Delicious ideas for quick snacks, lunchbox treats , or a surprise for the office staff. The recipes are made with easy to find ingredients. The instructions are simple to follow. A cookbook that offers delicious ideas is one that I like in my bookcase.

This is a wonderful cookbook filled with accessible but interesting dessert recipes. Delightful recipes and wonderful pictures. The bar recipes alone are amazing and everything looks so good.

This cookbook is great! So many different kinds of treats to choose from that I had a hard time deciding where to start (a good problem). I've made a handful of the recipes so far and they've all turned out fantastic.

Another fantastic cookbook from Sarah Kieffer! Her recipes are easy to follow and the results are delicious. The different types of recipes are well organized into different categories and the accompanying photos are beautiful.

This was a delicious cookbook for us. Seems like every sweet we could imagine and more were in this book. With mouth-watering photographs that make you want to taste everything and creative recipes you will want to try every single recipe. The book also has helpful information like how-to to make dough and add flavors. There were so many treats for different occasions, just snacking around and kids home from school. I love the detailed recipes with a description, detailed ingredients and step-by-step understandable directions that even a beginner like me could follow with ease. I found things I also wanted to make but didn’t know how to make like meringue,ganache and brown butter. I of course found some new favorite recipes like Pecan Espresso Bars and Chocolate Irish Cream Mousse Pie. This was an ebook ARC but I can’t wait for October to add this book to my collection and to gift one to my mom. Your family will love this cookbook. Enjoy together and savor the treats.

I have two of Sarah Kieffer's cookbooks already so I knew this one would be great. I was not wrong. the recipes are fun and approachable, and the baked goods all look and sound fantastic. Many of the recipes need ingredients that I already had in my kitchen so I was able to bake a couple of recipes from the ARC and they didn't disappoint. I'm not a huge fan of the intro to each recipe, they all sound the same because most just state that Sarah used to bake these items when she worked at a coffeeshop etc, etc. I remember this from her other cookbooks too--maybe just a sentence or two is needed in her next books...I will always pick up one of Sarah Kieffer's cookbooks though. Thoroughly enjoyed!

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book and give an honest review.

I am a big fan of Sarah Kieffer and her cookbooks. I have read and or own most of them. The recipes are always reliable and tasty. They are not overly complicated with too many ingredients. The photos included with each recipe make me want to take out the butter, sugar, chocolate, eggs and get to work baking!

Sarah is a Minnesota gal and I can always rely on her recipes for a midwestern appeal. This book is definitely a good one. If you enjoy baking, this book belongs on your shelf in your cookbook collection. It will probably be one you grab most often when you are hungry for a sweet treat!

I've baked many recipes from Sarah Kieffer's "100 Cookies" cookbook so I was so excited to see her newest cookbook release! Like her other books, this one is filled with mouth watering photographs and recipes. I'm especially excited about the "One Bowl Bakes" and the "No Bake" section- good recipes, using simple baking techniques can be hard to find and these sections combined have 27 recipes!! I also appreciate that every recipe has a picture and they truly all look so delicious! Sometimes I buy a cookbook and only a recipe or two look good; in "100 Afternoon Sweets" they ALL look amazing and I can't wait to start baking.

I was so excited to see Sarah was making another book! As always, the recipes look delicious and the photography is beautiful!

WARNING: before you read this book, make sure you've filled up on your favorite food and treats. Otherwise, you'll get lost and you won't be able to concentrate. Every picture is sweet perfection, and I want to try almost everything.
I appreciate that the book starts with notes and tips, so that people like me with no cooking skills will be able to do the basics. Then there are sections, such as bars and treats you don't have to bake. In the end, there are also recipes for such staples as caramel, whipped cream, lemon curd and candied nuts.
This book would make a great book for your own home and to share with friends (in hope they make the treats and share with you). Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

Okay I stumbled upon Sarah Kieffer’s book 100 Morning Treats at my library last year and it forever changed my breakfast game in the Mills house. So when I saw Sarah’s newest book 100 Afternoon Sweets on NetGalley I had to download it ASAP and dear sweet baby Jesus this book is divinely delicious. It’s perfect for summertime right now with my kids being home for break and constantly snacking with me tagging along. Her section on pies will change your dessert game y’all! Her directions are written clearly and are easy to follow. The pictures are beautiful and the layout is nice. My kids love the chocolate chip bars and I cannot wait to discover more yummy treats this summer with them!

Thank you Netgalley and Chronicle Books for the ARC.

This book is full of delicious looking desserts. I do think the title is a bit misleading. I was expecting some quick afternoon bakes. While some of these do fail into that category, many of the recipes are company/dinner party worthy. I took away one star for that. Otherwise it looks like a great book for bakers!

I am a fan of Sarah Kiefer! Her recipes are phenomenal! “100 Afternoon Sweets” is no exceptions! Tried several recipes from the book so far and they were great! Easy to follow recipes and very concise instructions! There are beautiful photographs of the dessert you are making!

100 Afternoon Sweets is full of recipes that are surprisingly simple treats that will definitely impress your family and friends! I appreciate the photos of the finished treats, that makes it easier to see what my own finished dish should look like. I also thought that the quotes at the beginning of each section were a nice touch. I'm looking forward to buying a print copy of this one for myself, I'm sure I'd use at least a few of the recipes, like the banana bread Blondies, quite often!

thank you netgalley for this e-arc. i love sarah! she does it again with this new baking book. it was hard to decide on a favorite but i'm happy she did a lot of fruit based recipes, a fair amount of lemon and chocolate recipes. i appreciate how she uses grams/ounces over cups/spoons for measurements, far more accurate. i don't think sarah ever misses, i make majority of her cookie recipes for my christmas cookie box gifts for friends and family,

You know that 3:00 sinking feeling you get? But it is too early for dinner or something big. So a little sweet pick me up is perfect. Just because it says Afternoon Sweets doesn't mean you can't have these anytime. These are little cakes, brownies and bars that are just the right size for a quick bite. Some are simple and can be made in one bowl. These would be perfect to take into the office and share with co workers. Most are made in a classic 9x13 baking pan. So plenty to share. Even a few no bake items with ice cream. This is a great cookbook to have on the shelf to pull out when you need a little something sweet. I'm sure you will find something to bake tonight.

Another excellent collection of wonderful recipes from Sarah Kieffer and this cookbook showcases how dependable and fail-proof her recipes are just like all the others from previous books!

Discovering Sarah Kieffer was probably one of the best things that happened to me and I love baking. I love Sarah's recipes, I own all of her cookbooks and love them all, her recipes do not disappoint and always bring joy to bakers and anyone who's blessed to taste the baked goods. Just like all the other cookbooks of hers, this is well-written, well-organized, has beautiful photographs, comes with metric measurement to ensure successful end results, and a chock full of fantastic and approachable recipes! I have made Sugar Cookie Bars and it was great, although I noticed adding in vanilla extract part is missing in the instruction.

I'm a huge fan of Sarah and always will be. I have already pre-ordered the book and am planning to gift this to my cousins and close friends. I can't wait to have the actual copy in my hand to bake with! I love, love, love Sarah Kieffer!!!

This is a stunning book with beautiful photography. The recipes are absolutely delicious. This is the perfect book for someone with a sweet tooth. It definitely has something for everyone. The instructions are easy to follow with easily available ingredients. However, the results look very impressive. My only issue would be that I feel like the title does a bit of a disservice to this book. Before I read it, I thought the recipes would be simple sweet afternoon snacks. However, while the recipes would make good afternoon snacks, they would be great for birthdays, get-togethers, and entertaining guests as well. This book would make the perfect gift for a friend, family member, or as a house warming present.

This is a lovely and beautiful cookbook! One of my favorite things was all of the pictures -- I really need and want that in a cookbook; I love to see what the final product looks like and to get excited about making it. I also loved the variety. This is NOT your typical brownie and cookie cookbook but rather there is a huge variety of the flavors and styles represented and I absolutely think there's something for everyone. This would be a great addition to a public library. It would also make a great gift for a baker in your life particularly with some baking tools, a dishtowel, or some ingredients to go with it--it would be absolutely adorable in a mixing bowl with some measuring cups or a spoon and dishtowel and some ribbon. Definitely recommend for the baker in your life or your culinary or adult collection!

This collection of afternoon sweets was a real gathering of deliciousness, and I found several recipes I would love to try in the future. I was worried it would just be a bunch of simple, uninspired snacks, but there were some really good ideas in this.
