 Pepperidge Farm Mixed Berry Baskets – Puff Pastry, glazed berries and whipped cream. What more can you ask for! A while ago, Pepperidge Farm contacted me and asked if I wanted to take on their Puffection™ Springtime Entertaining Challenge. Since the challenge involved puff pastry, I jumped in with both feet!  Creamy Bacon Carbonara Pasta surrounded in a bed of golden flaky, parmesan puff pastry, topped with crisp bacon and parmesan shavings! Is your mouth watering yet? It should be! 
There goes my diet! LOLMay 10, 2013 – 9:34 am 
How fun! I’ve never seen pastry shells like that beforeMay 9, 2013 – 9:14 am  Sinfully Delicious Desserts, is exactly what this Cookbook promises. Apple Crisp on its own is fabulous, but orange juice glazed apples and apricots pulled me in!  Just the other day, I was waiting my turn in the check out line. I could feel my heart thumping, and I’m sure the lady waiting behind me could also hear it! “Calm down, you idiot, you used it before, and you didn’t screw up!” . . . I thought to myself. I swiped my… 
Hi Debbie, I’m glad that I’m not the only one in the dark ages! JonnaMay 7, 2013 – 5:39 pm 
Can’t wait to try as these are a big favorite . I am glad to hear that I am not the only one out there that does not use a debit card and I do not have an I phone.by the way glad to discover your blog.May 7, 2013 – 5:34 pm
Hi Lorraine, These cookies are soft and chewy and really good! JonnaApril 29, 2013 – 5:16 pm 
I am definitely swipe-challenged. Even those little pictures don’t always help. Just wondering about the cookies – whether they’re soft or crispy? I love soft molasses cookies, but I’ve never had one’s that looked this pretty. Definitely giving it a try….. soon.April 29, 2013 – 5:02 pm 
No debit card for me Jonna….and no ATM card…..and like chitown girl-still write checks to pay the bills. I like to pick up a book and hold it in my hands rather than read off a tablet…. The way I did it in the good ol’ days works just as well for me today. Those cookies are one of my favorites too…..they look delicious with that white chocolate dip.April 27, 2013 – 7:22 am 
Wow. I could really relate to what you said about “comfort zones”. I may have a debit card, but I don’t have an i-phone, smart phone, i-pad, mp3 player {or whatever the latest thing is now – i-pod??} and I certainly couldn’t do what you do here on this amazing and gorgeous blog. ; ) So I learn something new from you everyday. Thanks for being SO real. Love that we all have something to relate to. My goal is to get on a plane, train or ship someday. lol.April 26, 2013 – 6:22 pm 
Just for the record, I don’t have a debit card, either. Nor do I have an ATM card. And, yes, I still write checks everywhere.  ZipList – The perfect solution for Saving and Printing recipes, seems to be one of the hottest trends – turned “Classic.” I’m happy to be proudly wearing it on this blog! 
I love Ziplist! I have been using it for months now and it is my go to for meal planning, list making and also sending the hubby to the store with my list (that he can pull up on his phone). I’m excited to easily save your yummy recipes on ZL so I don’t have to toggle back and forth!April 24, 2013 – 9:00 pm
Hi Niki, I’ve seen this, and I agree it’s very nice! JonnaApril 24, 2013 – 5:26 pm 
I’ve looked at ZipList and it is lacking too many options that an app I currently use, MENU-PLANNER has. MENU-PLANNER allows everything ZL does (except 1 thing which I will come back to), plus it allows you to SCAN bar codes, make changes to imported recipes, it keeps track of items in your pantry, and allows you to not just plan recipes but food items (for example, if you want to include a box of rice pilaf with your meal). It can track recent prices for items at different stores. It allows you to track calories or points for your menu as well. MENU-PLANNER seems to have so many more options that ZipList and without all the annoying advertisements. The only thing ZL has that MP does not is the ability to search local ads for sales, but since the creator of MP has always been open to suggestions and made improvement based on them, it could very well be coming soon.April 24, 2013 – 10:53 am 
This app is super cool. Thank you so much for sharing!April 24, 2013 – 1:54 am  You’ve probably heard the saying . . . Puttin’ on the Ritz. If you have thirty seconds and just four ingredients, you can make this spectacular dessert! This is the perfect crowd pleaser at the end of a meal, when you need “a little something sweet!” 
I love this. Dad is so funny. Egg mcmuffin gets a huge praise… And to want dessert. I love those ritz things. They are so yum. I have never drizzled fudge over it though. MmmmmmmApril 22, 2013 – 8:05 am 
Hey, thanks, I’m trying to lose weight here! It’s toooo easy and yummy!! I have a saying (while I’m still eating) “this is a dessert supper”. Somehow you just know….lol!April 20, 2013 – 1:13 am 
oh my gosh. so simple and so delish…drooling!April 19, 2013 – 8:05 pm 
oh. I cannot wait to try this, seriously mouth watering! (also stunning – great photos!).April 19, 2013 – 5:53 pm 
Fun!! This sounds super tasty!!April 19, 2013 – 5:19 pm  In the past, they have said that Blondes have more fun. Recently, the news reports that brunettes are winning that race. Who comes up with all this crap anyway? A few blonde highlights do make me feel brighter and happier however, so possibly these peanut butter blondies will make you happy as well. 
I found these in family circle, just like you did. Went to the magazine page but too much trouble to register etc., and found you instead. Love your humorous style cooking talk….May 4, 2013 – 5:37 pm 
This recipe is amazing. I made these the day you posted them. They stayed so soft and moist… even by the time we got to the second pan! This is officially my go-to PB Bar recipe!
Hi Thomas, Yes! JonnaApril 16, 2013 – 8:14 am 
These look divine, but it makes a lot. Do you suppose it would halve easily?April 16, 2013 – 7:48 am 
These look and sound amazing!! Thank you for sharing this – I see it being made in my very near future 
I like to take a big pan of goodies to my 85 year old Mom’s home on Sunday evening. Kids, grand kids and great grand kids come to visit. This looks like the perfect treat for Sunday. Thanks.April 11, 2013 – 11:04 pm
I am a sucker for anything peanut butter. YUM!!! These are going to have to go on my try list ASAP. They really do look beautiful with the chopped pieces on top. You are always so creative, and display such beautiful {and very tasty} treats!
I’m all over this! Awesome idea!April 11, 2013 – 1:51 pm
The chopped pieces on top seal the deal.April 11, 2013 – 1:41 pm  Definition of FUDGE: 1. a soft creamy candy made typically of sugar, milk, butter, and flavoring 2. to fail to perform as expected (1) I made Fudge + (2) I didn’t get this post up before Easter = completion of FUDGE ! 
Thank you so much for all your wonderful recipes. Going to try the fudge this weekend.May 6, 2013 – 9:45 am
Hi Camille, I found the cute spoons at Zurchers. JonnaApril 26, 2013 – 12:15 pm 
These are SO, SO cute! I can’t wait to try them! Can you tell us where you got the adorable spoons?April 25, 2013 – 10:13 pm
Hi Amy, I think you’re right. There is nothing better than warm fudge! JonnaApril 11, 2013 – 10:03 am 
Jonna, I’m pretty sure this recipe just made all my wildest dreams come true! Tubs of fudge is the best idea ever. I love that the toppings can be customized for individual taste. How fun would this be as a build your own fudge tub bar at a party? Just think of all the tasty toppings you could line up for the tubs!April 11, 2013 – 7:35 am
Thank you sweet Brandi!
I just think these are so adorable! I laughed at the Fudge pun… serioysly outloud! You are just to cute mom. Your visiting teachers one very lucky to have you. Mmmmm I am beyond proud of you! You are taken something you love and made it into so much more. What an honor. You should be very proud of yourself. You are amazing in EVERY way! Love you MomApril 10, 2013 – 1:10 pm
Hi Katy, I believe I had at least 15 little tubs of fudge! JonnaApril 10, 2013 – 10:06 am 
Love this idea, so creative! Do you know how many tubs one batch made from your recipe?April 10, 2013 – 9:42 am 
If only I were on your vt beat…LOVE your recipes! And congratulations!April 8, 2013 – 7:59 am 
Well done! I’m not surprised, just thrilled that I was able to open and enjoy this information – and the fudge recipe. I hope this is a trend, but I don’t want to jinx this! (=April 6, 2013 – 11:46 am
Congratulations Jonna! You earned it. Your recipes are the ultimate comfort food, easy to make, simple ingredients, never disappoint and TASTY! That is why you are chosen. Thank you.April 6, 2013 – 1:18 am
Love, love, love this idea! I’ve visited the same 3 sisters for many years. I take a treat most months–I’m always looking for new fun ideas. Perfect. Thanks.
Hi Lynn, Thanks so much. I love you too!
Congratulations! You TRULY deserve to be on that list! Now I am off to go make me some fudge. Gosh, that looks so good. And what a great idea to give away as gifts. So darn cute! Thanks.April 5, 2013 – 7:10 pm  Spring has sprung somewhere. Last week it came for a brief moment, but was carried off in the wind. Early this morning, long before my eyes opened, my ears could hear the chirping of cold baby birds. Their beaks are probably skyward, open wide and hungry for food. From a distance, I’ve been keeping my… 
Love your website and your photos.April 3, 2013 – 4:32 am
These are so cute! The recipe does look like a keeper. Thanks for the fun post.March 26, 2013 – 4:08 pm
I love carrot cake and this looks amazing. I think they are just darling to. I would be happy to start a business with you any time your interested!!!!!March 25, 2013 – 4:08 pm 
I can’t wait to try the carrot cake cupcakes. They look absolutely delish. The blue birds are really cute too!March 23, 2013 – 8:21 am

Get Off Your Butt and BAKE - Hi Donna,
I’m having the same problem! I will contact ZipList and see if they can help me figure this out.
Thanks for letting me know.
JonnaMay 7, 2013 – 9:58 am
Donna Kubik - Hello,
I tried to save the mixed berry basket recipe to my recipe box and it saved the carrot cake with cream cheese pecan frosting instead. I do not know how to change this as I clicked on the save to recipe box/file on the actual recipe.
I really enjoy your blog and look forward to all of your recipes and pictures.
Thanks,
Donna KubikMay 7, 2013 – 9:32 am
Get Off Your Butt and BAKE - Hi Gary,
The design is already on the Pepperidge Farm shells.
Amazing little things!
JonnaMay 6, 2013 – 5:28 pm
Gary - What makes the little design on the pastries before you place them in the oven?May 6, 2013 – 1:38 pm
Katrina @ Warm Vanilla Sugar - These are super gorgeous!May 6, 2013 – 9:50 am
