Leprechaun Beard Cookie Pops

What's better then yummy adorable food? Food you can play with! As you guys know, most of the treats I make are geared towards holidays, celebrations, and kiddos. I love making treats that the kiddos light up just a bit while they get to enjoy (not that I've even seen a child deny or not enjoy a cookie). Every once in awhile, it's ok to play with your food! I was inspired to make these ... [ read more... ]

Almond Joy Cupcakes

Hey guys! Today I'm back with another candy bar cupcake, Almond Joy®! After posting the Butterfinger® cupcakes last week this was by far the most requested candy bar. I was pretty shocked, I didn't think Almond Joy® was quiet so popular! So last week I set out to recreate the same flavors in the candy bar. I have to admit, you guys were right... they came out fantastic! It does take a bit extra ... [ read more... ]
