Move over Easter Bunny, I’m taking over the candy gig this year! — The absolute best part of the spring season, other than the actual daylight after noon that we finally get, is the candy. Y’all know what I’m talking about. It’s those bags of malted milk candy shell eggs that pull me into the…

Blueberry White Chocolate Ganache Truffles
You’ve all glued yourself to those chocolate shop windows with the gorgeous filled truffles, right? You know what I’m talking about… When the shop owner bangs on the window because your face is pressed up against the glass and you’re drooling all of the outside. One of those places. Turns out, they aren’t as hard…
Naan Baked Ice Cream Cones
December is here and I’m officially in holiday mode. Fa la la la laaaaa! — Bring on the flashing lights, excessive eating, the road rage when there is a bit of snow in the air and people forget how to drive, the ice cream! Wait… what? Ya. You heard me. The ice cream! One of…
Maple Pecan Brittle
Stacks and stacks of crunchy caramelized sugar, packed full of pecans, walnuts, cherries, apple bits, all glazed with maple syrup and cinnamon. I’m pretty sure that I could just drop the blogger mic and be done. Brittle is one of those things that I think about all year long, but really only usually enjoy during…
Chocolate Mallow Cups
Candy is dandy, but… well… candy is just dandy. Everyone loves a handheld sweet treat or two during their day. Some of the most nostalgic sweets are the ones coated in chocolate, filled with everything that dreams are made of. For me, that’s good ol’ marshmallow fluff.
German Roasted Candied Pecans
Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! Chag Sameach! FROHE WEIHNACHTEN! [I feel like German should always be screamed, ja?] — Also, keep reading for my pre-Thanksgiving Christmas content disclosure. Hopefully y’all know what these beauties are just by seeing that cone. I was walking around the touristy Opry mall this past weekend here in Nashville, and hit the wall-o-roasted-German-nuts smell…
Caramel Apple Pops
I can remember being in middle school (just a few years ago, ya know…), back when they used to allow kids to buy Pop Tarts as lunch items, have assemblies to show a yo-yo performer that wanted to sell you the world’s best yo-yo (Yes, I bought two.), and candy was sold for a quarter…
Pineapple Chili’d Ginger Cream Pops
Summer loving’, had me a blaaaaast. Summer lovin’, happened so faaaaast. Made some ‘sicles, cute as can be! Summer. Popsicles. ‘Nough said! — Pineapple Chili’d Ginger Pops for a summer chill and twist. These ain’t yo’ momma’s pops.
Monster Peep Cookies
So, Easter is now over and you (may) have piles of candy left. Let’s be honest… you probably don’t. But, imagine that you do. Maybe a few extra Homemade Peeps that you made last week after our post? If, like me, you have zero candy left (and only an upset stomach left to show),…
Lemon Drop Candies
“They’re a kind of Muggle sweet I’m rather fond of.” – Albus Dumbledore. When life gives you lemons (I’m talking to you, Yolanda)… you mix them with vodka, or make candy out of them! For this post, we will focus on the candy. We’ll save the drinks for another day, when some most of us have…
