Blarneystones

Here is another photo from the BHG Holiday Cook Book from yesterday. I love the cut out cheeses. The recipe I'm highlighting today is not on here; but I loved the tea set also too much to miss posting this. Plus the recipe did not have a scannable photo, just a tiny black and white.

Edible Blarneystones:

Make cupcakes from your favorite mix, according to package directions. Cool. Frost all over with fluffy instant frosting mix or Snowy 7-minute Frosting. Cover with green tinted coconut.

I think you could get a can of whipped frosting for this, but I thought it was a cute idea. Messy, but fun. Kind of like my life. It reminded me of the green snowballs from Hostess. Those are my 100% Irish Mother's favorite St. Pat's food, and I tracked some down for her this week. I blogged about those last year and that was one of my most popular posts ever. When I mentioned to a co-worker that I needed to buy some of these on my lunch hour, she came with and we ended up splitting a pack of these. Any other Snowball fans here?

I'm guest blogging today over at The Stiletto Gang, a great mystery writer site, about my fondness for Trixie Belden mysteries. The Southern half of the writing duo Evelyn David is a friend and invited me. ED did a story for Missing. The Northern half is going to guest blog on here in May when their new book comes out, Murder Takes the Cake. Check it out!
