Apple Spice Blondies
You all know how much I love a good blondie. They are quick, easy, and delicious...all the things a recipe should be. And while they aren't exactly a health food, they are rich and indulgent enough that a small serving can sooth even the most aggressive sweet cravings.
For fall, I've taken my basic blondie and appled it up a bit. I give to you, the Apple Spice Blondie!
All the flavors of an apple pie, but in a thick, enjoyable, comforting blondie. Here's what you do:

Brown Butter Basil Caramels
Oh my yum.
I want to write something witty, I really do, but my brain is not quite all there today. Long story involving giggly third graders sleeping over and sleep deprivation, and, quite possibly, sugar overload from sampling this recipe of caramels I just made.

Garden Mint Honey Caramels
There may be a crack in the universe. I feel like a kid who was told by a friend that Santa's not real. One of my culinary beliefs has been shattered.
It's not hard to make caramels.
Mind you, I have probably spent hundreds of dollars over my lifetime on delicious, expensive, artisan caramels. Not all the time, mind you, I'm not crazy. But as a once-in-a while indulgence? Absolutely. I love the texture of a perfect caramel, how it melts away, but slowly, so that you can linger in it's decadence. I'm drawn in by unusual flavors like bourbon-walnut and Earl Grey.
And now I can make my own.
It's like finding out that I have a super power. I can't explain how intensely exciting this is to me. I'm like a mad scientist who has harnessed the power of lightning. I'm the Nikola Tesla of my own kitchen, driven swiftly towards madness by my own potential.
Is that overboard?
Okay. Power trip over. I can create amazing caramels, but I still am barely holding on to a shred of control over the mint in my garden. Combine those two, and you get...
Mint Caramels.
