Frankencrispies

Say Hello to my new little friend!  I call him Frankencrispy....and I think he's adorable!

I saw these Frankenstein Rice Krispy Treats Pops over at Pop.O.Licious.  They had made them as pops....but when I tried to do that I had a little trouble.  Once I got the green candy melt coating on these guys they got so heavy that they pulled right off of the stick......so instead they became little hand held guys.

To make these guys you'll need:

green candy melts
black or brown jimmy sprinkles
candy eyes
black food marker

Melt the green candy sprinkles, and while still wet, dip the top of the head in the jimmies and lay on it's back on wax paper. Sprinkle a few more jimmies on the front of the head.  Add the candy eyes (to make the eyelids you'll kind of scrape the eyes into the candy coating as you're putting the eyes into place).  Let dry completely.  Once dry, use a black food marker to draw on the mouth and a scar.  Or, if you have black candy melts, you could melt those down and pipe on a mouth and scar.

Have fun with these......and remember, they're monsters....they don't have to look perfect!!

Packed up and ready to go!

Cake Batter Rice Crispy Treats

What could be simpler or more delicious than good 'ol rice crispy treats?  I may love a lot of grown-up desserts, but I could never deny my love for a homemade rice crispy treat!  I find that the store made ones (Starbucks included) have a slightly strange taste that the ones that are homemade don't have.  Maybe they use margarine instead of butter?  I dunno......but if I make a pan of these bad boys, I need to quickly get them out of the house before I find myself eating them all!

Cake batter stuff seems to be all the rage in blogland and all over Pinterest, and with good reason.......it's delicious!  I've been seeing lots of people try these Cake Batter Crispy Treats, and it seemed like they were a universal hit.  Couldn't be simpler to throw together.....and they were fantastic!

Check out How Sweet It Is for the recipe.....and Enjoy!

More Birthday Stuff

Yesterday was our 5 year old's birthday party (I still can't believe he's 5!!), but today was his actual birthday.....so today he had his big special day at preschool.  He got to bring a special board that will hang in class all week......got a birthday crown and a special badge......gets to be the line leader all week.....and we brought in cookies and treats for the kids!  What a day!

Our oldest son's favorite cookie is an Oreo.  Well.....I wasn't going to be bringing in a plate of Oreos to school.....so after some questioning......he and I agreed on a sugar cookie with sprinkles as long as they were L's!

I used the Cookie Craft recipe again.....not very exciting am I??  After chilling the dough, and then cutting out the L's....I covered them in his favorite sprinkles.  He loved them!  They were exactly what he wanted....and that makes Mommy happy!!

I also wanted to bring in something that the kiddos in his class could take home.....so I decided to make the Ice Cream Cone Rice Krispy Treats that I made a couple of months back.  I filled them cones with Hershey's kisses and covered the rice krispy treat in white melting chocolate with sprinkles.  These were great to take to class because they were easy to individually bag for the kids to take home, and they seemed to stand up well to the abuse of getting home in one piece.

So glad our little guy had a great birthday.....but phew!!  I'm so glad it's done!!

Sweet Sunday

\

The family got together on Sunday to celebrate our nephew James' 5th birthday.....Happy Birthday James! When I'm making desserts for the family I usually end up making one thing for the kiddos and another for the adults. This time was no exception....especially when I spied these adorable ice cream rice krispy treats.....what kid could resist??!!? And you get to put little goodies inside.......what a great little surprise for the kiddos! Of course of few of them couldn't wait to get to the candy inside, so they busted off the top of the cone to save for later. My little Henry had a different approach to getting to the candy......making a little hole in the bottom of the cone and trying to scoop out the M&Ms one by one.

For the adults I went with a recipe from Southern Plate......the Butterfinger Cake. A chocolate cake with caramel sauce drizzled on top and covered with Cool Whip and crushed Butterfinger bars......so simple and soooo good!
