Just recently, I started on my stories to ask certain questions to my follower as simple as YES or NO answers.
I was very impressed if some answers, how some question the number of people that would go either way. Somethings that I found it was going to be yes absolutely by everyone that voted to find out that, a lot of people answered no, to questions like: Do you look into people’s portfolio when you are hiring a professional? How can you not?
A few people answered no. I was astonished.
Even questions like, have you been to a party that was not enough food?
Have you been to a party that you did not want to attend?
Have you seen people who showed up to your party that you have no clue who they are?
Tell me is not crazy? But is true some people are crazy… we all have at least one in the family.
SO if you are curious to see some of these questions here is no SHORT from My Youtube.

Looking forward for Saint Patrick’s this year. I have a 13 months Irish/ Brazilian old baby at home, and for the first time, I will be able to dress up my little munchkin into so cute green tutu outfit. lol
Start with approximately 10 cups of popcorn. Make sure you get out all of the un-popped kernels. You don’t want to bite down on one of those! We pop our popcorn on the stove ,but you can use air-popped or microwave. Once you have the popcorn made, salt it liberally. It is so nice to taste the salty with the sweet marshmallow coating. Not quite like Kettle Corn but close.To make the Marshmallow Mixture for the St. Patrick’s Day Popcorn, melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a medium sauce pan. Once the butter is melted, add 3 cups of mini marshmallows. Stir until the marshmallows are melted. Turn off the heat as soon as the last marshmallow has melted.Slowly pour the marshmallow mixture over the salted popcorn. Gently fold the marshmallow mixture in with the popcorn until the popcorn is mostly covered.
The amount of marshmallow mixture you want to add is really up to your own taste. The more you add, the stickier the popcorn will be so we suggest that you add it a bit at a time, stir the popcorn and give it a taste before you add more. Leave a little bit of the marshmallow mixture for the next step.
Now pour the popcorn onto a cookie sheet covered with foil or a silpat liner. Drizzle a little bit of the remaining marshmallow mixture over the popcorn but do not mix it up. You will need the mixture at the top so the candy will have something to stick to.Here is the candy that we added to our St. Patrick’s Day Popcorn. We pulled out the Shamrock Marshmallows from a box of Lucky Charms cereal. We used a mixture of Green M&M’s in three different types – M&M Minis, Regular M&M’s and Pretzel M&M’s. We also used two different kinds of St. Patrick’s Day sprinklesOnce the popcorn is covered in marshmallow mixture it is time to add the candy. But don’t wait too long. You want the marshmallow mixture to still be warm and sticky. Sprinkle the candy onto the popcorn, concentrating on the areas with the most drizzled marshmallow mixture. Allow the St. Patrick’s Day Popcorn to cool. Break apart into pieces and serve.

Today, I am helping out a fellow Instagram follower “Celebratesweetlygifts” . We meet a few years back during the NYC Fashion week 2017. Merley Greenidge is putting together a roaring 20’s fundraiser soiree on February 6 her colors are gold, black white and a touch of red. Since everything she is doing, is based on donations, we will be sending her out a few goodies. If anyone out there would be interested in helping her out please send me a message, doesn’t cost to ask right?? I figure we never know? lol

We’re ushering in the New Year with Sparkling Mini Parfaits~ a festive and party size dessert~ easy to assemble and alter with your ingredients, making them as fancy or simple as you like!
My 2.5 ounce tasting glasses came from Pier 1 several years ago, but versions are readily available at Bed, Bath & Beyond, World Market and even T.J. Maxx & HomeGoods from time to time.
For quick assembly, I started with pound cake from the grocery store I cut in cubes, but you could use any flavor of cake or even cupcakes. Layer your cake of choice with lemon curd, custard or pudding, chocolate fudge or ganache, add some fruit if you like, top with whipped cream and some gold sparkling sugar!
The controversial silver dragées have been used for cake and cookie decoration for years and add a little festive sparkle of silver for New Year’s. I don’t use them on a regular basis so I wasn’t worried about the small quantity in the parfaits, but if you’re concerned, eliminate them and stick with sanding sugar in silver and gold instead.
And gold sparkling sugar is rimming
our toasting glasses in celebration!
I found mine on the cake decorating aisle of Michaels .
What you’ll need: Wilton black chocolate melts Mallow-bits Gold and white sprinkles Glass microwave safe bowl Spatula Parchment Paper Baking sheet Room in the refrigerator
1. Start by clearing room in your refrigerator. Trust me, when you get into this and there’s melted chocolate in random places in your kitchen because you decided to make this with the kiddos, you’re will thank yourself. Clear out a space to put the baking sheet in for later.
2. In your completely dry microwave safe bowl, melt down the black candy melts. Start by zapping it for 1 minute and stir. If the chocolate is not all the way melted, keep microwaving in 10-15 second bursts while stirring in between. You want a smooth consistency.
3. Spread the melted chocolate out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use a spatula to get it nice and smooth. You want a thinner layer so it’ll break up easier.
4. Sprinkle the mini-marshmallows over the chocolate bark. Finish with a health sprinkle of white and gold sparkle sprinkles.
Pop some bottles of champagne for these Champagne Bites. They’re just what the adults want for the holiday season. Make these Champagne Bites for your next party, whether you’re celebrating a birthday, New Year’s Eve or just because!What You Need Select All 25 Servings 3 env. (1/4 oz. each) KNOX Unflavored Gelatine 1/4 cup granulated sugar 1 bottle (750 mL) sweet sparkling white wine 1/4 cup white sparkling decorating sugarADD TO CART ADD TO SHOPPING LISTPlease use alcohol responsibly.
What do you need 25 Servings
3 env. (1/4 oz. each) KNOX Unflavored Gelatine
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 bottle (750 mL) sweet sparkling white wine
1/4 cup white sparkling decorating sugar
Let’s Make It1Combine gelatine and granulated sugar in large microwaveable bowl. Stir in wine. Let stand 3 min. or until gelatine is softened. Microwave on HIGH 3 min. or until gelatine and sugar are dissolved, stirring after each minute.2Pour into 8-inch square pan sprayed with cooking spray.3Refrigerate 3 hours or until firm.4Dip bottom of pan in warm water 15 sec. Unmold gelatine mixture onto cutting board. Cut gelatine into 5 rows, then cut each row into 5 pieces. Top with sprinkles.
first, take three chocolate covered pretzels and arrange them like the image below:
next, add some icing to the inside edges of each one.
place a reese’s peanut butter cup on top, gently pressing down so the icing sticks to it.
add a small dab of the icing to the back of the edible candy eyes and place them on the reese’s peanut butter cup.
do the same thing with the icing and a piece of candy corn – add a little bit of frosting and place it directly underneath the eyes.
now you just need to wait a little while for the icing to set and really work as a glue to keep the whole turkey together. it took about 1/2 an hour for me to be able to pick them up and really stay together.
oh, they’re just the cutest thing to have on your thanksgiving table this year! whether it’s for your own family or for your friends coming to visit, it really does add to the whole thanksgiving atmosphere, not to mention they only took five minutes to put together, so high five for not taking too much time out of your already busy schedule! *high five!*
have a happy chocolate covered pretzel reese’s peanut butter cup-filled thanksgiving, everyone!!
How to make Thanksgiving Turkey Rice Krispie Treats:
I just made a basic batch of my favorite rice krispie treats and pressed them into a 15×10 inch baking sheet. You can use already prepared krispie treats too, if you want (although I must say homemade are way better tasting than store bought and we’ve talked a lot about how to make rice krispie treats at home).
Using a 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter to make the circles, after the treats have firmed up, cut all your circles.
Feel free to use cocoa krispies to make some brown turkeys. Or use Indian corn to give a little more color to your birds.
For the “face” I used a Ghirardelli chocolate melting wafers (have you tried these yet??? OMG). But you can use melted chocolate piped onto the treat or you can use an upside down Hershey Kiss, or even a Reese’s PB cup. I would have given my bird a red waddle, but can you believe I had no red candy in the house? Or red candy melts (I happened to use them earlier in the week for a Christmas treat coming soon…true story).
We came up with this fun Turkey Cupcake Cones the other day and my boys and their friends just loved them! They are easy to make a great edible craft that the kids can help make as well! These would also be a fun Thanksgiving treat for a school class party! A great way to get rid of Halloween candy as well!
