Valentine Delights!

My husband loves peanut butter cups, so this year I thought I'd try to make some special homemade ones for Valentine's Day.

I picked up a Wilton candy mold, a package of Wilton Dark Cocoa Melts, and a package of Peanut Butter Candy Melts. I chose the Melts because they taste pretty good, but mainly because they melt so easily in the microwave. I wanted the candy to have a little bit of a richer taste, so I ended up mixing the dark cocoa melts with another dark candy bar and a little extra peanut butter with the other ones.



I was very pleased with how they turned out and how little time it took me to make them. I can already think of several types of candy to make in this mold. Next time, I think I'll make them with more peanut butter and less chocolate. 

What are you making for Valentine's Day?

Fun With Peeps!

Ok, so I haven't exactly left for the gym yet. Instead I have found creative recipes that use Peeps as an ingredient and a recipe to make my own marshmallows! I hope to make some very soon!

Kasey Buick has a great tutorial for making a house for a Peep!

Peeps in hot chocolate from Zakka Life sounds delish!

Living Locurto has a great recipe for Cotton Candy Cupcakes.

I love these cute Peep Cake Pops from Kitchen Daily
 

Chocolate Dipped Peeps from Worth the Whisk look divine.





No Fuss Fabulous has a fantastic recipe for homemade marshmallows and great photos of these creations by Loralee Lewis.
