Cupcakes!
I love to make my own frosting. Sometimes, I like to take shortcuts. Tonight, I bought Duncan Hines Frosting Creations in Cotton Candy and Chocolate Mint. It's plain frosting with a wide variety of flavor packets.

In closing, cupcakes are awesome.

Pull-Apart Bread (looks like a Bloomin' Onion)
I got this recipe from Pinterest. It was originally from this blog.
I used some substitutions. I couldn't find thinly sliced Monterey Jack cheese, and the line at the deli was insane, so I opted for Sargento's thinly sliced Provolone cheese. The recipe called for 12-16 oz, so I bought 2 7 oz packs. I didn't even use the whole first pack, because I couldn't fit anymore cheese in the slits. Stop and Shop was out of scallions, so I used the chopped (dried) chives from the spice cabinet. I also used sesame seeds instead of poppy seeds.
I was thinking about it and there are so many options for fillings. You could do a pizza bread, a cinnamon apple bread, or any kind of cheese. The possibilities are endless!

Cake Batter Rice Krispies Treats
I love cake batter flavored things and I love Rice Krispies Treats. When I came across this recipe on Pinterest, I knew it was a must-try! The website that this originally came from (before someone pinned it to Pinterest) has quite a few recipes on my must-try list. This will be an ongoing kitchen experiment!

Cookie Dough Dip
Here's a recipe that I got from my boss. We had this at a work function not too long ago. It was a tasty treat! (So tasty, in fact, that my co-worker and I had more of it today!)
1 Stick of butter, softened
8 oz cream cheese
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup confectioners sugar
2 tbsp. vanilla extract
mini chocolate chips
mix everything together and serve with graham crackers, teddy grahams, or any other sweet treat of your choice.
I was thinking about it, and this might work as a truffle filling too!
