Peppermint Pie Pops


Yum.  Peppermint Pie Pops!


There are probably some things I shouldn't admit.  This is one of them.

I still have Andes Peppermint Crunch Baking Chips in my pantry.  Yes.  They are only available during the holidays.  I am kind of a hoarder when it comes to baking goodies!  It's a problem I know...


Anyway, I thought they would make some yummy Pie Pops using my babycakes Pie Pop Maker.

If you want to know more about making Pie Pops with babycakes Pie Pop Maker, check out my post here!

After I made the pie pops and they cooled, I melted a few extra peppermint chips and dipped the tops of the pie pops in them!  Yummy!


Happy baking!

Chocolate Covered Marshmallow Hearts


My kids both love marshmallows.  So when I saw heart shaped marshmallows at the store the other day, I knew my kids would go crazy for them!

They will eat the marshmallows plain, but I wanted to make them a bit more delicious so I dipped them in chocolate!


Yum.  Yum.  Super Yum.


See my tips and tricks for melting chocolate here.

Chocolate Cherry Bark


Chocolate Bark is one of the most simple treats to make and it is oh-so-yummy!

Last Valentine's Day I made Red Hot Bark and last month I made Oreo Bark.  So when I saw a recipe here for Chocolate Cherry Bark I knew it would be amazing!!

And I was right!  It is amazing!

If you love the combination of chocolate and cherries (Cherry Garcia ice cream for example :) You will definitely love this combo!

  • 1/4 tsp Wilton's Artificial Cherry Candy Flavoring (this is oil based, don't use extract or your chocolate will seize)
