All you need is a cup of milk chocolate chips, sprinkles, lollipop sticks and marshmallows. Begin by melting your chocolate in the microwave. I usually melt the chocolate chips for 10…

Watermelon Rind Pickles

Hot summer weather is always better with nice ice cold watermelon. We’ve had an especially hot summer this year with the heat dome so watermelon was always in our fridge.

White Chocolate Pistachio Bark

Making white chocolate bark is a great way to treat someone you love. It looks beautiful, tastes great and is easy.

Salted Cherry Blossoms

Dehydrating Things
