Dulce de Leche
Pure decadence.
Dulce de leche, which literally means “sweet milk” in Spanish, is a heavenly caramel-like sauce beloved across Latin America. Made by slowly cooking sweetened milk until it transforms into a thick, golden delight, it’s a little creamier and not as sweet than your classic caramel but just as dreamy. Think of it as caramel’s sophisticated cousin who always brings dessert to the party. Here’s the great news: dulce de leche is very easy to make, using only one ingredient! Yes, just one.
This golden, creamy delight is like a warm hug in dessert form. Whether you’re swirling it into ice cream, slathering it on toast, or eating it straight from the spoon (hey, no shame here), dulce de leche is pure magic in a jar.
Meltaway Butter Mints
These little butter mints melt right in your mouth, I dare you to eat just one! I have adjusted this recipe so you don’t have to haul out the mixer, just melt the butter instead and mix together the ingredients in one bowl. A fun dough that resembles play dough starts to form and from there, you choose the colours and shapes for these mints. These are great to have on hand when you are hosting, or they make a beautiful gift when presented in a jar or box. Either way, these will be appreciated as a sweet little minty treat.
Salted Peanut Butter Cup Fudge
