Happy Valentine's Day!

Valentine's Day is already here . . . time is flying by! I recently made these Valentine cookies. They were delicious! It resembled a mix between a strawberry Oreo & a whoopie pie. I had a lot of leftover icing and made a chocolate fudge cake last night, delicious!

Find the recipe here.

I hope your Valentine's Day is filled with LOTS of LOVE! =)

Cookies & Milk

Warm chocolate chip cookies & milk with a chocolate & sprinkle rimmed goblet . . . who can resist such cuteness?! (: I made these yesterday for our leadership meeting. Everyone loved them! The chocolate & sprinkle trimmed cup was easy to make. I bought semi-sweet chocolate chips & melted them in the microwave, dipped the rims of the glasses in the bowl, then dipped the rim again in a separate bowl with sprinkles. I put them in the fridge for a while to harden, but that's only optional.

The guys were eating the chocolate off of the glass after they finished the milk & cookies. It was hilarious because the sprinkles turned their lips hot pink! lol I should have taken a picture! Next time, I definitely will!

Caramel Apple Cupcakes!!

Yes, Carmel Apple Cupcakes... can fall get anymore delicious?! These were so much fun to make!! My house smelled AMAZING!! I don't think I've ever baked anything that smelled as good as these cupcakes did!

A pretty lil picture of all of the ingredients:

Apple Caramel Duncan Hines Cake Mix, 35 caramels, 1/4 cup Evaporated Milk, toppings, popsicle sticks, pumpkin cupcake wrappers =)

I used Duncan Hines "Apple Caramel" cake mix for the cupcakes. DELICIOUS. It has real apples in the cake mix as long as a caramel pouch you mix in the batter. Yum!

For the caramel topping, I used 1/4 cup of a Carnation's Evaporated Milk & 35 caramels. I cooked it on low & continually stirred it until it was all smooth & creamy.

For the toppings, I used what I already had on hand: honey roasted peanuts, candy corn autumn mix, & of course . . . SPRINKLES!

After they were all dressed up, you stick the Popsicle stick in the middle & wooolah!

Cute little things!!

They were DIVINE!

Happy Fall!!
