It's the holidays and I looove baking and making cool and new recipes for my friends and family. This recipe is fast and easy, two of my favorite things, and it only takes four ingredients! (Three if you want to forgo the sea salt.) This recipe is so easy though and takes little effort to make. I will warn you that these Marshmallows will be INCREDIBLY rich. But they are so good! You can take the caramel recipe from here and add it to this recipe for even more kitchen madness. Ingredients: Marshmallows (Large or Medium Sized) Chocolate Caramel Sea Salt (Optional) Directions: 1. Take marshmallow and dip in caramel 2. Take marshmallow and dip in chocolate 3. Sprinkle sea salt 4. Eat! Like I said this recipe is so easy and simple, but also incredibly rich. It's hard to eat one because it has so much sweetness/sugar in it. It makes I nice dessert for gatherings, and it's really easy.

Today I'm sharing with ya'll a recipe from Pinterest that I LOVE. This one is fast and easy, and comes from Let's Dish (original recipe here). I have used this recipe most recently as just caramel for other recipes, some I'll share later on this month. Whether you use this easy recipe as a caramel dip or for some soft caramel candies at Christmas, this is probably the perfect recipe for you. Contrary to what the original poster does, I put everything into one container! And it does get sticky. I honestly feel like I've had more caramel on my hands than in the little wax paper squares we've cut up. Also I will probably buy candy wrappers from Amazon for next time, and I might use parchment paper on the microwavable container to save a little bit of my sanity when trying to cut them into pieces. Instructions: 1. Butter your choice of pan, or if you want to go crazy, mold. I use microwavable storage containers, that work for both microwave and cold storage. These are great because it's one container and clean up is easier. 2. If you are using multiple bowls/pans melt butter in a microwaveable bowl. Since I used one container I combined steps 1 & 2, since butter was all in the same place. 3. Pour the corn syrup, brown sugar, white sugar, and sweetened condensed milk into the microwavable container or bowl. Stir the sugar is mostly dissolved. 4. Microwave for about 3 minutes, on high. Microwaves are all different, so start shorter and keep at it until it's slightly bubbly. (You don't want a mess of caramel all over! I did!) 5. Remove from microwave, stir and scrape down the sides of the mixture. 6. Return to the caramel to the microwave and microwave for another 3 minutes on high. 7. At this point you will want to stir in the vanilla, unless you messed up and added it early before microwaving, it won't ruin it, but it's better to wait. 8. At this point if you have it in separate containers immediately pour this into the buttered dish. 9. Put it in the fridge to cool, or set it out. 10. (Optional) You can either eat it straight from the container (like me), or you can attempt to cut it up and put it on squares of wax paper to give as candies. So there you have it some easy microwaved caramels! It's such a sweet little item to share with friends and family, and homemade is best kind of present you can give.
Throughout the last half of December we are excited to share with you some of our favorite DIYs and recipes. These are so easy, my dad could do them. Well, maybe not all of them, but after these you will be the talk of all the holiday parties. One of our favorite recipes, and a huge hit with literally EVERYONE is Chocolate Bark. This recipe is pretty versatile and you can add to it to make it your own. I've seen variations with different toppings from nuts to peppermint to make it festive. Plus there's chocolate, so it can't get too messed up with chocolate involved....right? Ingredients: -Saltine crackers -Foil -1 cup Butter -1/4 cup sugar -2 cups chocolate chips You will also need a pan and a cookie sheet. Now the steps: 1. Pre-heat Oven to 350 degrees. Cover Cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Line the crackers on the tray. 2. In a pan put the butter and sugar on the stove on medium bringing to a boil, we tend to stir during this process. 3. Pour the butter sugar mixture over all the crackers and then bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. 4. After taking out pf the oven, put chocolate chips all over, we usually don't measured here and just put as many as we think looks good and it is covered to our liking. After we have put the chocolate on we put it back in the oven for about a minute to help them melt. Then spread the chocolate out fairly evenly over all the crackers, so all have the chocolaty goodness. 5. Put in fridge to harden fro 4-5 hours or more, we also tend to put it in the freezer to harden. 6. After it has hardened, break into pieces as big or small as you would like. They can be random sizes and shapes or the size and shape of the crackers, however much you think is a good serving. ![]() There you have it, our beloved bark. Some of our friends love just the cracker, sugar, butter mixture, while others love the whole thing. Hopefully your friends and family enjoy it as much as our's do! Today I will be sharing with you a recipe I've recently fallen in love with and that is S'mores Trail Mix. I love S'mores and the smell of bonfires. Some of my favorite memories in college surrounded making and eating S'mores (among other foods). However, why limit the S'more fun to just bonfires? I am on an actual mission to try out all the S'mores recipes out there. This one has been a HUGE success. (I will also note I rank success over how many of the "older" ladies at church compliment me on it.) Angela and I first made this "trail mix" for a Christian Ed coffee hour. People loved it. I watched everyone sneak a bite before church, which made me happy about the whole thing. Then we decided to bring it back, with some edits to the recipes, and all the kiddos loved it. The best part is that it can be made nut free, which a kid at church is allergic to nuts, and S'mores! What's not to love? Now before I bore you anymore here's some pictures from the process, followed by a complete direction of the recipes (so you can screenshot it and make yourself!) S'mores Trail Mix Ingredients: All the ingredients are relative, if you want more of one thing or less than another this recipe works well. If you use different size marshmallows remember to make them more bite size. Please note not all of the links provided will be nut free, please read the labels.
Like I said before this is one of my favorite S'mores recipes, besides the real deal. Nothing will beat the smell of bonfire and roasting some marshmallows.

![]() So for Easter my church has an Easter breakfast. My sister and I were scrambling to figure out something to make for it that would really wow everyone. Now I got a couple compliments on the Funfetti Dip, but I was also busy with the Easter egg hunt after church I had no time to ask anyone. However, I love this dip so much! I eat the leftovers pretty much everyday. Yummy. This only needs three ingredients: Confetti Cake Mix (1box 18.9 oz) Greek Yogurt (2 cups fat-free plain) Cool Whip (1cup lite) Instructions: *In a large mixing bowl combine all the ingredients and mix until there's no lumps, basically so the cake mix is mixed into the yogurt and cool whip. *Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least four hours *Serve with graham or fruit and Enjoy! |
