Butter Mint Oreo Ice Cream Bars? When I first heard of this concoction, I thought it sounded so crazy. How could it possibly be good? Butter mints don’t go with ice cream and Oreos. But, my sister crossed her heart, and hoped to die. So, I believed her, and I’m so glad I did. I’ve…

To make these, you need: flour, cocoa powder, salt, UNsalted butter, sugar, eggs, milk, vanilla, chopped pecans,…

So, this Chocolate Toffee Trifle is one of those desserts that is so insanely easy but when you bring it in the room…mouths drop. People think you went “all out” and “spent soooo much time” making this fancy schmancy trifle…but, you didn’t. Nope, after the cakes bake…it literally takes 10 minutes to put it together….
