Favorite Things Friday #6 & White Chocolate Cherry Almond Cookies

Happy Friday!

Any chocolate lovers out there?...

One of my favorite things is chocolate especially white chocolate or any chocolate where caramel is involved! :)

It just so happens that the cookies I made for the Pinterest Party last weekend included white chocolate...and cherries and almonds!  Yum :)

Chewy and fruity...just right for the holidays!

The recipe I followed for these White Chocolate Cherry Almond Cookies can be found here or on my Food pin board.

The recipe makes 72 cookies!  I made a half batch and that was plenty to go around.  You could make the full batch and give them away in little gift boxes.

If you love white chocolate, you might also like these Pumpkin White Chocolate Chip Cupcakes,

this White Chocolate Snack Mix,

or these Cranberry Pistachio Biscotti dipped in white chocolate!

Hope you have a fabulous weekend!

Enjoy :)

Pinterest Party!

This weekend I had the privilege to attend a Pinterest Party!  We all pin so many things to craft, bake, play, or decorate but when do we have the time to do any of them?!  That is the inspiration behind these parties that are becoming quite popular!

The hostess supplied all the materials needed to make a Pinterest craft (the guests chipped in a minimal $ because she found a deal, score!) and each guest was asked to bring a favorite foodie pin to share.  Crafting and snacking?...I'm there!

Here is what we were going to make:

Burlap trees

Here is how mine turned out! :)

Some of the goodies guests brought to share were...

Grinch punch

Cranberry Pecan Cheeseball

Quinoa Pizza Bites

Olive Penguins

Peanut Butter Cookie Bark

Pumpkin Cheesecake Crescents

Homemade Butterfingers

A very fun evening!  I'll share the Pinterest goodie I made later this week. :)
