Mother's Day Dessert Cups. Serve up a yummy treat in a handmade, edible dessert cup.

Mother's Day Dessert Cups

And, for a sweet twist on the traditional Mother’s Day bouquet, use edible flowers as an extra special topper. You’ll love how easy this is! Plus, edible cups are like two desserts in one—and double dessert is definitely not a bad thing! Make Your Cups To make the cups, you only need two supplies: balloons and candy melts (any color will work—just match your table décor!). Melt the candies in a deep dish. Blow up small balloons to form the shape for each bowl. Set them on a wax paper-lined cookie sheet to dry. When the candy solidifies again, just pop the balloon with a pin and carefully remove it from the candy bowl.

Fill ‘Em Up! Now, let’s talk about how to fill the dessert cups. My mom loves ice cream, so we kept it simple and filled them with a few scoops of cherry vanilla. Choose a filler to suit your mom’s tastes: Cinnamon roasted almonds. I found this easy yet yummy looking recipe here.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles

Go ahead and throw tomatoes at me if you’d like, but I don’t like ’em. They’re just a plain old cookie, after all, with a few studs of chocolate chips in them. They’re nothing special to me, unless you get some cookie dough-action before it meets its fate in the oven. Now you’re talkin’. I’d much rather drown my sorrows in a bowl of cookie dough than nibble a dozen “cookies” dipped in milk. The domestic mama and the village cook.

Oh baby.

Oh yes. You can have your dough and eat it too. No raw eggs here. WOOOOOO~HOOOOO! (spell-check hates it when I put my words in there) So, these are no-bake, addictive and may even help you win friends and influence people, rumor has it. It makes a lot, so be sure and share. I told you it makes a lot. You don’t have to dip them, either. But, I did dip some, too…. had to do something with all that chocolate. Easy Decadent Truffles Recipe.

Place sauce pan over medium heat and stir until gelatin is dissolved, about 2-5 minutes. Fill molds. Allow to cool completely, about 20 minutes. Sea Salt Caramels with Vanilla Bean.
