Candy Cane Marshmallow Pops

December 9, 2013 by Jenn

The weather here has been down right FREEZING!  I know I live in Canada, and I know it’s winter (well almost) but -30C is ridiculous!  There’s a wind chill to boot as well.  For the last couple of years, due to Paul’s “encouragement” I’ve tried to embrace winter.  It hasn’t worked.  Yet.  I’m trying again this year, and decided to buy a down jacket, and adult snow pants (do you know they make those things without overalls now?!)  So with my down jacket, and Ugg boots (no snowpants though . . . I’m saving those for ice fishing) we left the house yesterday and went for a walk.  For 20 minutes.  It was all we could handle . . . well, it was all I could handle.  I’m sure Paul could have gone for much longer as I’m a wimp.  My jacket kept me super warm and I enjoyed my new purchase until my face froze and my legs froze and I had those to complain about.  Complaining is what I do best after all.

After our outside jaunt, I was desperate to be warmed up, and a warm cup of hot chocolate was in order.  These candy cane marshmallow pops are super quick to assemble, and add delightful tastes to your warm cup of hot chocolate!  They would also be delicious in a cup of coffee.

Peppermint Chocolate Christmas Candy: No Bake Christmas Candies

December 2, 2013 by Jenn

Learn how to make easy Christmas candy chocolates!   This is a no bake recipe, so all you need is a microwave or a double boiler to melt the chocolate.   This is a thicker version of a traditional peppermint bark so if you’re looking for a peppermint bark recipe, you can still use this, just with thinner layers of chocolate in the mould.  If you don’t have a mould, you can follow the same procedure for the chocolate using a baking tray instead.

Rainbow Chocolate Chip Microwave Cookie: No Bake Cookie in a Mug

November 25, 2013 by Jenn

 Through our visits to LA over the last couple of months, we’ve been able to meet some really great people!  One of those great people is Hetal, from Show Me the Curry.  Her and her partner, have a YouTube channel that specializes in Indian recipes, and they look so amazing!  While we were at YouTube Space LA, we found ourselves together in what looked to be a bachelor type pad, so we decided to do a couple of collabs together on microwavable recipes!  Make sure you head over to Hetal’s channel and check out her collab with me, baking a Bachelor Brownie.

Rainbow Cheesecake Dip: No Bake Cream Cheese Dip Recipe

November 22, 2013 by Jenn

A couple posts ago I explained that we were back in Los Angeles at the beginning of November for some more time filming and exploring at YouTube Space LA.  Whenever we’re there, we have to think of as many no bake desserts as we can, and then somehow book the time to film them.  It’s definitely challenging!  Setting up lights and cameras takes a lot of time, especially since we’re used to filming in our kitchen.

 In previous no bake dessert posts, I showed you how to make Cake Batter Bars, Cookies and Cream Stuffed Strawberries and now, rainbow cheesecake dip.   We filmed these all at YouTube Space LA, and we have three more videos yet to come! 

This is another easy, no bake recipe for that people of all ages can make!  And it’s rainbow.  RAINBOW!  Everything that has sprinkles or rainbows makes life better.

I love the recipes that the younger bakers can master quickly because that’s how I started baking.  Super quick and easy.  It makes you feel successful, and for some reason, many people think that baking is difficult.  What I love about this blog and our YouTube channel is that we break the steps up into small pieces and everyone can be successful. 

This is also a great recipe to serve with fruit (if you want to cut a few calories out).  Mini cookies, and meringues would also be perfect!

Cake Batter Bars: No Bake Cake Mix Bar Recipe

November 19, 2013 by Jenn

I have a small obsession with Birthday Cake Oreos….well, really anything cake batter flavoured!  Why is cake BATTER, such a delicious flavour?  Have you tried birthday cake ice cream from Cold Stone?? OMG!  It is soooo delicious.  Anyway, when the birthday cake Oreos first came out, I was devastated that they would go away as quickly as they appeared, but thank goodness, they’re still on shelves.  You’re going to need to pick yourself up a package of them for this recipe…and an extra package to snack on!

Cookies and Cream Stuffed Strawberries

November 18, 2013 by Jenn

Making our way to California is quite an effort when you live in the small, relatively isolated, place that we do.  While booking our most recent trip to Los Angeles with a travel agent, I had to explain to her where Cranbrook was located, and how to get out of it by plane.  I don’t think she was having a very good day when I phoned her, as she seemed rather annoyed about 1. my location, 2. my limited airline options, 3. the fact that Paul and I don’t have the same last name.  After arguing with her that a one hour stop over in Calgary was NOT enough time to get through security (switching airlines takes us out of security area) and customs (damn USA), and her insistence that one hour was the “standard allowable time”, she finally relinquished and “allowed” us to be routed through Vancouver.  After all that, we had our tickets, and we left Cranbrook in a snow storm, and arrived in LA in the warm sun!  

Visiting YouTube Space LA again was great!  They have such a great group of people that keep that place running.  While there, we met up with Chef Jason Hill of the YouTube channel Chef Tips, and we decided to do a collob together.  On our channel, we make these delicous cookies and cream stuffed strawberries, and over on his channel, we make an adorable fruit turkey!  Make sure you check his channel out.
