Crazy Domestic: Melted Snowman Cookies. I saw a picture of these the other day on Allrecipes.com and thought it was such a cute idea, I had to try it. After googleing it, I found a good tutorial on Stacy's Sweet Shop. I modified a few things to make it more simple for me (less homemade more store bought).

I've been seeing a lot of different versions of this bread floating around the internet. All of the versions I've seen are savory and use lots of cheese. While I love a good cheesy bread, I decided to go in a different direction and make a sweet version.
I settled on a cinnamon roll version. This bread is SO addictive. Cinnamon Roll Pulls(Printable Recipe) 1 unsliced round loaf sourdough bread 1/2 cup butter, softened 1/4 cup powdered sugar 1/4 cup honey 1 tsp pure vanilla extract 1 cup sugar 1 1/4 tsp cinnamon 1 cup powdered sugar 1-2 Tbsp milk Preheat oven to 350 degrees. To make Vanilla Honey Butter: Whip butter and 1/4 cup powdered sugar together until smooth; stir in honey and vanilla.

These little pies were so much fun to make.. so EASY...and so delicious. They went together in minutes and before long... we had fresh hot apple pie for dessert! Start to finish was maybe 20-25 minutes. I wasn't sure if I should peel the apple or leave the skin on, as the recipe didn't specify. So I left them on...I liked the texture and color it added. Next time I'll try without so I can compare the taste, though. I also wondered if the apple would be hard and uncooked baking such a short time, but they were very soft and tender, the crust crispy and golden.
I served them warm with ice cream....2 little pies a piece was just a perfect size dessert. I still don't know...... as they were gone in a flash. But my kitchen smelled great all day.... apples and cinnamon...making me wish I had made the full batch! Bite Size Apple Pies Taste of Home 1/2 c. sugar 2 tsp. cinnamon 1 pkg. (14.1 oz..} refrigerated pie crust 3 tbsp. melted butter, divided 2 medium tart apples, each cut into 8 wedges.

Strawberry rice krispie cupcake treats - Dirty Laundry - {the blog} Friday night I did a little experiment and made strawberry rice krispie treats in cupcake shapes with strawberry icing!
My husband has been requesting using strawberry marshmallows in rice krispie treats for some time now. I didn't think it would be that good. But Friday we saw strawberry marshmallows in the grocery store and I decided to give in and try it. Then he decided he wanted strawberry icing on it to. WHAT?!? I melted one 10 oz package of strawberry marshmallows and 3 tablespoons of butter in a pot. Meanwhile I measured out six cups of rice krispies and buttered my large muffin pan. The strawberry marshmallows and better got REALLY pink! I mixed in the rice krispies. I pressed the mixture into the cupcake tin. Here they are ready for the icing. The Betty Crocker icing was nice and light. They came out delicious! Next time I would use a regular size muffin pan.
And I would do it for a party. It was a fun experiment! Let me know if you try it. Rolo Cookies. Red Velvet Brownies with White Chocolate Buttercream. For the past three weeks I’ve been craving a yellow butter cake with vanilla Swiss meringue buttercream frosting. This post obviously isn’t about that cake. It’s about these Red Velvet Brownies with White Chocolate Frosting that I nearly had to wipe the drool off of my keyboard from when I came across the recipe. A chewy, dense, bright red (and in my opinion, all red velvet should be) brownie topped with a fluffy white chocolate buttercream frosting that actually tastes like the white chocolate I fell in love with as a child.
These are the type of brownies that will make your old Aunt Rhonda kick herself for not thinking to bring to the church picnic before her old rival, Harriett, did just that. I’ve only made one other red velvet recipe in my lifetime and I had forgotten about the destructive power of red food coloring so be prepared to go slowly when it comes time to add it in.

Valentine’s Day Hack: Make heart-shaped cupcakes with a regular tin. You don’t have to have a heart-shaped muffin tin to make fun heart-shaped muffins or cupcakes for Valentine’s Day. Simply line a tin with paper liners, then drop a marble in between the tin and liner. (Balls of aluminum foil will also work.) Carefully fill the liners to a little over 1/2 full (overfilling will cover the heart shape effect). Bake, remove from pan, remove marbles, cool, and frost.
