Ah Fudge! Why do you taunt me so? You’re 100% sugar + other not so great for me things (it’s allowed to add up to more than 100% because fudge is more than 100% delicious. I don’t make the rules, I just follow ’em…sometimes š ). I don’t know about you, but fudge is just […]

P-Oreo Some Sugar on Me
May 31 , 2015 by Amber Trudeau - in Candy, Cookies, Other Desserts
Time this week seemed to slip away from me much faster than usual. Normally I get super excited/ pumped thinking/ pondering what I’m going to whip up each week. In fact, I’m almost more excited at the prospect of what I’m planning than the actual consuming of said dessert and/ or baked good (I said […]

Viva Las Puffs
May 03 , 2015 by Amber Trudeau - in Candy, Cookies
Or, what happens in vegan marshmallow cookies stays in….err, gets shared with everyone? š Shouldn’t that really be Las Vegas’ slogan in this day and age anyway? I think we’re closer to living in a Big Brother-esque society than we’ve ever been, so keeping anything secret seems virtually impossible. Which is why I totally can’t […]

Stick it to the Man, the Marshmallow Man
April 26 , 2015 by Amber Trudeau - in Candy
Cottage season is almost upon us, and I’ve finally had it with my inability to toast marshmallows over the fire anymore š . When Kevin and I first bought our tiny cabin in the woods in 2011, roasting things over a roaring flame was, to me, by far the best part. So much so that […]

I’m Nuts About Hazel so I Took Her on a Date
April 19 , 2015 by Amber Trudeau - in Candy
Even I’m saying “groan” about that title, I’m just off my game in the pun department this week. Feel free to offer your own (presumably much better) hazelnut and/or date related puns in the comments below š . These little dooziesĀ have no added sugar if you care about such things. Which of course is not […]

There’s No Crying in Bourbon Balls
March 01 , 2015 by Amber Trudeau - in Candy
Unless you’re crying tears of joy of course (because I must admit that I did get a bit misty eyed with pride when I finished making these and set them free to go forth and make their way in the world). Is anyone else as huge a fan of House of Cards as I am? […]

We Jammin’, We Peanut Butter Jammin’
February 01 , 2015 by Amber Trudeau - in Cake, Candy
I know what you’re thinking, “Amber, you just did peanut butter last week, are you already so out of ideas that you can’t do something new?” Now on the one hand you would be right, but on the other hand, I love, love, love (did I mention LOVE???) peanut butter, so you’re just going to […]

Can You Do The Meringue? {Challenge Accepted}
January 11 , 2015 by Amber Trudeau - in Candy, Cookies
….Based on this photo, I apparently can’t š I thought about not posting this one at all because they didn’t turn out quite the way I had envisioned them, but in the interest of full disclosure, I’ve decided I should post the not-as-successful attempts as well. About a week ago, I received my firstĀ submitted-through-the-website challenge […]

How the Grinch Stole Cookies (aka Christmas Cookies 2014)
November 20 , 2014 by Amber Trudeau - in Candy, Cookies
I bring you both the legend, and a photo of the cookiesĀ in their “real-life” ready-to-be-transported form. I figured I would add multiple visuals of this eye “candy” for your drooling pleasure š (yes! a terrible pun that works on both levels!) Here’s the sneak preview of the Christmas cookie offerings for 2014 – I can’t […]
