Homemade Twix Candy Bar Recipe. Monkey Cake Balls. HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY, SUNNY! Yes, it’s Sunny’s birthday, and as promised, we’re monkeying around to celebrate.

Silk-Dyed Eggs {aka TIE-Dyed!} I posted this tutorial a few years ago and it has become somewhat of a tradition to bring it back every year! One of our family Easter traditions is dying eggs with pieces of silk. I saw a cute lady show Martha how to do it a few years ago and I ran upstairs right then to steal a tie! It’s way cooler than those cups of neon liquid that end up all over your clothes, your furniture and your hands plus it gives you an excuse to rid a man’s closet of ugly ties. Here’s the run-down: You need 100% silk for this to work. I try to find an assortment of colors and patterns. Usually it will tell you if it’s 100% silk right on the main label of the tie, but a lot of them don’t, and if that’s the case, check that little tiny end, it’s usually hiding there.

And this one. And this little one. You may also remember seeing them from the Toronto Book Signing Post. Teatro Verde is the only store I’ve actually seen them sold in. Anyway, I love ‘em. As a surprise for Julie, I made a few cake pops inspired by them to bring to the party. Wanna see? Cupcake Nutcracker guys. She squealed. They’re double decker cake pops, too. I also made some Christmas Tree cake pops.
Much easier. I really like them like this. Speaking of trees, Julie’s party decorations this year also included two new ones. And this whimsical upside down tree. Chop into bars. - Remove pan from the freezer, and lift up the waxed paper or plastic to remove the frozen block of tasty treats. - Deposit your block on a cutting board. - Use a sharp, heavy kitchen knife to cut the rough edges offf your block, making the edges nice and square and tidy. (Yes, eating the detritus is absolutely required.) - Cut strips across your block. These should be the desired width of your finished Snickers bars.
I recommend about 2cm, or somewhere between 3/4"-1". - Return the block to the freezer as needed to resolidify, as it cuts much more tidily when firmly frozen. - Cut across your strips, setting the length of your finished Snickers bars.
