Chocolate, caramel, and candy bars make this cake an amazing dessert!

When our kids have tests, we have them study, and then we will quiz them to see how much they really studied. Nothing like a good study session to make you realize how much school stuff you have forgotten and how dumb you have become. That was me the other night. My son had a biology test that he wanted me to quiz him for. Biology is one of those classes I learned at the time, and then promptly forgot as soon as school was over.

Yikes! It has been way too many years since being in school. My brain does not remember things like ATP energy, autotrophs, chloroplasts, adenosine, thylakoids. Shoot! I can't even remember how to pronounce some of those. My son had a good laugh at me as I was asking him some of the things on his papers. The sad thing is that I just went over all those things with him the other day, and I couldn't tell you what any of those are now. Well, maybe chloroplasts...I think those are some sort of plant cell where the color is stored...or something like that. The other ones I have no clue. Obviously I forgot again!

White Chocolate Peppermint Mousse Cheesecakes

These White Chocolate Peppermint Mousse Cheesecakes have been brought to you by PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese.

White chocolate and peppermint layers make this an impressive cheesecake for holiday parties!

I realized that the holidays are still a little ways off, but I have been busy thinking of new holiday treats to try out for this year.

With my entire being completely enamored with peppermint right now, I have been including it into everything I bake. Cookies, truffles, and now cheesecake. Nothing is safe in my kitchen from this peppermint craze. I sure hope you are all stocked up on peppermint chips and baking ingredients. My list might end up being pretty long. Maybe I should just get those fat pants out now...

Mocha Cookies

Mocha Cookies with sprinkles are fun to share with your friends and family and the perfect fall party treat.

Three chocolate kiss cookies on an orange towel.

I am getting myself ready to bake lots and lots of cookies this year. Do I need them? Does anyone want them? The answer to both questions is probably no, but that still isn't going to stop me from making tons of cookies. I'm sure I can find someone to help me eat them all.

This year, I was excited to buy the Pumpkin Spice Kisses again. I bought a bag of them right away, but then the bag just sat there in the cupboard, unopened and lonely.

There was no way I could open the bag for just one kiss. I have self-control issues, and those kisses would have been gone. Not to mention that when my family sees an open bag of candy, they think it is fair game.

I realized this week that it has been 5 years since I started this fun little hobby called blogging.

FIVE YEARS people!!!

That's five years of me rambling on about stuff and posting odds and ends with lots of sugar goodness in between. You guys deserve an award for letting me ramble so much and for filling your bellies with everything and all things sugar.

Of course not all 5 years was sugar.

Candy Corn Blondies

Peanut Butter Candy Corn Blonde Brownies - peanuts, candy corn, and Reese's pieces inside a peanut butter blonde brownie www.insidebrucrewlife.com

Dear Bowl of Fall Goodness,
Why must you be so good together? I thought I could resist the temptation of mixing candy corn, peanuts, and Reese's pieces. That was just silly. Now that the bowl is empty, all I can think about is going to the store for more ingredients for this life-changing snack mix. I'll definitely never stop craving this. I guess that means I need to stock up on bags of candy corn while it's still available.

Dear Teenage Driver,
I know you are so cool now that you can drive, but can I offer one small piece of advice? If you leave the mall and get into your vehicle, please leave the parking spot, especially if you see a black minivan waiting for your up-close parking spot. Do not sit there texting and laughing. And please do not wait until the said black van gives up and drives to the back of the parking lot. The right thing to do is leave as soon as possible so others can utilize those close spots.

Love, The Mom Driver who really wanted your close parking spot (yes, I'm lazy)

Dear BruCrew Readers,
Please, do yourself a favor and buy some candy corn, peanuts, and Reese's Pieces today. I recall that my first letter mentioned this was a dangerous mix. Go ahead and forget about that...you will definitely thank me after you try it. Your pants might hate me, but I can live with that. To help you out a little, I have a blonde brownie recipe that uses up the rest of the snack mix. Yes, it is just as dangerous to eat, but let's live on the edge a little. These peanut butter blonde brownies have so much texture from the snack mix and have such a delicious peanut butter flavor that you just can't stop munching. The candy corn gives the perfect amount of chew in each bite, too. You are going to love them...promise.

Love, The Baker Chick who just realized how long it's been since posting a Blonde Brownie.

Every day around 2 p.m. I start to think about dinner. You caught what I said there, right? I "think" about dinner.

In our home, my husband makes most of our meals. He really enjoys cooking, and I am content to do all the baking. But there are those days that I wonder what I could do for dinner to help out.

I think and think and most of the time just come up with one of our usual meals. My go to meal is usually grilled chicken and BLT Zucchini Salad.

Candy Corn M and M Fudge Brownies - brownies with a white chocolate candy corn colored fudge and M and M's www.insidebrucrewlife.com

So, the other day, I had my little photo "studio" set up right by my front window. This window is right next to the front door with our mailbox right outside that. It was probably noonish (maybe later), and I was sitting on the floor taking pictures of some sort of sugar food.

Now, if I was a morning person who liked to be up and ready to tackle the day, this wouldn't be anything to talk about. But...I was still in my pj's and my hair was in a ponytail.

Yeah, I was looking like your stereotypical housewife. The ponytail was pretty messy with no cute headband to be found. Downright frump city going on I tell you! Gotta love working from home! It has its perks! Although my hubby laughs at me every day when he comes home for lunch.

Salted Caramel Brownie Cheesecake Pie

All thing salted caramel seems to be the rage right now. Enjoy a slice of this Salted Caramel Brownie Cheesecake Pie with a hot cup of coffee after dinner this week. You will be hooked too!

CLICK HERE TO PIN THIS RECIPE FOR LATER!

I'm sure you are questioning my sanity right now. I mean another salted caramel dessert?

Let me tell you that when I get hooked on something, I go all in until the next thing catches my attention. A few years ago (like 14 really) I started scrapbooking. I now own a small scrapbook supply store in my office. Hey, some of those papers work great for back drops. A few years after that I got into rubber stamping. We won't talk about how many stamps I currently own...

My latest hobby/job is food photography, and the need to buy cute inexpensive props comes with that. This is another subject I would like to move from quickly. Let's just say I have enough plates, napkins, and straws to last a life time.

My kids get excited when they see me using the straws because they know this is the only time I let someone use them. What?!? They would use them for every single drink, and then when I need a particular color, it would be gone. Yes...I have hoarding problems. [Read more...]

Apple Butter Cinnamon Rolls

A pan of these easy Apple Butter Cinnamon Rolls makes a great breakfast or afternoon snack. It's like having a warm bite of fall on a plate.

It's supposed to be fall here. Remember how I talked about how excited I was for the chilly weather, the changing leaves, and wearing sweatshirts?

The weather is not cooperating with my desire to be cold and have a cozy sweatshirt on. There were a few days this week when we had the windows open all night long and the house was chilly in the morning, so I got a little too excited and pulled out the sweatshirts.

Both days when I was sitting in the pick up line for school...in the 80* heat...I was seriously regretting my clothing choice. Never mind that I did that two days in a row.

I finally got smart to the fact that we are in the middle of a heat wave, and I wore a t-shirt to our son's soccer game yesterday. An hour and a half of sitting in the sun with a sweatshirt would have definitely distracted me from the game.
