Desserts – Soup's On with Schallock

Super Soft Peanut Butter Blossoms

It is my personal belief that all cookies are better when they are super soft. There is nothing more disappointing than picking up a cookie and discovering it’s crunchy. This summer I was in charge of baking a dessert for a family reunion. Cole’s family reunion is a very active event, with people grabbing snacksContinue reading “Super Soft Peanut Butter Blossoms”

Summertime Crisp

Desserts are simply the best. There, I said it. Most of the time I hold a strict mantra that, “Dessert is not worth eating unless it has chocolate in it.” However, Cole loves fruity desserts, especially ones that have apples or peaches in them, so out of love for my husband, I decided that thisContinue reading “Summertime Crisp”

Coffee Infused Brownies

If I were to rewind the clock and go back six years, I can predict exactly what I would be doing on a brisk spring morning like today. I would walk over to the Cabin, the campus coffee shop, buy a large mocha latte with a brownie on the side, and spend the rest ofContinue reading “Coffee Infused Brownies”

When I first started baking cakes, frosting was something that IContinue reading “Dark Chocolate Buttercream Frosting”

Apple Crunch

I may not be a huge fan of apple desserts, but Cole loves them, and this recipe is his absolute favorite. The concept behind this dish is very similar to apple crisp, with an apple filling layer, and a crispy top; however, since Cole isn’t a huge fan of oats that are traditionally in crisps,Continue reading “Apple Crunch”

Pumpkin Spice Sugar Cookies

and Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting Sugar cookies are one of Cole’s absolute favorite desserts. He loves them so much, but I have never been a fan of them. However, this fall I had a spark of inspiration. I am crazy about all pumpkin spice desserts, and I decided that I would probably enjoy sugar cookies ifContinue reading “Pumpkin Spice Sugar Cookies”

Mocha Latte Cheesecake

and Mini Mocha Latte Bites I didn’t start drinking plain coffee until my senior year of college. That is the time when coffee became a necessity while trying to balance the full 8 hour day of a student teacher followed by a couple of hours of work in the evening. Before becoming a coffee addict,Continue reading “Mocha Latte Cheesecake”

S’more Brownies

I LOVE brownies, and yes, the word LOVE does deserve to be in all capitalized letters when we are discussing this particular food. Brownies are gooey, chocolatey deliciousness served in a pan, and when I’m faced with a pan of them, I literally cannot stop myself from digging in. I mean seriously, it’s bad. TheContinue reading “S’more Brownies”
