Now that the weather is warmer, I love to get outside and enjoy one of the many parks near my house. It’s fun to catch up with friends. I make sure to bring something special. These desserts perfect for a picnic are always popular.<\/p>\n

“This is by far the best tart, moist, and delicious pound cake ever,” thinks Christina Haley<\/a> (Union City, TN<\/a>) of her Lemon Lime Iced Pound Cake<\/a>. “I have tweaked this recipe until it came out perfect!”<\/p>\n

Christina is right. The pound cake melts in your mouth and is filled with citrus flavor. I love the addition of lime zest and juice and a touch of lemon extract to the icing. It brings the citrus flavor over the top and is refreshing.<\/p>\n

“If you love peaches and cream, you will love these cookies,” shares Debbie Deverill<\/a> (Gilbert, AZ<\/a>). “They are always a big hit!”<\/p>\n

These Peaches & Cream Oatmeal Cookies<\/a> intrigued us in the Test Kitchen. The dried peaches and white chocolate chips caught our eye.<\/p>\n

One bite and we were hooked.<\/p>\n

This chewy cookie has the flavors of a traditional oatmeal cookie, but then you get pops of sweetness from the fruit. They’re light for summer. <\/p>\n

Another fruity treat is Kathryn Brown’s<\/a> (Woodbridge, NJ<\/a>) Chocolate & Raspberry Bars<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Very fudgy, they have a wonderful sweet chocolate flavor mixed with a layer of tart raspberry fruit spread. Melted dark chocolate is drizzled over them and topped with a fresh raspberry. Place them in a resealable container, and they’re easily transportable.<\/p>\n

“I love malt in anything and everything,” reveals Erin Ellefsen<\/a> (Eugene, OR<\/a>). “The hint of malt in the base, the chocolate of the chips, and the crunch of the Whoppers put these blondies over the top.”<\/p>\n

These Peabody’s Malted Blondies<\/a> are a nice change from traditional blondies. They are a cross between a brownie and a blondie, so you have the best of both worlds.<\/p>\n

With a crinkly sugar top and a gooey middle, these bars are so good. Adding Whoppers is a crunchy surprise.<\/p>\n

“These are sweet and salty and very addicting,” Kristin Miller<\/a> (Hampton, IA<\/a>) says of her Chubby Hubby Bars<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In each bite, you taste bits of sweet chocolate, peanut butter chips, and salty pretzels. It’s a delicious play on the flavors of the famous ice cream. If salty and sweet is your thing, you’ll adore this dessert.<\/p>\n
