Diablo Brownie Pops. “Diablo” because these are evil. (For those of you who missed that day in Spanish, “diablo” translates to devil). There is absolutely nothing nice about these.

Coffee with too much cream and sugar, a new pair of jeans, driving around with the windows rolled all the way down and radio blaring, the smell of fresh linens, grilling outside with friends, sitting on a patio with a bottle of chardonnay, working out just to eat ice cream, getting home from the beach [Read more >>]
Remember getting candy apples at the fair? Well here’s what I’ve created: a simple caramel apple, with a little flair. Simple, yet de-lic-ious. Let’s call them: Chocolate, Vanilla, Candied, Caramel CANDIQUIK Apples. Or just candied apples… Only 4 ingredients necessary, but you can add as many as you want! Apples CANDIQUIK Caramel Sticks (I used lollipop sticks [Read more >>]
