Oreo cupcakes

I had bought Halloween Oreo just to have a reason to make something. I ended up being short in time so I used boxed cake mix but made my own buttercream frosting with Oreo cookies crushed in it.

M&M Cookie

Everyone must check out this blog Picky Palate, every recipe I have tried turns out delicious. 

The most recent one I tried was the M&M cookies. I did not make them XXL like she did I made them in a normal size and everything worked out well. 

Try the recipe you wont be disappointed 

Scooby!

This is your basic funfetti cake, went crazy with food coloring and sprinkles. The decoration in top is made with white chocolate.

Tips on making a Scooby: print out the image you want, place wax paper over it and draw with chocolate. Place in freezer and then peel off the wax paper. 

This is Halloween

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and I love throwing themed parties. This year I went all out baking. Who doesn't get lazy when they have to bake large amounts, so some things got sloppy. In the end I still able to pull of some cute goodies for my party. 

This one of my favorite cookie recipes, PB Swirl Cookie. Even if you don't chill the PB mixture and just blend it in this cookie turns out delicious. Pretty easy. Spiders are made of peanut butter cups, mini m&m eyes, and black licorice eyes. It was all glued on with melted chocolate.

 

What is this? My first attempt at some sugar work. It was decoration for my red velvet cupcakes to look like broken glass with some "blood". Anyways shortly after the broken glass on the cupcakes they became soft and lost its shape.  FAIL!

My Halloween Tables:

Blood Table: Red Velvet cupcakes, Oreo Devil food cake, Red jello shots and red vodka

The Witches Table: Dark color sodas, orange and black chips, and dip

Pumpkin Table: Orange sodas, spice cupcakes, PB swirl cookies, and candy.

Teddy Grahams and Goldfish go to the Beach

Can you guess what I made? 

CAKE POPS !!!

For those who have been left out of the craze, the basic recipe is one baked cake crumbled and mixed with frosting formed into balls and dipped into chocolate. I have been trying to perfect the Cake Pop, the dipping process is hard! I can never dip them right, so I heard the putting vegetable shortening helps and let me tell you it did!

These were for a work party and since we work in a beach city beach themed cake pops were created! and yes each teddy graham got a hot bikini. The "sand" is just some poor teddy grahams in a food processor with a teaspoon of pumpkin pie seasoning.

PB swirl cookies

This has to be one of the best cookie recipe i have ever made!

See the dark spots that's the PB swirl!! 

Okay some notes about the recipe, i was measuring the peanut butter for the recipe and realized it needed the whole jar and i didnt have to measure it. It was really hard to get the peanut butter swirl because the pb mixture would get soft to quickly. i just had to break it into larger chunks then intended and just gently stir it in being really careful to not get rid of the lovely swirl.
p.s. the Peanut butter truffle mixture is so yummy! maybe it would work on other treats

Nutella cookies?

Want to eat it right of the jar? ya me too

An adjustment i made to this recipe was that i added about 4 tbsp. of flour the dough was to sticky to handle and i chilled the dough before handling it.   When you break these cookies in half you see the lovely nutella, yummy warm but until they cool down you wont see the nutella. Here is the low down chocolate-y cookie with nutella on the inside. Next time i will put nutella in the cookie dough. How did i get the nutella in the middle? I used a regular ice cream scoop then flattened the cookie out like a pancake put the nutella in the middle and rolled it up.
