This is the post I have been dreaming about for 6 weeks. I read it in Aruba. I remember thinking holy crap.

Now. Just in time for Valentines Day, in my own kitchen. Look out world, here I come. I’ll report back with what I make. I may or may not blog about it b/c the vegan police will come for me. LOL

Yup, that’s exactly it :) I had my oven at 300 F for the pretzel turtles. I spread the pecans out evenly on a baking sheet first and popped them in there for maybe 7 minutes? I’d check on them every two minutes though, because they can burn really fast! Some people also salt or oil their nuts when roasting, but it’s not really necessary when you’re using them for baked goods :) Good luck!

Really new to baking/cooking and I have no idea how to roast pecans (for the pretzel turtles)…please help! Is it as easy as just putting the dry pecan halves on a cookie sheet in the oven @ 350?
Many thanks in advance!

I can actually bake without eating any of it, only if I truly have NONE OF IT. Even one chocolate chip or lick while baking automatically leads to 10X that.

If I’m goood and don’t touch any of it, its more insentive to enjoy a sample at the end. So no worries. :) And conrats on the 90 min spin! Seriously impressed.

And all the goodies look successful and delicious.

I actually bookmarked a recipe very similar to those pb cup cookies. I can’t wait to make them. Of course some taste testing will inevitably follow. :)

I like you tip to unwrap the peanut butter cups; something I could totally forget… (I’m a bit challenged when it comes to baking!).

Favorite holiday treat? Sugar cookies.

I was thinking the same thing today! It’s not a good sign when I feel like I’m already running on pure sugar five days before Christmas :P

My favorite holiday goodies are sugar cookie holiday cut-outs with green and red sprinkles, plain and simple. So delicious : )

All the sweet deliciousness! That is making me want to go bake some sweetness myself!

And it also makes me wish the holidays would be over already. It’s not helping my healthy eating. Hehe.
