Love Bites

Love Bites - Heart Cake Bites

I decided to name these ‘Love Bites’  for one reason and one reason only. They can be called Love Bites as in, a small delectable treat made with love. Or Love Bites as in, love blows, stinks, sucks, etc. And I find this sorta funny. Sorta? Well, especially for you anti-valentine’s people. I happen to love [Read more >>]

Chocolate Kiss Cake Bites

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 >>]

Vanilla Peppermint Pops

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 [Read more >>]

Cranberry Orange Bliss Bars

Copycat Cranberry Orange Bliss Bars @candiquik

I am begging you to make these Cranberry Orange Bliss Bars. You’re simply missing out if you don’t. These were heavenly. Decadent. Outstanding. I stumbled across them on Recipe Girl’s blog… They are basically a blondie bar topped with an amazing white chocolate cream cheese (with a hint of orange zest) frosting. You know the Bliss Bars [Read more >>]

Cake Bite Christmas Tree

Cake Bite Christmas Tree - made entirely of cake bites! @candiquik

This tree has to be one of the most elegant and awesome desserts I’ve ever 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 [Read more >>]

Chocolate Party Mice

MiceNew_blog

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 >>]

Peppermint Oreo Lollipops

christmas_Oreo_final1

I was thinking about this the other day… Kids typically want to keep all of their treats to themselves. When I was younger, I would have gladly devoured all of my treats, candy, etc. by myself. And then parents come along and suggest sharing and blah, blah, blah… you know the rest of the story. However, as adults, the [Read more >>]
