This Cranberry Walnut Oatmeal Cookie is one of the reasons that I brought back the 5 Days of Sweets. I adore chewy oatmeal cookies (see this recipe from a few weeks back.) The addition of the cranberries and walnuts add great flavor and texture. The next time I bake a batch, I may throw in…
chocolate caramels with sea salt
We’re going to keep this short, and well, sweet. After all, it is hump day for my 5 Days of Sweets. I have a friend celebrating a birthday this week. I asked what she’d like me to make for her. Her response, “something chocolate.” Well, I can do that. How can you go wrong with…
pumpkin spice latte cupcakes
It seems like cupcake stores are popping up on every corner these days. And don’t get me wrong, that’s not the worst thing in the world to happen. I’d much rather pass twenty cupcakeries than twenty drug stores or cash-advance establishments. My issue is that the cupcakes are rarely stupendous. Yes, there are inventive flavors…
butterscotch blondie bars
Today begins 5 Days of Sweets here at made by mike. I had a lot of fun doing this last year, and hope you’ll enjoy what I have to feature this year. To kick off the series, may I introduce you to the Butterscotch Blondie Bar? They were featured in the December 2011 issue of…

For a second year in a row, I’m happy to share with you 5 Days of Sweets. The fun begins Monday. Until then, get your sweet tooth primed by visiting last year’s 5 Days of Sweets.
peanut butter and cinnamon cookies
Truth be told, and why shouldn’t it be, I’m not such a fan of peanut butter. Maybe it’s a texture thing, I don’t know. It’s crazy, because I love peanuts. I could polish off one of those huge jars of Planter’s Roasted Peanuts during a single episode of Raising Hope. And that’s giving me plenty…
pumpkin and chocolate chip squares
I’ve been going through cans of pure pumpkin puree like it’s water. I’ve made these cupcakes more times than I care to count. They are amazing, you should make them. Your friends and family will be very happy campers. Even if they don’t particularly care for camping. I can relate. Today, I cracked open another…
oh my! oatmeal cream pies!
Confession time. I’ve had crushes on girls. I’ll let that sink in a moment. In fact, my first crush was a delightful gal. Her name was Debbie and she always wore a jaunty hat. She was also pretty small in stature, and many referred to her as Little Debbie. Sorry about that, couldn’t resist. Nor…
peach, blueberry and almond crisp
That’s right folks, finally a new recipe. Life’s been hectic, but Fall is here and things will hopefully slow down. Well, I can dream, can’t I? As the temperatures begin to dip, I fall into a comfort food coma. To kick the season off, I present to you a made by mike original: Peach, Blueberry…
