Easter Sweets!!

Apparently, my dog likes ice cream as much as I do. We caught here licking the ice cream container clean after I was done with it yesterday:

Her entire face was in the ice cream container when we caught her, but she whipped it out as soon as she realized we were there, lol. I don’t blame her…cookie dough ice cream is some good stuff!

Now onto Easter baking! We had so many desserts at my house last night due to my sister’s baking spree, it was ridiculous! 

Dessert #1= Fudge Puddles

She used this recipe, but used cashew butter in the crust instead of peanut butter. The “puddles” had sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and butterscotch chips. Talk about decadence!

Dessert #2: Black Bottom Cupcakes

That’s the chocolate chip marscapone filling for the cupcakes!!!

Recipe can be found here.

And finally…Dessert #3: Kitchen Sink Cookies

These have everything in them except the kitchen sink!

The exact recipe came from Stick, Chewy, Messy, Gooey cookbook, but a very similar can be found here. We basically used the proportions of the recipe I just linked to, but with different mix ins. You could really put almost anything you want in these! We used:

  • Chocolate chips
  • Special K cereal
  • Butterscotch chips
  • Walnuts
  • White chocolate chips

Warning: These are incredibly addictive!!!

After trying ALL of these desserts, everyone in my family voted on their favorite.

The vedict??

Little brother and Mom liked the fudge puddles the best.

Sister and I liked the cupcakes the best. **Chocolate lover alert: The cupcakes hands down had the most intense chocolate flavor! Plus lots of ooey goodness inside!

Dad ate everything, but couldn’t pick a favorite! Honestly, everything was really really good!

We also went out to Easter brunch on Sunday morning (and had wonderful food, of course), but I think I will save that recap for the next post! Hope you all had a great weekend!
