Can I Have S'more of Those Please?

Happy Wednesday!  In my last post, I told you that I wanted to share a recipe for the most adorable and delicious treats that I made for a tailgating party a few weeks ago. So, here it is...

I found this idea on Pinterest (where else?), and immediately decided to make them for the tailgate party that weekend.  The pin on Pinterest linked me to Julie's post on "the family kitchen" which gave me the recipe and some awesome photos of the creation process and the finished products! 

I altered my recipe slightly and skipped the "mix heavy cream with the chocolate chips" step.  And I'm not sure if they used semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips, but my chocolate was not as dark as in their photos... I used milk chocolate chips in mine.

To create these delightful treats (based on my alterations) you'll need:

-1 bag of large/jumbo marshmallows
-2 to 3 cups of milk chocolate chips
-Small bowl of graham cracker crumbs (I didn't measure this out)
-Toothpicks or wooden skewers (I used toothpicks that I already had at home)

I melted the chocolate chips in the microwave according to the directions on the bag. While the chips were melting, I placed a toothpick in each of the marshmallows.  Once the chips were melted (being careful not to burn the chocolate), I dipped each marshmallow into the chocolate, completely covering the bottom half to two-third of the marshmallow.  Then I dipped and rolled the marshmallow around in the bowl of graham cracker crumbs to complete the s'more effect.  I placed the marshmallows on a piece wax paper so that the chocolate could set without the bites sticking to anything.

It is literally that EASY, and let me tell you, they were a total with the tailgaters!  I laid them out on the food table and they were completely gone in 5 minutes (no exaggeration)!  Everyone loved them!  It only took me about 15 to 20 minutes to make about 30 bites, so they are a perfect little treat to make on short notice or when you just don't feel like spending hours in the kitchen to make a dessert. 

 Here is a photo I snapped just minutes before the entire plate of bites was devoured: 


What are your favorite party snacks and treats? I'm always looking for new recipes to take to parties and gatherings and would love to hear your ideas! 
Until next time...

Yummy BLT Sandwich…My New Addiction!

I have a confession to make…. I’m in love with food!  I love buying it. I love cooking it. I love reading about it.  And since I began my vegan lifestyle, my interest in new foods has continued to grow.  I’m always looking for new recipes to try, and I'm always trying to come up with creative ways to adjust any recipe to make it vegan-friendly.  One great source of recipes that I’ve discovered is my “fitness magazine” that I receive monthly in the mail.  Every issue offers ideas for lighter healthier meals and recipes.  Check out more recipes at www.fitnessmagazine.com .  While reading the April 2011 issue, I discovered the recipe for my latest addiction: BLT Sandwiches. www.fitnessmagazine.com The Original Recipe: Makes: 4 servings Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 3 minutes ¼ cup fat-free mayonnaise 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar 4 large romaine lettuce leaves, washed and chopped 2 medium red heirloom tomatoes, diced 1 Haas avocado, pitted, peeled...

My New Favorite Sweet Treat...

http://sweetceces.com/index.html Following a vegan diet means no consumption of animal products… No animal products means no dairy… No dairy means no ice cream… And no ice cream means that my selection of sweet and tasty summer treats is extremely limited.   But not to fear, Sweet CeCe’s has come to my rescue! Sweet CeCe’s Frozen Yogurt and Treats is a delicious frozen yogurt shop on Bardstown Road in the Highlands (in Louisville, of course).   My family and I first tried it a few weeks ago and I immediately fell in love.   They have a crazy long list of flavors, and usually offer around 10 different flavors daily, so the available flavors are different each day.   They also have a ton of toppings to choose from…Fruit Loops...Snickers… Oreos… Strawberries… Chocolate Chips... Blueberries… Nuts… Pineapple… and of course cherries to top it all off!   But the list goes on and on and on… The best part about Sweet CeCe’s for me though, is that they always o...
