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 …

St. Patrick’s Day may still be a few weeks away, but today? Today’s your lucky day! Or at least, it’s your lucky day if you subscribe to the idea that a small plant has the capability to alter the positive effects of your interactions with the world around you… I’m talking about a four-leaf clover, …
Edible glitter is an actual thing. I don’t know about you guys, but with the holidays approaching my Pinterest boards are filling up with all kinds of yummy looking desserts.
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, …
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 …
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 …
This is the simplest thing you will ever make for Valentine’s Day. After all the hand-crafted cards and macaroni hearts and special classy dinners, all you will have left is a strong desire for something salty to counteract the sudden influx of candy in your life. These Valentine’s Day Chocolate Drizzled Pretzels are so easy they …
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 …
Kids suck. I get it. If you’re lucky you might only have to yell at them to get off your lawn once or twice a year. But when October 31st rolls around all the neighborhood ragamuffins have been given carte blanche to roam as they please, trodding across your carefully cultivated fescue. The worst part …
Halloween is my jam. My favorite childhood TV shows had me convinced that I needed to live in the Addams family’s house and have Beetlejuice as a best friend. Unfortunately I grew up in a house that was not Halloween friendly. The front door was on the side, down a winding path and through a …
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 …
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 …
Even if you don’t have time to stand in front of a hot stove, stirring an even hotter pot, you can still make chocolaty goodness in your own home. These 25 Slow Cooker Chocolate Candy Recipes will make great gifts for friends, snacks for late night movie watching, and desserts that can be enjoyed year …
It should be noted that despite it’s name, butterbeer has only a very slight alcohol content. It’s been known to get house elves drunk, but only because their bodies are so tiny and they have no tolerance whatsoever on account they rarely drink the stuff. For wizards and muggles, butterbeer merely has a delicious flavor …
Gobble, gobble! How adorable is this Turkey Pretzel Jar? With yummy, sprinkle covered “feathers” sticking out, this is sweet treat is perfect for dressing up your holiday table or for bringing in for a teacher snack. Easy to make and so much fun to give, this is an affordable DIY that makes a pretty grand impression. …
Every year I go through the same thing…and so do you. Here’s the 100% honest reason why my candy (and yours) will never see Halloween. Why do we do it to ourselves—give in to the temptation of buying those delectable bite-size bits over-flowing on store shelves weeks before Halloween? We know the baby Butterfingers aren’t for …
Summer is almost over which means we need to start thinking of Fall. I fall in love with Fall every year. Fall crafts, Fall Recipes, and of course Fall weather (did I just say “fall” that many times?). So naturally, I wanted to make a sweet fall treat and let me tell you, this Granola Candy …
My nephew loves yellow. LOVES it. It’s his favorite color, his favorite socks, he even wants a yellow room at some point (but he shares with his brother, so let’s face it – probably not going to happen). So is it any wonder he’s gone completely mad for the Minions in all their bright yellow …
I started making candy when I was still in the single digits (maybe eight?) and living in Louisiana. There was something amazing about watching simple ingredients transform into these tasty treats. Old Fashioned Peanut Brittle was one of my favorites because of the way it goes from being a syrup to foam to the hard …
With the end of the school year fast approaching, there are so many things to be serious about. Grades, graduation, summer plans, child care once school is out. These are all very serious things. Here at Totally The Bomb, though, we’ve been seriously thinking about the best homemade candy recipes and wanted to bring them …
