These are Gratitude Cookies. I have an appointment for a bit of physical therapy today so I made this new cookie for staff at the hospital. Snickerdoodles are a favorite for a lot of people, so naturally Hershey’s has made Kisses with bits of that cookie in them, and I’ve made my brand of Snicks … More Thanks, Hershey’s Kisses, for Snick Snicks
This afternoon is the final matinee in Seattle for the burlesque parody which has been playing to full houses at the theatre now owned by Seattle University and formerly known as the Cornish Playhouse. The Empire Strips Back is a play on words and not associated with the Star Wars films. It features some amazing … More Goodies for cast and front of house on last Seattle day for The Empire Strips Back
I went into my local Trader Joe’s last week on the hunt for some more of their yummy Sea Salt Caramel Chips but, as with other favored products you’ll find on their shelves, the item is either discontinued or seasonal and those chips are seasonal. That’s a serious marketing problem, in my opinion, because caramel … More New! 2-Chip Snicks with Trader Joe’s Peppermint Flavored Chips and Semisweet Chocolate Chips
As I said in the previous post, I’m sending birthday surprises to my sweet, sweet sister-in-law who never reads this blog so she won’t see this and the surprise will not be spoiled. These three surprises are all my originals and include Golden Lemon Butter Cookies, the new Lemon Vanilla Spring Sprinkles Snicks and the … More Birthday Surprises
My sweet sister-in-law will be 75 this week and is fond of lemon, so I made a new Snick along with a couple other cookie types to send Priority Mail Express tomorrow. They should arrive just on time for her Happy Birthday surprises.
Can you hear the song in your mind’s ear? Well, I heard it in mine. I had a couple limes in the fridge. “Put the lime in the coconut” had filed itself into my memory and when I toasted some coconut for a carrot cake (with Caramel Cream Cheese Frosting, oh my!) earlier this week, … More New! Put the Lime in the Coconut Snick
I went looking for my favorite Hershey’s Kisses for Christmas baking, those with dark chocolate covering a mint cream truffle. I couldn’t find them but spied the new (to me, anyway) Candy Cane Kisses and said “Yes, please. I can see a new cookie this year in my Snick line.” The dough has a hint … More New! Hershey’s puts out new Kiss. I make a new cookie. Candy Cane Snicks.
This is not a new cookie, but a revision to one I invented last Christmas when I decided to change up the color of the sprinkles for Pride. So it’s still a snick with vanilla chips and essence of cotton candy but with rainbow sprinkles. Same deliciousness. Different sprinkles. Different occasion. Since I wasn’t able … More June: Time for Rainbow Sprinkles Snicks
Valentine’s Day is this week and just when I was at the grocers thinking about which cookies to make and mail to Mother for the holiday, I saw that Hershey’s has a new offering complete with “Buy-Me” hearts on a pink package. I couldn’t resist as my thoughts went quickly to a new Snick even … More 2 New! Mocha Snicks with Lava Cake Kisses & Chocolate Mini Teacakes
A lovely neighborhood merchant asked me several days ago what I would be doing for Thanksgiving. I just shrugged and said that I am alone. She told me that she invites some folks who do not have family and asked me if that included me. Nope, I have family, but my daughter lives in London … More New! Mini Cinnamon Chocolate Chili Snicks for Thanksgiving
