Copycat Eatmore Bars

There’s something nostalgic and comforting about the foods we loved as kids.

For me, the Eatmore bar is right at the top of that list of childhood favourites. Growing up, it was my go-to treat whenever we’d head out fishing for the day. Packed with peanuts and chewy goodness, it gave just the right boost of energy but also felt like a special treat.

What I’ve always loved about the Eatmore bar is that it somehow feels a little healthier than your average chocolate bar—less sugar rush, more satisfying chew. It’s loaded with protein-rich peanuts and has that deep, molassesy flavor that really sticks with you (in the best way). This homemade version brings all that nostalgic taste back, with simple ingredients you can feel good about.

Let’s make this chewy classic together—because some treats are too good to be forgotten.

Almond Bark

It doesn’t get much easier than this.

If you're looking for a quick, foolproof treat that looks fancy but takes hardly any effort, almond bark is the answer. This recipe is as easy as it gets—melt, spread, sprinkle and you're done. I usually make mine with white and semi sweet chocolate because I love how it pairs with the toasted almonds, but honestly, use whatever chocolate you like best. White, dark, milk, semi-sweet—they all work beautifully. Whether you're whipping up a last-minute holiday gift or just craving something sweet and crunchy, this almond bark hits the spot every time.

We’re talking creamy, dreamy bites of Oreo goodness that come together with just a few ingredients and barely any effort. No oven, no fuss—just mix, roll, chill, and try not to eat them all at once (good luck with that). Plus they look fancy so set these out at your next party for a crowd pleaser. No need to mention they were super easy to make, just remember to raise those pinkies when you eat them.

Meltaway Butter Mints

These little butter mints melt right in your mouth, I dare you to eat just one! I have adjusted this recipe so you don’t have to haul out the mixer, just melt the butter instead and mix together the ingredients in one bowl. A fun dough that resembles play dough starts to form and from there, you choose the colours and shapes for these mints. These are great to have on hand when you are hosting, or they make a beautiful gift when presented in a jar or box. Either way, these will be appreciated as a sweet little minty treat.
