Red Velvet Treat Pops

I was so excited when I found these Wilton treat pop containers on the after Christmas clearance rack at ShopKo for 50% off!  I’d been wanting some so I could experiment with making treat pops but didn’t want to pay full price.  Last night our group was in charge of the activity for Young Women … Continue reading

Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies

Finally have a minute to post some Super Bowl food from our Super Bowl party.  I made these brownies for my son in law Jaren who loves Reeses Peanut Butter Cups and football.  This is the only one that ended up looking somewhat like a football as they were just too gooey to cut out, … Continue reading

Cinnamon Apple Cupcakes

And, finally, the last recipe from the neighborhood party last night, one last cupcake recipe.  This one comes from the inside of the Duncan Hines cake mix box but you can find it here at “Duncan Hines”.  I haven’t tried one of these and probably won’t, I will always choose chocolate over any other type … Continue reading

Peppermint Crumble Bars

And finally, the last post of Christmas goodies for this year.  These were really surprisingly good, so good in fact, that I did not take them to the neighbors as planned!  They come from a blog called “Something Swanky”. 2 cups flour 1 cup butter, softened 1/2 cup sugar 2 cups white chocolate peppermint candy, … Continue reading

Red and Green Velvet Christmas Cupcakes
