Banana Chip Butterscotch Pudding Cookies
My family loves banana bread. I even have a favorite “go to” banana bread recipe. However, I bake it and we enjoy it at home. I don’t mail it. A very, very long time ago, my mother sent me a care package at college. It wasn’t a regular occurrence, so I was pretty excited. I’m…

Apple Pie Pudding Cookies, Lemon Meringue Pie Pudding Cookies, Grasshopper Pie Pudding Cookies
In most cases, mailing a pie in a care package is not a good idea. Crème pies need refrigeration. Fruit pies leak. All pies don’t appreciate being turned upside down or being tossed about. Pies are not sturdy and sturdy is what you look for in care package baked goods. So how about something that…
Chewy Chocolate Toffee Marshmallow Cookie Bars
About 7 years ago, Starbucks had a pastry called Fantasy Bars. The chocolate chunk filled dough tasted like a chocolate chip cookie but also incorporated the taste and texture of crunchy toffee. My son adored these bars. Once a week, after middle school, a Fantasy Bar was his after school snack. For some reason, Starbucks…
