A blog full of sweets and treats that are delicious, fun and simple to create.
Salt + Sugar = Yummy. At least in my opinion. I make chocolate covered pretzels often, as I get quite a few requests from my friends and family for the salty, sugary, sweet treats. So why not throw some Peeps into the mix? Works for me! For a more detailed tutorial on how to make chocolate covered pretzels, you’ll want to check out this post. Here’s what you need for these… Peeps, pretzels, melting chocolate and sprinkles. Some wax paper {Read More}
While I wait for today’s Peeps treats to finish, I thought I’d share some of the other Peeps ideas I have seen around the web. ADORABLE Peeps bunting from Made. Love love love! Peeps centerpiece sweetness. Another cute Peeps centerpiece. Peep Garland. Peeps Wreath. Tuxedo Peeps. Peeps In A Jar. Peeps Dress. Not quite my style, but certainly creative! Peep Art. A Peeptini to wash it all down with.
Simple. Sweet. Classic. Cupcakes! With all the fun Peeps treats this week, today’s treat is keeping it simple. Pretty Peeps Cupcakes. Whip up your favorite cake mix or batter, color the batter or not, make some frosting or pop up a a can of frosting, and then have fun decorating. And speaking of decorating, in the past week I’ve noticed that Target, Walmart and Hobby Lobby all have a great selection of pretty spring sprinkles. Target had them in the {Read More}
A few weeks ago I stumbled across Cupkate’s Event Designs blog and her darling Push Pop Cupcakes. I didn’t even have to think twice, I put my order in for the push pop containers immediately from her Etsy store. I mean hello, these are ADORABLE. Cupcake shooters, push pop cupcakes, cupcake push pops, push cakes, cake shooter, cupcake shots, whatever you want to call them – I had to make them. I was already planning to make cupcakes for Peeps {Read More}
I have to admit, I’m really having a fun time creating different treats for Peeps Week. Today’s treat is Peeps Rice Krispies Treats. These are super quick and easy, and a great treat to let the kids help with. Here’s what you need… You could certainly make your own Rice Krispies treats, but I went with the pre-made version to keep this quick and simple. You’ll want to have Rice Krispies treats, melting chocolate, Peeps and then whatever you want {Read More}
I love Peeps. For as long as I can remember, they’ve been a part of Easter for me. They were my daughter’s very first taste of candy when she received her first Peeps in her Easter basket. They are bright, sweet, chewy and covered in sugar. What’s not to like? I like them so much, that I have a fun week of ideas and recipes to share using Peeps. Today’s Peep is Chocolate Covered Peeps Pops! They now sell {Read More}
For over a year, I wanted to make Bakerella’s cupcake cake pops. I’d look at them online, read about them, think about them, but frankly – I was intimidated by them. Finally a few weeks ago I gave them a try. One word. FAIL. I’m not sure what I did wrong, but they were just blobs. They tasted great, but were not very cute. A few days later I came across My Little Cupcake’s Cake Pop Mold. I figured for {Read More}
For Valentine’s Day this year, my husband hit it out of the ballpark. An iPad. I have had an iPhone for years, and if it’s not in my hand, it’s close by. I’ve been longing for the iPad since Apple first announced it, but just couldn’t justify the price. My husband had the bright idea of getting me one big gift to cover all the upcoming holidays. So my Happy Valen-Anniver-Mother’s-Birth-Christmas gift was an iPad. Fabulous. The only down side {Read More}
Magic cookie bars. Seven Layer Bars. Whatever you call them – I love them. I usually only make them for Christmas, and they are hands down the treat I look forward to the most. An added plus for me is that a lot of people seem to be a bit turned off by coconut and thus do not try them. This leaves more for me. I’m sooo fine with that. Buttery graham cracker crust, gooey creamy sweetened condensed {Read More}
I don’t spend much time around campfires, and I do not have a fireplace, so smores are a treat that I do not get to enjoy often enough. They are such a winning flavor combination – ooey gooey creamy marshmallows, crunchy graham crackers and of course the delicious melty chocolate. So if this girl wants smores, she has to improvise a bit and whip them up in the oven. I think I have found one heck of a great way {Read More}
I know I said I was done with St. Patty’s Day, but I had to add one of my favorite treats – it’s so easy and quick that it just can’t be left out. This really may be the one of the quickest recipes I have. I’ve made this a number of times when I needed something at the last minute. Salty and sweet, I seriously don’t think you can ever go wrong with chocolate and pretzels. When I say {Read More}
Today is 3.14. Which means four things. First, it’s Pi Day. Second, it’s my anniversary (15 years!). Third, it’s my little brother’s anniversary (2 years – and there is still debate as to if he actually knew that 3/14 was my anniversary as well, but it’s sure easy to remember). And fourth, I need a dessert to celebrate! I toyed around with wedding ideas to tie in to the anniversary, but I have had this Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie recipe {Read More}
