These have got to be one of my very favorite party desserts. They are so cute and so delicious and really wow your friends and family.

This tuna salad is revolutionary. I know that may sound ridiculous, but I am totally not kidding.

S’mores Truffles

September 2, 2009

I absolutely love anything s’mores. There is just something about that chocolate graham crackery goodness. I found these on my friend Liesl’s blog, Liesl’s Confection Dissection. I can’t begin to tell you how phenomonal these truffles were!! They were so delicate tasting and so full of flavor and sweetness…so decadent. These were EXTREMELY messy to [...]
