Nutter Butter Mummies

Halloween is almost here! Brynlee (my 6 year old) and I wanted to make a fun food craft and these are what we came up with. Nothing complicated- just easy, fun, and cute. I've seen these done with oreo's as well but we liked the shape of the Nutter Butter's better. As I mentioned before, they were very easy to make! Brynlee dipped the cookies in the chocolate, I did the eyes, and we both took turns drizzling the chocolate.

Nutter Butter Mummies

Ingredients:

12 Nutter Butter Cookies
1 bag Guittard Vanilla Chips
mini chocolate chips
2 TBSP Shortening

Directions:

Place vanilla chips in a small microwave bowl. Microwave on half power for a minute at a time, stirring after each until it is nice and smooth. Using a fork, dip the cookies into the chocolate. Pick up with the fork and tap lightly on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate. Gently slide cookie onto parchment paper or other non-stick surface. Place two mini chocolate chips close together to make eyes. Once you've done this with all 12 cookies scoop the remaining chocolate into a ziplock bag and snip a small corner off. Gently squeeze over cookie from side to side to make the bandages. Let firm up for a few hours or until the chocolate is set. Carefully trim any excess chocolate away from the mummies. Enjoy!

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go: I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra. No judgement here :) Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out. They're that good!

Chocolate Covered Cream Balls

Several years ago, I sampled a Milk Chocolate Coconut at See's Candies. It was love at first bite. Ever since then I have made a mandatory stop every time I went into the mall to get one of these delicious chocolates. I love them so much ! However, there are two things I didn't like about them. 1) I had to go to the mall to get them, and 2) they are SO expensive. I think the last time I was there I paid about 75 cents for 1 chocolate.

Healthier Chocolate Banana Muffins

I know, I know. We already have like 5 banana muffins posted on this blog. I have put off posting this recipe because of that fact, but here's the thing. While those muffins are all delicious and great in their own way, when I have ripe bananas you know I'm either making these muffins or banana bread. More often, these muffins because they are perfect for a grab and go snack or breakfast. My family LOVES these muffins! They have such a deep chocolate flavor and are so moist. What my family doesn't think about, but I love, are that these muffins are healthier than your average muffin. They are made with whole wheat flour, coconut oil, greek yogurt for extra protein, and have less sugar that most other muffins. These are best warm (they can be reheated in the microwave for 10 seconds) and those bites with melted chocolate chips are the absolute best!
