Grape Juice Floats!

Grape Juice Floats! These are so yummy.  We love Root Beer Floats, but tried it with fresh grape juice. It was divine and we nick-named them Grape Beer Floats. But, no beer. Just a scoop or two of some creamy Vanilla Bean ice cream and freshly juiced concord grapes! It's so delicious! We prefer it over root beer floats any day! These Rainbow Floats are fabulous too!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Bowl!

 Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Bowl! Make a yummy treat for a family night or party!  Mix up some chocolate chip cookie dough. Here's my recipe Then place the cookie dough balls in a muffin pan.  Bake for the recommended time.  While still warm, press the base of a small cup in each muffin cookie.  It smooshes the chocolate, but cools into a darling little cookie bowl!  Let them cool and then fill with fun!  Great with a tiny scoop of ice cream. Or cream and fruit!  Super yummy and twice the fun! This post published on Doodlecraft first 

Chocolate Dipped Dessert Bowls!

 Chocolate Dipped Dessert Bowls! These are so easy to make and a big hit at any event! You will need: Dipping chocolate Waterballoons  Fill the waterballoons with air. Yes, this will feel like it's going to burst your cheeks! Try to make them all about the same size. Put a drop of chocolate on a baking mat.  Dip the base of the balloon in the dipping chocolate, being careful that it's not too hot to pop the balloon.  Dip and roll the balloon in about half way and then place it on the drop.  Just like so. Let it chill.  Place in the fridge for about 20 minutes or until very firm.  Remove and pop the balloons. Carefully pull the balloon out completely.  Leaving just a hollow chocolate shell. (note: do not do this technique if people are allergic to latex)  Fill with ice cream, mousse, cream and fruit or whatever else you can think of! They are adorable, unique and delightful! Perfect for a lovely tea par...
