YUM

Conversation heart candies are always a Valentine’s Day necessity, but we are not the biggest fans of their dry chalky taste. That is why we were thrilled to find these cute conversation heart cookies from Annie of With Sprinkles On Top. Use your favorite sugar cookie recipe (or you can try Annie’s) and cut the dough with a heart-shaped cookie cutter.  Once the cookies have been baked, decorate them with pastel-colored royal icing and then use red piping to spell out cheeky little messages. You can find the full recipe on With Sprinkles On Top. Enjoy, Minkettes!

The light texture of a croissant and the delicious taste of french toast… yes Minkettes, that is Croissant French Toast and it is absolutely amazing. Emma of FoodComaBlog had it when visiting a friend in Nashville and claims it as her new go-to breakfast.

Everyone deserves to indulge in a guilty pleasure every once in a while, and this delicious treat combines two of our guiltiest snacks: potato chips and chocolate. We first spotted these chocolate covered potato chips over at Because I’m Addicted, but you can find the recipe at Spoon Fork Bacon. All you need is a bag of potato chips and 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips. Simply melt the chocolate over a pot of boiling water, dip the chips in and let them dry on a piece of wax paper. This is the perfect people-pleasing snack to serve on Super Bowl Sunday - stop by Spoon Fork Bacon to see the whole recipe.
