Rolo Pretzel Turtles
Salty and sweet is definitely one of my favorite flavor combinations and this recipe is possibly the easiest ever, three ingredients, no mixing, and only 2 minutes baking. With how easy this recipe is, I’m not entirely sure it can be called a recipe. Still, it is super tasty and festive for the holiday season. If you want to make these any other time than around the holidays, just substitute the m&ms for pecan halves. If you are not a fan of caramel, you can total substitute the Rolos for another chocolate candy, a Hershey Kiss or a mini Reeses Peanut Butter Cup. The key with these pretzel turtles is…

Microwave Peanut Brittle
I am on a microwaving candy kick at the moment. After mastering fudge in the microwave, I decided peanut brittle was the next only choice. Anything with toffee flavors is a love in my book.

This recipe takes less than 20 minutes. If you love peanut brittle and want to try your hand at making it in the microwave, then check this recipe out. Do you love peanut brittle too? Have you ever tried making it in the microwave?…

Amaretto Fudge
I LOVE the combination of chocolate and cherry flavors. Any dessert I can create with these flavors is a win. While chocolate fudge is typically a staple for most holiday baking, I knew I wanted to create a twist. The best part of this recipe is it is all made in the microwave. No double boilers on the stove, no candy thermometers. It is seriously the easiest fudge ever. Also, if you aren’t a fan of amaretto or cherry flavoring, you can totally omit the amaretto flavoring, or even switch it out for a different flavoring like peppermint. What are some of your favorite fudge flavor combinations? Have you ever…

AND…Of course, I had to dive in and try it out for myself. While I do love me some candy making/art, I do not have the patience to create perfect pieces. If you search, there are some truly beautiful hot chocolate bombs that have been created. Making the hot chocolate bombs isn’t difficult at all, it is just time-consuming with having to wait between some steps. HUGE TIP: Use an electric griddle to not only melt the edges of…
