crunchy carmel corn

 My friend, Rachel once brought this to a yw party and I could not believe that 1. it was homemade and 2. it was sooo delicious! She gave me the recipe and now every time I make it, I think of her. Even if she does live clear across the country. People love this wherever I go! Thanks Rach!

chocolate covered raspberries

I got this lovely idea from V Chocolates. I had a huge basket of raspberries from Costco so I decided to see if I could make them myself. First you need tiny cupcake papers. Then, just melt some good milk chocolate chips (I like ghirardelli,) and while the chocolate is still warm, drop in some raspberries. Then drizzle with white chocolate (melted chips) and put into the fridge until ready to serve. I'm usually not a huge raspberry fan, but these flavors together are delicious!
