strawberry rose topped brownie torte

in my last post,
you saw a glimpse of today's treat,
strawberry rose topped brownie torte.

it's a definite people pleaser that combines 
chocolate, frosting, ganache and strawberries 
so y'know it's gonna be good! 
just use your fave brownie mix and a mold or you can even put it in a regular pan and cut into squares.
i used a heart mold cuz i had these at 
a galentine party last weekend.
follow the directions on the box to bake 
then when they're done baking,
this way they will lay flat on the bottom 
and the top to hold the strawberry.
remove from the mold after 5 minutes then allow to cool completely before slicing each brownie in half as shown:
next up you'll need to make the frosting 
with these ingredients:

then pipe it on top of the brownie bottom 
and top it off with the other half.
next, mix 1/2 cup whipping cream boiled for a minute then add a 6 oz. bag of chocolate chips and stir til smooth for some delicious ganache topping.
and last but not least, cut up a strawberry 
to look like a rose.
this tutorial is awesome and shows you 
a step by step on how to make your roses.
then lastly add it to your mini tortes 
for some beautiful deliciousness.
dang these are sooo yummy!
of course you want the recipe which you can get here, 
and as you will see, i left the frosting all one color 
(even though it looks beige in one pic and white in the next!) and i didn't make any candy or frosting decor, just used the strawberries instead.( i do make the christmas tree but it's february and thought that'd be weird to do so! lol)
if you're on a diet, just make 'em anyway 
cuz they're so pretty you can just stare at them...
or better yet, pass them to me!

marshmallow hot cocoa santas

this post was originally published on Design Dazzle's Christmas Wonderful series HERE.

hi guys!
is your holiday prep happenings coming to an end?
no no don't let the fun end now,
cuz these will surely put a smile 
on everyone's face when they see these 
hot cocoa marshmallow santa treats 
on christmas morning! 
heehee! these may look complicated but 
it's just a matter of gluing and drawing.

let's go on with the how-to's for these 
holly jolly hot cocoa treats.
you will need the following:

regular size marshmallows, mini marshmallows, mini marshmallow bits, santa candy hats, melted white and milk chocolate (from chips, candy melts or almond bark), various sprinkles, christmas straws, black food marker 

ok let's get to it.

first poke a straw thru each regular size marshmallow. 
put these aside along with your santa hats 
you can get from target.
next up:
hey hey hey you just made a mini mug!
so let’s fill ’em up!
use a toothpick to add the chocolate.
i melted some almond bark but a few chocolate 
chips melted in the microwave will do too-
you don’t need much at all, as you are just
 using the chocolate to top the mini mugs. 
and then before you know it, 
you’ll get a whole city of mini hot cocoa mugs!
ok so you can do this:
go the fun way and do this:
 coat the top of each marshmallow with
white almond bark, add sprinkles, candy glue
the mug as shown, and add the santa hat
to the top (you'll need to hold the hat
in place til the candy dries a little-
it only take a minute or 2). 

then you can do the following to finish the santas off.
oh but one more thing!
you can see the whole effect of your little santa man below:
so there you have it.
 cups of christmas cheer for everyone.
here's to a sane and wonderful rest of the week 
til the BIG day comes!
