Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day to all! So, I don't know why, because I've never had a significant other on this day of love, but I've always loved Valentine's Day :) It's such a happy day and I''m just always in such a good mood! Today was no exception :) After decorating the best sugar cookies I've ever tasted in my Family Comm class, Elese and I were very excited to start our Valentine's fun! For this amazing day we got a cupcake shaped pinata, had cheese and chocolate fondue (for the chocolate we just melted chocolate flavored almond bark in a crock pot), watched Return to Me, and spooned 2 of the best men in the world, Ben & Jerry ;) It was a freaking fantastic day, the best Valentine's day I've had ever, and I'm so glad that I could spend it with Elese and Chaliece :) 

And then Elese and I tend to get a little crazy with the ice-cream... Enjoy our trying to be seductive pictures :)

Doughnuts 'n Cake Bites

Christmas break = Delicious treats 'err day :) Thank you Beyond Glaze and The Sweet Tooth Fairy!

Pretzel Time

Tis the season to be Jolly! And fat :) As usual, for my Christmas presents I make my good friends, I made chocolate covered pretzels. Usually I just dip them in semi-sweet chocolate, then drizzle some white chocolate over them, but this time I decided to be fancy! I got some white and milk chocolate flavored almond bark (which is so much nice to melt than using chocolate chips), the crushed up oreos and candy canes! The candy canes I sprinkled over the white chocolate pretzels and the oreos I did over the milk chocolate. They were a sweet success! Merry Christmas my friends!

Doughnuts

So when your boyfriend goes to the DI and comes back with a cute 'lil doughnut maker, of course you have to try it out :)

Muddy Buddies

Must be General Conference time! Tis a tradition to indulge in this delicious and easy to make treat :) 

9 cups Rice Chex, Corn Chex, or Chocolate Chex cereal

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1/4 cup butter

1 tsp vanilla

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Into a large bowl, measure cereal, set aside

In microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter uncovered on high for 1 minute; stir. Microwave about 30 seconds longer or until mixture can be stirred smooth. Stir in vanilla. Pour mixture over cereal, stirring until evenly coated (this is the best part! Using your hands is the best way to mix the chocolate mix and cereal together :) ). Pour into two gallon resealable food storage plastic bags.

Add powdered sugar. Seal bag; shake until well coated. Coat the bowl used to cover the cereal with the chocolate mixture with a little powdered sugar and pour the coated cereal back into the bowl.

Careful though, this stuff is very addicting ;) Enjoy!

Super Sweet Sugar Study Day

Dum, duh, dum, dum, duuuuuuuuum!!! It's finals week next week!!! Aaaa!! Time to crack down and start the legit studying! Now, SUU being awesome, the school gives us the Friday before finals week off so that we can study our little hearts out. But who can really be that focused without any help? No one! At least Kiersten and I can't ;P So we need a little sugary assistance. We did this last semester and loved it, so we decided to do it again. Basically, we make as much treats as we want and eat them all throughout the day, killing our bodies, and enriching our minds with course material. It's a stupid thing we do, yes, but will we continue doing it? Of course ;)

 This S.S.S.S.D. I made these and these. Both were extremely rich and extremely delicious. You ate one and you NEEDED to be done, but you couldn't help but eat more ;) Kiersten made some other treats and we had the best chocolate covered ice-cream cones. Overall, we had enough to feed the whole building. But it was just the two of us ;)

Cream Puffs

Cream Puffs are divine, am I right? Of course ;) Homemade Cream Puffs though? They should be sin. I could eat a billion of these. Sadly, I don't have the recipe yet... But I will very soon! Fear not :)

Homemade Butterfingers

Meet my real life anime friend. Her eyes are huge and gorgeous, but that's not what we're here to talk about! What is she holding? Any guesses? Butterfingers. But not ones you can buy at the store. Homemade. How many ingredients? 3. Think I'm lying? I'm not. Go here, make them, eat them, die of happiness.

Homemade Popcorn

Want delicious, easy to make, buttery, salty, homemade popcorn goodness? Then make this. One bite of this and you'll never want microwave popcorn again. 

Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy.

We're in college. We're hungry. We're bored. What do we do? Make Chocolate Cover Pretzels :) Kinda self explanatory, yes?
