Twix Cupcakes

Over the weekend I had the chance to bake a new recipe.  I settled on Twix Cupcakes, because lets face it Twix are the bomb.dot.com.

Next time around I would make a few tweaks to the recipe but other than that they were delicious!

Cookie Dough Dip

Krista was in charge of dessert for their Easter celebration with Mike's family.

She decided to make Cookie Dough Dip. I was lucky enough to get a sample. It was delicious!
Best when served with graham crackers, both honey and chocolate.

Happy Birthday Krista!

This pretty little lady turned 27 yesterday! Happy Birthday to you, Krista Marie!

I put together a little picture collage from the past year. I thought it was lovely.


I also may have went a little overboard with all the treats I made...whoops! However, with Pinterest, I couldn't help myself.

Two of Krista's favorite things are dark chocolate and peanut butter. All of the dessert I made, included both.

These mini Reese's peanut butter cups are dangerous. I envision lots of recipes that could use these bad boys.

Chocolate Cookies with Reese's Peanut Butter Cups

Another one of Krista's favorite combinations, salty-sweet.



Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies with Sea Salt

Surprisingly, this was Krista's favorite dessert. She is not much of a cake person preferring cookies or brownies. These cupcakes must have been good!

Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting

Although it looks like a cake ball it is not. Its more of a Special K bar rolled up and dipped is dark chocolate.

And a birthday wouldn't be complete without the Duffey's singing a lovely rendition of Happy Birthday. Make a wish Krista! Here's to hoping year 27 is filled with lots of joy and blessings. Love you sister!

S'mores Cupcakes

Two of my aunts celebrated their birthdays on Wednesday. I wanted to try something different and unique. I settled on S'mores Cupcakes.

They were a hit! I loved the fact I got to "brown" the frosting.

2013, say what??

Well an entire year (plus some) came and went without any blog posts. Lots has happened since we last posted. You have been warned - picture overload!

First this happened. We welcomed our new niece, Ella, to the world. She is really the main problem, because lets face it, we love this little girly. And she is spoiled rotten and takes up all of our free time.

We love her even when she cries
