It’s always nice to look back on the top posts I create each year. On average, I post 2 new recipes a week which is about 100 recipes. Some weeks there are more and some there are less. Just think about that and then think about all the butter, sugar, flour, eggs and powdered sugar I have gone through; I’m a regular at Target. 2016 was the year of No-Bake Treats! After last year’s marathon to the finish, I can say I enjoyed the holiday season FAR more this year and I am making up for all of last year’s lost sleep.

It was really great to see a lot of last year’s (2015) posts in my top performing recipes again this year. It’s nice to know we share a love for poke cakes. Below I’ve rounded up the top 10 recipes that I posted in 2016. There’s a LOT of cake, chocolate and Oreos. I’ve always known we had a lot in common.

I hope you enjoyed the holidays with family and friends and celebrated the love ones who couldn’t be with us and I wish you a happy and healthy 2017.

#8: Baileys Chocolate Cheesecake

This is a recipe I shared over at Better Homes and Gardens but it continues to be popular! The Bailey’s Chocolate Cheesecake is topped with a Bailey’s Whipped Cream!

#7: Lemon Raspberry Poke Cake

The perfect combination of sweet lemon cake and tart raspberry filling.

#6: Chocolate Oreo Icebox Cake

Chocolate overload with this chocolate Oreo filling, graham crackers and plenty of whipped cream.

#5: Oreo Dirt Poke Cake

A recent addition to my poke cake obsession, this doesn’t disappoint. The chocolate cake is soaked in hot fudge and topped with a Chocolate Oreo Dirt.
