Chocolate, peanuts, caramel, and cream—basically all my favorite things in one glass! I’ve always loved Snickers ice cream bars, so turning that into a martini just felt right. This Snickers Martini is rich, creamy, and so indulgent, and I can’t get enough of it. It’s super easy to mix up, and honestly, it’s my go-to when I want a dessert cocktail that feels like a total treat.

But this isn’t just an ode to ice cream—it’s a martini post! That’s right, I took my favorite frozen dessert and turned it into a cocktail. Because why not sip your favorite flavors, too?

Serving Suggestions
The caramel sauce and peanut rim is a must for this cocktail. Visually, it’s so appealing, and you get a great nutty hint when you take a sip. I also like to add a little caramel ice cream just before serving for an extra treat! If you don’t have caramel ice cream, try vanilla or pumpkin ice cream .

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
This is the perfect grocery list filled with all the basics and essentials. It should help get you going if you’re new to cooking, or if you’re just left staring helplessly at an empty pantry and don’t know how to fill it.
