Hidden Surprise Chocolate Easter Eggs

 Funny story about how THESE eggs came about. What’s also funny is how your brain thinks as a blogger/recipe developer… A commercial for Rice Krispies came on for these cute little rice krispy treats with little candies hidden inside. Right away I thought – chocolate easter eggs! Hollow ones to stuff candy, money, or whatever you want [Read more >>]

Homemade Ooey Gooey Snickers Bars

I amaze myself, I really do. And not in a overly confident kind of amaze. I am seriously surprised that I pull off some of the treats I make. Like these adorable bunnies and lil’ chicks for example. Anyone that really knows me, knows that I am not always the most graceful person. I have been known to pour [Read more >>]

I’ve seen so many cute treats for Valentine’s Day – from cake pops and cookies, to elaborate cakes. But I needed something NOW.

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)! [Read more >>]

My Best Recipes of 2011

If you asked me to choose my favorite recipes from 2011, at first I would tell you – no problemo, piece of cake. In fact, it’s not a piece of cake (literally or figuratively, I guess). Its like asking a parent to choose their favorite child. Some are just too cute not to be included. Some too delicious. [Read more >>]

Chocolate Party Mice

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 [Read more >>]

Who would’ve thought these little Turkey Cake Pops 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. [Read more >>]
