Candy Corn Fudge Will Be Your New Favorite Thing!

Death By Dessert

We all have our favorite Halloween candies. My mom is all about the chocolates. My brother would straight up steal anything sour out of your bag and pretend like he was innocent, and me? I'm all about the candy corn. Truth is, though, I think it's just the look that I really love. I mean, those hard, weirdly waxy little candies don't taste all that great to me, but something about eating them one layer at a time is sublimely satisfying. So this Halloween, instead of sucking down pounds of candy, I'm going to make this Candy Corn Fudge. It's got those amazing layers, has all the gorgeous Keep Reading >>>

DIY Sheet Cake For One

Death By Dessert

If you're like me, you're pretty anxious right now. The world sucks. It's scary, there's threats of war, of nukes, of nazi's (who apparently worry about mosquitos, judging from the tiki torches), and it just sucks. It all sucks. Know what, though? We're not the only ones who think it sucks. During the summer edition of Weekend Update, Tina Fey came on and told us about an amazing new strategy for dealing with the stresses and anxieties we are all facing right now: Sheetcaking. Tina suggested we go to our nearest African American owned or Jewish owned bakery and buy a sheet cake and instead of Keep Reading >>>

My Husband Never Tried A Funnel Cake Before Now…How Is That Even Possible?

Death By Dessert

I grew up doing rodeo, which meant that carnivals were my playground. Carnie food was my vending machine. There are a number of foods that people associate with the state fair or a traveling carnival that I associate with my childhood. All of it. Some foods you can get just about anywhere. Cornie dogs, cotton candy and popcorn are some things that aren't just for the fair. But there's one thing that, for the most part, has remained a staple of fair food: the funnel cake. And somehow my husband had never tried one...how is that even possible? My Husband Never Tried A Funnel Cake Keep Reading >>>

If You Don’t Like Peeps, We Can’t Be Friends

Death By Dessert

Peeps. Everyone has an opinion on Peeps. There has never been a more controversial topic around the family Easter table that has resulted in so much thrown ham. They are either a perennial Easter favorite or a much maligned “last treat in the basket” candy. Some adults have fond memories of these sugar coated marshmallows shaped like little baby chicks and bunnies. Others have fond memories of microwaving those suckers until they explode in a miniature reenactment of the last scene in the 1984 classic Ghostbusters film. Here's the thing: if you don't like Peeps, I'm not sure we can be friends. Keep Reading >>>

Unicorn Macarons Are The Magic Dessert You Need Right Now!

Death By Dessert

Unicorn desserts are nothing new (check out these unicorn poop cookies), but these unicorn macarons are basically the coolest confections of all time. A photo posted by Mac Lab Bakery (@mac_lab) on Dec 7, 2016 at 9:27am PST They're the latest trend in desserts, and I, for one couldn't be happier. Or feel more magical.

I Hate To Break It To You, But, Your Pumpkin-Flavored Everything Isn’t Even Really Pumpkin

Breakfast Is The Most Important Meal Of The Day

Your Life Until Now Has Been A LIE! That's right. Your Nana's a liar. The grocery store is a liar. Even freakin' Starbucks has been LYING to you. And you've been eating it up. Literally. I Hate To Break It To You, But, Your Pumpkin-Flavored Everything Isn't Even Really Pumpkin Every year you wait in line for those green and black doors to open wide and for the world to proclaim: Pumpkin Spice Season Is Upon Us!

Lick The Bowl Clean, No Churn Patriotic Ice Cream

Death By Dessert

The best part about celebrating Independence Day in the summer (aside from the fact that, you know, it's always on the 4th of July) is that summer = ice cream. And let's face it, ice cream is basically the best dessert ever. Only problem is, the store-bought stuff isn't quite festive enough for 'Murica Day. Don't worry, my fellow Americans, I've got the perfect solution for you: No Churn 4th of July Ice Cream. What You'll Need to Make No Churn 4th of July Ice Cream: 2 cups cold heavy whipping cream 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk 1/3 cup sugar 1 tub blue frosting Red Keep Reading >>>

Sweet Treat: Strawberry Smoothie & Granola Parfait

Breakfast Is The Most Important Meal Of The Day

I'm trying to eat healthier. Stop laughing, really! I am! But it's hard...especially with all the delicious sweets that seem to surround me during my most vulnerable times. It's okay, though, because I'm going to plan ahead with this super delicious Strawberry Smoothie & Granola Parfait! Strawberries are so great for you with all that vitamin C, but once you throw in the yogurt and that dense granola, it's like I'm basically eating a salad. Okay, not really. You should never listen to me for health advice...food advice, yes. But not health. And since I AM so into the amazing food stuffs, Keep Reading >>>

Chocolate Race Cars

Death By Dessert

I was one of those kids who loved to collect Hot Wheels cars. I had to have all the colors, all the styles, and all the tracks to go with them. To be fair, it didn't really matter if they were actual Hot Wheels brand cars or not - every car was welcome - but if I had known it would take me about 20 years or so to finally find the perfect type of car, I think even my kid-sized brain would have been smart enough to just not even start. But here it is, after all this time - these Chocolate Race Cars would have been the perfect addition to my childhood collection - for at least a few Keep Reading >>>

So since you've read the title of this post, I bet you think you know what you're in for with this recipe. You're thinking, "Oh yeah, another Easter post with little baby chicks in it, yeah sure that's cute, I've seen that before..." But y'all need to understand something about these cookies, okay: I was not prepared. I was not prepared for how cute these things would turn out to be. I made the stupid things and I was not prepared. I mean, really. These Easter Chick Sugar Cookies have no right being this adorable.

Wine Infused Strawberries

Death By Dessert

There's something about strawberries that makes me think of warmth, sweetness, and the changing of the seasons. Or maybe that's just the wine in these Wine Infused Strawberries that has me feeling really good about life today. Seriously, I didn't think the concept of chocolate-covered strawberries, as simple as it is, could ever be improved upon. But I suppose if there's anything I should have learned about life so far, it's that the addition of wine to just about anything is a recipe for success. And speaking of recipes...let me give you the rundown on how to step up your strawberry Keep Reading >>>

Hoppin’ Good Easter Trail Mix – Because Those Peeps Won’t Eat Themselves…

Death By Dessert

Easter is on the horizon, and with it come the squishiest and most confusing of candies: Peeps. And I have to admit, I have a little bit of an obsession with these strange marshmallow-y things. But since it's not really socially acceptable to sit around just eating row after row of Peeps because you may or may not have an addiction to them, I had to come up with something a little different. Enter: Easter Trail Mix. And if I sneak a few more Peeps in there than are really necessary, well...that's just a recipe modification.

Springtime Lemon Cookies

Death By Dessert

You know what gets me through the long winter months? I mean, besides multiple layers, my favorite hoodie, and a ridiculously high heating bill? It's the promise of spring on the horizon, of flowers blooming and birds singing and... Oh, don't give me that look. Even a Totally the Bomb writer is allowed to get all sappy once in a while. You don't think we've got the switch labelled "copious amounts of sarcasm" just flipped on at all times, do you? Did I mention that heating bill? Anyway, what I was trying to get at with all that nonsense about the wonders of spring is that I've got this recipe Keep Reading >>>

Strawberry Lemon Shortcake Cups

Death By Dessert

Strawberry shortcake is one of those classic desserts that I remember having so many times as a kid. My family used to cheat and buy the premade shortcakes from the store, and those are okay in a pinch. But then I met my best friend in college. Or more importantly, I met my best friend in college's mom, who ruined me for all other strawberry shortcakes for the rest of my life - I'm talking homemade pound cake, homemade whipped cream, fresh strawberries in some mysterious syrup that was so addictive I was tempted to sell it on the black market. Unfortunately, she's one of those people who Keep Reading >>>

St. Patrick’s Day Oreos

Death By Dessert

Everyone makes such a big deal about Valentine's Day. I suppose it is the biggest holiday after Christmas, but there's only so many red and pink hearts I can handle before I start questioning my sanity. So while everyone else is fretting about their relationship status and buying overpriced chocolate and teddy bears, I'm always patiently waiting for the holiday that comes after it: St. Patrick's Day. What can I say? I'm a little less romance and a little more rowdy. So in preparation for that big day, I'm planning a bunch of different recipes for my epic party, including these St. Patrick's Keep Reading >>>

It's time to take your revenge the elements - sweet revenge, that is.

Elsa’s Frozen Candies with Coconut Buttercream Filling

Death By Dessert

Some people might call what's happening outside in the Northern Hemisphere a "winter wonderland." Personally, I like to call it various slightly inappropriate words that I'm not allowed to use on this website. Either way, we can probably all agree on the fact that it's rather...frozen out there. Luckily, there are several ways to combat the cold weather, the most important of which is hiding out under a pile of blankets in bed eating enough sugary treats to make a room full of school kids jealous. But which treats should you try? Well, Elsa's Frozen Candies with Coconut Buttercream Filling Keep Reading >>>

Valentine’s Day Sugar Cookie Dough Bark

Death By Dessert

There's something about sugar cookies that just make them perfect for holiday celebrations. So obviously, I decided not to make any of them for Valentine's Day this year. No way, not me. 2016 is the year of experimentation (I had a year like that during college too...we see where that got me), so a few heart-shaped sugar cookies with red frosting just aren't going to cut it. Instead, I made this Valentine's Day Sugar Cookie Dough Bark. Same sugar cookie goodness, but with a twist.

Candy-Dipped Valentine’s Day Oreos

Death By Dessert

Now I don't know about you, but I'm a little tired of getting the same old heart-shaped box of chocolates every single year on Valentine's Day. There's only so many times you can open the box before the mystery of which chocolate contains the delicious peanut butter filling is lost because you know exactly which one it is. I mean really, if I'm going to continue this tradition of drowning my sorrows over another year of being single with a bottle of cheap wine and enough chocolate and candy to make a trick-or-treater jealous, I should at least switch things up in the food department a bit, Keep Reading >>>

Oreo Truffles

Death By Dessert

Valentine's Day hasn't always been my favorite holiday. I remember in high school everyone would receive carnations in class and I'd sit there all grumbly and awkward about the fact that my crush didn't notice me. Wish I could say I've grown up some since then, but to be honest, even when I have a date for Valentine's Day, I find myself anxious and nervous and, well, honestly, just wanting to break something. That's why I love these Oreo Truffles. The very first step? Crush the Oreos. YES! I'm not saying you have to attack these with the same vigor I do, but just know that I'll never judge if Keep Reading >>>
