Crushed Conversation Heart Cookie Pops

meaghan mountford — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 20:02:14 +0000

Maybe just a little contrary to Valentine’s Day (smashing conversation hearts), but really, that wasn’t my intent (I left one in tact, see?). I made these crushed conversation heart chocolate cookie pops for a guest post over at The TomKat Studio today. Find all the how-tos HERE.

Chocolate-dipped strawberries with cute heart sprinkles served in a totally edible chocolate box? I have a chocolate-dipped strawberry obsessed friend born on Valentine’s Day who would go bonkers for these. Hmmm… wonder if they are shippable. Learn to make this luxurious treat HERE at the Dollhouse Bake Shoppe blog.

Sweetly Demented

meaghan mountford — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 15:32:00 +0000

I have to admit, I’m fascinated by and very much appreciate when clever people find ways to take sweets and goodies to a deeper level of dark. Check out Sweetly Demented, a “confectionary line ranging from, the morbid, shabby chic, woodzie, tastefully disgusting & sometimes just plain rude.” These handmade chocolates, marshmallows, caramels and toffee are exquisitely crafted. Shown are the “Grandma,” the “Large Silver Buck’s Antler,” and the “Wood Grain Toffee.” Find the shop HERE.

Chocolate and Flowers for Valentine’s

meaghan mountford — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 00:42:03 +0000

Valentines, hearts, chocolate and flowers all in one. How utterly fitting. Plus, these pretty-in-pink chocolate-hiding “flowers” use balloon sticks. In thousands of posts, I don’t think I’ve ever posted on any craft that uses balloon sticks. Learn to make them HERE at A Spoonful of Sugar.

Chocolate Chalkboard for Football Plays

And I had to share another football-themed sweet with you. This is such genius: An edible chocolate chalkboard with white chocolate “chalk” to draw the football plays. It makes me want to learn how to play football. Find the how-tos HERE at Hungry Happenings.

Conversation Heart Bark

meaghan mountford — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 15:39:38 +0000

I realize that smashing up conversation hearts could be construed as anti-Valentine’s Day, and that the act of smashing conversation hearts renders conversation hearts unreadable (hence, no conversation), but really, they lend themselves so beautifully to chocolate bark. Find the how-tos to make conversation heart bark HERE at my blog, which I made to join the virtual Valentine’s Day party at the Dollhouse Bake Shoppe blog.

Cupid’s Arrow Chocolates

meaghan mountford — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 18:04:47 +0000

Methinks it was kismet that I just so happened to go to Target yesterday and buy some silicone heart ice cube trays from the discount bin a day before receiving a submission for these cutie chocolate hearts with pretzel Cupid’s arrows made from silicone heart ice cube trays from the discount bin at Target. I’m just saying is all. Find the how-tos HERE at My Own Road.
