Cookie Thief

I admit it! These cookies came out of a box. The box where the cookie dough comes out in perfect pre-cut circles just waiting for you to turn on your oven so you can regret twenty minutes later the chocolatey goodness you just consumed. Yeah---that kind of box. Before you yell at me---I swear I tried! I gave it my all before I resorted to breaking the one and only baker's commandment---Thou shall not bake anything that comes out of a box. But, I couldn't help it okay?! I wanted something sweet! Something that did not involve getting flour all over my face and splattering egg yolks on the wall (Don't judge.). Plus, they came out really pretty and I wanted to show you, guys! Is that such a bad crime? The baking police don't have to know do they?! It can be our little secret---we box cookie bakers got each other's backs, right?   

Well if you don't have my back then guess what?! No cookies for you~ 

Okay, okay all joking aside I just thought the photos came out really pretty. Hey, who's going to say no to double fudge brownie cookies (yeah, I said double fudge.)---even if the so called cookies came out of a box. But, they're cookies none the less! With the holidays fast approaching lots of shops have been releasing limited edition sweets that you can pop in the oven and bake yourself mess free. I just couldn't help myself---especially when those cunning marketing folks pull me in by stating these flavors are limited edition. It's like they're giving me no choice! Although, nothing beats home made sometimes I need a little help here and there to get my sweet fix. The season of sweet treats quickly approaches us~

Do I have any baking babes out there? Do you believe in home made or the highway or are you like me who doesn't mind indulging in the forbidden box once in a while? 

Oh, and if you were wondering---yes, I ate more cookies than I should have. 

Not ashamed.

The Milkshake of All Milkshakes

This milkshake isn't for the faint hearted. Creamy vanilla ice cream blended with rich and chocolaty nutella, dark and delicious fudge, crunchy oreos, and last but not least layered upon layers with Reeses peanut butter cups. It's the dark side, darling and this drenched in chocolate drink has got your name on it. Drink it if you dare~

♡What You Need♡
♡Blender
♡Glass Cup/Jar

♡Ingredients♡
♡vanilla ice cream
♡nutella
♡oreos
♡fudge OR chocolate syrup
♡mini reeces peanut butter cups (mini size is only needed if you plan to decorate!)

Optional: 
♡whipped cream
♡milk (if you don't like a thick milkshake you can add some milk to make it the consistency you enjoy!)

Note: I did not mention ingredient amounts because there really is no right or wrong amounts! It really all depends on preference and the number of servings you plan to make~

♡Directions♡

1. Before you begin making your milkshake lets prepare our ingredients. Crush your oreos and recees peanut butter cups. Set them in a separate bowl for later.

2. Now comes the messy and fun part---with a knife take some nutella and begin coating the outer rim of your jar or cut. Once the rim is completely coated with nutella begin placing your crushed oreos and reeces peanut butter cups around the rim. This is definitely an optional step, but if you plan to serve this to guests this will sure to knock their socks off and earn you the title of hostess queen~
TIP: Place your cup/jar in the fridge so it can keep cool while you make the milkshake. This also locks everything in place!) 

3. In your blender place your icecream, nutella, fudge/chocolate syrup, oreos, and reeces peanut butter cups---close the lid and begin blending! Now if you're not a big fan of thick milkshakes add your milk while blending to get your preferred consistency. Add a little bit at a time---you don't want to water down your milkshake too much!

4. After you are happy with the thickness of your milkshake pour it into your jar/cup.

5. Optional: Top with a generous amount of fluffy whipped cream and reeces peanut butter cups!

6. Cheers&Enjoy~

I wish I had the original recipe to link you back to, but I give all the credit to food network for this chocolate baby wouldn't be born if it weren't for their secret snapchat recipes. This is so easy to throw together in the kitchen and you'll swear the chocolate heavens opened and this milkshake floated down from the silkiest of chocolate rivers. When I say easy---I mean super EASY! Don't let my long winded directions scare you off I just wanted to make sure I covered all the chocolate bases~

Are you ready to join the dark side?
We have chocolate. LOTS OF IT.

3 Ingredient Sundae | The Healthy Edition

Hello, you lovely, lovely lot~ I am so very sorry for my mini disappearance. . .I swear I don't plan these! I've been quite under the weather these past three days. Nothing, but cuddling more like rolling under the covers and pain meds (Darn you mother nature! Darn you!) for this little missy. But, if we're being honest here there's no better medicine than ice cream! 

So what better way to pick up my rhythm and blues than some homemade ice cream! Now I'm pretty sure you've all heard of it---the ol' banana 'ice cream' trick. But, oh how I swear by it---it really tastes like the real stuff! If you haven't boarded the banana boat the time is now~ FROZEN BANANAS = ICE CREAM! Glorious, glorious ice cream. And, how happy your tummy will be when I tell you this little recipe only takes three ingredients~ Yes, my little ice cream loves your ears haven't deceived you. Three ingredients. Did I mention there's peanut butter?   

Ingredients 

-3 bananas

-2 Tablespoons of peanut butter

-Toppings (some friendly suggestions: pistachios, drizzle of chocolate syrup, sprinkles, the possibilities are just ENDLESS!) 

Directions

1. Slice your bananas and place them on a plate or tray in the freezer over night or for at least thirty minutes if you just can't possibly wait (I don't blame you!) 

2. In a blender place your bananas and peanut butter and blend them together. Stop your blender every couple of minutes so you don't burn out your poor blender. Bananas are thick, man! 

3. Add your toppings and enjoy your guilt free sundae~ 

Can you believe that's it?! Me neither. By the way don't let my photo deceive you! I'm pretty disappointed in it myself, but there's so many snaps you can take before your ice cream becomes a sad puddle. This was captured mid melt and I honestly couldn't wait any longer to get my hands on to this sweet treat. Forgive me! But, I promise you this recipe is fool proof to get you some creamy guilt free ice cream in no time!  

Do you have any guilt free recipes that you know? Because, I'm itching to get back into the kitchen to try them! This sweet tooth knows no mercy~

Sweets And Studies

Hello, lovely! I recently went to my local bakery in town and there was no way my sweet tooth could pass this up. With midterms so near (2 days! Eeek~) it wouldn't hurt to treat myself, right? Or is too early to start congratulating myself? Well with all these all nighters a girl needs all the sugar she can get. I'm being healthy per usual~

 

Well if you were wondering how this little tiramisu tasted it was absolutely delicious. It was my first time trying this and I can proudly say that I was not disappointed. I ate every last bite (Oops!). I know this post was short, but I've got to get back to hitting the books. *whispers* Someone save me! Stay tuned though lovelies because I have a few fun posts planned right after these dreaded midterms are over. 

So what do you do to prepare for your exams? What are your sweet tooth cravings? Comment below and share all the sugary goodness~
