Butter Tart Squares

October 12, 2019 by Nicole 2 Comments

Butter Tart Squares | Culinary Cool www.culinary-cool.com

A classic Canadian dessert, revisited to make it quicker and easier than ever! With a 3-month old baby, I’m still finding it hard to get a lot of things done – especially cooking big meals and baking.  And I love baking, so it’s killing me a little that I can’t do it as often.  But…

Black Forest Black Bean Brownies

July 31, 2018 by Nicole 13 Comments

Brownie on a small plate, topped with whipped cream and a large cherry

Rich and fudgy brownies, made with black beans, loaded with chocolate and cherries, are a healthier take on the classic Black Forest Cake. This is my favourite time of year in Saskatchewan.  The weather is perfect, almost always sunny, and I’m soaking it in as best I can.   I’ve spent a great deal of…

Close up of seven marshmallow squares. three are tilted to the side, to expose the colourful marshmallows inside.

These beauties go by many names; Peanut Butter Confetti Squares, Butterscotch Confetti Squares, Peanut Butter Marshmallow Squares,  Peanut Butter Butterscotch Marshmallow Squares, and pretty much every other variation of the like.  Regardless of what name you associate with this dessert, we can all agree that they’re full of nostalgia and superbly delicious. Of all the retro…

Cuban Lunches

Cuban Lunches | Culinary Cool www.culinary-cool.com

Sometimes, and perhaps more often than I care to admit, I get a wickedly insatiable craving for chocolate.  I’m not above eating chocolate chips by the handful – whatever works in a pinch.  But truthfully, that doesn’t always do the trick.  Sometimes, I also want something a little salty, too. Enter, Cuban Lunches. Have you…

Chestnut Praline White Chocolate Brownies | Culinary Cool

Sometimes I feel like white chocolate gets overlooked, don’t you think?  This holiday season, white chocolate totally redeems itself in these fudgy Chestnut Praline White Chocolate Brownies.  Now that December is in full swing, I’ve found it totally acceptable to buy 5 lbs of butter at one time and just bake all weekend.  No one gives me…

Cream Egg Nanaimo Bars

Cream Egg Nanaimo Bars | Culinary Cool

Nanaimo Bars, like Butter Tarts, are quintessentially Canadian.   Everyone’s got a recipe for it that has been passed down from someone else and everybody loves them.  And rightfully so!  How can you resist a Nanaimo Bar?  The base is similar to a brownie, only better (obviously) because it’s mixed with walnuts and coconut.  It’s topped…

Strawberry Nutella Shortbread Cake Squares

Strawberry Nutella Cake

It’s probably safe to say that I’m a choco-holic.  I love pretty much anything with chocolate in it or on it.   So you may find it odd that I’m not a fan of chocolate cake.  I will almost always choose vanilla.   That being said, I love vanilla cake with some kind of chocolate…

Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Brownies

Gluten Free Chocolate Brownies | Culinary Cool

I’m fairly certain everyone loves brownies. They’re rich, alluring, and there are so many variations – there’s something to please everyone.   This variation is perfect for those who cannot have, or are avoiding, gluten.   Skipping out on the wheat flour doesn’t mean you have to forego the decadence that is associated with gooey,…

Peanut Butter Marshmallow Brownies

Peanut Butter Marshmallow Brownies | Culinary Cool

I encountered quite the dilemma the other night when I got home from the gym (yes, the gym).  Should I make brownies, or my fave peanut butter and butterscotch marshmallow bars?  Seriously guys, it was a tough decision and I really didn’t feel like compromising.  But, I also didn’t want to  have two different types…
