Award Winning Chocolate Marshmallow Pillow Cookies

9:38 pm ByFiled UnderFood Photography, Random Tidbits

I have to share these flavor packed cookies with you! They are semi homemade, but as decadent as can be. It’s no wonder the recipe won a prize in 2010.  I’m grateful for Pinterest and the yummy recipes that I’ve found on it. These cookies are easy to make and take hand held desserts to a whole new level for sure. I can’t even describe them to you…you must try them if you want to know what I’m talking about. I used chocolate chip cookie mixed instead of double chocolate chip and they turned out great.
So sorry for the bad cell phone pics…but I didn’t want anybody missing out on these treats. They would make a perfect winter splurge or gift for any chocolate lover!

Yummy Obsessions! Cake Balls, Murrieta Food Photographer

2:02 pm ByFiled UnderFood Photography, Personal Photography

I have to QUIT making these. I make them about twice a week now for different people who have yummy obsessions that involve these little heavenly bites of happiness. I’ve been getting special requests for different flavors too. These shown are all filled with sweet funfetti cake batter & buttercream frosting. Cake balls or cake truffles (as some call them) are absolutely addicting. I can’t believe I managed to only eat ONE out of this batch. Have you tried making some yet? BEWARE! You may become obsessed.

Chocolate dipped white cream filled cookies? Yes. That had to happen this week too!

Someday I’ll actually remember to cut one of these delights in half so you can see the soft centers. I just don’t know when that day will be so check back once in a while. If you want to know how to make these fun mini desserts visit this earlier post of mine for links to the master of all dessert recipes…Bakerella!

Pumpkin Caramel Bites – Murrieta Food Photographer

10:33 am ByFiled UnderFood Photography, Personal Photography

These are such a cute fall dessert! I served them at my “Meet, Munch & Shoot” event the other day along with some Oreo Cream Cheese Surprise Cupcakes. These pumpkin caramel bites are basically mini pumpkin pies. They are bite size for less guilt and more “ooh’s and aah’s”!

Adorable, easy to make & very tasty!

Easy Peasy Pumpkin Caramel Bites

INGREDIENTS:

Use prepared canned pumpkin pie filling or make your own

Crust-

1/3 cup softened cream cheese

1 cup flour

1/2 cup softened butter or margarine

Topping-

Caramel topping (think ice cream toppings when looking in the store for it)

Whip cream or cool whip topping

METHOD:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Prepare pumpkin pie filling according to the directions on the can or make from scratch. Set aside.

Mix cream cheese, flour and butter together by hand until crumbly & well combined. Lightly grease your muffin tin with cooking spray or baking spray. Press small amounts into each mini muffin tin and fill with a teaspoon or so of pumpkin pie filling (as shown above). Don’t overfill the cups or you may have trouble getting the final bites out of the pan easily.

Bake at 325 for 25-30 minutes or until center is set and the crust is mostly golden brown.

Let cool about 5 minutes before removing each bite from the pan. Then let them cool completely.

Add a generous drizzle of caramel on top (as shown above). Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Before serving top each pumpkin bite with whip cream and some more caramel. YUMMY!
