*Aww*, Teacher’s Appreciation Week… It’s just another perfect reason to bake!
I baked these sinfully delectable treats three times last week because I just couldn’t get enough of them! One dish went to my daughter’s Junior High School for the Teacher’s Appreciation Luncheon, the second went to my Junior High School for our Principal’s Cookout and the third dish, well, it stayed home to satisfy the sweet-tooth of the family and our super cool cousin and uncle who came all the way down from Ohio for a week-long visit!
This recipe is so easy to whip together! We’re talking 5-min to prep and 25 min to bake! 


The school year is finally coming to an end. I am going to miss all the fantastic kids who are moving up to the High School this fall. I do believe I have discovered the worst part about my job, and that is seeing all those bright smiling faces move on. :)
