Sweets On Vacation

Sorry friends, I have nothing to show you from my own kitchen.  I made some adorable chocolate dipped rice krispy pops and a fun rice krispy cake for a friend but I got no photos!

I did go on a fantastic vacation with my family to Westport Washington and my eye is always drawn to the sweets.  Here is what I saw...

My boy sneeking salt water taffy!

My baby tasting her first candy necklace!

My big girl holding a giant cone:)

Candy sticks in every color...pretty!!

Best mint chocolate fudge ever...YUM!!

Tasty jawbreakers.

The kids were in heaven being allowed to have much more candy than we would normally allow.

Now I need to get busy planning the treats for my upcoming Stella & Dot party.  Got any ideas?

Dunk, Roll & Cool Your Way To Decadent Ice Cream Cones

Check out these delicious cones we made to celebrate the end of school/ beginning of summer.

Here's a quick tutorial that will hopefully motivate you to try them cause they are sooo yummy!

Choose some kind of candy bar or nuts that sound good to you...I went with crispy crunch (Canadian version of Butter Finger)

Melt chocolate in a double boiler.  I went with dark chocolate chips and some unsweetened dark chocolate baker's squares)

Okay enough talking, here's the steps...

Dunk...

Roll...

Cool.  (in the fridge.  Mine are sitting on my silpat in my baking try.  You can use parchment paper if you don't have a silpat.)

That's it!  So easy and it makes the cones MUCH more exciting!!

Go make these!

Here are my kids and their cousins enjoying their cones outside (while the adults gobbled theirs down inside)

YUM YUM!
