The Comfort of Cooking

A dose of pumpkin spice makes the classic sugary-sweet crisp cereal treats a little more grown-up, but a drizzle of white chocolate ensures they’re still plenty sweet. If you’re looking for a boozy batch, try our White Russian Cereal Treats, but these pumpkin spice sweets are fit to share with the kids. Get the recipe.

While certain children may egg houses, you know they’re best when cooked and consumed. Add some truly devilish heat to your deviled eggs with Sriracha, and for the occasion, swap out the cilantro for toasted black sesame seeds, which play well with with the flavors and make a perfect color partner with the orange pickled carrots. Get our Sriracha Deviled Eggs recipe.

Spiked Apple Galette

Think candy apples that aren’t hard on your teeth. This dish is more of a time commitment, but believe us, it’s worth it. You’ll have the house smelling like the delicate balance between sweet cinnamon and mouth-watering, buttery goodness. While you wait for it to bake, you can throw together a warm Hot Toddy with the leftover apple brandy. Get our Spiced Apple Galette recipe.

Peanut Butter Nutella Candy Bar Brownie

If you’re going to make your own ice cream, it better be boozy. This recipe yields an ice cream that’s at once rich and icy, making the perfect base for a float or sundae—and, of course, it’s incredible on its own. Get our Mexican Chocolate Ice Cream recipe.
