Zesty White Puppy Chow & Chocolate Covered Strawberry Footballs

Pin It

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 we’re 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 Lemon 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.

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 applications.

In the mean time:

Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries

 

Amazing, delicious, OMG, wow - why didn’t I think of these!?

Recently we had a little contest, that some of you may have heard of…if not, you seriously need to join Club CandiQuik

The contest was named the “Make Our Ad” Contest. The Grand Prize Winner is receiving free CANDIQUIK for a year – yes, FREE (I need that deal)!

Oh – and did I mention her recipe is going to be featured in our next National Magazine ad?! Total bragging rights.

Here were the 3 finalists if you’re curious…

This recipe that I am about to share, however, did not “Make our Ad”. BUT it was dang good!

So I must share…
