Marshmallow White Chocolate Bark Recipe
This delicious Easter marshmallow white chocolate bark recipe from Shauna at Ella and Annie Magazine would look so pretty on a spring dessert table or packaged up cute as Easter party favors! Who doesn't love white chocolate and marshmallows (with some sprinkles thrown in)?!
I am used to making peppermint bark around the holidays, and thought it would be fun to try an Easter bark!
{DIY} How to Make Homemade Citronella Candles
We don't have a lot of mosquitoes here in Northern California (thank God!), but I remember those buggy nights in New Jersey when I was growing up, and how we'd go out to a summer party, and I'd come home with my body covered in bites. So when I found this DIY on making homemade citronella candles on Garden Therapy, I had to share. What a great idea!
The best part of this tutorial is that it explains how to add additional scents to your candles like eucalyptus, rosemary, peppermint, and oregano -- other smells bugs don't like, that aren't just citronella.
Free Cookies & Cocoa Christmas Printables
I've always loved Christmas cookie exchange parties. I think asking your guests to bring over their favorite batch of cookies and putting them out for everyone to share feels very "season of giving" to me.
So check out the free cookies & cocoa Christmas Printables we created. There are even printables to set you your own hot cocoa bar.
DIY TUTORIAL: How to Make Hamburger Cookies
When I saw this photo from Jennifer T's All American BBQ, I thought what cute hamburger cupcakes. Then I found out they weren't cupcakes at all, but hamburger COOKIES! I've never seen this before, so I asked Jennifer if she'd put together a tutorial... And here it is! Thank you, Jennifer!
First off, there is only one rule before I share this with you...When you make these and someone asks you if they were hard to make, we are to always say YES ;) I mean if we are going to "slave" away in the kitchen for a few minutes (yes, I said a few minutes is all at it will take to make these) then we are going to get some appreciation :) LOL
TRENDS: Holiday Party Hot Cocoa Bars
I'm so into hot cocoa bars this year because they're warm, tasty, inexpensive, and best of all... unexpected. Stealing from the traditional ice cream bar idea, a hot cocoa bar is where you set out cups of hot cocoa (or a carafe) and a selection of toppings and let your guests go to town.
For kids, I recommend putting out a variety of candy toppings (flavored marshmallows, crushed peppermint, M&Ms, etc.), and for adults, you can kick it up a notch by putting out some delicious liqueurs. Take a look at some of these fantastic ideas we've seen.
