While I usually go to Muddy's Bake Shop for already-made desserts, the last time I was there, I picked up something that's the perfect addition to treats made at home.

This little brown bottle of ridiculously good-smelling vanilla extract is handmade in Memphis by Courtney Shove (aka Miss Mildred). I've used it in cookies and a buttercream icing, and so far, the only thing wicked about it is how rich and delicious it is.

You can pick up your own bottle at Muddy's Bake Shop. They're $6.50 each.
