Most of which we also share on our YouTube Channel, as well as our second instagram account, & TikTok.

My Naturally Sweetened Caramel Sprinkles
Today I’m showing you how I make the caramel sprinkles for my bakery, that uses natural sweeteners like coconut sugar and maple syrup (no icing sugar here!). For these sprinkles we use powdered coconut sugar, along with tapioca (to act like the cornstarch that would normally be used), and water & vanilla. Then pipe them out, let them dry, and voila!! Homemade coconut sugar sprinkles. We add these on our salted caramel vanilla cupcakes. INGREDIENTS 1 1/4c ground coconut sugar

Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Cups 🍪🥜🍫
We tried Billie Eilish’s ooey gooey PB cookie recipe this week, and they were super delicious, but we had leftover cookie dough (we only baked half the recipe) so my daughter suggested we make Reese peanut butter cups but with the cookie dough ➡️ cookie cups. Super easy no bake recipe, kid friendly, and ended up tasting very much like Reese PB cups (but with the extra choc chips from the cookie dough, and who ever said no to extra choc chips?!?). What you need: 1) some cooki
