Centerpiece "Patriotic S'more Pops"
Megan my daughter made these patriotic s'more pops for a 4th of July treat.
The pops are not your typical pops. They are made out of gram crackers,
marshmallows and chocolate.
Whoever came up with this combination certainly hit upon a yummy treat.
The s'more pops are made like rice krispie treats, so easy.
S'more Pops
6 tbsp. butter
6 cups small marshmallows
3 cups crushed cups gram cracker crumbs
1 1/4 cup chocolate chips
2 tsp. shortening
White candy melt
Food Coloring
In a heavy saucepan melt butter and marshmallows. Place gram cracker crumbs in a bowl and pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the crumbs. Stir until well mixed. Butter your hands and roll mixture into balls. Place on wax paper. Push skewers or chop sticks up through the balls.
Melt chocolate chips and shortening in a double boiler. We prefer to use chop sticks. Dip the gram cracker balls into the chocolate, gently shake excess chocolate off balls and place sticks in a bowl of rice or styrofoam until chocolate is set.
Melt candy melt with 1 tsp. shortening (more if the candy melt is too thick). Divide candy melt into three bowls and stir in food coloring (red, white and blue) until well incorporated. Place candy melt in squeeze bottles and decorate the s'more balls. Let set.
Hot glue bows on the sticks for an added festive look. If you use chop sticks you can wrap the sticks in ribbon. See the picture below.

When I was growing up my mother made chocolate cake with divinity frosting every Sunday.
It was a tradition and one I loved.

1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. soda
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup oil
2 tsp. vanilla
1 cup boiling water
1 3/4 cup flour]
3/4 cup cocoa
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. soda
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup oil
2 tsp. vanilla
1 cup boiling water
Grease 13"x9" cake pan. Combine dry ingredients in large bowl. Add eggs, milk, oil and vanilla. Beat for 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water (batter will be thin). Pour batter into cake pan. Bake 30-35 minutes or until tooth pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool and frost cake.
Divinity Frosting

Froggy Cake Pops
Megan's Corner
So the rice krispie treat cake from my last post was originally supposed to be a fun display for these little diddies, but I loved how it looked with the cupcakes so I had to come up with a new idea for these cake pops. We were at my Mother-in-law's house and she had these candy jars on her cupboard and I just love how the cake pops look in them! These cake pops weren't quite how I imagined them but they were a huge hit. First, I wanted my little frogs to be bright green so I bought a bag of the dark green candy melt and a bag of yellow candy melt. I started by melting the whole bag of green with half a bag of yellow, but then after adding the whole bag of yellow it still wasn't bright enough. I wish I had started with yellow and slowly added green. Secondly, I pictured the frogs having really cute faces. As you can see, they all have tongues (cut up pieces of red vines) which I stuck in after I dipped the frogs, but they do not have mouths. So unfortunate. I went and bought a few different kinds of edible pens and was so excited to try them out, but here's a nice tip - EDIBLE PENS DON'T WORK ON CAKE POPS. Do not be fooled. Many people claimed that they used edible pens to draw on cake pops, but they do not work...it ruins the pens. I googled it in my frustration and found that I am not the only person with this dilemma. I didn't have time to come up with alternative mouths (I could have just piped them on with melted chocolate) so these frogs remain expressionless.

Cookie Dough Pops...
Megan's Creations
I know that cake pops are all the rage right
now, but have you tried cookie dough pops? Um, to die for! I teach the 10-year-old kids at church and every sunday I pass out a bag of cookies with their assignment for the next week attached to it. It has since become a fun goal for me to never do the same cookie twice, so I am always looking for new recipes. When I came across these cookie dough balls, I just had to try them, and they were well worth it. The recipe doesn't have eggs so it's safe to eat, which my 11-month old greatly appreciates. :). So to join in the soon to be "cookie pop" craze, you will need the following:
1 cup butter, room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/ 3 cup milk
2 1/2 cups flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup mini chocolate chips
If you are an avid or even amateur cookie maker you probably already know the drill - Cream together butter and both sugars in a bowl. Add milk and vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. Add to butter and sugar mixture until incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips.
Using a cookie dough scoop, measure out cookie dough and roll into balls. Place cookie dough balls on lined cookie sheet. YOU DO NOT BAKE THESE COOKIES!
Now at this point you can stick them in the freezer and be done OR if you want to add to the calorie intake, you can stick them in your fridge for an hour and then dip them in melted chocolate. WHich is exactly what I did. You have two options here. You can just dip the balls as they are, or you can stick lollipop sticks in them and make them into "pops". I did both and prefer the way the pops turn out, but they taste the same either way!

Once there was a Snowman...
From Megan's Kitchen
Dear Winter, I love you, but I’ve had enough,
Of this fluffy, white, swirly, wet, icy stuff.
It’s Anchorage so I get it, you’re just doing your job,
But you’re doing it so well, you’re becoming a snob.
Already three times the snow as last year!
And still more to come is the news that I hear.
That’s crazy, absurd and just down right rude,
Your slowly weighing down my Christmas-time mood.
Now I’m not a Grinch (though my husband might debate),
But I have my limits so let’s get this straight.
Outside you may have all rights to roam,
But don't think I don't see you sneaking into my home!
Ladies, it's time to make some snowmen cupcakes! I've been wanting to make snowmen for a little while but I hesitated because I didn't know if they would hold together when I dipped them. So first I decided NOT to make them out of cake pops. Instead, I took a packaged of Nutter Butters and 8 oz. of cream cheese and threw them in my mixer (be careful...the cookies might revolt and jump out of the mixer to attack you!). I let my mixer run until there were no more chunks.
Then I started rolling the balls for my snowmen.
I mounted them on toothpicks just so it took up less space in my fridge.
Refrigerate them for a couple of hours (or over night) and then transfer them to a skewer...you can actually put them on the skewer in the first place but I found it easier once the balls were harder. Cut a piece off a tootsie roll and roll it into a hat. Stick it on the end of the skewer. This will also help keep your snowman in place when you dip him.
Melt candy melt in a small deep cup or bowl. Dunk the snowman in covering him all the way to the skewer.
Pull him out and tap your wrist while spinning him to get the excess candy melt off.
Immediately decorate him while he is still wet. I used a chocolate covered sunflower seed for his nose, sprinkles for his buttons and I cut pretzels for his arms.
Once he has dried you can finish decorating him. Melt some chocolate chips in a small measuring cup and dip his hat in. Then put that melted chocolate in a squeeze bottle and pipe a brim around his hat. I used black decorating gel for his eyes and mouth but you can also you an edible pen. I used tube frosted to make his scarf. Cut the skewer down, stick him in your favorite cupcake or leave him as is and you are done!

Haunted Pumpkin Patch
Megan Jesclard
I had been talking to my cousin right before Halloween and saying how disappointed I was that I hadn't gotten into the holiday like I usually do....so to remedy that we decided to have a Halloween themed dinner. This is my haunted pumpkin patch: I made the pumpkins out of cake balls and the mummy's are cake pops. The hay stacks are just peanut butter rice krispy treats.
This festive treat can be made for a party or for a fun after school snack. It is made out of cake balls, cake pops, and peanut butter rice krispie treats (regular rice krispie treats would be fine too!).
Cake Balls and Pops:
1 box chocolate cake mix (or cake mix of your choice)
1 can cream cheese frosting
White, orange and green candy melt
Sucker sticks
Green ball sprinkles (for mummy eyes)
Green tic tacs (for pumpkin stems)
Make cake according to package directions. Let cake cool. Mash the cake with ¾ can of frosting. Roll the dough into balls and refrigerate for a couple of hours (you can freeze them but never for more than 15 minutes). Melt the candy melt according to package directions.
For the Pops (Mummies):
Dip the end of each stick in the candy melt and stick half way through cake pop ball. Return pops to fridge or freezer and only pull out a few at a time as you dip them. Dip cake ball in melted candy melt making sure that it is completely covered. Shake off excess candy melt and put cake pops back in fridge as you dip them. After you have dipped all the pops, decorate them. Put melted candy melt in a squeeze bottle (found in your local grocery store) to make the mummy wrappings and attach the eyes.
For the Balls (Pumpkins):
Drop a ball into a bowl or cup of candy melt making sure that it is completely covered. Scoop it out with a spoon and tap the spoon on the edge of the dish to get rid of excess candy melt. Drop ball onto wax paper and immediately stick in the tic tac stem before the candy melt hardens.
For the Rice Krispie Treats (Hay Stacks):
2 cups sugar
2 cups light corn syrup
2 cups peanut butter
12 cups rice krispies
In a sauce pan over medium heat, combine the sugar and corn syrup and bring to a rolling boil. Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter. Mix in the rice krispies until evenly coated. Press into a buttered 9x13 pan. This is double a normal recipe and makes a lot of hay stacks! If you don't want so many, do a single recipe and press it into an 8x8 pan so that your haystacks are still thick. they will not hold the mummy cake pops unless they are thick and sturdy.
Arrange your haystacks on a platter and scatter with pumpkins. Stick the mummies in last making sure to push them down far enough so they don't fall over. Enjoy!!
I also contributed these little mummy wraps...they were cooler but I had thrown the worms on right before we left the house and the mummy's were still a little warm, so by the time we got there the mummy's were covered in puddles of goo...lovely. One is filled with PB&J and the other is filled with cheese and pepperoni. I have a bread braid addiction lately. Turns out you can fill them with pretty much anything and they are delicious!(The recipe can be found under main dishes and is called bread braids.)
Frieda made some awesome meatloaf mummy's I don't know how I didn't get more pictures of everything but the spread was impressive...and we had a great time.
