S'mores Cookie Bars

To contact us Click HERE
Happy Super Bowl Sunday!! I hope everyone had a great party with lots of delicious food and treats!  I made these to bring to a friends super bowl party, and they were a huge hit!! How could you go wrong with all the S'mores ingredients packed into a cookie!?  Whats amazing is the graham cracker stays crispy on the bottom, and then if you cook the cookie part just right then it stays gooey, and you can really taste the marshmallow.   This is an All-American treat for an All-America day!! Enjoy!!!









S'mores Cookie Bars - Adapted from Lovintheoven.comYield: 32 SquaresIngredients:
11 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, softened
1 Cup Brown Sugar, packed

1 Cup Mini Marshmallows
3 Regular sized Hershey’s bars, broken into pieces
1-2 Packages Graham Crackers, broken into squares

Directions:
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line baking pans with parchment paper. I used one 11x17 pan and one 9x13 pan but you can really use any sized pans you want.
  2. Lay out graham crackers side by side on the pans as close as possible (they should be touching).
  3. Cream together the butter and both sugars. Add the eggs and vanilla.
  4. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips and marshmallows. 
  6. Chill dough in refrigerator for 1 hour.
  7. Place rounded tablespoons of dough on graham crackers.
  8. Bake for 5 minutes then remove from oven to press Hershey’s bar pieces on to the top. 
  9. Bake for and additional 5 – 7 more minutes or until dough is beginning to turn golden brown at the edges. 
  10. Make sure cookies are completely cool before cutting, otherwise you'll end up with a doughy mess!
  11. Enjoy!!

Valentine's Day Sweet & Salty Popcorn

To contact us Click HERE
Its almost that time of year!! Valentine's Day is right around the corner I am scrambling to post a few fun ideas.  Here is a quick and easy recipe for anyone.  Its great for kids and men!  The classic salty and sweet combination here taste great.  How could you go wrong with honey roasted peanuts, 2 types of M&Ms, 2 types of chocolate, and marshmallows all mixed in with popcorn!?  Whats great about this recipe is you can change it up for any holiday or special occasion.  Enjoy!



Sweet & Salty Popcorn - Adapted from Theyummylife.comYield: Lots!Ingredients:
8 Cups Popcorn (I use light butter)
1 Cup Honey Roasted Peanuts
1/2 Cup M&Ms Regular1/2 Cup M&Ms Peanut Butter
1/2 Cup Milk or Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
1/2 Cup White Chocolate1/2 Cup Mini Marshmallows
1 Tablespoon Canola Oil, divided
1 Teaspoon Salt
Decorating Sprinkles (red coarse sugar, pink nonpareils, or similar)
Directions:
  1. Spread popcorn on a large baking sheet that has been lined with parchment or waxed paper.
  2. Sprinkle peanuts and M&Ms evenly over top. 
  3. Combine chocolate chips with 1/2 tablespoon oil and melt in microwave. With spoon, drizzle evenly over popcorn mixture. 
  4. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Add food coloring and 1/2 tablespoon oil to white chips, melt, and drizzle over popcorn mixture. 
  5. Sprinkle with decorating red sugar and pink nonpareils. After melted drizzles harden, break into pieces and store in airtight container or sealed plastic bags.
  6. Enjoy!!

*Modify food coloring and M&M colors for any occasion: colors of sports teams or schools, green for St. Patrick's Day, red/blue for 4th of July, black/orange for Halloween, red/green for Christmas, etc. Food coloring can be omitted entirely--use plain white melted chocolate and rely on M&Ms and sprinkles to add color to the mix.

Reece's Peanut Butter Hearts

To contact us Click HERE
Valentine's Day is coming!!! Here are some homemade Reece's Peanut Butter hearts.  They are as close as it gets to the real thing.  My boyfriend loves Reece's so I made these for him.  I haven't got down the dipping or decorating yet.  Its harder then it looks dip things in chocolate, and I am not very good at it.  Out of about 20, only about 4 came out presentable.  I think using the candy melts are easier then using real chocolate,  the thinner the coating the easier to work with.  Well I am going to pick up my boyfriend from the airport today and I will surprise him with one of these.  If he likes it, then we know they are good!  Wish me luck!




Reece's Peanut Butter Cups - Adapted from Flour Me With Love
Yield: 2 dozen, depending on thickness
Ingredients:
1/4 Cup Butter
1 1/2 Cups Creamy Peanut Butter
1/8 Teaspoon Salt
4 Cups Powdered Sugar

  1. Cream together the butter, peanut butter and salt.
  2. Slowly mix in the powdered sugar until it becomes crumbly.
  3. Add the milk and mix until it starts to come together.
  4. Pour out onto a flat surface.
  5. Knead together until it forms a ball.
  6. Roll out to desired thickness.
  7. Cut out whatever shape you like; I like hearts.  Place them on a cookie sheet. 
  8. Place in freezer for about 30 minutes.  Melt the chocolate, let them cool a little bit, then start dipping and decorating.

Coney Island competitive cupcake eating contest to be held June 30th

To contact us Click HERE
This year, it's not just hot dogs that will be competitively eaten, but cupcakes as well! One June 30th, a cupcake eating contest will be held at Demo's Wonder Wheel, judged by Georgetown Cupcake owners and DC Cupcakes stars Katherine Kallinis and Sophie LaMontagne. From Brooklyn Daily:
“It’s going to be wild,” LaMontagne, co-owner of the famed cupcakery Georgetown Cupcake, told Brooklyn Daily. “We’ve never done a cupcake-eating contest before.”

Seven professional competitive eaters from All Pro Eating, the organization sanctioning the event, will square off at 5 pm on W. 12th Street to see who can scarf down more vanilla cupcakes with vanilla buttercream frosting in eight minutes, event organizers said.

LaMontagne predicted that the winner will eat around 60 treats — but even that would fall short of the record set by Pat “Deep Dish” Bertoletti, who ate a stunning 72 cupcakes in just six minutes at the Isle Waterloo World Cupcake Eating Championship in April.
And via the Georgetown Cupcake Facebook page, here's their summer flip flop cupcakes, available only by pre-order at georgetowncupcake.com - the flavors are strawberry, lemon blossom, key lime and orange blossom.

Weekend must-see: Fast Times at Ridgemont High cupcakes

To contact us Click HERE
The one and only blogger Sugar Swings! Serves Some has created a cupcake homage to the movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High, with each main character getting their own cupcake! And Van Halen tickets made out of candy melt coated graham cracker. Make sure to visit the blog for the full description and explanation of how each cupcake was made, it's worth it.

So....true confession time: I have never seen Fast Times at Ridgmont High so some of these sayings are over my head but I still adore these cupcakes. And I love the Phoebe Cates (Linda Barrett) bikini and the burger cupcake! A very impressive job and I can't wait to see what she cooks up next.Photos via Flickr.







Second Sprinkles Cupcakes' 24-hour Cupcake ATM to open in Houston

To contact us Click HERE
The Houston Chronicle reports that Houston, Texas will be getting the second 24-hour cupcake ATM from Sprinkles Cupcakes "by summer's end," following the first in Beverly Hills (and New York City is supposedly getting three, but it's unclear when that is happening). From the article:
The 24-hour Cupcake ATM, which only takes debit and credit cards, offers around a dozen flavors along with a sugarless version for dogs and can hold 600 cupcakes.

Nelson selected the store at 4014 Westheimer for the second Cupcake ATM partly because it is next to an Apple flagship store. "We thought their tech-focused customers would enjoy the technology of the machine," he said.

A video camera inside the machine lets customers watch a robotic arm grab their boxed cupcakes.

Each machine costs the company about $100,000, he said, and Sprinkles spends another $100,000 for a build-out, which includes a new facade behind the machine.

Founded seven years ago, Beverly Hills-based Sprinkles owns and operates 10 cupcake shops in the U.S. and is considered to be a pioneer cupcake bakery.

A cupcake in the store costs $3.50, and a boxed machine cupcake is $4. A boxed cupcake in the store is $5.25.
Watch a video of how the cupcake ATM works here. Find out more about Sprinkles Cupcakes at sprinkles.com and their Facebook page.

Browned Butter Vanilla Bean Shortbread

To contact us Click HERE
Delicious!


Browned Butter Vanilla Bean Shortbread - Adapted from Cooking Light
Yield: 30 squares
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, browned (see below)
1/2 cup canola oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup sugar
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise

Browned Butter
Directions from Smitten Kitchen
  1. Cut butter into four or five pieces and cook butter in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it has a nutty fragrance and flecks on bottom of pan turn a light brown, anywhere from 4 to 7 minutes. 
  2. It helps to frequently scrape the solids off the bottom of the pan in the last couple minutes to ensure even browning. Transfer butter to a bowl and chill until just firm, about 1 hour.

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Line bottom and sides of a 13 x 9–inch baking pan with foil; coat foil with cooking spray, and set aside.
  3. Weigh or lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, cornstarch, and salt in a large bowl; stir with a whisk.
  4. Place butter in a medium bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed 2 minutes or until light and fluffy (since you've altered the butter by browning it, this butter won't act the same as it would if it were just softened). 
  5. Add oil; beat with a mixer at medium speed 3 minutes or until well blended. Add extract. Gradually add sugar, beating well. Scrape seeds from vanilla bean, and add seeds to butter mixture; discard bean (better yet, put it in your extract!). 
  6. Add flour mixture, beating at low speed just until blended. Spoon dough into prepared pan. Place a sheet of heavy-duty plastic wrap over dough; press to an even thickness (I used an offset spatula instead and it worked great). Discard plastic wrap. 
  7. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. 
  8. Cool in pan 5 minutes on a wire rack; cut into 32 pieces. Carefully lift foil from pan; cool squares completely on a wire rack.
  9. Enjoy!!

Popcorn Cupcakes!

To contact us Click HERE
Well....sort of...these are actually Vanilla Cupcakes topped with MILLIONS (not quite) of tiny MARSHMALLOWS, cut and then hand-painted with food coloring to LOOK like they're covered in POPCORN!


Cute RIGHT?

I made these for a Carnival-themed Birthday Party and was really pleased with how they turned out! I found INSPIRATION at Under the Table & Dreaming by Stephanie Lynn. She gives a step-by-step tutorial if you want to try your hand at these! They are time consuming, but really easy and the effect is SO super cute! I found I didn't even need to cut the marshmallows all the way in half, and some I snipped in fours for a varied look....play around with it...that's the FUN part!


Of course...I HAD to make some coordinating Cake Pops...nothing too fancy...but sometimes SIMPLE & SWEET make a BIG statement too :) I LOVE using paper straws as sticks for the pops...it gives them some added WOW factor...don't ya think?



That's all for now folks!
Peace out ;)
