See the step by step video down in the recipe card. It’s no secret that we love anything Reese’s or peanut butter and chocolate around here! If you’re the kind of person who finds all the fun shapes and Reese’s treats that come out with every holiday totally irresistible, then you will love these homemade Peanut Butter Eggs. The recipe is based off of the Peanut Butter Balls we obsess over at Christmas, but we roll press the filling into a pan and cut it out with an Easter egg cutter before coating in chocolate....

Most versions of slow cooker taco soup include many, many canned ingredients and multiple seasoning packets. That is delicious, but this is a simpler version that uses less ingredients with maximum flavor. Plus, if you have a little taco seasoning left in the packet, this recipe only uses a heaping tablespoon. We’re using basic pantry staples that we already have on-hand for this recipe. If your pantry has canned tomatoes and beans, and your freezer has corn and ground meat, you’re in business!...

The businesses in this gift guide are all from people I know personally, or local people that friends have recommended. I have all of these items in my home, or in my belly. This gift guide is truly from the heart, and I am overjoyed to use my platform to promote these women. As it turns out, women are the stronger sex, and I don’t think that’s been any clearer than during 2020....

Thank goodness it’s s’mores season! We recently moved into a neighborhood that celebrates all things with s’mores. Our neighborhood has fire pits all throughout the common areas, and when the weather is nice, you can almost always count on several fires going. If there’s a festival in one of the parks, extra fire pits are brought in for extra s’mores. It’s just part of the culture here. I’ve been caught more than once without s’mores supplies for an impromptu s’mores date invitation, to which the neighbors who have lived here longer say ‘you must be new here!...

Why this Recipe Works There is something about a good brownie. A brownie is supposed to be: dense, fudgy, and chewy, all at once. Nothing like cake. And for me, the corner pieces do it best, because the extra chew makes it linger in your mouth longer. But what about vegan brownies? I’ve never loved those. That is until I made these with almond butter, maple syrup, and cocoa powder....

Admittedly, the only non-vegan ingredient in my regular small-batch of chocolate cupcakes in my Sweet & Simple cookbook was buttermilk. Happily, the recipe was already egg-free, and so all I have to do is find a buttermilk substitute, right? Substituting milk alternatives for cow’s milk is easy, right? Wrong. Recipe testing for vegan chocolate cupcakes: After a few rounds of sunken cupcakes made with random milk alternatives, I settled on unsweetened almond milk as the best thing to use....

Angel Food Cake Cupcakes My love for angel food stems from my childhood. Angel food tube cakes from the grocery store seemed to always be around, especially at my Grandma’s house. They came in a black plastic tube pan with a clear lid, and I could smell them as soon as I walked into the grocery store with my Mom. There is just something about the crisp sugar crust on the outside of angel food cake that is reminiscent of cotton candy, and what kid doesn’t love cotton candy?...

It’s hard to beat a creamy make-ahead pasta salad in Spring or Summer! Pasta Salads are so versatile that I can always find ways of making various versions of the same recipe, depending on what I have in my fridge at the time (which is great for those veggies you might not get to in time). Check out my 30 Pasta Salad Recipes if you don’t believe me 😉 The combination of bacon, pasta, and cheese in the creamy ranch dressing is deliciously comforting, but it’s great because it’s also packed with veggies!...

PIN THIS RECIPE FOR LATER I am SO excited about this post, friends. When I started thinking about what to make for Cinco de Mayo (it’s coming soon!), so many possibilities came to mind. We could do tacos, or taco bowls. Or baked tacos. Or burrito bowls. I want to make them freezer friendly and make-ahead-able. The chicken…. I could do it on the stovetop, but isn’t that a little boring?...

If you can chop chocolate, whip heavy cream, brew coffee, and stir in an egg yolk, you can have this incredibly chocolate mousse for two. This Chocolate Mousse Recipe is the perfect treat when you need a chocolate fix Rich chocolate mousse for two–it’s so much easier than you thought, right? Of course, this recipe isn’t entirely authentic. I’m using heavy cream instead of egg whites here, and my technique of melting chocolate with hot coffee in the blender would make any French chef angry....

What makes these the BEST Black and White Cookies If you’ve never had a black and white cookie, also sometimes called a half and half cookie, please, add this cookie to your must-make list this year! The internet tells me that black and white cookies originated from a bakery in Manhattan called Glaser’s Bake Shop, and white I haven’t had one from that exact shop, I have eaten many a black and white cookie in New York....

Happy Halloween! I made you spooky, creepy black macarons. And then I ate them all up before it was Halloween and had to make more. Repeat times 3. I used my basic French macaron recipe for the shells. Also, I made a chocolate macaron version, because life is not complete without a chocolate version. I even altered the recipe to make salted caramel macarons, and put it in my cookbook....

Chicken breasts, Little potatoes and cherry tomatoes bake up with Italian herbs and balsamic vinegar, and then they’re topped with melty mozzarella and fresh basil. It’s an easy dinner recipe but it’s just as perfect for entertaining! Love a chicken and potatoes meal? Try this Italian Crockpot Chicken and Potatoes or this One Pan Tuscan Chicken and Potato Skillet next! Baked Caprese Chicken and Potatoes We are just smack in the midst of chaos here in October, aren’t we?...

I drag my heels a bit when it comes to making cinnamon rolls. I love carbz, please don’t get me wrong. But the time it takes for the yeast to rise causes me to stall. So much so that I created a version of no-yeast cinnamon rolls. I love them (and so do you!), but many have asked for a ‘real’ version of cinnamon rolls…with yeast. So, here I am....

Enjoy more of my favorite baked pasta recipes like Rigatoni Pasta Bake, Three Cheese Gnocchi and Lasagna Roll Ups. There’s never a day I don’t feel like curling up with a plate of cheese cannelloni, especially if they’re made with three cheeses! It’s made with three different kinds of Italian cheese: ricotta, parmesan and mozzarella. This cannelloni recipe is the best blend of simple and delicious — we keep it simple with oven-ready noodles but step up the flavor with three incredible cheeses to really make every bite seriously satisfying!...

So I was thinking I was testing these: there are a lot of oatmeal cookie recipes out there. And a lot of chocolate no bake oatmeal cookies out there. But there aren’t very many Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies out there. It seems wrong. I love oatmeal cookies. The chewy, homemade oatmeal cookies (like these Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies!) and not those gross, hard and crumbly store bought oatmeal cookies. I love them with raisins and without....

I often hear from friends (and readers) that regular buttercream is just too sweet. It’s heavy, dense and overly sweet to a point where you just eat the cake after scraping off some of the frosting. I tend to agree most of the time, unless it’s my chocolate buttercream, where I rely on a splash of heavy cream to make it lighter and fluffier. I do the same thing with my vanilla buttercream frosting when I use it for my small batch vanilla cupcakes....

I love Chunky Monkey. I’m actually not a huge peanut-butter-on-its-own kind of person. I don’t ever eat peanut butter on toast. But if you throw peanut butter into a dessert, a cookie, or even oatmeal? Totally different. I also actually have never been a huge granola maker or eater. I attended a food blogging conference where I was given a bag of dark chocolate peanut butter granola in the swag bag, and I’ve just been kind of obsessed....

See the step by step recipe video down in the recipe card. This post is generously sponsored by The Little Potato Company and I was compensated for my time in creating this recipe. Thank you for supporting the brands that make The Recipe Rebel possible! So I’ve been on an air fryer kick for a few months now, and we are loving it. It is the best way to get that golden exterior that we love on this Air Fryer Chicken Breast and these Air Fryer Chicken Wings!...

This crustless pumpkin pie fits into your life so well! Let’s say you crave pumpkin pie, but don’t want to make a whole pie with 10 slices. You can just make this small batch pumpkin pie for two! Or, let’s say you’re avoiding pie crust for dietary reasons. You can make these small ramekins of crustless pie to satisfy your craving without the crust! The main thing I want to emphasize about this recipe is that it tastes just like regular pumpkin pie!...
