This month's weather has been unusually abnormal for late September, including the presence of spontaneous monsoons and midday heatwaves admist the overcast sky. However, we have had many days filled with blue sky and puffy white clouds, which offers a nice change of scenery when faced with grey, sticky weather.
I am typically a dark chocolate kind of person, and when I usually make these bars, dark chocolate is one of the main ingredients. However, today I was feeling a bit adventurous and wanted to step into the realm of white chocolate and marshmallow to echo the puffy white cloud-filled skies. Introducing: the gooey cloud bar of love. These little monsters were purely experimental but were a hit among everyone. To celebrate the ending of summer (yes, I am aware the first day of fall was last week, read my roasted veggie post below), I wanted to take a little bit of my favorite summer treat and introduce it into these bars. Making s'mores and roasting marshmallows are probably one of best ways to experience the beauty of summer nights; for a change of pace, this recipe toasts the mini mallows in the oven, but they still ooze together and have a faint taste of what was left of summer. Moving on...

Inspiration shows its beautiful face often when things are going downhill in my life. For some reason, all that negative energy collects within me and blossoms into this lovely spark of motivation. Last week, let's just call this one "the breakup." It's fairly self-explanatory, but for the purpose of brevity, we will leave it at that.
Once all was said and done, I booked it to my kitchen and immediately started pulling out all the ingredients that I had in hopes that they would come together and remotely form a type of edible, sugary morsel that I could drown my sorrows in. Dramatic? Yes. Effective? 100% of the time, every time. When these babies came out of the oven, I thought that I might just sift several cups of powdered sugar over them, because why not? Sometimes you just have to do what you have to do. Moving forward....these cookies are the best when eaten the day of, so make sure you have plenty of hungry mouths eat them all, unless you're looking to eat half the tray by yourself, which I hear cures almost anything....not naming any names. |
