I love olive oil cakes, but I did not love Stella Parks’ chocolate olive oil cake. That’s the only experience I have with that pairing.

Haven’t made that particular one either.

No but those were sent from northwestern Ontario. Recognize the ouvre ? The salty toffee nut one on shortbread is a hit too. Rocky road.

The PB marshmallow bars are especially popular in the Prairies. Often made with the multicoloured marshmallows and called confetti bars! I like them, too.

The Menlo Park CA store had a bunch the other day, grabbed one while I could!
@MunchkinRedux I checked the proportions against the ones I’ve made, and here are my 2c:
- Cocoa seems low if you want a deep chocolate flavor
- Oil is higher than average
- Baking soda is high for a cake with eggs (they’ve kept almost the same proportion as wacky / amazon cake whereas most recipes that add eggs dial back the bs by a lot bec there’s already lift from the eggs)

Thank you - very helpful!
Nice. These have some rice crispies in there too. Not a ton. They are my favorite out of the whole lot.

I haven’t made these for Xmas, but I’ve made them for birthdays. A CH/FB friend recommended the recipe. https://cookiesandcups.com/peanut-butter-cup-crack-brownies/

Checking in from my train to NYC. I’ve got a spiced cranberry bundt cake wrapped and padded to within an inch of its life, five kinds of cookies, and a bag of our famous local potato chips in the overhead compartment. Beautiful day for a trip

The only place I can find them is at our local town’s liquor store, and I found them there by pleasant accident.
Famous local potato chips? Haven’t had really good chips for a long time. Think the big brands must buy them out and close them down. What is the name of yours?

Utz are also made here. But Martins are the GOAT.
