I have seen lots of people posting their top 11 most popular posts of the year.  I thought this would be a great way to end the year!  I have a new site, and new readers so many of you may not have seen these great older posts!  Stay tuned for 2012, lots of great things to come!

#11 Twix Peanut Butter Brownies – Peanut Butter Twix mixed into a fudgy brownie!

 

#10 Homemade Nutella – I have a slight obsession with Nutella.  I made my own out of roasted Hazelnuts!

 

#9 Smokey Garlic Chicken Pasta – This pasta is super easy to make, and it is so good!  It gets a slightly smokey flavor from barbeque sauce and bacon, but is is a comforting creamy pasta dish.

 

#8 Chick Fil-A Chicken Nuggets – My son loves chicken nuggets, so I was super excited to try this recipe.  I think if you used Peanut Oil they would be really close!

 

#7 Strawberry Crumb Bars – We went strawberry picking and came home with pounds and pounds of fresh berries.  These bars were just one of the many things I made.  They were a big hit at my husbands work, and would be great with all different kinds of fruit!

 

#6 S’mores Bars – S’mores are such a classic summer treat.  These bars are so easy you can enjoy them all year around!  Graham cracker crust, chocolate chip cookie base that is studded with marshmallows, and then topped with Hershey bars!

 

#5 Nutella Cupcakes – Apparently you guys share my obsession for Nutella!  These cupcakes are a chocolate lover’s dream!  Chocolate cupcake filled with Nutella, and then topped with a Nutella butter cream frosting.  I am drooling just thinking about these little guys.

 

#4 Homemade Goldfish – Make your own homemade cheese crackers at home.  So easy, just a few ingredients.  This includes instructions for a simple make your own goldfish cutter!

 

#3 Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Brownies – The name kind of says it all here!  Fudgy brownie topped with peanut butter cookie dough!  Then I topped with a chocolate ganache and peanut butter glaze.  These are so rich and delicious!

 

#2 Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Cookie Bars – This is what happens when Chocolate Chip Cookies meet Cheesecake!  Super easy, and oh so good!

 

AND…..

#1 Peanut Butter Bars – No bake bars that taste very similar to Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

 

Thank you to everyone of you who reads this.  It has been a wonderful year getting to know you!  I am looking forward to 2012, and what other delicious treats  I can share with you.
