UMMM...WHAT IS THAT?


This is what my super sweet Sweets said to me when I showed him what I made last night. He made the weirdest face, I'm bummed I didn't capture a pic of it. So, ya'll know that I literally suck at baking desserts! I tell you when I cook that I don't know how to make desserts. I seriously can't make anything that falls under the dessert category, i.e. cookies, cake, truffles, cupcakes, custard, jello, candy, hot fudge, etc. I have tried and tried but it is just NOT my cup of tea. However, if you ask me to prepare a meal...HECK YES is my response. I can whip out the whole schmorgesborg in no time flat and it 99% of the time tastes divine! (stay turned for the Easter meal I'm preparing...you'll love it). Last night I decided to try and make these easy "bunnies". Yep - Nope! They tasted great but looked so ridiculous. 


Once again, I suck at making desserts so puhleez don't judge me. I am sensitive these days. I melted semi sweet mixed with dark chocolate over the stove at a simmer. I inserted Popsicle sticks into the rice krispies and dunked them in the chocolate. Once they cooled and hardened, I put some frosting on them. 


As you can see, they all look so silly and so anti-climatic Easter dessert fun. For one, I should have used gel icing instead of frosting so I could have 'painted' the ears and eyes on, but I would only have known that if I actually was good at dessert making. Oh and for two, I probably could have made my own rice krispies but that is just waaayy right field for me. They never would have held up! Anyway, here you have my chocolate covered rice krispies treats with bunny faces! I'm am sure ya'll can come up with a better way and a better design than I did, but at least you have a project with the kiddies for the weekend!


They actually did taste uberly good. Next time, I think I will add a layer of PB before I dunk them in chocolate, if there is a next time!
