What ingredients do you need to make an easy Valentine’s Dessert? 36 Golden Oreo cookies 1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese (softened to room temperature) Pink gel food colouring Dark chocolate melts Pearly pink sprinkles How do you make Easy No-Bake Valentine’s Truffles You will need a food processor and a microwave to make this dessert. Simply put the golden Oreo cookies into a food processor and pulse them until they are crumbs (don’t remove the cream). Then, in a separate bowl, add the softened cream cheese and mix until smooth. Next, add pink gel food colouring to the dough. Blend until the colour is solid. Keep reading for the final touches! This recipe is so easy to make, only requires a few ingredients and it’s no-bake! Firstly place thirty six whole Oreo cookies into a food processor (the whole cookie). Pulse the cookies until they become fine crumbs. Secondly, place the crumbs into a medium mixing bowl and add the softened cream cheese, mix with a hand mixer until well blended. Next, add in two-three drops of food colouring to the dough. Blend with a spatula. On a piece of parchment paper chill the pink dough in the refrigerator for 5 min. This will make the next step easier. Remove from the fridge and scoop the mixture into balls, a tablespoon works great for this! Roll the mixture into a ball shape and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Continue until all of the mixture is used. Place the rolled balls into the freezer for 15min. While the balls are chilling, melt the dark chocolate in the microwave. Melting times may vary, be sure to follow the melting instructions on the chocolate you have. Once the Oreo balls have chilled, remove them from the freezer.

Remove from the fridge and scoop the mixture into balls, a tablespoon works great for this! Roll the mixture into a ball shape and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Continue until all of the mixture is used.

Place the rolled balls into the freezer for 15min.

While the balls are chilling, melt the dark chocolate in the microwave. Melting times may vary, be sure to follow the melting instructions on the chocolate you have.

Cherry Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing https://www.champagneandsugarplums.com/cherry-cupcakes-with-cream-cheese-icing/ https://www.champagneandsugarplums.com/cherry-cupcakes-with-cream-cheese-icing/#respond Fri, 08 Jan 2021 22:47:36 +0000 http://192.168.0.28:8010/?p=5089 We bet you’ll love these delicious cherry cupcakes topped with almond flavoured cream cheese icing! These cupcakes are even filled with a sweet surprise that will leave everyone smiling. The secret is cherry pie filling and vanilla cake batter. Both easy to make or buy! The cupcakes are topped with a light cream cheese icing infused with almond extract – the almond flavour really compliments the cherries. These are the perfect cupcakes to celebrate the season of love. This blog post may contain affiliate links. What does that mean? We may get a small commission if you make a purchase using our links, which helps us to keep posting new holiday content every week. What You’ll Need: Vanilla cake mix – from a box works – or check out this recipe from our friends at Amanda’s Cookin’ Cherry pie filling Unsalted butter Cream cheese Almond extract Salt Powered sugar Measuring cups and spoons Muffin tin Cupcake liners Heart candies or sprinkles Mixer Icing bag Large circle icing tip (Wilson 2A) Pink gel food colouring Cherry Cupcakes Heat the oven to 350. Prepare a muffin tin (or two, this recipe will make two dozen cupcakes easily) with liners. Make your vanilla cake batter using either a premade box mix, your favourite recipe, or we recommend this tasty creation from Amanda’s Cookin’. Spoon 3 tbsps of vanilla batter into each liner. Spoon 1/2 tbsp of pie filling into the centre of the liner, on top of the vanilla batter. Bake as your recipe directs and cool completely before decorating. TIP: Rushing the cooling step is so tempting but with this icing recipe, any heat will melt the frosting as fast as you’re piping it, so best to be patient here. 🙂 Cream Cheese Icing Combine softened butter and cream cheese in an electric mixer and beat until creamy, about two minutes. Add the almond extract and then salt, mix well. Gradually add the powdered sugar until completely combined and the icing has a medium stiff consistency. To make the stripe effect, use a paint brush to brush gel food colouring (liquid colouring will not work for this effect) in four lines running along the inside of a piping bag. Remember to add the icing tip into the bag before you paint the lines inside – it can be added after but it’s messy business. Fill the bag with icing and then start decorating! It’s best to push the first bit of icing through the tip until the colouring comes out in the right pattern. If you use the entire bag of icing and need to refill, don’t worry! The icing pattern should continue to work even after new icing has been added. Frost your cupcakes using a classic swirl. Start on the side of the cupcake and pipe three or four circles around the cupcake, each circle getting slightly smaller until you have a cone shape. Decorate with sprinkles or candy hearts and then your all done! We hope you love these sweet Cherry Cupcakes as much as we do! For more Valentine ideas check out our Hearts Cards Garland, Brownies in a Bottle, and our easy Heart Puzzle Craft. Happy Crafting!

Hearts and Arrows Valentine’s Day Wreath https://www.champagneandsugarplums.com/yarn-felt-hearts-and-arrows-valentines-day-wreath/ Tue, 28 Apr 2020 23:19:22 +0000 http://192.168.0.28:8010/?p=1162 We love festive decor, especially festive outdoor decor! Having a festive, DIY Valentine’s Day Wreath on the front door is a special way to welcome visitors. We created this charming yarn and felt Valentine’s Day Wreath, and we are smitten with it! This blog post may contain affiliate links. What does that mean? We may get a small commission if you make a purchase using our links, which helps us to keep posting new holiday content every week. With Valentine’s Day around the corner, now is the perfect time to get started on this year’s lovely decorations. This wreath is easy to make, the perfect craft for a chilly day in front of the fire or when watching a movie. With minimum effort here comes maximum impact – this sweet wreath will make you and your guests feel the love! What You’ll Need: – An embroidery hoop or foam wreath base– Yarn in three colours– Felt in beige and light and dark pink– A straight-ish branch– Scissors– Hot Glue Gun– A small piece of ribbon or lace Firstly, tie the first colour of yarn around the hoop. Start wrapping the yarn around the hoop, keeping the loops tight against each other. Cover half of the hoop and then switch to the next colour. To do this, tie the two strings together and continue wrapping with tight loops, covering the tails as you go. Add as much of the accent colour as you like, we added a stripe every couple inches. Pop outside and find a neighborhood tree to lend you a branch. Clip off any twigs it may have. Cut out two matching hearts from the dark pink felt. I free-handed these hearts by folding the felt in half to make sure the heart was symmetrical, but you could also trace a wood shape, or use a stencil if you like. Glue the hearts onto the narrower end of the branch, one on top of the other to create an arrowhead. Halfway there… Repeat the heart steps, but draw half of a parallelogram instead. This will make the feathers, so glue these two pieces on the wider end of the branch. Tip: Only use glue next to the branch. Try not to get the on the edges of the ‘feathers’, it will make it easier to cut the ‘feathers’ in angled lines, about 1/4″ wide, all the way along the tail on both sides. Add a small bow on the accent yarn. This will finish the tail end nice and neatly. Loop a ribbon or some lace around the top of the wreath for hanging. If your using thin ribbon, you can simply tie the ends together to form a circle however, if you are using thicker ribbon or lace (like we did) you will need to glue the loop in place with some hot glue. Use some more glue to attach the arrow to the hoop. Then, use the same technique from earlier to cut out some different sized hearts in various colours. Attach them to the bottom of the Valentine’s Day Wreath. Your guests will LOVE coming over and knocking on your door. Happy crafting! For another great Valentine’s Day project certainly check out our Easy Valentine’s Day puzzle heart.
