Biscoff Cream Eggs

March 25, 2013 65 Comments

Easy Easter eggs truffles made with that delicious Biscoff spread in the middle.  These Biscoff Cream Eggs are the perfect extra homemade goodie that your family will love this year.

Biscoff Cream Eggs, Biscoff spread

For the past few years I have been making these Peanut Butter eggs/rabbits at Easter for my kids to enjoy.  My oldest son absolutely devours them each and every time.  This year he told me he wanted his birthday cake to be made completely from this filling.  I think he is on to something :-)

Biscoff Cream Eggs, Biscoff

 We made a batch of Peanut Butter Cream eggs this weekend, but it got me thinking.  There are so many people with nut allergies that can’t enjoy these delicious eggs.  Now this isn’t rocket science and it’s probably been done a thousand times, so just humor me.  I substituted Biscoff spread for the peanut butter!!!

Oh my word!!!!  The dough itself was addicting…yes, I may have had my fair share of little pieces.  But when you dip the eggs in white chocolate, it is like true magic.  White chocolate and Biscoff just belong together!!!

Biscoff Cream Eggs, Biscoff

Let’s get started making some eggs.  First mix all your ingredients into a dough.  Then divide that yummy dough into 12 balls.  If you are anything like me, you will have trouble not eating one or two of those balls.  Shape them into an egg shape and flatten slightly.

Now here is the part of the recipe that I don’t like.  You have to refrigerate the dough!  Boo!  That means I have to exercise patience before I can dip the eggs.   You could dip them early, but I really don’t recommend it.  Freezing the dough just helps it keep its shape better when you start pouring hot melted chocolate over the top.

Biscoff Cream Eggs, Biscoff
After about 30 minutes in the freezer, we are ready to dip.  Melt the vanilla CandiQuik according to the package and give it a stir.  I like to use a fork to drop the egg into the chocolate.  Then you use a spoon to cover the tops of the eggs.  Do not let them sit in the hot chocolate for very long.  We don’t want runny eggs getting in the chocolate…although melty Biscoff chocolate would be kind of nice to dip apples in :-)

Biscoff Cream Eggs, Biscoff

 Remove the eggs and place on a wax paper lined tray and go to town with some sprinkles.  I used two different kinds just for some more fun.  It made them look so pretty!!!

What are you waiting for?  You can be enjoying Biscoff eggs in less than an hour!  I’m feeling the itch to make a few more batches!

Party Peeps Eclair Cake Cups

March 19, 2013 115 Comments

How do you eat your marshmallow Peeps?  Can I confess to you that I like to eat them stale, but I also like them sitting on top of  Party Peeps Eclair Cake Cups.

Party_Peeps_Eclair_Cake_Cups, Eclair Cake, Cool Whip, Peeps

Easter is only a week and a half away.  Have you started to think about what desserts you will be serving?   One of my all time favorite Easter treats are marshmallow Peeps, so I knew I want to incorporate these fun sugar coated marshmallows into a fun dessert that my kids would gobble up.

Party_Peeps

My mom used to put them in our Easter basket every single year.  The on thing that she always did was to open the package and divide them  up between our baskets.  Now you know the problem this presents right?  Easter grass was always stuck on the Peeps.

The other problem with open Peeps?  They get stale.  Now trust me…that is NOT a problem.  Peeps are the best once they get stale.  (I have been known to open a package of Peeps and then shove them in the back of the cupboard for a month.)  Best thing ever!!!!

Party_Peeps_Eclair_Cake_Cups, Eclair Cake, Cool Whip, Peeps

When I was at Walmart a few weeks ago, I noticed they had a few new Peep flavors to choose from.  I saw these bright blue chicks and I was smitten.  They are party flavored Peeps and they have some fun glittery sugar colors sprinkled on them.  I brought them home and there they sat until the day I decided to make some pudding cups.  But not just any pudding cups…these are a fun variation of Eclair Cake pudding cups.

Hello, Party Peeps Eclair Cake Cups!  Say that 10x fast!!!

Party_Peeps_Eclair_Cake_Cups, Eclair Cake, Cool Whip, Peeps

I added a whole cup of party chip dry cake mix into my pudding and whisked away.  I wasn’t sure how adding cake mix to pudding was going to turn out, so I had to take a big bite…for product review :-)

The pudding tastes just like cake batter!!!  You know you all lick your bowls clean when you make cake too.  The best part of this pudding…you don’t have to worry about those pesky eggs!

Party_Peeps_Eclair_Cake_Cups, Eclair Cake, Cool Whip, Peeps

Look at all the layers in these pudding cups.  I layered graham cracker crumbs with the cake batter pudding (look at the fun sprinkles in there!) and ended with a chocolate icing topping.  The marshmallow Peep got a bed of Cool Whip to sit as the topping.  Don’t you just want to dive right into these cups???

Looking for a fun and different Easter dessert recipe?  This Carrot Cake Fudge has a Carrot Cake layer, a cream cheese frosting layer, and Carrot Cake M&M’s.

Carrot_Cake_Fudge, Carrot Cake M&M's

 When I start on a flavor, I tend to run it into the ground.  Carrot Cake is my choice of flavor right now.  On Sunday I shared these Carrot Cake Magic Bars, today it is fudge, and I still have one more recipe in the works.  I will wait until next week to share that one.  There were a few other ideas I thought about making, but I will add those to my list for next year.

Carrot Cake Magic Bars

March 3, 2013 81 Comments

Do you like Carrot Cake?    These Carrot Cake Magic Bars are a quick and easy treat to serve after Easter dinner.

Carrot Cake Magic Bars

The other day I was shopping at Walmart, and I came across this season’s newest M&M flavor.  They created a white chocolate carrot cake M&M.  Now you either are an A person who decided immediately that it sounds nasty, or you are a B person who is intrigued and want to give it a try.  I am usually a B person with most new flavors, unless they are sour.  Sour candy gives me the heebie geebies!  Just can’t do it!!!  Anyway, I instagrammed a picture asking opinions on this new flavor, and sure enough, the results were about half and half on whether you guys would try these too.  Of course being a B person, I brought them home with me.   [Read more...]

Easter Recipe Roundup

April 6, 2012 10 Comments

Can you believe Easter is two days away?

It seems like just yesterday I was freezing cold in January
and not enjoying the winter. (as always)
Oh wait, that cold weather came back in the last day or two.
Thank goodness for the sunshine to trick me into thinking it is 80* outside.
This week we were busy beavers.
Lots of fun, lots of normal day to day, and some baking.
1. My sister and her family were here over last weekend.
It was fun to catch up with them and see the cousins playing together.
2. We put canned lights in our kitchen…
okay, I just watched while my husband actually put the lights in.
I cleaned up all the insulation
that fell out as he wiggled his arms through all the holes.
Totally means I helped put them in too:-)
3. I ordered some fun foodie/bloggy picture taking stuff
from Shop Sweet Lulu…you should check it out.
Who doesn’t like getting cute and fun packages in the mail?
4. We took a road trip to Indy yesterday,
and decided to check out Jersey Cafe for lunch.
It was one of the diners that Guy Fieri featured on Food Network.
My sandwich was yummy until…
halfway through when I saw a dark hair on the other end.
That did it for me!!!
Thank goodness I started at the other end to eat.
They were gracious enough to remove the item from my bill.
Not sure if we would go back.
For being featured on Food Network, it was just so so!!!
5. Do you know what fun treats
you will be making this weekend for Easter?
I thought it would be fun to revisit some old posts from the past few years,
plus a few from this year that are good spring desserts.
See anything you like in this Easter Recipe Roundup?
Now if I can only decide on what cake
I want to make for my birthday this weekend…
Any ideas???

Peanut Butter Easter Chicks

April 2, 2012 23 Comments

Easter is kind of sneaking up on me this year.

Peanut Butter Easter Chicks, peanut butter eggs

The boxes in the basement labeled Easter…
are still in there.
I have a feeling they will end up staying there this year.
Too much going on in the house right now.
I better at least dig the baskets out:-)
Peanut Butter Easter Chicks, peanut butter eggs
A couple weeks ago I was leaving Walmart
and saw a poster advertising the movie Hop.
Our kids are deprived because we wouldn’t take them last year to see it.
We don’t mind watching silly movies,
it is just paying an arm and a leg to see them that I mind.
So we told them when it comes to redbox we could rent it.
$1 for silly movies is much more doable!!!
Anyway, on the poster was an egg shaped chick
wearing bunny ears!!!
My sister actually pointed it out to me
and said that I should make something like that this year.
Fast forward 2 1/2 weeks and I finally made them.
Let’s just say, they ALMOST didn’t happen.
I blame it on trying to do these after 11 p.m.
pb bunny collage
The peanut butter filling worked perfectly.
The marshmallow ears were super easy to do.
It was the chocolate coating that gave me grief!!!
(It isn’t good to hurry when working with chocolate.)
 
I heated it up too much and then
the chocolate was clumpy and just wouldn’t smooth out,
even with shortening added. GGGRRRR!!!!
Finally I gave up on that batch and tossed it before getting too mad.
I still had a bag of Candiquik white chocolate in the cupboard.
This time I got smarter and heated it up slowly over low heat.
Then I added some shortening and wilton gel color,
and was able to cover the peanut butter eggs.
Then for all the fun details.
Peanut Butter Easter Chicks, peanut butter eggs
But really the best part of these chicks
is cutting into them and gobbling them down!!!
With the peanut butter filling I made 2 chicks.
They are about 4 1/2 inches tall, 3 inches wide, and 1 3/4 inches thick…
I don’t recommend eating a whole chick in one sitting!
Spread out the Peanut Butter Easter Chicks wealth!!!
In fact, I would recommend saving one for yourself/family
and then packing the other one up for someone special.
Peanut Butter Easter Chicks, peanut butter eggs
These are the perfect little gifts.
Put one chick in a plastic treat bag.
Top it with a doily that is accented with a sticker,
and put it into a grass lined easter basket from the $ Tree.
(I got the clear treat bags and small doilies from Michaels)
(the googly eyes came from there too)

Peanut Butter Easter Chicks

Prep Time: 1 hour

Yield: 2 large eggs

Peanut Butter Easter Chicks

Peanut Butter eggs decorated to look like a chick with bunny ears

Ingredients

6 tbsp. salted butter, softened
1/2 c. peanut butter
1/4 c. marshmallow cream
2 c. powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 package vanilla candiquik, melted
2 tsp. shortening
yellow gel food coloring
1/4 c. orange candy melts
2 large marshmallows
pink sprinkles
8 mini twist pretzels
4 googly eyes
2 mini marshmallows

Instructions

  1. In mixing bowl, cream butter, vanilla, peanut butter, and marshmallow cream until light and fluffy. Slowly beat in the sugar. Shape into 2 large eggs. Place on wax paper and refrigerate.
  2. Melt orange candy melts in microwave for 30 seconds. Stir until smooth. Dip 4 pretzels in the orange chocolate. Use a fork to place on wax paper to set up. Scoop the rest of the orange chocolate into a plastic baggie. Cut the end off and carefully pipe 2 orange triangles for beaks. Set the pretzels and beaks aside.
  3. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the vanilla candiquik. Stir until smooth. Stir in shortening and yellow gel color. Add the gel color slowly until you get the shade of yellow that you like. Pour the melted chocolate into a shallow bowl. Place one peanut butter egg into the chocolate and spoon the chocolate over the top until coated. Using a small spatula, remove the peanut butter egg and tap off the excess chocolate. Place on wax paper lined plate. Refrigerate until set. Dip 4 pretzels in the yellow chocolate and let set. Place a spoonful of yellow chocolate into a plastic bag and cut the tip off. Pipe a small patch of yellow hair.
  4. While the chocolate is setting, cut the marshmallow in half diagonally and dip the sticky edge into pink sprinkles. Place 2 orange pretzels side by side. Add a dab of yellow chocolate on the bottom of the egg and stand it up on the pretzels. Use a toothpick to add chocolate to the backs of the googly eyes and place on chicks face. Do the same for the beak. Dip the bottoms of the marshmallow ears in the yellow chocolate and set on top of the egg. Hold in place for a few seconds so they don’t slide off. Dip the end of the patch of yellow hair into the yellow chocolate and put in between the ears. Cut 2 small pieces off the mini marshmallows and add to the sides of the chick so it looks like a headband. Dip the edges of the yellow pretzels in the yellow chocolate and hold on the sides of the egg for a few seconds. Keep refrigerated if you aren’t going to eat within a day or two.

Oreo Coconut Gooey Cake Bars

March 23, 2012 28 Comments

I have something super duper yummy for you today.

Do you like coconut?
I sure hope so, because these Oreo Coconut Gooey  Cake Bars are all about the white stuff!
And if you don’t, just send your piece on over…
I have a serious coconut addiction going on over here:-)
Oreo Coconut Gooey Cake Bars, coconut M&M's, gooey cake bars, Oreo cookies
 
The gooey butter cake has been around for quite a while,
but can you believe that I have never tried one.
As in, never eaten one or made one.
That all changed earlier this week.
I baked one before the kitchen was demolished and then…
it happened.
One just jumped right into my mouth while I was taking pictures.
And the unthinkable…a second just might have joined the first.
I like to call it research instead of cheating on my diet.
The extra mile I had to run was totally worth it that day:-)
Can you blame me?
Look how scrumptious those bars look.
After all they had oreos and coconut all baked into them.
I just couldn’t resist two of my favorite flavors all in one yummy bar.
Oreo Coconut Gooey Cake Bars, coconut M&M's, Oreo cookies, gooey cake bars
First I added Oreo cookie chunks to the cake dough. Yum!!!
Oreo gooey cake bars - crust
Then it got even better with a topping of coconut and condensed milk.
Is it bad that I wanted to eat it by the spoonfuls???
Oreo Gooey Cake Bars - coconut
And then my fav m&m in easter colors got sprinkled on top!
Don’t ask where the leftover ones are…
I have no idea:-)
Oreo Gooey Cake Bars - m&ms
These bars had to leave my house right away!
I’m pretty sure I would have cheated on the diet again…
and again…
and probably again!!!
And I don’t think my legs would appreciate all the running
they would have to do to work it all off.

I double dog dare you to make these this weekend!
For research that is;-)

Peanut Butter Easter Bunnies and Eggs

April 19, 2011 31 Comments

Why is it that as a kid
things seem so much larger than what they really are?

My husband just cracks up
when I talk about the chocolate bunnies
we used to get in our Easter baskets.

I swear they were 2 feet tall and solid chocolate!!!!

He just laughs at me and says,
“Do you realize how much one like that would cost?”
“There is no way your parents bought 5 of those!”

I don’t care how silly I sound…
I still say they were that big:-)
and I always ate them ears first!!!!
They pretty much lasted a good month or more!

This time of year also brings back
great memories of going to my grandparent’s house
for our annual Saturday egg hunt.
The best part was the huge peanut butter eggs
that had our name on them!!!
(they were at least a pound each;-)

They were the absolute best!
I am not sure where they got them…
but they were delicious!

I found this homemade peanut butter egg
recipe in an old Quick Cooking annual recipe book…
and it intrigued me so much that I had to try it.

GUESS WHAT?
It totally reminds me of the huge eggs
that had our names on them.
You know where I am going with this right?
Yup my kids are getting huge peanut butter eggs
with their names on them.
I think it is a great tradition to start up!

I adapted the recipe just slightly and
decided to fill an old bunny candy mold
that I had from when I was little….
but you could totally shape it into eggs
and dip those too.
(some time this week I am making those big eggs)

Easter Popcorn Crunch and Munch!

April 12, 2011 12 Comments
So the other day I was shopping at Target…
is there any better place to be shopping?
Given all the stores in my area,
Target is almost always the first place
to start for some shopping magic.I’ve said it before…
and I still stand by it…
I think there is magic time dust in the air there.
Because it is like time stands still for me…
of course then I leave and realize that 4 hours have passed,
and I don’t have time to go to any other stores:-)

I was wandering in the Easter candy aisle
and I came upon what I thought would be a yummy little treat.
Have you seen the Peepsters???
They say dark chocolate covered marshmallow creme…
apparently I was in lala land and missed the word “creme”.
I picked up a bag of them envisioning
yummy chocolate covered marshmallow peeps…
my bubble got popped as soon as I ate one.
They weren’t horrible…
just not what I was expecting.

So I decided to raid my cupboards and use them
up in some sort of popcorn munch…
because everything becomes better
when covered in more chocolate.

Can I get an amen on that? :-)

One one my shopping ventures where I skipped Target…
it is the only way I can get to other stores:-)…
I found big bags of sixlets at the $ Store.
These are like a blast from my past.
I actually remember buying these
at a small Five and Dime store when I was way younger.
Does anyone else remember .5 and .10 stores?
I know I’m not that old.
But it was a blast as a kid to be able to buy lots of candy
for little money…
because little money is what I always had!

Anyway, back to the munch mix…
