It’s officially grilled pizza season again and our Friday night pizza nights have made a comeback!  This year, we plan on laying off the heavier sauces and cheeses and opting for lighter pizzas (like this Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad Pizza).  But pizza night is back, baby!  It’s time to fire up the charcoal grill and make good use out of our outdoor cooking station! 

We’ve been grilling our pizzas outside during the summer for years now.  When our garden is bursting with herbs, tomatoes, and peppers, the topping combinations become endless for us!  But one thing I really wanted to try was a grilled dessert pizza made with chocolate hazelnut spread and strawberries.

I had some pizza dough to use up in our freezer. My sister and I had grilled pizza for lunch one day.  I decided to experiment with the other and made an incredibly delicious dessert pizza that will make an amazing summer dessert! 

Just like making traditional pizza on the grill, I stretched and oiled the dough first.  Then, I heated the grill to medium and placed the oiled dough on the grates.  You’ll know when it’s time to flip when the dough bubbles and you get nice grill marks.

The perfect grilled dessert pizza for pizza night!

 
Flip your dough and continue cooking. Now, if you were making a traditional grilled pizza, this is where you would add your sauce, cheese, and toppings. But since we’re making a dessert pizza, we’re going to add everything right before we slice and serve it.

Instead of sauce, I spread chocolate hazelnut spread on the dough.  Then, I topped it with sliced strawberries, chopped hazelnuts, fresh mint, and a dusting of powdered sugar.

It’s entirely optional, but I also sprinkled the warm dough with Flavor God’s Buttery Cinnamon Roll seasoning (you could also use cinnamon sugar).  It kind of made the crust taste like a doughnut!

Satisfy your sweet tooth with this easy Bunny Bait Easter Muddy Buddies (or Puppy Chow) recipe!  It’s a delicious Easter snack or dessert that your little “bunnies” will love!


Happy April!  With Easter coming up in just a few weeks, I’ve gotten quite a sweet tooth again!  But my sweet tooth has been satisfied – at least for now – while snacking on this recipe!  For the past couple of months, all I’ve seen on Instagram is different Muddy Buddies (also called Puppy Chow) combinations that look so delicious.  I had never had Muddy Buddies of any kind before!  So I figured it was about time to see what all the fuss was about and made a cute Muddy Buddies recipe for Easter.

Why didn’t anyone tell me how good this stuff is?!

Okay, okay.  I probably should have known that Muddy Buddies were going to be amazing.  After all, I make a White Chocolate Cranberry Chex Bark for Christmas almost every year.  Not only do I think it’s delicious, my family practically begs for it!  So I know I’ll have to make another batch of this Muddy Buddies recipe for our Easter celebrations this year!


Have you ever had Muddy Buddies before?  This simple “Bunny Bait” snack recipe will satisfy your craving for something sweet this Easter season! 

Chex cereal gets coated in a white chocolate and peanut butter combination, which is pretty freaking tasty on its own!  But then, it’s tossed with powdered sugar and topped with coconut flakes and fun Easter sprinkles!  It’s a pretty little springtime Chex mix that tastes so good!

Bunny Bait Easter Muddy Buddies – a seriously sweet Easter treat!

 
I’ve seen Muddy Buddies recipes that look like they’ve had about an entire bag of powdered sugar poured over them.  My teeth hurt just looking at them!  While most recipes start with two cups of sugar, I started with one cup and worked my way up.  

I also didn’t toss in the coconut flakes or sprinkles until the very end.  Instead, I used them as a topping so I could better control the amount of sweetness.  I also wanted the colorful sprinkles to really “pop” in this mix.  If you want an extra touch of bunny cuteness, you could add some mini marshmallows for “cotton tails!”  I just thought this mix was sweet enough already.

You’ll feel lucky to have these 20 St. Patrick’s Day Desserts on hand to keep your St. Patrick’s Day pinch-free!  Your Irish celebration just got a whole lot sweeter! 


Is St. Patrick’s Day a big deal in your house?  For as long as I can remember, I have always had corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick’s Day.  What I can’t remember is having a St. Patrick’s Day inspired dessert to follow.  Our St. Patrick’s Day sweets never really went beyond a slice of Irish Soda Bread toasted with a little butter.  That’s all well and good, but after finding these recipes, I feel like I’ve been seriously missing out! 

For as long as my husband and I have been together, we’ve always had corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick’s Day, too.  Occasionally, a nice loaf of rye bread has shown up on the table, too, to make sandwiches.  My husband’s not much of corned beef and cabbage guy.  He thinks eating it once a year is enough.  I, on the other hand, could eat corned beef sandwiches all throughout the year. 

So maybe this year I’ll figure out a way to make our St. Patrick’s Day dinner tradition a little sweeter for him!  After all, I love spoiling him with homemade goodies!  I’ll definitely have enough inspiration to work off of with these 20 St. Patrick’s Day dessert recipes!
