Easter Treats

Hi everyone,

As Easter is this weekend I thought today would be a great day to share some fun and delicious Easter treats, let’s get into it.

The first treat we have is Easter Funfetti Cookies. These are super simple to make and so yummy.

What You Need:

• 1 box of funfetti cake mix
• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup of oil
• 1/3 cup of white chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup of Easter M&M’s
• 2 tablespoons of multi colored nonpareils

What You Do:

• The first things you’re going to do are preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Then in a large bowl add your cake mix, eggs and oil and mix for about 1 minute or until it’s well combined.
• To your cake batter add in the white chocolate chips, M&M’s and nonpareils. Give that a good stir and make sure everything is well distributed.
• Next take your cookie scoop, I recommend using a 1/1.5 inch scoop, and scoop out the dough. Place on your cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
• If you want, I do this, press extra M&M’s and white chocolate chips into the cookie balls before baking.
• Bake the cookies for 8-9 minutes or until the edges are just golden brown.
• Once the cookies are done take them out and place them on a cooling rack completely.
• Serve and enjoy!

The next treat we have is No Bake Chocolate Coconut Nests. I love little things like this, I’ve made this many times over the years and it’s always a hit.

What You Need:

• 24 Cadbury mini eggs
• 3/4 cups of chocolate chips
• 1 1/2 cups of unsweetened coconut

What You Do:

• The first thing you’re going to do is preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Then you’re going to take your shredded coconut and spread it onto a baking sheet for toasting. Place in the oven for 5-10  minutes or until it’s lightly golden brown but make sure to keep and eye on it because coconut can burn quickly.
• Once the coconut is toasted let it cool and while it’s cooling melt your chocolate chips. To melt the chips place them in a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30 second increments until it’s all melted and smooth.
• In a large bowl add the coconut and melted chocolate and stir. Making sure everything is well coated and combined.
• Then take a spoon and spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the mixture on to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and make into a nest shape. Fill the next with 2-3 mini eggs.
• Let the nests set before eating, you can do this at room temperature or in the fridge.
• Serve and enjoy!

The second to last treat we have is Springtime Celebration Popcorn. I love popcorn and popcorn like this is great for every holiday.

What You Need:

• 10 cups of popped popcorn
• 3 tablespoons of salted sweet cream butter
• 3 cups of mini marshmallows
• Easter M&M’s
• Easter sprinkles

What You Do:

• The first step is to pop and salt the ten cups of popcorn. Once you’ve done that place it in a large bowl and set that aside.
• Next take a medium sauce pan and to that add the 3 tablespoons of butter. Once the butter is melted add the mini marshmallows. Stir until the marshmallows are melted and turn off the heat once that has happened.
• Pour about 3/4 of the marshmallow mixture over your popcorn and gently stir until all the popcorn is coated. Then pour the popcorn onto a parchment covered baking sheet and spread it out.
• Then drizzle the rest of the marshmallow over the popcorn and add the candy and sprinkles.
• Let the popcorn cool and place it in your preferred serving dish.
• Serve and enjoy!

And the last treat we have is Cadbury Easter Fudge. This is such an easy recipe and fudge is always a great holiday treat.

• Then in a microwave safe bowl add in your chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave that for 2 1/2-3 minutes and stir until smooth.
• To the chocolate mixture add the marshmallows and stir to evenly distribute.
• Pour the mixture into the pan with the mini eggs on the bottom and smooth it out. To the top of that add the rest of the mini eggs.
• Place in the fridge for 30-45 minutes or until set.

• Bake for 7-9 minutes or until the edges are slightly brown. Once the cookies are done take them out and place on a cooling rack to cool completely.

• Next make the cream filling. In a medium bowl add your softened cream cheese and mix until soft and creamy. Then add in the Bailey’s and powdered sugar. Once that is well combined, fold in the whipped cream by hand and set aside.
• To make the caramel drizzle, take the bag of caramels and once you’ve unwrapped them put them in a medium pan with 3 tablespoons of Jameson and place that over low heat. Add in 2-3 more tablespoons of Jameson until you’ve got the consistency and taste you want.

Blogmas Day Four: Holiday Treats

Hi everyone,

Welcome to Blogmas Day Four! Today I thought it would be fun to share some delicious holiday treats with you guys. I love baking all throughout the year, but especially during the holidays and I do quite a lot of it. I have four different treats I’m going to talk about, so let’s get into it.

The first treat we have is Christmas Muddy Buddies. I make these for every holiday, they’re super easy to put together and always a crowd pleaser.

What You Need:

• 1 box of Chex cereal, you can use whichever you prefer, I do a combo of half rice Chex half chocolate Chex
• 2 cups of semi sweet chocolate chips
• 3/4 cup of creamy peanut butter
• 6 tablespoons of butter cut into small pieces
• 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
• 2 cups of powdered sugar
• 1 cup of holiday M&M’s

What You Do:

• The first step is to take two baking sheets and line them. Once you’ve done that, set them aside. Then pour your cereal into a large bowl and set that aside as well.
• Next take a microwavable bowl and add in the chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter. Microwave that on high for one minute and stir. Microwave for an additional 10-30 seconds or until the mixture is smooth when you stir it.
• Once the mixture is smooth stir in the vanilla and pour over the cereal, making sure it’s evenly coated.
• Then coat the cereal in the powdered sugar. For this you can stir it into the bowl or you can pour the cereal into large Ziploc bags, add powered sugar and shake it all up. But either way make sure it’s evenly coated.
• Spread the cereal out on the two baking sheets to cool. Once it’s cool put it in your serving vessel, add the holiday M&M’s and give a gentle stir to make sure everything is well combined.
• Serve and enjoy!

The next treat we have is Christmas Sprinkle Cookies, these are a holiday classic and easy to make.

What You Need:

• 1 cup of softened butter
• 1 cup of granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon of kosher salt
• 1/2 of Christmas colored sprinkles

What You Do:

• The first thing you’re going to do is get a large bowl and to that add your butter and sugar. Beat that at medium speed until it’s light and fluffy.
• Then add in the egg and vanilla extract and mix.
• Once that’s mixed add the flour and salt and mix until just combined.
• Next, shape your dough into 1 inch balls and roll in the sprinkles, making sure they’re evenly coated.
• Once all the dough balls are coated slightly flatten them and add a few more sprinkles.
• You can put these in the fridge to firm up but it takes much longer, so I freeze mine for about 15 minutes.
• While you’re waiting on the cookies to firm up, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Remove your cookies from the freezer and place on the cookie sheet at least 2 inches apart and bake until the edges are lightly browned. About 12-15 minutes.
• Once the cookies are out let them sit on the pan for 2 minutes then move to a cooling rack to cool completely.
• Serve and enjoy!

The second to last treat we have is a cookie I make every year and it’s Chocolate Peppermint Thumbprint Cookies.

What You Need:

• 1 teaspoon of mint extract
• 1 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
• 2/3 cup of cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
• 28 unwrapped peppermint Kisses

What You Do:

• The first step is to preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line your cookie sheets with parchment paper.
• Next, cream together the butter and both the sugars until they’re light and fluffy. Then add in the eggs one at a time until just combined and mix in the mint extract.
• In a medium bowl combine the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Add the dry mixture to the butter mixture in parts, making sure to mix until just combined each time and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• Once everything is well combined refrigerate the dough for at least 3 hours. You can let it sit overnight if you want.
• Once out of the fridge, roll into 1 inch balls and place 1-2 inches apart on the cookie sheet.
• Bake for 10 minutes. Once they’re done let them cool for about 3 minutes and press 1 peppermint Kiss into the top of each cookie.
• Move the cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely.
• Serve and enjoy!

And the last treat we have is Gingerbread Cookies. I really like gingerbread but I don’t make it a whole lot, maybe this will change that.

What You Need:

• 2 1/4 cups of flour
• 2 teaspoons of ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon of ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 3/4 cup of softened butter
• 1 cup of white sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon of orange juice

Mother’s Day Desserts

Hi everyone,

I was looking at the calendar and realized that Mother’s Day is coming up, so I thought that this was the time to start looking at different food and drink options. So today I’m going to be talking about a few different desserts that are perfect for Mother’s Day. My mom has a big sweet tooth, so finding something to make for her is always fun for me. That being said, let’s get into it.

The first dessert we have is Double Lemon Cheesecake Bars. I’ve made these before and they’re super good. This recipe makes 16 servings.

What You Need:

• 52 finely crush vanilla wafers
• 3 tablespoons of melted butter
• 4 eggs
• 4 softened 8 ounce packages of cream cheese
• 1 3/4 cups of sugar
• 3 tablespoons of flour
• 1 tablespoon of lemon zest
• 1/3 cup of lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
• 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
• 1/2 cup of water

What You Do (Cheesecake):

• The first thing you’re going to do is preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Then line a 13 x 9 pan with foil, making sure to have a little foil going over the sides.
• Next take the finely crushed vanilla wafers and combine them with the butter and mix well. Pour that mixture into your foil lined pan and press down making sure to evenly distribute it and bake for 10 minutes.
• Your next step is separating 1 egg and refrigerating the yolk until you’re ready to use it. Then add the cream cheese, 1 cup of sugar, flour, lemon zest, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and vanilla to a large bowl and mix until well combined.
• Then add the egg white and the remaining 3 whole eggs one at a time, making sure to blend at a low speed until it’s completely blended and pour over your crust.
• Bake for about 40 minutes or until the middle is almost set. Cool for an hour then refrigerate for four hours.

What You Do (Lemon Glaze):

• Mix the cornstarch and remaining sugar together in a medium saucepan. Stir in water and the remaining lemon juice gradually until it’s well combined. Bring barely to a boil on medium heat and stir constantly until it’s clear and has thickened.
• Take the egg yolk that you reserved and beat it with a fork in a small bowl. To that stir in 2 tablespoons of the cornstarch mixture then pour that back in to the saucepan and stir until well combined.
• Cook that mixture for about 1 minute or until thickened, making sure to stir constantly. And cool slightly once it’s done.
• Take the lemon glaze and spoon it over the cheesecake. Pop that in the fridge for an hour or until it’s firm.
• Remove the cheesecake from the pan and slice.
• Serve and enjoy!

The next dessert we have is Chocolate Mousse. When it’s done right, chocolate mousse is one of my favorites and this is one of the good ones. This recipe makes 8-10 servings.

What You Need:

• 1 1/2 cups of mini marshmallows
• 8 ounces of semi sweet chocolate, chopped
• 1/2 cup of milk
• 2 cups of heavy whipping cream

What You Do:

• The first thing you want to do is add the marshmallows, chocolate and milk to a saucepan and heat it over medium low heat. Making sure to stir constantly until the marshmallows and chocolate are completely melted. Once they are completely melted, take off the heat and cool completely.
• Next take the heavy whipping cream and beat it in a large bowl until it forms stiff peaks.
• Then gently fold the chocolate mixture into the whipped cream until it’s well combined.
• Spoon the mousse into whatever dishes you’re serving it in and put in the fridge for about 3 hours or until it’s set.
• Serve and enjoy!

Easter Treats

Hi everyone,

Today, as Easter is coming up, I thought that I would share some fun and completely delicious treats. I’ve always liked Easter, always found it really fun and as an adult that childhood enthusiasm that I had for finding eggs and eating candy has morphed into enthusiasm for making a fun dessert and let’s be honest, still eating candy. Because candy is more fun when it’s pastel colored. With that being said, let’s get into it.

The first treat we have is always a crowd favorite and super simple to make, Easter Muddy Buddies.

What You Need:

• 9 cups of Chex cereal
• 1 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup of peanut butter
• 1/4 cup of butter
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups of confectioners sugar
• 1 bag of Easter M&M’s
• 1 bag of mini marshmallows

What You Do:

• The first thing you’re going to do is measure out your cereal, pour it into a large bowl and set aside. Then take a baking sheet and line that with wax/parchment paper, whichever you have, and set that aside.
• Then add your chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter to a medium size microwave safe bowl and microwave for 1 minute and stir when it comes out. Continue to microwave in 30 seconds blocks, making sure to stir after each block, until it’s completely melted. Once it is melted, add the vanilla and stir to make sure it’s well combined.
• Take that mixture and pour it over the cereal. Mix gently until everything is evenly coated. Then put that mixture into a 2 gallon bag and add the confectioners sugar. Make sure the bag is fully sealed and shake it until the cereal is all coated.
• Once coated in the sugar, pour the cereal onto the baking sheet to cool. Then add in the M&M’s and mini marshmallows, making sure to give it a little mix to combine everything.
• Serve and enjoy!

The second treat we have is Springtime Crinkle Cookies. I really like crinkle cookies and these have a good chance of being what I make on Easter. This recipe makes 32 cookies.

What You Need:

• 1 cup of butter
• 2 cups of white sugar
• 4 eggs
• 4 tablespoons of lemon juice
• 4 tablespoons of lemon zest
• 4 1/2 cups of flour
• 4 teaspoons of baking powder
• 1/2 to 1 cup of powdered sugar
• Food coloring

What You Do:

• The first step here is to cream the butter and sugar together. Mix until it’s well combined then add in the eggs. Mix that until the dough is fluffy.
• Then add in the lemon juice and lemon zest and mix. Add in the baking powder. And finally add in the flour a third at a time, making sure to mix well between adds.
• Once the dough is together, split it into four portions and color those portions pink, purple, yellow and blue.
• Put the dough in the fridge for two hours.
• After you take the dough out of the fridge form them into balls and roll the balls in the powdered sugar.
• Bake the cookies at 350 for 8-10 minutes.
• When the cookies are done let them cool on a wire rack.
• Once cooled, serve and enjoy!

The last treat we have is Easter Oreo Bark. I’ve made bark a few times before, it’s always delicious and it takes almost no time to make.

What You Need:

• 1 package of vanilla coating candy
• 3/4 cup of crushed Oreos
• Easter M&M’s
• Cadbury Mini Eggs
• Spring/Easter sprinkles

What You Do:

• Take the vanilla coating candy and melt in a small pot over low heat. Making sure you’re stirring constantly until it’s all melted.
• Then pour it over a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
• Sprinkle on your crushed Oreos, M&M’s, Mini Eggs and sprinkles.
• Place it into the fridge for thirty minutes to an hour.
• Once you take it out of the fridge, break it into pieces.
• Serve and enjoy!

That about wraps it up for this post, if you guys make any of these treats tweet me a picture or tag me on Instagram. And if you have any treat suggestions, let me know.

Until next time, have fun baking and I hope you have a happy Easter :).

St. Patrick’s Day Treats

Hi everyone,

Today I’m going to be sharing some fun and delicious St. Patrick’s Day treats. I’m Irish, so I like to do it up a little and have some fun with the day. But whether you’re Irish or just want some festive food, these treats are perfect.

The first treat we have is a Bailey’s Chocolate Cake. Bailey’s is a St. Patrick’s Day staple and I find that it pairs really well with chocolate.

What You Need (Cake):

• 2 cups of all purpose flour
• 2 cups of sugar
• 3/4 cup of natural unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons of baking powder
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 2 large eggs
• 3/4 cup of milk
• 1 cup of vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup of Bailey’s Irish Cream
• 3/4 cup of boiling water
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla

What You Need (Bailey’s Frosting):

• 1 1/2 cups of butter
• 1 1/4 cups of shortening
• 10 1/4 cups od powdered sugar
• 5 tablespoons of Bailey’s Irish Cream

What You Need (Chocolate Ganache):

• 4 1/2 ounces of semi sweet chocolate chips
• 6 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream

What You Do (Cake):

• The first step here is to prepare the cake pans and for this you’re going to take three 8 inch pans and put parchment paper on the bottom and grease the sides. Then preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Next take all of your dry ingredients and add them to a large bowl, making sure well combine them. To that mixture, add the eggs, milk, oil and Irish Cream and mix it well. Finally, add in the water and the vanilla.
• Once that is well combined divide the batter evenly among the three pans. Bake for 32-34 minutes or until you stick a toothpick in and it comes out with just a few crumbs.
• When the cakes are done take them out of the oven and cool them for 10 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
• As the cake cools, make the frosting. For that, the first step is to take the butter and shortening and beat them together until it’s smooth.
• Once smooth add in about half of the powdered sugar but make sure to mix until smooth after each spoonful of powdered sugar.
• Add in 4 tablespoons of the Irish Cream and mix until well combined. Then, slowly, add in the rest of the powdered sugar. If you find that you want a smoother consistency after adding the additional powdered sugar, add the rest of the Irish Cream.
• The first step to putting the cake together is to take a serrated knife and cut the tops off of the cake layers so each layer is flat. Once you’ve done that, place the first layer on a plate or cake circle and spread 1 cup of the frosting into an even layer.
• Add the second layer of cake and cup of frosting and top with the third layer of cake and frost the cake with the remaining frosting.
• Once frosted, set aside and make the chocolate ganache. To do that add the chocolate chips to a glass bowl. Then microwave the heavy cream until it’s boiling and add it to the chocolate chips. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap for around 5 minutes then whisk until the chocolate is smooth.
• Take a spoon and drizzle the ganache down the sides of the cake. Then pipe little dollops of frosting around the boarder of the cake and spread the remaining ganache in the middle of the boarder.
• Serve and enjoy!

The second treat we have is Brownie Mint Trifle. I love trifle, so I’m excited to make this one.

What You Need:

• 1 9×13 pan of your favorite brownies
• 1 3.4 ounce package of vanilla instant pudding mix
• 1 1/2 cups of cold milk
• 1 cup of whipped topping
• 1/2 teaspoon of mint extract
• Sprinkles for garnish

What You Do:

• In a bowl, take the pudding mix and cold milk and mix together until smooth. Then add in the peppermint extract and combine well. Refrigerate for 5 to 10 minutes.
• While the pudding is chilling, take your brownies and cut them into 1 inch squares and set them aside.
• Take the pudding out of the fridge and fold in the whipped topping.
• Take the container you’re going to serve them in the start to assemble. First take a few pieces of brownie, then top that with a few tablespoons of the pudding mix and repeat that process 2 or 3 times. Top with whipped topping and sprinkles.
• Serve and enjoy!

The last treat we have is St. Patrick’s Day Muddy Buddies. I love muddy buddies and they’re always well received at parties, so this was a no brainer for me.

What You Need:

• 4 1/2 cups of Rice Chex cereal
• 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup of peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons of butter
• 1/3 cup of powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup of green M&M’s
• 1/4 cup of Lucky Charms Marshmallows
• Green food coloring

What You Do:

• Take the cereal and place it in a medium bowl and set aside.
• In a small microwave safe bowl, add the chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 1 minute. Then stir until smooth.
• Pour that mixture over the cereal and mix until evenly coated. Then place half of the cereal in a sealable bag and add the powdered sugar.
• Shake the bag until it’s well coated and spread the cereal on a baking sheet for about 15 minutes.
• Take the green food coloring and stir it into the other half until you achieve a bright green color. Then spread out on another baking sheet for about 15 minutes.
• In a bowl combine both cereal mixtures, the white chocolate, green M&M’s and Lucky Charms Marshmallows.
• Serve and enjoy!

That about wraps it up for this post, if you guys make any of these treats tweet me a picture or tag me on Instagram, because I’d love to see.

Until next time, have fun making treats and have a Happy St. Patrick’s Day :).

• 1 teaspoon of strawberry extract
• 4 ounces of softened cream cheese

The next treat we have is Pink Hot Chocolate. I love making hot chocolate from scratch like this, and it’s always a great choice during the winter months. This recipe makes 3 or 4 drinks depending on the size of your mug.

What You Need:

• 4 cups of milk. If you wanted to make this thicker and creamier then you can do 2 cups of half and half and 2 cups of milk
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

• Add the food coloring until you have the desired color.
• Pour into mugs and top with your desired toppings.
• Serve and enjoy!

The last treat we have is M&M’s Caramel Cookies. I quite like M&M’s and I saw this recipe on the back of the bag, so I thought I would try it and they’re so good.

What You Need:

• 2 sticks of softened salted butter
• 2/3 cup of brown sugar
• 2/3 cup of granulated sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

• 1 1/4 teaspoons of baking soda
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1 3/4 cups of M&M’s Caramel Chocolate Candies Cupid’s Mix (these are the red, pink and white ones)

What You Do:

• In a large bowl, add the butter and both sugars and cream until smooth. Once smooth, add the egg and vanilla extract and beat until well combined.
• In a different bowl sift the flour, baking soda and salt together. Stir this into the butter mixture.
• Then add in the M&M’s, making sure it’s well combined and refrigerate the dough for at least an hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Form the dough into rounded tablespoons and drop them on the tray 2 inches apart.
• If you want chewy cookies make them for 8-10 minutes and if you want crispy cookies bake for 12-14 minutes.
