Give Me S'more Snowdays!

The good news is... we had a White Christmas!

It was absolutely magical and beautiful! And Santa brought me a new car! Yay!

The bad news? It hasn't stopped snowing! It's been snowing in Kansas City since Christmas Eve! Whoa! I feel like we moved to Minnesota. No thank you!

The weather's been crazy, and although I usually love a Winter Wonderland, I am getting sick of all this snow. But, the good that's come out of it is that my sister, Chessie, got an extra week of winter break because she's had so many snowdays!

So to pass the time we've been keeping busy in the warm indoors by baking, of course!

First, we made a funfetti Christmas tree cake!

Yummm!

Next, we decided we wanted to try some more advanced baking. Chessie gave me this FABULOUS cookbook called Stud Muffins by Judi Guizado, Gilda Jimenez, Shari Hartz and Tammy Aldag. Stud Muffins has 53 creative and delectable muffin recipes like Sweet as Pumpkin Pie muffins and Ooh-La La Quiche muffins. Each recipe has a matching Stud and his steamy story. So hilarious!

The Stud we choose was Blade, the hunky outdoorsman (although a little old for us!) The recipe, Give Me S'more Muffins.

Not only was the recipe extremely easy to follow, but the muffins were HEAVENLY!

This recipe is super creative. Instead of using flour for the muffins, you just crumble graham crackers!

Add milk, an egg, honey, then fold in some chocolate chips and marshmallows. (This is one of the most delicious batters I have ever tasted!)

The best part? You top each full spot in the muffin pan with some marshmallows, which toast in the oven while the rest of the muffin bakes! SO ADORABLE! Don't they look delish?

The muffins are a little messy, but completely worth sticky fingers!

I cannot wait to try out S'more recipes from the Stud Muffin Cookbook! (haha) It's a fantastic and hilarious gift! Thanks Chess!

Also, this was my sister's very first time baking from scratch! She did a fantastic job and I'm glad I got to share this with her!

Next week, back to KU. I'm totally making muffins for the roomies! I cannot wait to go back, but I am NOT AT ALL excited to walk to class in this Arctic weather. But I'm happy to see my friends again and watch some Jayhawk Basketball! Rock Chalk!

Stay warm!
