easy desserts are my specialty!  Our family craves chocolate desserts like these Chocolate Syrup Brownies and easy cakes the most.

Our most popular dessert on Pinterest is hands down these Cinnamon Cream Cheese Bars.  We love cream cheese in a dessert.  It’s so simple to add to a box of cake mix to make Gooey Butter Cake or better yet Chocolate Gooey Butter Cake.

The first recipe I shared is the BEST Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe.  Our family makes these cookies or our Cowboy Cookie Bars the most.  

The most popular cake we have shared is our Best Moist and Delicious Chocolate Cake from a box mix.  It’s always served at family birthday parties unless we’re trying to create another variation of it like our White Chocolate Cupcakes, Triple Chocolate Fudge Cake or Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cake.

The desserts I crave most often are Cream Puff Cake, Cinnamon Applesauce Muffins, Pineapple Pretzel Salad and Old-Fashioned Homemade Ice Cream.

If no-fuss desserts are your thing I hope you’ll take a look around and find something you love!
