Whenever I have leftover melted chocolate, I find myself making pops. It’s just about the easiest method of making something silly and sweet. And given the blob-factor, there is pretty much no room for error when you’re piping the chocolate. Make easy monster “blob” chocolate pops for Halloween HERE at the decorated cookie.… Read More ...
Chocolate Butterflies with Wax Paper and Books
It’s the book part that got me for these. Oh, I’ve seen chocolate butterflies before. I’ve even made them before. And the arch always perplexed me. Until this stroke of genius to use a book. Love it. Find the how-tos HERE at We Lived Happily Ever After.… Read More ...
Creepy Candy Bars
See? Eyes! I said it all last year to the point of annoying everyone, I’m sure, but just add eyes to make something creepy. (Or oddly, cute, in some cases.) The eyes have it. Easy peasy, instant Halloween. Make candy bars that look at you HERE at Hungry Happenings.… Read More ...
Halloween Candy Wrapper Templates
I know, I know. I’ve seen plenty of candy bars-dressed-up-in-paper-for Halloween, but I’m especially fond of these. It just makes sense that ghosts, Dracula and bats would sneakily hide their candy. Find the templates to make candy wrappers HERE at Woman’s Day.… Read More ...
Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Footballs
I know I’ve posted on chocolate covered strawberry footballs before, but I’m guessing it was during the last football season. And I’m guessing that was a year ago? I’ll know soon enough when football appears on my TV screen (much to my reluctance). Make chocolate-covered strawberry footballs HERE at Craftfoxes.… Read More ...
Chocolate Covered Apple Pops for Halloween
I always want to make more treats with apples this time of year, but find caramel apples too cumbersome to eat, and of course sliced apples brown so quickly. So slap my forehead. Of course, just cover the whole apple slice with melted chocolate! Make chocolate-covered apple slice Jack-O’Lantern pops HERE at We Made That.… Read More ...
Chocolate Ghosts and Some Marshmallows, Too
Two of my favorite, easiest things to do in one post: Pipe with melted chocolate, put stuff on sticks and fancy up marshmallows. OK, three of my favorite things.

Ghostly Chocolate Bark

Snack Cake Bats
I think I recently claimed back to school was the most wonderful time of the year (or parents). I’ll amend that to “except for Halloween” (for edible crafts folks). This time of the year is so full of cleverness and cuteness and creepiness. Mostly cleverness and cuteness. Make super easy snack cake bats HERE at Hungry Happenings. And be … Read More ...
The Time of Year Again for Chocolate Chalkboards
I’m still counting down the days for school to start (which means Monday in my part of the world). Need a little reminder of cool-treats-to-make for back to school? I posted on the original inspirations for these chocolate chalkboards–HERE from Hungry Happenings and HERE from the Dollhouse Bake Shoppe, but this is an idea worth revisiting. Find a … Read More ...

Going under the sea any time soon? I mean party-wise, though tales of actual sea adventures would be welcome, too. You’ll find lots o’ great and re-creatable ideas for the dessert table HERE at D.I.Y. Louisville. Love the easy to make clam cookies and the adorable goldfish marshmallow pops.

Easy Mickey Snack Cake Pops
Aw, Mickey. I have a whole new appreciation for Mickey and the entire Disney universe after my trip to Disney World earlier this year. Cynical me was hesitant, but dang, that’s some kind of operation. Plus, my kid is only four and believed every second. Anyway, make super crazy easy Mickey pops from melted chocolate and store-bought snack cakes HERE … Read More ...
