Who ever said a dessert need have flour or grain in it to rock your socks off!? I know for a fact that whether you are on a grain free diet, you will LOVE these desserts. Seriously. In fact, some of them were developed and then just so happened to be gluten free. Bonus. It’s [Read more >>]
Okay, so winter can leave anytime now…it’s -15 degrees outside and it’s too darn cold to do anything! Including ski. I’ll leave it up to these marshmallow characters and the Olympic skiers. The Olympics kind of snuck up on me this year. I was getting caught up in Valentine’s Day, Easter, Superbowl, oh yeah…and the [Read more >>]
I’m fairly certain these would look adorable sitting on a dessert platter for your New Year’s Eve party. Although my New Year’s Eve plans have gotten dramatically less exciting every year after age 25, we still like to get together with a few friends and celebrate low-key. This year I’m bringing these NYE chocolate party [Read more >>]
I caved. I’ve joined the community of Crock Pot/slow cooker candy makers. I believe Trisha Yearwood was the one to originally publish the “Crock Pot Candy” recipe idea using a slow cooker as the method to melt the chocolates. I adapted the original recipe ever so slightly and also made mine in a smaller crock [Read more >>]
Take a deep breath, bacon fanatics. This just happened. Diced bacon atop chocolate peanut butter truffles. And it happened very well. Trust me on this one. There were a couple special ingredients that I believe made these truffles extra awesome. 1-Bacon. Duh. The whole salty+sweet combo – you with me? 2-Chocolate Peanut Butter. Heaven by [Read more >>]
Can I live here in this cute little gingerbread house? It looks peaceful. And pink. Everything in it’s tiny world is just so cute. And I’m pretty sure I could live off of the snow. Forget using frosting for your gingerbread houses…overrated. Candy coating works much better (and faster). I would also like to take [Read more >>]
Do you ever eat like eight bagillion of something and then you realize there’s only TWO left, which turns into, “What the heck…I’ve already ate this many, what’s two more!?”?! THESE. These do that to ya. Caramel Apple Pie Grape Poppers. My life is complete. I’m usually fairly confident that I can resist the treats [Read more >>]
Are you ever scrambling to pull a dessert or snack together last minute to bring to a party, friend’s house, or just something that you can make A LOT of and FAST?! I do it all the time at trade shows and so I thought I would share the treats that I tend to always make [Read more >>]
These candies are quite simple. I followed THIS Rolo Stuffed Ritz Cracker idea from Ashton at Something Swanky and then took it to the next level by dipping them in chocolate. Let’s call them Ritzwiches. I really needed these this weekend after running in the Spooky Tails 5k; a local Twin Cities 5k hosted by Wags [Read more >>]
Halloween treats are steadily filling my pinterest feed, my bloglovin’ emails and my trips down every aisle in the grocery store. So I figure it’s time! I love these little strawberry ghosts! I originally made these two years ago but never posted them on here. You may have came across them on the Candiquik Recipes [Read more >>]
