A blog full of sweets and treats that are delicious, fun and simple to create.
I originally planned to take a look back and share my favorites from April through June, but geeze, April was a busy baking month with so many favorites that I decided they needed their own post. So let’s dig in to the yummy treats from April 2012… Oreo Truffle Stuffed Cupcakes With Cookies & Cream Frosting My much loved Oreo Truffles baked into a cupcake. Totally over the top. Totally delicious. Hot Cocoa Brownie Bowls With Two Minute Chocolate Mousse. {Read More}
A quick and easy no back sweet and salty treat for you this morning. Chocolate covered pretzels. I almost always default to these if I’m bringing a treat somewhere and am short on time. People are always amazed and think they must be so hard to make when in reality I think they are possibly the easiest item to create! And like most things, you can change the look so easily just by using different sprinkles, chocolate or sugar toppers. {Read More}
I usually try to create treats that look nice. I love when it’s possible to strike a balance between something being both visually appealing and totally delicious. But sometimes you just have to throw that out the door and make something like these… Over The Top Marshmallow Pretzel Pops. A lot to say. Heck, a lot to eat. These are kind of completely excessive. You have a giant marshmallow, a pretzel rod, caramel, chocolate, pretzel pieces and M&M’s. All in {Read More}
One of my husband’s favorite treats are the peanut butter filled pretzels from Trader Joe’s. The perfect combo of peanut butter and pretzel, all in one bite. And don’t even get me started on the chocolate covered version, they are basically bliss in a bag. Pair these babies with brownies and this is the result… Peanut Butter Filled Pretzel Brownies. Don’t even think about it, just make them. I used my favorite homemade brownie recipe, but you could absolutely use {Read More}
One of my absolute flavor combinations is salty and sweet. It’s hard to beat – almost perfection. I recently came across these Pretzel Balls from HK Anderson online, and after searching (obsessively) for months, I finally found them. I found some small sized bags of these at Big Lots. Mine were called Popcorn Style Pretzel Balls, but I think they are the same thing. The company has a product finder online, but most of the stores I went to {Read More}
I’ll admit it, I have very rarely made homemade ice cream. It’s kind of odd given that… 1. I have a great ice cream maker. 2. I have incredibly fond memories from childhood of my Dad making his homemade ice cream (in the big wooden ice cream making machine). 3. My kiddo asks me all the time to make some. I’m not sure why I don’t. I think it’s probably because most of the recipes have a lot of steps, {Read More}
Here’s a look back at some of my favorite recipes from April – June of 2011… Stuffed Rice Krispies Treats Peeps Cookie Pops Donut Pops Chocolate Covered Caramel Brownie Pretzel Pops Ice Cream Cone Sundae Cupcakes Free Teacher Appreciation Printable Labels
It was on January 1st of this year that I started Love From The Oven. My original idea was to simply have a place I could keep track of my own recipes. I’m terribly disorganized with paper, I need everything to be searchable by computer! I also wanted to have a way to share my recipes with the friends and family members that ask for them. It quickly grew into so much more, and it has been such an amazing {Read More}
Candy Corn = Good. Pretzels = Good. Oreos = Good. Caramel Corn = Good. White Chocolate = Good. Put them all together and make bark out of them = CRAZY GOOD. I’ve seen a number of versions of this recipe around the internet for years, and no matter which version you go with, it’s a good idea to go with one of them and make this! It’s such a great combo of salty, sweet, crunchy, creamy and just plain deliciousness. {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}
After putting together the Samoa Recipe Collection, I was craving a chocolate, caramel & coconut concoction (to say the least). I wanted to come up with something simple, and pretzels are my go to ingredient for simple. The result was chocolate, coconut & caramel covered samoa inspired pretzels. These came together very easily, and tasted insanely good. You only need a few things… Pretzels, melting chocolate, coconut and caramel (I prefer the Kraft Caramel Bits). And Pam (or some other {Read More}
