Cookie Dough Truffles - Blue-Eyed Bakers. Last night we threw a little Oscar soiree. Really, we'll use any excuse to throw a party and buy new cocktail napkins. Secretary's Day, Earth Day, Daylight Savings...all perfect excuses to have a little get together. But the Oscars? Well they hold a special place in our hearts. See, these blue-eyed's have a slight theatrical streak. It's just our flair for the dramatics! Seriously, Pink Dallas, our 2 person variety show way back when was very progressive. Slash no one can EVER watch those. But wait, why were we talking about Pink Dallas? So parties need food. That's right cupcakes. Obviously we had to have these sprinkles, we are, of course, completely incapable of resisting tiny metallic sprinkles (who isn't really?). Racking our internal recipe file we searched for things that could be sprinkled with stars. Oh yes, these things are sooo Oscar worthy.

Oh My: S'More's Pie - Ingredients, Inc. Oh My: S’More’s Pie June 08, 2010 I have been on a S’mores kick lately as you will see in the coming days. I came up with this recipe by accident. I was trying to get rid of some ingredients from another s’mores recipe project I was working on for “Makes and Takes”, a great website for craft ideas, kid’s craft ideas, food and fun, and I ended up with this. When I put the photograph up on twitter and facebook, everyone went nuts. So here it is. It’s not a “light” recipe, but here are some ways to lighten it up and make it a tiny bit healthier. S'mores Pie Prep: 10 minutes Cook: 5 minutes Yield: 8 to 10 servings 1 (12-ounce) package semisweet or dark chocolate morsels1 (9-inch) reduced-fat graham cracker crust21/2 cups mini marshmallows 1. 3. 2 Responses to “Oh My: S’More’s Pie” That's got to be one of the easiest and most fun recipes, ever!

Looks like such a fun and easy dessert! Make Your Own: Candy. There’s a reason why they put all that deliciously sweet candy up by the cash registers in nearly every store: if you had to find it at the back of the place, you’d likely decide against it before you got up front to pay.

But you’re an adult, and once a child sets their sights on a candy bar, there’s no turning back. Instead of worrying about all of the sketchy ingredients, extra calories, additives, and possible allergens in popular packaged sweets, here are a few recipes to Make Your Own Candy right at home. Homemade Twix Candy Bar Recipe Twix bars are the best because they come in a delightful little pair. With this recipe, you can create that crispy crunchy cookie, smooth creamy chocolate and a sweet caramel taste in your kitchen. Using homemade or store bought shortbread changes up the difficulty of the process. (Link) Homemade Peanut Butter Cups Peanut butter allergies aside, it’s hard to believe anyone could deny anything that combines peanut butter and chocolate.

DIY Lollipop. Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries. What? Yes! Um... ok. Why didn't I think of this?!?!?! Of course you can hollow out a strawberry and stuff it full of cheesecake. Of course you can!!! And just in time for Valentine's Day... perfect excuse to make them! Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries Here's what you need: About 20 strawberries... this was a little over one carton for me. 8 oz pkg softened cream cheese 1/2 cup powdered sugar 1/2 tsp vanilla 1 sleeve of graham crackers 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional) First you will want to wash the strawberries and cut off the tops.

Now core them! A thin ended apple peeler.... And a small knife.... I liked the knife better! The easiest way to core the strawberries is to hold the entire berry in your hand (wrap your fingers around it) and literally just core out the center. Um... Now to make the filling.... Beat the cream cheese. Now to fill the strawberries!!! I didn't want to hurt my zip lock baggies feelings so I used one to crush the graham crackers in. Oh man.... these are so cute. So......

Chocolate Butterflies Using Wax Paper and Books! {Pattern Included} Welcome to the first post in my five week series. I have the most amazing pinterest inspired party ideas to share with you all. 5 Weeks Worth!!!! That's right,for the next 5 weeks I will be posting amazing tutorials, every day.

Here's why: My lovely sister, Jordan, and I have been planning a surprise birthday party for our gorgeous sister Laurel's 19th birthday. This project all started when I saw these beautiful chocolate butterflies on Pioneer Woman about a year ago & I finally had a opportunity to try them out for myself. Trace out the pattern by placing the wax paper over a printed version (my pattern is found at the bottom of the post.) Next, melt your chocolate almond bark. Don't use chocolate chips.

I didn't want to risk my butterfly sticking so I LIGHTLY buttered my wax paper. Turn your wax paper over (with the marker pattern you drew facing the counter) and fold your paper with the crease in the middle of the butterflies body. Now, for the moment you've been waiting for! 2-Minute Chocolate Chip Cookie For One « Recipe. This is one of those ‘I-need-a-cookie-right-now-or-I-die’ recipes that can be prepared in almost no time.We all know that kind of situation, don’t we? I definitely do, I confess.And you know what? This impressive cookie not only takes less than 5 minutes to prepare, it tastes really delicious.

Just like a good chocolate chip cookie.The preparation is beyond easy… just have a look… First you need this stuff. 1. Place the butter and sugars in a 2-cup bowl or ramekin. Use a fork to combine all these ingredients. 2. 3. 4. Save a few for the top, if you wish to.5. Ta-dah! 6. I hope you have chocolate chips handy. They’re cookies. They’re brownies. They’re brookies. Whatever you want to call them they’re good. They combine the taste of a chocolate chip cookie and with the texture of a moist brownie. The best of both worlds. Actually, they do have a name. Well, I had them for the first time the other day.

Sometimes I wonder where I’ve been and how I could have gone this long without tasting easy treats like this. Here’s all the ingredients. If you follow the directions in the recipe, you combine everything by hand, but I decided to use my mixer and let it do all the work. Look at that beautifully thick batter. Spread it all out in a 13 X 9 pan and bake for about 30 minutes. Cool and cut. These are from the first batch. These are from the second batch and slightly… just slightly, more cakey when you sink your teeth in. At first I thought it was just a difference in baking time, but Lori also made a batch using a mixer without knowing that was how I made mine and both of ours came out the same. By hand: Pip & Ebby - Pip & Ebby - Hot cocoa cookies.

I am a teeny bit obsessed with the cookies from the most recent issue of EveryDay with Rachael Ray magazine. This recipe is the second of many cookie recipes on my list to make this holiday season. Sweets are taking over my life! Just ask my coworkers. They get my leftovers, and I think they are starting to resent the way I am forcing them to eat sinful treats. I don't think I need to tell you that these were tasty. The photos sort of speak for themselves.. Ooey gooey chocolatey marshmallowy deliciousness. In a medium saucepan, melt together: 1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter 12 oz. chopped semisweet chocolate (bars) Stir frequently over medium heat until smooth.

Enjoy!

How to make macarons - some tips and tricks. For those of you who read this blog regularly, you will know that macarons are one of my obsessions. Some of you may remember a couple of my early attempts (here, here, and here), then the epiphany of the class at Lenôtre in Paris.

Following that class, I had a number of successes and I found the recipe to be very similar to Helene’s (of Tartelette blog) and I used a combination of the Lenôtre techniques with Helene’s recipe most of last year, with varying success. Being a Taurean (stubborn) and A-type (a planner) what bugged me about macarons was how unpredictable they were. On many occasions I have wanted to make them for dinner parties or gifts but given the fact that I never knew if it was going to be a “feet” kinda day, I always chose something else. Until recently. In a serendipitous moment, I happened across The Brave Tart, a blog by Stella, the Resident Pastry Girl at Table 310, via her gorgeous picture and recipe for florentines.

And voilà: The “lunch duty” macarons. Macarons. A lot of people get the wrong impression about macarons and avoid making them because they’re supposedly the most difficult thing in the world to make. Truly, they’re not difficult at all. What is difficult is mastering them. For some reason people mistakenly think if something can’t be mastered on the first try, it’s too hard to fool with. But there’s no reason to master macarons on the first try. Unless you just burn the crap out of them, they’re going to taste phenomenal regardless of their flaws. It’s like leaning to ride a bike, except that when you “fail” you get delicious cookies instead of a skinned knee. Each time one of those things happen, you have a chance to learn about what went wrong with your technique if you want to learn. If this is your first time making macarons, read through these posts to familiarize yourself with some common problems and mistakes.

I get a lot of macaron emails each week and most of them are about a question already answered in one of those posts. Recipe Box: Dipped Pretzels.

Xoxo Elle Photos from: Gracious Rain. Nutella Brownies | Three Ingredients. I am about to change your life. I am about to make you the happiest person on the planet. I am about to show you how to make brownies with only three ingredients. And I am going to exploit the inherent fantastical properties of Nutella in doing so. See, Nutella already has fat, milk, and chocolate in it. Since those are the things you would normally be adding to traditional brownies separately, why not use a product that already has these things - and hazelnuts! See, you knew Nutella was amazing. Go. Ingredients: 1 cup (280g) Nutella 2 eggs 10 tbsp (62g) flourDirections: Put it in a bowl. You're welcome.
