Mint Chocolate Chip Truffles

[heart_this] · Aug 9, 2018 · 13 Comments

Mint Chocolate Chip is a favorite flavor combination of mine and these little mint chocolate chip truffles are way too addicting. A creamy mint filling dipped in good quality dark chocolate makes a perfect indulgence.

Mint Chocolate Chip Truffles are a perfect treat for the holidays and Christmas. With a few simple ingredients like cream cheese, butter and sugar, you can have an easy christmas candy recipe for all your holiday cookie exchanges and party trays.

My son, Cameron, just had to have his blood drawn twice in the past week. Since he is only two, I was nervous how it would go and a bit sad to take him. Thankfully, my sister was able to come with me when he had it done the first time. We were both bracing ourselves for a lot of crying. But, when we got there, he proudly climbed up on the chair, held out his arm and didn’t flinch or cry when they poked him.

We have about 5 inches of snow on the ground. Actually, that was this morning. It is melting very quickly. I have been craving spring this year like never before. I’m not sure if that is because we spent a good portion of February down and out sick, or from living in a partially finished house is difficult when we can’t escape outside, or from having a little boy who constantly begs to go outside when it is freezing. …

Peanut Butter Pretzel Buckeyes

Peanut butter balls sandwiched between pretzels and dipped in chocolate are a salty sweet twist on a classic!

Peanut Butter Pretzel Buckeyes | Salty Sweet Christmas treats perfect for christmas candy, cookie exchanges and swaps and just to eat year round.

The Christmas baking bug gets me every year and even though we will have an especially busy December this year, I want to make all the recipes. I have already made plenty of recipes for December and I just need to edit the pictures and write the posts. But I still have about 20 great recipe ideas milling around my head I’d love to make.

If I’m still sharing Christmas recipes in January, you’ll know why. I just about have enough posts for one every day in December, and I’m pretty sure I won’t be able to post things that fast.

I’m partnering with Circulon® to bring you a fun Christmas treat. Thanks for supporting the companies that keep my blog running.

How is your December schedule looking? Is it crazy busy with all the Christmas stuff? Or are you able to enjoy all the extra, little blessings this month holds? It’s a battle isn’t it.

This year I’m trying to take a step back and breathe between all the extra events and obligations the month holds. According to Tyler, I’m not good at relaxing and being fully present in the moment. I tend to rush from one thing to planning and stressing for the next. Trying to change that this year….

Growing up on a farm, my family lived on cold meat sandwiches during harvest. Both lunch and supper would be served to the men out in the field. 90% of the meals to the field and the ones we ate at home for September and October consisted of a sandwich, an apple or pear and three cookies. As kids, if we rode on the combine with dad, mom would send us a little version of dad’s supper. We thought it was the coolest thing to eat lunch out in the field with dad. …

Cream Cheese Frosted Zucchini Cake

Soft zucchini cake frosted with a rich, tangy cream cheese frosting – the best way to eat zucchini this summer!

Cream Cheese Frosted Zucchini Cake (2)

Tyler considers zucchini a weed and thinks I should never plant it. This time of the year it seems like you can barely get rid of the stuff without paying someone to take it. The fact that it’s worthless, combined with the idea that he doesn’t like it has convinced him there is no use in planting it and it just takes up valuable space in the garden. …

Garlic Bread dough is filled with generous amount of tomato sauce, cheese and pepperoni which make these Pepperoni Pizza Rolls a fun way to enjoy pizza flavors.

Make Ahead Pepperoni Pizza Rolls (1)

Recently, I connected with Annalise who blogs at Sweet Anna’s. She sent me a copy of her new cookbook, The Make-Ahead Kitchen which has 75 different recipes that can be made ahead. Working full time doesn’t leave me much time each evening to prepare supper, so I’m always on the look out for meals that can be made ahead of time. I usually get home around 6pm and don’t usually feel like cooking and even if I do try, we often don’t end up eating till 7:30. Any prep that can be done ahead is super helpful.

Inside Out Caramel Apples

Inside Out Caramel Apples are a fun fall treat. Cored apples are filled with caramel sprinkled with cinnamon and baked until tender, then topped with pecans and more caramel for an easy dessert.

Inside Out Caramel Apples - a fun, easy way to enjoy the traditional fall treat.

While I’m still hanging onto summer, I have to admit fall is around the corner. I went on a walk during lunch today at work and there was no mistaking the cool breeze in the air. Plus the evening found me curled up on the couch, sipping a hot mug of chai tea. So for all of you who are embracing fall with open arms, here is a fun, festive recipe to begin fall with. I think these warm, inside out caramel apples would also be delicious with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top….

Salted Peanut Butter OREO Cookie Balls. The traditional Christmas treat with a salted peanut butter twist. Simple and elegant.  #OREO #shop

Happy December 1st! Bring on the Christmas music, decorations, family gatherings and Christmas treats! I will admit, I’m not a fancy Christmas candy maker. Using a candy thermometer and boiling sugary mixtures to hard crack or soft ball stage has never ended well for me, usually in a burnt mess. Mostly because I haven’t taken the time to learn and am just too lazy. So I stick to making simpler things: cut-out cookies, buckeyes (or peanut butter balls for you non-Ohioans), and OREO Cookie Balls….

I’m going to interrupt the normal fall schedule of pumpkin and chocolate recipes and bring you these Spinach and Artichoke Bagels. They are mini bagels with the traditional hot spinach and artichoke dip baked on top. (Don’t worry, there’s much more pumpkin and chocolate coming!) But I’m absolutely in love with these little guys for a variety of reasons: First, because spinach and artichoke dip is one of my favorites (Who can resist all those gooey, cheesy flavors?). Plus, there is spinach in it, so I don’t have to feel guilty, right?…

Microwave Salted Caramel Popcorn

 This Microwave Salted Caramel Popcorn is amazingly easy. No slaving over a pot with a candy thermometer. The perfect fall snack.
 
Microwave Salted Caramel Popcorn - Super easy to make in the microwave!
 

Right now it’s cold and rainy out, and that is exactly the kind of day I’m gonna recommend you make this popcorn; one where you can curl up with a book or a movie, listen to the rain against the windows and munch on this sweet treat. I’m wishing I had some right now as I write this post, but my batch has been long gone. I love how fall puts so many food cravings in my head. No other season does this to me. Maybe it’s because, now that I’m a food blogger, my head is constantly swimming with recipe ideas.

Jalapeno Popper Pretzel Dogs

These pretzel wrapped hot dogs stuffed with jalapenos, cream cheese and cheddar make me happy. Hot dogs and jalapenos, neither of which get me to excited alone, but when paired with bread and cheese they suddenly become heroes of flavors. Maybe I’m just biased because these pretzel dogs have been my brainchild for several weeks and I spent a Saturday morning lovingly coaxing them to life. Anyways, I’m bursting to share them with you. I recommend making them on a lazy rainy day and enjoy their pretty sunshine of colors and flavors.

S’mores Squares

Back to my s’more cravings. (If you missed the first round, you can find my first s’mores treat here.) I was going to post this recipe yesterday evening. However, when I asked Tyler if he thought the pictures were blog worthy, he advised me to make another batch and re-shoot the pictures the next day. I naively took his advice, but as we were going to bed he casually mentioned that he thought the pictures were actually good enough and he thought that it was a good way to convince me to make them again. Well, it worked and today I made the third batch in almost a week’s time!…

Do you have a Friday night tradition? Is it pizza night? Popcorn and movies? Tyler and I don’t normally have Friday night traditions, but tonight it is rainy and my siblings brought us a DVD of their play to watch. So tonight we are going to curl up and watch the play and eat this pizza popcorn together. Actually, I will eat the popcorn. Tyler doesn’t like popcorn for some odd reason. He says its the texture. I say he is weird. Although in his defense, while it was baking he came into the kitchen and asked what was smelling so wonderful, but I had to disappoint him by telling him it was popcorn. (I did cook him a nice supper then.) But this is amazing popcorn! And I think even he should like it….
