It's almost Mother's Day, and if you're looking for the perfect desert to surprise your favorite mom with, I've got a great one for you. This crunchy chocolate malt cupcake recipe has it all going on. It's rich and creamy, but with that sweet, crunchy malted surprise. It's almost a candy bar -- only it's been baked with love.

It's also made with malted milk powder and crispy rice cereal -- that's where the crunch comes in. Top with a few chocolate malt balls and some sprinkles to make it extra fun.

When it comes to finding the perfect dessert to complement any meal, you really can't go wrong with a simple American classic. But sometimes making an entire cake or pie seems like a bit too much, especially if you aren't catering to a huge group.

And that's why this recipe for mini apple pies from Food.com will make you grin from ear to ear.

Not only are these tiny versions of everyone's favorite dessert adorable -- they're also sweet to look at, and a lot of fun for the whole family to eat too!

There are certain childhood classic treats we're bound to crave from time to time, and for me, Oreos will always be a guilty pleasure. But I'm not a huge fan of some of the processed ingredients, and whether or not you're getting fresh or stale ones is often way too hit or miss. Hence why homemade Oreos are a brilliant idea!

Even more brilliant is being able to do it on the cheap! Here's a delightful way to make an Oreo Cakester with sprinkles copycat recipe with less than $5 ...

Looking for a nutritious, delicious dinner that your whole family will love? Silly question -- of course you are. Aren't we all ... always? Well, have I got one for you. It's called Oh My Goodness Chicken, and it's amazing.

I originally saw it flying around on Pinterest and gave it a try one night. I was glad I did. It's moist, crunchy, and flavorful, and it couldn't be easier. My kids and husband loved it, and it's one that immediately was entered into our regular dinner rotation. While there are various adaptations of the recipe, the following is the combination I've found we like best.

Are you ready to fiesta? Tomorrow is one of the most delicious holidays of the year -- Cinco de Mayo. From breakfast (huevos rancheros) to dinner (tacos, enchiladas, and tamales, oh my), it's a day filled with fantastic food inspiration, be it traditional Mexican or more of the Tex-Mex variety.

When it comes to dessert, these adorable margarita cupcakes can't be beat as they go with anything. The recipe from Just a Pinch calls for tequila in the cupcakes and in the rich creamy frosting, so they've definitely got a kick. Leave it out of some if you're serving kids or others who don't drink. Ole!

Happy almost-Cinco de Mayo -- the holiday celebrated more in America than in Mexico. In the state of Puebla, the holiday is called El Día de la Batalla de Puebla and commemorates a battle the Mexican army won against French forces in 1862. (Mexican Independence Day is September 16.) The holiday is still celebrated in Puebla, a region famous for its complicated but amazing mole sauces.

Here in the U.S., Cinco de Mayo has become a celebration of Mexican heritage. So when it comes to traditional Cinco de Mayo party food, almost anything Mexican-ish goes. Even Tex-Mex and California-style burritos. But here's a few of my favorite picks.
