These chewy hermit bars are a revelation. They’re wonderfully spicy, plumped with raisins, and amazingly chewy–even fudge-like.

Essentially a slightly tipsy cheesecake, this bourbon-enhanced eggnog pie is something we’re classifying as “holiday desserts for parties where people like to party.”

A cool, creamy version of our favorite pie. Pumpkin ice cream with chunks of crunchy crust and, get this, swirls of marshmallowy meringue.

Not only are these sweet cinnamon sugar-coated pear tarts a breeze to whip up, they look pretty darn impressive, too.

These snacking cakes are the perfect match for your afternoon cup of tea or coffee, though we have been known to sneak a slice (or two!) for breakfast.

These date bars are a classic for good reason. The combination of sweet, sticky date filling nestled between layers of buttery oat dough is completely irresistible.

This lemon drizzle cake is Paul Hollywood’s favorite cake of all time. One bite and you’ll understand why.

Quick bread. Tea cake. Spice bread. Whatever you call it, this recipe has pedigree–and you don’t need to know its geneology to know this. One taste tells all.

Homemade cookies that require only 3 ingredients and no mixer? You bet. It doesn’t get any easier than this, folks.

This rich and creamy chocolate pudding cake is made with cornmeal instead of flour, making it gluten-free.
