A blog full of sweets and treats that are delicious, fun and simple to create.
When I came across a giant bag of pumpkin shaped marshmallows at the store, it was clear to me that they needed to be made into chocolate covered marshmallow pops. Another quick, easy no bake treat – while it may technically be Fall, it’s still over 100 degrees here in AZ, so no bake treats are the way to go. You need marshmallows, lollipop sticks, melting chocolate such as Wilton Melts, sprinkles and cute little sugar decorations. Start with your {Read More}
It’s probably not a big surprise to see another post with Halloween Peeps. They are so cute, and I need something to appease me until I can find those still illusive Candy Corn M&M’s. This is another fun and easy treat that requires no baking – Peeps Rice Krispies Treat Pops. To create some of your own Peeps Rice Krispies Treat Pops you need Peeps, Rice Krispies Treats (homemade or store bought), melting chocolate such as Wiltons Melts, {Read More}
It’s not really a secret that I love Peeps. There was the whole Peeps Week here on Love From The Oven, and of course the Push Pop Peeps that a few of you may have seen here or there. Brightly colored sugar coated holiday marshmallows – fun stuff if you ask me. While I was trying to find those illusive Candy Corn M&M’s yesterday at Walmart, I found the Halloween Peeps. They helped me forget all about the M&M’s as {Read More}
Peace, Love & Cake Pops…. While I generally do not sell my sweets and treats, I do take special requests from friends and family. Last week one of my fellow dance moms (yes, I’m a dance mom – though I like to think not quite like these dance moms) asked me if I could make cake pops for her wonderful daughter’s 13th birthday. She’s a great girl who has always been super sweet to my daughter, so I was {Read More}
Sometimes you need a cake that is fancy. Sometimes you need a cake that is unique. Sometimes you need a cake that wows. And sometimes you just need a cake that is simple, delicious and timeless. This cake is my favorite chocolate cake recipe – it falls into the simple, delicious and timeless category. It’s crazy moist and super chocolatey and never lets me down. The recipe comes from a trusted baking friend of mine, the side of the {Read More}
Mmmmm. More pumpkin. But before we talk about today’s recipe, I have to ask – is it just me, or is it really annoying when stores only carry canned pumpkin pie mix and not actual canned pumpkin? This is a pet peeve of mine, I mean if you can only manage to carry one pumpkin item, make it actual PUMPKIN. I can make a pie from a can of pumpkin, but I don’t know what the heck else I’d use {Read More}
Instead of making my favorite banana muffins or pumpkin muffins today, I decided to combine the two into one. These pumpkin banana bread muffins are delicious, moist and super low-fat. They also have the most overwhelmingly yummy scent while baking, much more so than almost any other bread I’ve made. Low Fat Banana Pumpkin Muffins
I may have mentioned a time or two (or ten) that some of my favorite recipes are my muffin recipes. They are probably my most personal recipes, as they are the ones I have developed for my daughters – working hard to pack them full of healthy ingredients while making them delicious enough that my extremely picky eaters will be happy to eat them. My eight year old loves the banana chocolate chip muffins and my toddler loves the pumpkin {Read More}
Cinnamon Rolls. Just saying it makes Monday morning a little easier, though having one to eat would make it a lot easier. For a fun twist on cinnamon rolls, how about Cinnamon Roll Push Pops? I think yes! If you love cinnamon rolls, you have to head over to Tip Junkie and check out my Push Pop Cinnamon Rolls. Not only can you see step by step how to make these sweet little treats, but you can also enter to {Read More}
For a few months now I’ve been dreaming about re-doing my kitchen. There’s the type or re-do I’d love to do (that whole cabinets, counter tops, floors, take it out of the 70′s tract home look type of thing), and there’s the reality re-do, which is more like paint and some accessories. My kitchen has been a lovely deep dark shade of red (Raspberry Truffle from Benjamin Moore to be exact – which really was the perfect red for us) {Read More}
One of my favorite food items to dress up are Rice Krispies Treats. They are really versatile and if you are in a hurry there’s no need to make a batch, just open a box (though flavor wise my heart belongs to the homemade ones). Here’s a fun little Halloween Rice Krispy Treat for you. You need… Rice Krispy Treats, Pretzel Rods, White Chocolate (such as Wiltons) and sprinkles. Unwrap your Rice Krispies Treat and
I absolutely adore a combo of salty and sweet. There is something about saltiness cutting into sweetness that I really don’t think can be beat. Pretzels seem to partner so well with chocolate and I’ve been trying to find more creative ways to pair the two. Let’s see what bakers and bloggers have been doing with salty sweet combinations… I have a few of my own to share, I’ll start with my chocolate covered pretzels. I make these often and {Read More}
