5-Ingredient S’mores Puff Pastry Pop-Tarts
Yes, I’m bringing the puff pastry back! Considering the fact that they’re s’mores flavored you can probably guess what at least 3 of those ingredients are. Yep, we’re taking the pieces that make up a great s’more and stuffing them into puff pastry for a really simple treat that will convince everyone you spent hours on them, when in reality they only take about 35 minutes. Score! So my cousins are still staying with us and I love this because they’re a great source of inspiration when I need to make something new. A few days ago I was asking which things I needed to try making while they were here and one…

Coconut Vanilla Fluffy Bunny Ears Cupcakes (Vegan)
Somehow it’s approaching the end of another month again. How did that happen? Wow, is it just me or is 2018 passing lightning fast? It’s already almost the first of April you guys and coincidentally that’s also Easter Sunday this year. I’ve already ranted about my confusion over Easter’s jumping date on the calendar every year so I won’t go into that, but I am curious, are you getting sunny weather yet? I’ve heard some of my blogger friends over in Colorado and even Montana are still getting snow up in the mountains. Spring seems to be taking it’s sweet time getting here this year, at least for this area. Since it’s almost…

Triple Layer Caramel Crack Brownie Bars (Vegan)
It’s been too long since the last time I created a new outrageously layered cookie bar, don’t you think? Well, recently with all the holidays upon us I’ve been baking a lot for my family and it’s always fun to throw something new into the mix along with all the seasonal favorites. That’s why it’s pretty dangerous to leave any unwanted candy or baking ingredients around me for long, because they will inevitably end up in a dessert. It’s been almost a month since Halloween but there’s always those stray candies left that didn’t get eaten by the hungry kiddos, or is that just in my house? Well, for some reason the…

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Stuffed Hi-Hat Cupcakes
Uh huh, yep….I did it, I went there!…..and there’s some serious cookie dough/chocolate craziness goin’…. down …..today! There are some things from childhood that I think we are all more than happy to wave adiĂłs to in the rear-view mirror of our lives, like straight-across bangs and high school drama. But cookie dough, and I mean like real deal, eaten out of the bowl by the spoonful, that’s something no one should have to grow out of. At least, I don’t think I’ll ever grow out of my love for it. Hmmmmm…..I’m trying to decide where to even start in talking about these cupcakes because I’m just gushing with excitement! Remember last weekend…

2nd Blogiversery & an 8-layer S’mores Cookie Cake!!! (Vegan)
Guess what guys……….do you know what tomorrow is for the blog? Okay yeah, so I probably shouldn’t have put it in the post title if I wanted that to be more than a rhetorical question, but now you obviously know Gringalicious is turning 2! It’s so sureal for me that it’s already been that long. I actually don’t count the first few months in my own mind because I spent them just triying to get through setting it up and figuring out what I was doing. I didn’t really start blogging until about May or June and even then it was a work in progress. Oh my gosh, there are so many embarassing posts…

Marshmallow Fondant + Mini Layer Cakes (Vegan)
Have you ever fantasized having an entire cake all to yourself and eating it all in one sitting? OMG, me too! I have an idea, let’s do it for reals! Okay, so my actual idea is a bit more reasonable than trying to take on a triple layer wedding cake and it doesn’t require competitive eating skills, but I think it’s still pretty awesome. Let’s make petit fours! Well, these are a little bigger than petit fours but you get the idea. Mini cakes for everyone! So I’m sure at some point in your life we’ve all asked how we look and received the answer “it’s on the inside that counts”. Anyone? (Fine, maybe…

Rich and Dark Hot Cocoa Triple Layer Cake (Vegan)
Okay, my chocolate obsession is showing again. I’m serious you guys, I think at least 85%, if not more, of the baking I do include chocolate. It’s something that can’t be helped. You just have to learn to go with it, so I have. The day I made this cake I was obviously in the mood to make something majorly chocolate. I have to tell you that this was somewhat inspired by my excitement for the holidays coming up on us in the near future. I know we have to get thought the end of the summer festivities first, and this is absolutely perfect for that with its campfire-y s’mores vibe going on.…
