Crushed peppermint stick, dipped in dark chocolate and the fun of the oreo

It was delicious! I had been hearing that Trader joe's oreos were really good so I needed to check them out. I discovered they were perfect for dipping in a dark chocolate (72%) and then rolling in different toppings. I chose a mix of crushed nibs, cinnamon and black pepper for one and crushed peppermint stick candies for the other. Perfect for a summer dessert because they had the joy of the chocolate and the adventure of chocolate flavors paired with other things. Easy too. Now when I sit still to upload pictures from my new camera tonight-you'll see how beautiful it looks too.

Have a great day

Garnishing desserts with fruit and flowers

Garnishing desserts with fresh flowers and plating them with fruit...it's so nice to have summer return. It was an amazing spring and I'm emerging from the Show with great memories and exciting plans for next year, already taking shape.
Let's figure out what to bake this week to go with a picnic...
