So…a lot of football games have been on lately. Really “important” games.
Of course neither the Broncos or the (ahem) Vikings are playing anymore.
So then, naturally, I was rooting for San Francisco. Why?! Because I like California.
And this is how I pick who to cheer for. Silly, I know. But now were down to Giants and Patriots…what to do, what to do? Think I’ll just cheer for the opposite team the bf is cheering for.
Then while the game is going on I’ll usually find something yummy to make, because football games are long. Really long.
Should’ve made something that took longer….
But it all worked out, because then I went on Pinterest.
Puppy Chow, Reindeer Food, Chocolate Peanut Butter Chex Mix, Chex Buddies, or whatever you usually call it.
I have a twist on this mix today. It might sound weird. You may be skeptical. But really, it’s just as addicting as the original.
And there’s a secret ingredient involved that you would probably guess at first bite.

I decided to name these ‘Love Bites’ for one reason and one reason only. The double meaning my friends. And one of them is sorta funny. Sorta? Especially for you anti-valentine people.
I happen to love Valentine’s Day. If you haven’t figured that out, check out all of these other recipes!

I made these last year for Valentine’s Day and decided they needed a post of their own. They are so dang cute and although I made them for Valentine’s – they are universal and customizable.
Here I had thought that I had came up with an awesome, original idea (if there is such a thing)!
Silly me.

So, allow me to compile all of the cuteness, deliciousness and meaningful recipes from 2011!

I really hope you have all of your holiday shopping done.
Because I just went to Target. It felt like my Black Friday (that I somehow was convinced to participate in) nightmare all over again. Never again. Maybe it’s that I get overwhelmed with swarms of people, feel claustrophobic when waiting in line and can’t stand when people are in my bubble.
And what’s with people being so rude? It’s the holiday season for pete’s sake!
I would like to tell them:
♥Keep Calm & Eat a Cake Pop♥

I love this recipe for several reasons.
1. I have about 9 billion things to do before the holidays and this was the easiest yet.
2. No baking required (I’ve done enough of that!)
3. Easy on the wallet
4. Scrumptious

I am begging you to make these.
You’re simply missing out if you don’t.
These were heavenly. Decadent. Outstanding.
I stumbled across them on Recipe Girl’s blog…
This is what happened after I read her post:
I bee-lined it to Target for cream cheese and eggs.
Don’t you hate when you have almost all the ingredients to a recipe!? That’s how I end up at the store, daily.
They are basically a blondie bar topped with an amazing white chocolate cream cheese (with a hint of orange zest) frosting.

This tree has to be one of the most elegant and awe-some treats I have made!
I won’t lead you on, it was a bit time consuming. I would highly suggest breaking it up into a 2-3 day project. Make your cake pop mixture on day 1. Coat and decorate your cake pops the following day and construct the tree on the 3rd day.
This tree was approximately 18″ tall. You could certainly downsize and make a mini tree.

I could begin by telling you a story about our new friends living in the basement, but I’ll spare you.
These mice are not a brand new creation, but they are a classic. If you haven’t ever seen these – here they are! If you haven’t ever made these – do so. I promise, people will rave and think you are oh-so creative.
Who doesn’t see these and instantly think “aww, how cute”!?

You know what I was thinking about the other day?!
Kids always want all their treats to themselves. When I was younger, I would have ate all of my treats, candy, etc. to myself – of course my parents suggested sharing. As adults, the story slightly changes. I still want it all to myself, but instead I gladly hand it off to others. To keep myself from eating it all. Not to mention, it truly does feel good to give.
Pictured above? Not quite lollipops. In fact, there are simply Vanilla dipped PEPPERMINT OREO® Cookies. Have you tried peppermint Oreos? You should! Get ‘em while you can, they are a seasonal item!
There isn’t really a recipe here – since they are pretty simple.
Here is what you will need:

I didn’t mean to tease you all.
Who would’ve thought these little guys would be so popular!!?
Ok, ok, so as soon as I made them and looked at their googly little eyes, big beak and candy corn tail – I knew.
They just have so much personality!
Each one of them. Whether they have a cute face or stink face.
So I couldn’t help but share the photo with you on Facebook before I actually had the directions written up.
But here ya go -

Strawberry Shot Glasses – Yes, Please!
I found these at this super cute blog, Sweet Tooth. Warning: be prepared to want to bake your heart out for the next week year after visiting her site. I seriously printed out 5 recipes and added them to my Recipes I Must Bake Real Soon queue.
That queue is huge by the way.
I would need to take about a month off of work and straight bake. I’m down for it, anyone else in? You can come over and be my little taste testers?
That would be sweet. I’ll be taking votes.
In the mean time:
