Red Velvet Oreo Truffle Hearts

February 3, 2015 By Allyson Zea 9 Comments

There is a lot of work that goes into making homemade treats! Your significant other would be very impressed with these Red Velvet Oreo Truffle Hearts!

Need a simple but amazingly delicious dessert recipe for Valentine’s Day? These Red Velvet Oreo Truffle Hearts are perfect. They make a fantastic gift or make them for yourself to enjoy.

I am really excited to share this recipe with the Just Us Four readers today! I love making Oreo Cookie Truffle Balls, but I thought it would be fun to mix things up for Valentine’s Day and make some Red Velvet Oreo Truffle Hearts!

There are a little time consuming, but totally worth it. I ended up bringing all my goodies to a Super Bowl party on Sunday and they were gone before half time! This oreo truffles recipe are a total win!

Peanut Butter Nutella Brownies

April 22, 2014 By Shannah Coe 2 Comments

I am a total Nutella junkie. I can definitely be found eating it straight from the jar {I keep my own so it isn’t gross}. But, if you add Nutella to peanut butter, watch out. It is my all time favorite way to enjoy Nutella. In fact, I am pretty sure I invented the ultimate snack of toasted English muffins with peanut butter on one side and Nutella on the other {don’t bust my bubble if I didn’t, okay?}. I was looking for a way to combine my love of peanut butter and Nutella into a dessert {you know, besides pizza} and came up with peanut butter Nutella brownies. You can thank me later…I accept all kinds of wine 😉

A Glimpse: You’ve Been Elfed

In December, Krusteaz hosted a Virtual Baking Event. I had big plans to get all of my favorite people together and make some holiday goodies. Then, life took over! We all had packed schedules and no one could carve out the time to come over and bake. So, I decided to do some baking for them instead!

Holiday Baking: Bacon Chile Cornbread Mini Muffins

December 8, 2013 By Shannah Coe 7 Comments

Every potluck I go to during the holiday season is missing one thing: savory breads or muffins. We have a lot of chili, tons of soups or pastas and more than our share of desserts. But, I like a little bread with my soup or chili so I am always left missing the one thing that just isn’t there. For our office holiday potluck and my own Christmas party, I set out to remedy that problem by baking cayenne bacon chile cornbread mini muffins.

Salted Caramel M&M Bars

December 6, 2013 By Shannah Coe 8 Comments

It is December which means sweets are everywhere! Every party you go to has an amazing dessert table. Heck, I even find candy canes randomly around my house and am left to wonder where they came from. I can only handle so much peppermint, gingerbread or cinnamon though. Sometimes, I just want chocolate and non-holiday flavors. So, for the recent potluck I was attending, I decided to buck the trend of peppermint treats and not make anything really holiday related. Instead, I made salted caramel M&M bars.

Boozy Baking: Orange Riesling Whoopie Pies

April 17, 2013 By Shannah 19 Comments

I have a good friend who is known for her boozy desserts. She was the first person to really introduce me to the idea of a “boozy” cupcake and I was hooked from then on. Boozy baking has become a regular thing in the Just Us Four house since then.

She’s been pretty busy with a little bundle of joy and hasn’t had much time to feed my cupcake cravings. So, I decided to undertake a little boozy baking of my own.
Full Disclosure: By baking, I definitely mean starting with a boxed mix…exact measurements required for real baking are just too much for my brain.
