Edible Chanukah House Giveaway (Ends 12/2)

by

Being Jewish has its advantages. I mean, how much fun is getting presents for eight straight nights? On the flip side, we don’t get to decorate Christmas trees, hang lights outside our house, kiss under the misletoe, or yes, even decorate Gingerbread Houses. Sure we could do any of those, but they’re all pretty much associated with Christians. So instead, we spin our dreidels, stuff our faces with potato latkes (mmmmm), and light about a …

And it has to be the …

Magic Cookie Bars: Only the Greatest Thing You Will Ever Put In Your Mouth

by

I recently shared with you guys what I thought of those super-hard-to-find new limited-edition Candy Corn Oreos. Word on the street from most people I’ve talked is that they agree. The cookies are good but nothing super spectacular. In other words… Hey, Nabisco! Next time give it WAY more candy corn flavor! What did surprise me, though, was that I was flooded with questions from my readers and friends asking me for the recipe to …
