The peanut butter blossoms were my favorite to make then and they still are today! I was always in charge of unwrapping the Hershey kisses, rolling the dough balls in sugar and then smushing the chocolate kisses on just right.

Fall in Upstate New York is a serious thing of beauty. On the weekends it means apple picking and trips to our local cider mill where their apple cider donuts are famed for all the right reasons. During the week it means crisp cool mornings and extra large cups of coffee while I’m checking my morning email. Also, it means adding pumpkin to anything reasonable like donuts, cocktails and cheesecake parfaits. Or in today’s case, oatmeal energy bites! These are one of my favorite quick and easy little breakfasts these days. A couple of these, a piece of fruit and coffee makes the perfect start to the day. They’re also a great dessert, a great mid-day snack and loaded with protein and good-for-you ingredients. I make them year round without the pumpkin, but this pumpkin spice version is perfect for fall. Give them a try, I think you’ll love these!</p> </div> <a href="https://thesweetestoccasion.com/2017/09/pumpkin-spice-oatmeal-energy-bites/" class="button article-read-more" data-wpel-link="internal"> Read More<span class="screen-reader-text"> about Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal Energy Bites</span> </a> </div> </div> </article> <div class="mv-trellis-feed-unit" style="min-height:334px;width:100%;"><div class="mv_slot_target" data-slot="Feed"></div></div> <article class="article excerpt"> <div class="excerpt-container"> <div class="excerpt-photo"> <a href="https://thesweetestoccasion.com/2017/07/peanut-butter-jelly-ice-cream-sandwiches/" class="excerpt-link" title="Peanut Butter + Jelly Ice Cream Sandwiches" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1" data-wpel-link="internal"><figure class="post-thumbnail"><style>img#mv-trellis-img-9::before{padding-top:133.33333333333%; }img#mv-trellis-img-9{display:block;}</style><noscript><img src="https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/peanut-butter-and-jelly-ice-cream-sandwiches-13-240x320.jpg" srcset="https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/peanut-butter-and-jelly-ice-cream-sandwiches-13-240x320.jpg 240w, https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/peanut-butter-and-jelly-ice-cream-sandwiches-13-400x533.jpg 400w, https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/peanut-butter-and-jelly-ice-cream-sandwiches-13-546x728.jpg 546w, https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/peanut-butter-and-jelly-ice-cream-sandwiches-13-360x480.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 599px) 300px, 270px" style="display: block" class="size-mv_trellis_3x4_low_res size-ratio-mv_trellis_3x4_low_res wp-image-137468" alt="Peanut Butter + Jelly Ice Cream Sandwiches | Summer desserts, homemade ice cream sandwiches, entertaining tips, party ideas and more from @cydconverse" height="320" width="240"></noscript><img src="https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/peanut-butter-and-jelly-ice-cream-sandwiches-13-240x320.jpg.webp" srcset="https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/peanut-butter-and-jelly-ice-cream-sandwiches-13-240x320.jpg.webp 240w, https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/peanut-butter-and-jelly-ice-cream-sandwiches-13-400x533.jpg.webp 400w, https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/peanut-butter-and-jelly-ice-cream-sandwiches-13-546x728.jpg.webp 546w, https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/peanut-butter-and-jelly-ice-cream-sandwiches-13-360x480.jpg.webp 360w" sizes="(max-width: 599px) 300px, 270px" style="display: block" class="size-mv_trellis_3x4_low_res size-ratio-mv_trellis_3x4_low_res wp-image-137468 lazyload" alt="Peanut Butter + Jelly Ice Cream Sandwiches | Summer desserts, homemade ice cream sandwiches, entertaining tips, party ideas and more from @cydconverse" height="320" width="240" data-pin-media="https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/peanut-butter-and-jelly-ice-cream-sandwiches-13.jpg" id="mv-trellis-img-9" loading="lazy" data-trellis-processed="1"></figure></a> </div> <div class="excerpt-post-data"> <h2 class="excerpt-title"><a href="https://thesweetestoccasion.com/2017/07/peanut-butter-jelly-ice-cream-sandwiches/" class="excerpt-link" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1" data-wpel-link="internal">Peanut Butter + Jelly Ice Cream Sandwiches</a></h2> <div class="excerpt-excerpt"> <p>Over the weekend I made a whirlwind 62 hour trip to Round Top, Texas and back. I’ve been working on a couple of really huge projects behind the scenes, I haven’t washed my hair in at least three days (dry shampoo, I love you), and my feet are still slightly swollen from traveling and lack of sleep over the last week. All of this to say, these peanut butter and jelly ice cream sandwiches are delicious and exactly what you need when you’re exhausted and missing a few of the usually prominent bones on the tops of your feet. An instant pick-me-up! To keep things simple, you can use a cookie mix here. To keep things delicious, I highly suggest making the strawberry jam homemade. Then just smash cookies and ice cream together and eat them right away, or wrap them and stash them in the freezer where they’ll keep for a few days.</p> </div> <a href="https://thesweetestoccasion.com/2017/07/peanut-butter-jelly-ice-cream-sandwiches/" class="button article-read-more" data-wpel-link="internal"> Read More<span class="screen-reader-text"> about Peanut Butter + Jelly Ice Cream Sandwiches</span> </a> </div> </div> </article> <article class="article excerpt"> <div class="excerpt-container"> <div class="excerpt-photo"> <a href="https://thesweetestoccasion.com/2017/06/patriotic-fruit-pizza/" class="excerpt-link" title="Americana Sugar Cookie Fruit Pizza" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1" data-wpel-link="internal"><figure class="post-thumbnail"><style>img#mv-trellis-img-10::before{padding-top:133.33333333333%; }img#mv-trellis-img-10{display:block;}</style><noscript><img src="https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/fourth-of-july-dessert-fruit-pizza-12-240x320.jpg" srcset="https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/fourth-of-july-dessert-fruit-pizza-12-240x320.jpg 240w, https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/fourth-of-july-dessert-fruit-pizza-12-400x533.jpg 400w, https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/fourth-of-july-dessert-fruit-pizza-12-546x728.jpg 546w, https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/fourth-of-july-dessert-fruit-pizza-12-360x480.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 599px) 300px, 270px" style="display: block" class="size-mv_trellis_3x4_low_res size-ratio-mv_trellis_3x4_low_res wp-image-47032" alt="4th of July Desserts: Red, White and Blue Berry Fruit Pizza | 4th of July recipes, entertaining tips, party ideas, 4th of July ideas and more from @cydconverse" height="320" width="240"></noscript><img src="https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/fourth-of-july-dessert-fruit-pizza-12-240x320.jpg.webp" srcset="https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/fourth-of-july-dessert-fruit-pizza-12-240x320.jpg.webp 240w, https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/fourth-of-july-dessert-fruit-pizza-12-400x533.jpg.webp 400w, https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/fourth-of-july-dessert-fruit-pizza-12-546x728.jpg.webp 546w, https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/fourth-of-july-dessert-fruit-pizza-12-360x480.jpg.webp 360w" sizes="(max-width: 599px) 300px, 270px" style="display: block" class="size-mv_trellis_3x4_low_res size-ratio-mv_trellis_3x4_low_res wp-image-47032 lazyload" alt="4th of July Desserts: Red, White and Blue Berry Fruit Pizza | 4th of July recipes, entertaining tips, party ideas, 4th of July ideas and more from @cydconverse" height="320" width="240" data-pin-media="https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/fourth-of-july-dessert-fruit-pizza-12.jpg" id="mv-trellis-img-10" loading="lazy" data-trellis-processed="1"></figure></a> </div> <div class="excerpt-post-data"> <h2 class="excerpt-title"><a href="https://thesweetestoccasion.com/2017/06/patriotic-fruit-pizza/" class="excerpt-link" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1" data-wpel-link="internal">Americana Sugar Cookie Fruit Pizza</a></h2> <div class="excerpt-excerpt"> <p>This easy sugar cookie fruit pizza makes a simple and delicious 4th of July dessert or the perfect addition to any summer party menu!
