Ugly Dessert for Today-3 Musketeers Hot Cocoa Brownie Bites!
I had a bunch of 3 Musketeer bars, and it’s about time to use them. Rather than just eat them, I decided to cut ‘em up and bake little brownie cups out of them. I highly recommend these!

Ugly Dessert for Today-Murder Cookies!
Yes, Murder Cookies. Not the most appetizing name, but they do have an interesting story. They are essentially a Scotch or molasses cookie.
The name Murder Cookies came about when the recipe was discovered when someone was researching a murder that took place in their home. Someone nicknamed them “Murder Cookies”, and the internet did the rest.

And you know anything called a butter cake is gonna be good.
Ugly Dessert for Today-Toffee Bundt Cake!
I love bundt cakes and I love toffee. So why not combine them?

Ugly Dessert for Today-Lite No Bake Lemon Cheesecake!
It’s getting warm (well, warm for San Francisco, which is still cool for the rest of the country). So I decided to go for a no bake option & give my oven a bit of a rest!

Ugly Dessert for Today-Chocolate Strawberry Cupcakes!
I went to a birthday thing this weekend, and I brought cupcakes. Since the farmer’s market down the block has some really good strawberries right now, I decided to start there, and eventually landed on these. They’re a little more work than most of my desserts, but not too bad and they are sooo worth it.

Ugly Dessert for Today-Layered Lemon Lime Bars!
Working through the last of my lemons and it was suggested I try and combine lemon bars with a key lime kind of flavor, which I thought might be interesting. Spoiler – it is! It’s a fun and slightly unusual combo that really works.

Ugly Dessert for Today-Lemon Bundt Cake!
Working my way through a bunch of lemons I was gifted by a neighbor-here’s my latest, a lemon bundt cake. It’s light and delicious. I added a frosting to the top cuz in this house we love frosting
Ugly Dessert for Today-Lemon Sandwich Cookies!
With this one, I used lemons for the cookies and lemons for filling as well – a double shot of lemon. And they’re really, really good!

Ugly Dessert for Today-Peanut Butter Squares!
I prefer chewy cookies and bars to crunchy ones (though crunchy can be good, too!). Peanut butter makes these just chewy deliciousness. Plus, they’re ridiculously easy to make
Ugly Dessert for Today-Lemon Madeleines!
Our neighbor has 2 giant lemon trees in his yard. There are waaay too many lemons for just him. I mentioned I liked to bake…and I got gifted a bunch, so I’ll be making many lemon desserts!

Ugly Dessert for Today-Red Velvet Bundt Cake!
Other than trying to get them out of the pan-something I’m terrible at-I like making bundt cakes. They’re cool and delicious.
Didn’t turn out as red as I’d have liked. Next time, more food coloring!

Ugly Dessert for Today-Rainbow Butter Cookies!
June is Pride month and here in San Francisco, that’s a very big deal. These simple (but kinda messy) cookies are a perfect, colorful celebration!

Ugly Dessert for Today-Cookies and Cream Mug Cake!
I’ve been making some pretty big desserts lately, so I decided to make myself a cookies & cream mug cake. Takes almost no time, minimal cleanup and no leftovers! And…delicious.

Ugly Dessert for Today-Turtle Cookies!
Generally, turtles are candies w/pecans, chocolate and caramel goodness.
Ok, but I prefer baked goods to candy and there’s NO reason those ingredients can’t make an awesome cookie, too. And they do!

Well, it’s starting to get warm again (finally!). But I still want cake.
The oven can get the kitchen too hot, but there’s a solution icebox cakes! There are tons of variations, but here’s mine, using strawberries & bananas.

Ugly Dessert for Today-Cinnamon Chip Blondies!
I found more interesting stuff in the back of my cabinet-cinnamon chips! I thought they’d be great in a blondie variation so I tried some stuff out and came up with these-they’re pretty delicious!

Ugly Dessert for Today-Chocolate Caramel Chip Cookies!
I just found a bag of caramel chips in the back of the cabinet and I needed to use them. Caramel goes great with chocolate, so …
Also, I know I’m not supposed to eat raw cookie dough but it’s soooo good.

Ugly Dessert for Today-Three Layer Lemon Coconut Bars!
Our neighbor invited us over for wine and cheese, so I asked what she liked and she said coconut and lemon.
I made these! They turned out fantastically!

Ugly Dessert for Today-Cinnamon Sugar Blondies!
I love cinnamon sugar (it reminds me of a kid when I’d make cinnamon toast!), and I love blondies. They should make a good pairing, right? Oh, most definitely right.
Ugly Dessert for Today-Two Layer Peanut Butter Bars!
I thought about calling these Super Simple Peanut Butter Bars because, well, they are. But this name is a little more descriptive. Whatever you decide to call them, I know you’ll call them “delicious”.

Ugly Dessert for Today-Lemon Drizzle Loaf Cake!
Got more lemons from our friend’s very abundant lemon tree so…more lemon desserts! This is a version of a cake my mom used to make growing up. It’s simple and it’s delicious!
I haven’t done an #uglyadvice post in a minute, so here we go-baking with bananas!
When cooking with bananas, unless the recipe specifically calls for fresh ones, use overripe ones. As they ripen, starches are converted into sugars making the bananas sweeter. And hint-if you find a banana you have has gotten too ripe to eat, let it get even riper then put it in the freezer-they freeze incredibly well and you can take it out whenever you need.
Ugly Dessert for Today-Brown Butter Toffee Cookies!
I LOVE toffee cookies, and the brown butter in these adds even more richness to the cookies. These are super simple and super delicious.

Ugly Dessert for Today-Maple Pecan Bars!
Maple is really one of my favorite flavors, and it’s so easy to bake with! Combined with pecans, these bars are kind of like eating little hand-held pecan pies!

Ugly Dessert for Today-Homemade McDonald’s Apple Pies!
When I was a kid, I loved McDonald’s apple pies. Remember them? They were in cardboard sleeves & VERY hot & very good!
Now you can make them at home!
Ugly Dessert for Today-Vegan Linzer Tarts!
For my Christmas party I had a guest coming who is gluten-free and vegan. So I did some experimenting and these turned out pretty darn well!

Happy Pride month! Here are my rainbow Pride cupcakes. I mean, that’s what I’m calling them anyway. They came out a bit messy, but that’s on brand. Most importantly, they were delicious!
