Summary
SWEETS & TREATS is a treasure trove of ideas for
the fun parent. Whether it’s for a special occasion or a festive after school
snack, kids will be dazzled by Homemade Twix Bars, Circus Animal Truffles,
Samoa Cupcakes, or Churro Chex Mix! Rock the school bake sales with spins on
the classics —from Reese’s Brownies to Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Pudding
Cookies. And the recipes are so easy that kids can even bake along!
For party time, after dinner, or even just some
well-deserved self-indulgence , SWEETS & TREATS is filled to the
brim with cakes, pies, and other swoon-worthy delights like Brownie Caramel
Cheesecake, Mini Pumpkin Pies, Berries and Cream Trifle, or perfect raspberry
sorbet. This book features classic recipes derived from the Six Sisters’ family
heritage (like their Fresh Peach Pie!) alongside innovative creations (Peanut
Butter Brownie Buckeye Cupcakes, anyone?), that will give you options for easy
entertaining.
Also included are these magnificent delights:
Hot Fudge Sundae Ice Cream Cake
Microwave Caramels
Frozen Grasshopper Cookie Pie
Rocky Road Fudge
Brownie Caramel Cheesecake
Every recipe is accompanied by a colorful photo and there
are lots of whimsical sidebars throughout the book that offer great family
activities, tricks for parties, crafts, and even ideas for cute, easy date
nights. The Sisters know first-hand what it’s like to juggle a hectic life, and
they’ve designed everything so that you can concentrate on
putting a smile on your family’s faces.
The proof is in the pudding (and also the cakes, brownies,
and cookies!): With the Six Sisters you can put dessert first!

My Review
SWEETS & TREATS WITH SIX SISTERS' STUFF is like looking at all those yummy Pinterest desserts, but collected all in one place. It was full of fabulous pictures, lots of yummy recipes, and a little fun added up to an enjoyable cookbook. Most categories of desserts are just about represented, including: bars, brownies, cookies, cakes, cupcakes, cheeseacake, ice cream, sweet bites (bite-sized treats), pies, and no-bake treats. Then there are these fun ideas and traditions inserted between each dessert category that added a lot to this book, such as "6 Ways to Package Treats," a kids' desserts section, and fondue to name a few.
There are still several recipes we hope to try, such as Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Blondies, Marshmallow Blondies, Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Brownies, S'mores Cookie Cups, Peanut Butter Butterfinger Cookies, Lemon Cupcakes with Blackberry Buttercream, Hot Fudge Sundae Ice Cream Cake, and I could go on and on... We also would like to make the Sopapilla Pumpkin Cheesecake Squares, but I wasn't sure about the recipe calling for pre-made crescent roll dough, so I'm curious how that will turn out.
We tried the Brownie Caramel Cheesecake and the Slab Apple Pie (fabulous idea to feed more people!) for Thanksgiving dessert and enjoyed them both. I loved that each recipe included a picture and that the recipes were easy to follow. And did I say they all looked yummy? Yep. They did.
Overall, this was a really fun dessert cookbook and one we plan on continuing to try out and use in the coming months. There are definitely some recipes that would be perfect for the upcoming holidays.
