A Guide to S’mores Dessert Board from Start to Finish

You’ve heard of a Charcuterie board, and I’m sure you’ve made one (it is the trend right now), but have you tried a S’mores Platter? I Love any excuse to eat a melted marshmallow with chocolate, but what if I told you it doesn’t just have to be graham crackers and chocolate? It also doesn’t have to be a long homemade process either! Yup, this simple DIY requires you to run to fav store and grab all of your fav candy and cookies. Hello Elder Millenial Nostalgia!

Recipe: Peppermint Brownie

This recipe is my holiday version in honor of my husband’s all-time favorite dessert, the brownie. Chunks of chocolate chips, with a fudgy rich texture that crumbles on the top and has that perfect amount of peppermint that throws you into holiday nostalgia. Peppermint hot chocolate by a cozy fire listening to Nat King Cole and watching the snow fall gently.

This peppermint brownie recipe is a little different, in that I use powdered sugar (instead of granulated sugar) to help make the brownies denser and hold their fudge-like texture together. Much like fudge, they are also decadent and rich, so I highly recommend cutting them into smaller squares much as you would fudge. trust me, your tummy will thank you.

Recipe: Mint Chip “Milkshake” Cupcakes

I am a huge Mint Chip Ice Cream fan (as is my oldest whom I made these cupcakes for). My oldest just had a birthday party recently and wanted some kind of fun cupcake for the party. Enter…. mint chip milkshake cupcakes. A fun play on basic cupcakes with a milkshake flair.

Last year, I made a cake that looked like a dragon (yes this kid is also really into dragons). But that was a lot. I had to bake the cake, freeze it, cut it, “glue it” and then frost and decorate it.
