It is National Back to School Month and I decided to take a trip down memory lane and throw it back to the 90s! I loved the 90s! From the Spice Girls and butterfly clips to the best television shows like Friends and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, the 90s were totally rad!

Wild Berry Pop Tarts were very popular for the cool design and signature berry flavor. The filling consisted of blueberry, strawberry and raspberry. Here is how you can make your own!

Ingredients:
-Pillsbury pie crust
-Berry filling (I used raspberry and blackberry preserves)

Icing:
-1/2 cup of powdered sugar
-1 tsp of vanilla
-2 tbs of milk
-neon purple and blue food coloring

Directions:
-Roll out the pie crusts. Lay the pie crusts on top of each other and cut the corners to make a large square. Then cut into 3 rectangles. With one pie crust package I was able to make 3 Pop tarts. 
-Combine the berry preserves. I just used two(Blackberry and Raspberry) but you can use whatever you like. Spoon the jelly in the center of a square pie crust and be sure you don't put too much and not close to the edge. Then cover with another piece of square pie crust. 
-Seal the edges with a fork and poke some holes in the center with the fork so that air can be released when it bakes. 
-Bake at 375 for 12-15 mins just until it they are golden brown. 
-Combine the ingredients for the icing. If it is too runny just add more powdered sugar.
-Divide into separate bowls and color one purple and the other blue. 
-When the Pop Tarts are completely cool then you can begin icing. First apply the purple icing to the entire Pop Tart. Let it dry for a few minutes then drizzle the blue across. ​
​Enjoy!

I think Gingerbread Houses are so pretty and festive. I simply can't resist picking up a kit every Christmas. While they do make for a fun craft project, they aren't exactly tasty. So I want to show you how to make this Holiday favorite into a delicious cake! 

You will need:
-1 box of cake mix (I used spiced cake mix)
-white frosting
-chocolate frosting
-Graham crackers
-Golden Grahams cereal
-Assorted candies and sprinkles for decorating

First, bake your cake in a cake pan and allow it to cool completely. Then slice the cake into 4 even squares. 
Stack the squares with chocolate frosting in between each layer. The first carve a peak with the top two layers of cake to form your roof. Then cover the entire cake with chocolate frosting. 

Then cover the sides with graham crackers. Cover the roof with the golden grahams cereal as the shingles of your house. Then use the white frosting around the edges and to make windows, a door and snow. Decorate with some candy and for a special touch you can sprinkle some powdered sugar on the roof for snow. Enjoy!

I am usually in charge of bringing dessert on Thanksgiving. Cupcakes are always so easy to put together and is my favorite dessert for any Holiday. Here is an easy way to make festive and fun Thanksgiving cupcakes. 

Pumpkin Pie Cupcake
Simply frost a cupcake with orange frosting. Make pie crust frosting by coloring white frosting with a hint of yellow food coloring. Pipe a ribbon of your 'pie crust" frosting around the edge of the cupcake. Then just pipe a small amount of white frosting in the center for whipped cream. 

Cherry Pie Cupcake
Frost your cupcake with some white frosting to act as a glue for the cherries. Take red candy coated peanuts and apply them on top of the cupcake and these will be you cherries. I found the red candy coated peanuts at the Dollar Tree but really any small red candies could work. Then take the pie crust frosting you made earlier and pipe a criss cross pattern across the cupcake. Then pipe a ribbon around the edge of the cupcake to finish the crust. 

Cornucopia Cupcake
Frost the cupcake(I used chocolate frosting). Then take some Bugle chips and dust slightly with cinnamon. Place the Bugle chip in the center of the cupcake. I then used Reese's Pieces candy pouring out of the Bugle chip. 

Turkey Cupcake
Frost a cupcake with chocolate frosting. Then pipe the Turkey's head with chocolate frosting. Add candy candy eyes and use an orange Reese's Pieces for the beak. I melted some red and yellow candy melts and pipe a feather shape onto wax paper and let them harden. I then placed the candy melted feathers behind the head on the cupcake. 

Yumm! Werewolf fingers never looked so good! These very creepy Werewolf Claw Fingers are so cool looking but very simple to make. It is a chocolate shortbread cookies with cashews, frosting and chocolate sprinkles. Here is how  you make it. 

Chocolate Shortbread Cookie Dough

-3/4 cup of powdered sugar
-2 cups of flour
-3 tbs of unsweetened cocoa powder
-1 pinch of salt

Decorations:
-Whole cashews(I used honey roasted)
-Chocolate frosting
-Chocolate sprinkles

Directions:
In a bowl mix the butter and sugar. Next add the flour, cocoa and pinch of salt. Combine well and roll the dough into a flatted ball and place in plastic wrap to chill in the fridge for an hour. 
Take a small ball of dough and begin to make it into a finger shape. To create the knuckles pinch each end of the dough to make a small ball in the center. With a knife draw  lines on two spaces of the finger to create the knuckles. Next firmly place a whole cashew into the dough  at the tip of the "finger."
Place on a baking sheet and bake at 50 degrees for about 15 minutes. 

Once the cookies are complete cool you can begin decorating with the frosting and sprinkles. Spread a small amount of chocolate frosting on the knuckles of the finger and cover with chocolate sprinkles to create the furry fingers.
