Eagle Treats

We made these treats for my son's Eagle Scout Court of Honor!  I was so excited when I found the idea, but they had used a cashew for the beak.  Since I am highly allergic to cashews I searched to find some other candy or something edible that would work.  I came up with caramels.  I cut them in thirds and formed them into a beak.  I thought they would stick to the melted chocolate that the marshmallows are covered in, but not so easy!  So, I made a slit in the marshmallow with a sharp knife and stuck it in there.  That worked great.  So, the rest is pretty self explanatory....Large marshmallow covered in melted white chocolate chips and then rolled in coconut.  Place on top of an oreo cookie (or any other cookie you like) and add beak.  Eyes are from black decorating gel.  Fun, and hopefully will add to the decorations at the court of honor!

Dr Suess Green Eggs and Ham Treat

This fun treat is perfect for a Dr. Suess party! It is made similar to these treats except we used white chocolate melting circles and only green M&Ms! FUN!!

Football Oreo Truffles

 

The perfect tailgate treat!  EASY, too!  Crush up a package of Oreo's then mix in a package of cream cheese.  Form into footballs then dip into melted chocolate.  I used chocolate bark which I found by the cocoa in the baking isle.  I dipped the balls by sticking a plastic fork in one side and swirling it in the chocolate.  As you can see, some didn't get wiped off very good so I had some 'run off' but, no worries, they tasted great!  When hard, pipe on white icing for the strings.  They were a huge hit at the party and taste great!

 

Holiday Pretzel Treats

Not cake, but one of the best holiday treats you can make (and eat!). So easy, too. All you do is lay pretzels on a baking sheet. Any shape you like, but big enough to hold a chocolate kiss. Next, unwrap the kisses and set them on the pretzels. Put these in the oven (350 degrees) for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes until chocolate is soft but not melted. Remove from oven and press an M&M on top! Let cool and ENJOY!!!

Chicken Little Cupcakes

Chicken Little is a cute story about a chicken who thinks the sky is falling because an acorn fell from a tree and hit his head. So, I made chicken cupcakes and acorn treats.

For the acorns, use a donut hole and dip one end in melted chocolate. You could actually use anything you like such as frosting, carmel topping or peanut butter because you are then going to dip that into toffee bits. And, again, you could even use finely chopped nuts. Then, add a small piece of pretzel for the stem. Cute, huh?! These were a big hit at the party!

For the chickens, I used my own cake recipe to make mini cupcakes. I didn't use wrappers because you will be frosting the entire cupcake. For the 'feet' I cut orange jelly candies in half. Honestly, they didn't work very well and if I make these again I would just use orange tic-tacs. I frosted the whole thing with white frosting and rolled it in yellow tinted coconut. Then, piped chocolate frosting eyes and added a peanut for the beak and cinnamon candies for the top.

Brownie "Cake" (a.k.a. Black Forest Sundae)

Okay, so it's not really a cake--but it's my absolute favorite treat so I thought I'd put it on here anyway :) ! First, the homemade brownie hot from the oven topped with cherry pie filling, hot fudge sauce (also warm) and vanilla ice cream. YUMMMMMY!!!

Dirt & Worms Pudding

Okay, so it's not cake. But, it made a fun treat for the fishing party! I just purchased the chocolate pudding cups and topped them with crushed chocolate Oreo's and gummy worms.
