You might recall that not too long ago I posted about the Pepperidge Farm “Puffection” Holiday Entertaining Challenge. Now for the second part of the challenge: my own “Puffection” creation using Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry. Golden, caramelized sugar coats these puff pastry palmiers. Enjoy them plain, with cinnamon and sugar, or dipped in chocolate for a special holiday treat.
When Pepperidge Farm contacted me about the “Puffection” Holiday Entertaining challenge I was intrigued and gladly accepted. The first part of the challenge involved cooking an existing Pepperidge Farm recipe. I chose these individual Chocolate Fondue Cups because they are festive and perfect for holiday (or anytime) entertaining.
This caramel corn is one of the many food-related traditions in my family. All you have to do is boil the caramel ingredients for a few minutes, toss the popped popcorn in the caramel, and bake it in the oven to golden, crispy perfection.
Back to school has kicked into full gear and we are saying our goodbyes to summer but I still find myself thinking back to one of my all-time summer favorites: s’mores. In this rendition of the nostalgic treat, rich {milk chocolate} fudge is dipped in marshmallow creme and then rolled in crushed graham crackers.
This PB&J parfait transforms one of my favorites – a peanut butter & jam sandwich – into a parfait that triples as a hearty breakfast, healthy snack and wholesome dessert. The options for pb&j combos are endless with different fruit and granola toppings.
Fruit bouquets make the perfect healthy snack in addition to being eye-catching centerpieces for parties, BBQ’s and picnics. They can be as simple or as elaborate as you would like. You {and your kids!} can make a detailed plan, brainstorming how to make different fruits look like specific flowers or you can simply jump into an making an arrangement using an assortment of fruits, cookie cutters and skewers.
This cookies and cream chocolate bark is easy to make and it’s a simple decadent addition to your holiday goodie baskets.
I still remember the first time that I tried a Cookies and Cream caramel apple at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory so I decided to make them at home. They are super easy to make. Simply swirl the apples in melted white chocolate and then dip them in crushed Oreo cookies.
Game 7 of the World Series is tonight and whether you are rooting for the Rangers or the Cardinals you and yours can enjoy these easy peasy candy apples. These edible baseballs also make great party favors and festive baseball team treats.
Celebrate peach season with a special breakfast {or dessert}: peaches and cream waffles. Sweet, juicy peaches and homemade whipped cream is a match made in heaven. Enjoy these waffles while you can because you’ll have to wait until next summer to have them again.
