Ice Cream Snickers Pie by Woman's Day

I just found a recipe on Woman's Day that I am probably going to add to my collection {their recipes are always good}. You probably already know that I love desserts. Chocolate candy bars, cream cheese frosting, yes I am a dessert junkie.


























Ingredients:

• 1 pt chocolate ice cream, softened


• 9-in. ready-to-fill Oreo cookie crust


• 3 Tbsp creamy peanut butter


• 1⁄2 cup caramel ice cream topping


• 1⁄2 cup salted peanuts


• 1⁄2 cup coarsely chopped Snickers Popables candy


• 2 pt Ben & Jerry’s “In a Crunch” ice cream
  

Directions:

1. Spread chocolate ice cream over bottom of cookie crust. Stir peanut butter into caramel topping. Drizzle 1⁄3 cup on ice cream; sprinkle with 1⁄4 cup each peanuts and chopped candy. (Freeze until ice cream is firm.)

2. Top with scoops of peanut butter ice cream. Stir 1 to 2 tsp water into remaining topping mixture; drizzle over top. Sprinkle with remaining peanuts and candy. Freeze at least 4 hours.

3. About 20 minutes before serving: Refrigerate pie to thaw slightly.

Planning Tip: Can be made 2 weeks ahead. Wrap airtight and freeze.

Masculine Dessert Table by Kara's Party Ideas

Next year, I want to do something like this for my husband's birthday. I love this dessert table, and I love the fact that it's not girlie. Something perfect for guys... sweets, without the girls pink bunting.

chocolate mousse cups

As I sit here, typing this post, I am having a major chocolate attack. It's a big attack, too.I don't really keep chocolate in the house, quite frankly because I can't resist it, so... instead of eating chocolate frequently, I must blog about it.

About 13 years ago, I saw my very first edible chocolate cup. I was just so amazed by the little creation. Sad to say, but over the years, I have never taken the initiative to make them myself. Today, I found this picture online, and it might just be the key motivator in getting me to try my hand at chocolate mousse cups.

Woman's Day has the recipe if you are interested.






























♥ Have a good weekend!

train themed birthday party

You are going to love this post! Mostly because it's filled with deliciousness and cuteness. While visiting the Flickr photo gallery of Cake Ink, I fell in love with this adorable train themed birthday party dessert table. Just take a look at all of the goodies. Marshmallow cupcakes, meringues, blue lemonade, and my favorite... blueberry sour straps! Take a look at Cake Ink's Flickr gallery for yourself -- there's more, too.

carnival of sweets by ruby press

Today, I found myself over at Ruby Press, where I discovered one of their creations---a Carnival of Sweets. As you can imagine, when I saw the word sweets, I was immediately interested. In 2009, they produced an amazing event for one of their clients. Just check out the beautiful invitation, dessert table, and my personal favorite, showcase of cupcakes. Mmmmm.
