I think my husband said it best - These macaroons taste like they've been "dipped in magic butter." LOL No really...these are like eating a coconut cloud filled with sweet and salty, caramelly goodness. Remember that Homemade Salted Caramel Sauce that I made? Well, it's the star in this recipe and really makes these cookies special. The original recipe calls for caramel ice cream topping (which you can totally use instead), but I couldn't help but use my homemade version. The ingredient list for these is short, and they come together in a snap. If you have someone that loves caramel and/or coconut, surprise them with these on Valentine's Day! You could even dip the bottoms of each cookie into melted chocolate, or drizzle the tops with it instead. Now, please excuse me while I go scarf one down!

If you love both Carrot Cake and Cheesecake and don't want to decide between the two, these delicious bars were made for you! They marry the two desserts beautifully together into a bar that is perfectly sweet, but not overly so. They were great served at room temperature, but even better the next day once they had a chance to chill. Just be prepared...they tend to disappear FAST! I loved this recipe because it includes both cinnamon and nutmeg, giving the carrot cake batter that warm, wonderful flavor that only a nice dose of spices can. The cheesecake batter comes together quickly and its fun to swirl the two batters together into luscious swirls on the top. Enjoy!
