This is not a joke, I repeat this is not a joke! This is not a joke, I repeat this is not a joke!

It’s been over a year since I’ve had a new recipe on the blog and I’m so happy to report that I’m back and have a brand new recipe you don’t want to miss! 

If you haven’t tried @thecravecookies yet, you are totally missing out! Their Pistoffee cookie is to die for and I created a copycat for you guys! It’s loaded with salted pistachios, toffee chunks and semi sweet chocolate! The perfect sweet and salty treat!

I brought these cookies to Bunco last week and girls were stashing them in their bags to take home, they are that yummy!

The only way to eat carrot cake is to top it with the most addicting sweet and salty pecan/pretzel brittle! (Doesn’t that first picture have you drooling 🤤) I promise, you will never go back to normal carrot cake again!
