{A Festive Treat- White Chocolate Dipped Candy Canes}

Over the weekend I helped host a baby shower for one of my best friends and I made these for favors since it was a Christmas themed baby shower. They are perfect for favors or little treats for co-workers and friends and they are super easy!


What you need:

-Candy Canes
-White Chocolate or Almond Bark
-Assorted Sprinkles
-Wax/Parchment Paper



Spread out the wax paper on the counter. Melt the bark in a large bowl in the microwave. Unwrap the candy canes and put to the side (this was the hardest part... Candy Canes are not that easy to unwrap without breaking!). Dip the curved part of the candy cane in the melted bark and use a spoon to cover about half of the candy cane. Lay it out on the wax paper and sprinkle the wet bark with sprinkles, then let dry.




Thank you, Pinterest for another great idea :)

On a sugar high...

I have eaten myself into a sugary, Christmas cookie coma and gained a few extra pounds! This week has been filled with day time work parties. On Tuesday my company had a small party at our office that just consisted of desserts. Wednesday the building my company is in had a massive dessert party in the lobby. And today the accounting department had their annual Christmas cookie party and they were so sweet to include me in it. Tuesday night I baked cookies for hubby to take to work so of course I had to take a couple bites and last night I baked for 3 hours and I had to sample those too. After this week it will be a miracle if I don't end up with diabetes!!




Cookies & Desserts from work! I just had a little bite of each :)







Cookies I made for party at work today. They are 2 Ritz crackers with Peanut Butter in between and dipped in white chocolate. YUMMO!








Oreo Balls I made for work today. They are oreos and cream cheese dipped in white chocolate. Double yummo!




I am going to be in serious need of a major detox and diet after this week is over! ;)
