Last night after dinner I was randomly talking with the mister about these bad boys. Then I realized I had all the ingredients to make them and just went for it! I followed this easy recipe and they turned out great. All you do is mix your coconut flakes with sweet condensed milk and add a little splash of almond flavor. Baking time was super short too.This recipe didn’t call for chocolate, I just really wanted to go the chocolate route. This last step was totally inspired by one of my favorite coffee shops in town, Colectivo. They sell these and we both have been hooked which is how I think the whole conversation started. The fact I made them at home got me lots of wife points HA! It was my very first time making them and to be honest, it wont be the last. What about you? Are you a fan of coconut macaroons?

Last week after a snowfall (just the second one of the season), I decided to venture out of the house with my camera to do some exploring. From side country roads to downtown. This is the result…

I came across these cute little miniature trees at Joann’s Fabric. The instant I found them I knew what I could do. Why not use them while gift wrapping? Well, after getting some gifts I was way too excited to bring my idea to life. I don’t know about you, but to me gift wrapping is always my favorite part. It’s so relaxing and kinda therapeutic. I truly enjoy seeing smiles the minute someone receives a gift, not because of what they’re receiving but because of the wrapping HA! Yeah I know, I’m crazy and I know it!
Anyways, back to the tutorial… you will need some colorful twine, cute miniature trees and wrapping paper. I created mine with craft paint + craft paper. Simply stamp it as you wish, I made dots using a plastic screw HA! Once your gift is wrapped all you gotta do is tie a knot around the base of your tree when wrapping the twine around your present. It doesn’t get any simpler than that! Take a look below. Tell me they’re not awesome? I truly love the simplicity of them. Happy holiday friends!

I decided to make these bars yesterday to surprise the mister and boy were they good. Two Peas & Their Pod strike again! I had most of the ingredients, plus I added some cocoa powder in the mix at the last minute since I didn’t have a full bag of chocolate chips. Oh my god, they turned out amazing and super moist. I think I finally have this baking thing down. Who am I kidding? It was pure luck! HA! Give it shot if you are in the mood for something pumpkin flavor, besides a “pumpkin spice latte”. I must confess, I don’t like those. I rather have these muffins and now these bars! Yum! What is your favorite pumpkin treat? Happy baking friends!
