Wine & Chocolate Cake Bites

Mother’s Day is on Sunday! Have you called your mother lately? I’ll wait while you do… I don’t even know how to begin thanking my mom for everything she has done for my sister and me. I mean, the woman gave us life, how do I thank her for that with a card?? “Happy Mother’s Day, [Read more >>]

Sunflower Cookie Pops

Sunflower Cookie Pops - blog.candiquik.com

So yes, I’ve been known to hoard candy. And sprinkles. Because you just never know when you’re going to need candy corn to make sunflower cookies, right!? Or jumbo nonpareils for eyeballs. I’m sure some of you understand… Well today I was glad I had not only one color of candy corn, but TWO. (Keep [Read more >>]

Peanut Butter Truffle Spoons

Do you ever have one of those days where you just want to eat peanut butter straight from the jar? Please tell me I’m not the only one… One of those days where nothing seems desirable except stuffing your face with whatever sweets you can find?! Yeah, these are great for those days. They’d also be [Read more >>]

Strawberry Shortcake Cake Pops

The other day I was realizing how long it had been since I posted a new cake pop idea on the blog. Shame on me. Because they’re still goin’ strong and this blog is proving it to me. After all, the Cake Pop Tutorial is still one of the most popular posts! You may remember [Read more >>]

Chocolate Cherry Shortbread Cookies

Chocolate Cherry Shortbread Cookies with a surprise ingredient that makes these awesome!

I’m a fairly picky cookie person. The dough to chip ratio must not exceed my liking. I can’t stand when there are TOO many chocolate chips in a cookie (yes, this is totally possible). Plus, too fluffy of a cookie is not okay (this happened once when I subbed greek yogurt for half of the [Read more >>]

Orange Creamsicle Cake Bites

Orange Creamsicle Cake Bites | blog.candiquik.com

First things first, it’s my 3 year blog anniversary! Holy canoli. I barely knew a thing about blogging when I started Miss CandiQuik. But it’s so much fun and there is a true sense of community in the blogging world. If you’re thinking about starting a blog: do it. Start it and be persistent. Keep [Read more >>]

Mocha Marshmallow Pops

http://blog.candiquik.com/mocha-marshmallow-pops/

I have a confession. I tried a macaron for the first time, ever. I know, I know. What a terrible baker/dessert blogger I am! The worst part is that when I say I tried one – that’s exactly what I mean. Tried. I was not the baker. Have you ever tried a French macaron? I [Read more >>]

Personal Vanilla Berry Cream Pies

Personal Vanilla Berry Cream Pie (in mason jars!) from Miss CandiQuik

Ok, maybe these aren’t sooo “personal” sized. Instead, you could grab 2 spoons and share - or not. They’re actually not all that much more than a large piece of pie. You know what, you could probably even freeze these and pull out whenever the time is right. Or bring them to work! Hey, you have to [Read more >>]

(Easy) White Chocolate Raspberry Petit Fours

Sometimes I have a hard time focusing on one thing for a long period of time. I’ll be writing a blog post and go to check who commented on my last status update, then I remember an email I need to respond to, then I just need to check the weather… you know how it [Read more >>]

Cherry Coconut Bonbons

It’s just about time to start posting fall inspired recipes and then umm, that season that follows fall. Yikes. Let’s not talk about that yet. Let’s talk about cherry chips, coconut, chocolate, and all the goodness they can produce. I’m usually not a huge fan of cherry flavored stuff – I know, I’m weird. But if you’ve [Read more >>]

Whoopie Pies

Whoopie Pies. Ok, sorta whoopie pies. But please save the “these aren’t realllllyy whoopie pies” comments. I know. You know. We know. (Feelin’ a little feisty today can you tell?) But they kind of look like whoopie pies, which is close enough for me. Mock whoopie pies. There we go. Like the mock ice cream pops made a [Read more >>]
