My Homemade Peanut Butter Cups

Last week, I was in a local party store, not a big chain party store, but a local party store. Anyway, I was going down on of the aisles and found a peanut butter cup chocolate mold. Well, I just had to purchase it and have made some at home since.

This is the coolest chocolate mold and they are so easy to make. That is, if you have or make the time to mold these chocolates. They will mold in the refrigerator in five to ten minutes. These are fun to make for Birthday's, Birthday Parties, Christmas candies in your home, Christmas gifts, and so much more.

If you love chocolate and peanut butter and would prefer making them yourself, this is the best way to do it.

Here the photos of me making them in less than an hour.

Chocolate and Pink Vanilla Cupcake Picks

These are a new candy I am making. They are chocolate/pink vanilla cupcake picks. They go in the middle of cupcakes and just jazz up any cupcake. I am thinking of making these for my twins 5th birthday party coming up soon.

This year, like for their first birthday, I am doing the Princess Theme again. When I was at a my local craft store mass retailers, I found these princess tiara pick molds. I pondered on whether to purchase them. I would leave the aisle they were in, then come back and I finally decided to purchase the mold.

This is how I make them at home and they will look lovely in the center of my twins
5th Birthday Party cupcakes. Yeah, this year, I have decided to bake the cupcakes myself and not purchase a cake. The reason for this is, I found a cute cupcake tier holder that is hot pink and is Princess designed with jewels and other things Princesses would like up and down the three tiered cupcake holder.

This is how I melt the chocolates and vanilla melts I purchase at my local craft store:

If you already have a double boiler, that is great. If not, all you have to do is use a medium boiling pot, add water, let the water come to a boil and put a colander over the medium water pot. Then, in a glass measuring cup or glass cooking cups, add the amount of chocolate you need and allow it to melt. This is the best way to melt the chocolate without it burning on the actual heat. This is the way I melt my chocolate or colored vanilla melts.

Personalized Backpacks and Duffle Bags are Awesome!

Every child should be and wants to be an individual. When your child, or children, throw their personalized kids backpack on their back, their friends and teachers will notice. If anything says, individuality, these personalized kids backpacks do. With more than ten colors to choose from, your child or children can pick from red, green, black, blue and many other colors. Then your child or children can either have their first name or first initial sewn on the front of their backpack. Another good thing about these backpacks is, they are light and measure 8" x 11". The size is great for toddlers and their backs too.


If you child or children are invited to campout or sleepover, they will also want a personalized duffle bag. Duffle bags are great because they will hold your child's cloths, a small blanket and toys. These duffle bags can also be used for sports like soccer, tennis, ballet, dance or whatever sport your child is involved in.

These personalized duffle bags also come in more than ten colors. Your child or children can have their first name or first initial sewn on the front. These personalized duffle bags are great in case they find their way into a lost and found box too.


The city of Dallas, Texas is beautiful and fun. When owning your own home or business, it is important to maintain the smallest to largest of lawns. That is why when looking for a lawn maintenance company, it is best to check out a Dallas lawn maintenance company.

When using a Dallas lawn maintenance company, they already know what soil is used in or around your home or business. This makes it easy for them to work with your lawn and keep your lawn or yard looking crisp and new yearround. This is especially true when wanting to replace your old lawn grass with a newly grown sod. There are a variety of sod for shady or sunny areas. Choosing the right sod makes all the difference in your lawn and landscaping needs.
