This is a repost that I did a year ago. The original post said to use your leftover Halloween candy, but you could use any of these recipes before Halloween for your parties, get together’s or for a fun family night! These recipes are also great to give away as gifts for the holidays. Many of these recipes can be changed up just a little bit and you could use them for any time of the year!

Summertime Ice Cream Balls
Before I get to this recipe I have some exciting news that will be coming to this blog, I am going to be adding a shopping cart so watch for some fun items that are coming soon!
This is the perfect dessert for your next BBQ, 4th of July Party or just for a fun dessert for your family! The reason that it is perfect is that you make it ahead of time and then just take out of the freezer, add your toppings and serve!
This is so yummy with the crunchy outside full of cinnamon and the creamy ice cream in the middle! This resembles fried ice cream but without all the fried mess or extra calories!
Patriotic Round-up
Today I decided that I would just share a few fun ideas from past posts, to make your summer just a little bit more patriotic. With the 4th of July coming up, maybe you could use one or two of these ideas. Just click on the link below each picture for step-by-step directions or recipes.
This first idea, to help with your decorating needs, are these fun lollies. They are easy to make and they are quite stunning! I made mine into a garland and you can learn how to make your own too:
If you need a really yummy, refreshing drink for your outdoor parties this summer, you will want to try this beautiful Cherry Limeade drink! It tastes as good as it looks!
Next I will show you some fun games and ideas for your next summer party! The kids of all ages loved these games, so get a jump start and get the supplies to make your own, along with fun prizes!
This recipe is perfect for snacking, but I must warn you that it can be very addicting! With the sweet and salty taste, you won’t be able to eat just one handful! It is a combination of chocolatey, sweet, salty, peanut butter, and marshmellowy bliss! This is fun to package up in individual cups or bags and looks so pretty! There is also a story behind the name of this treat!
And last, but not least, here is a fun printable for you to use! We all know how precious our freedom is, so let’s let it RING! You can make it into a faux canvas block, like I did here, or you can just print it and frame it. There is the tan background or a white version.
So that is my patriotic round-up. I hope that there is one or two ideas that you can use for your summer fun!
Have a great day everyone! Love Ya!

Chocolate Syrup Cake
I remember making this cake many years ago. It is a very rich, moist, cake…just the way I love cake to be! It also has a cooked, ganache-type icing that is irresistable!
I have not made it for a long time, but when I saw a post somewhere out there in blog land, it reminded me of how much I used to love it and I decided to make it again… and it did not disappoint!
I usually do not make cake unless I know that I will have others here to help eat it, because my husband and I cannot eat a whole cake. But with this cake we both could not get enough and I found that we were keeping track of who had eaten a piece! You definitely cannot eat just one piece-I dare you to try!
