Chocolate Covered Peeps Hearts

Oh, hi.

Have we met?

No? Let me introduce myself. My name is Karly. I write about food, mostly because it gives me an excuse to make a lot of food and then eat it. I am the least crafty person in the world.

I can not decorate a cake to save my life.

I will destroy your coloring book by coloring outside the lines or mixing markers and crayons in a horrible non-pretty way.

One time I tried to sew a dress for my daughter and no joke, my entire living room was covered in small pieces of fabric and sewing patterns. The dress didn’t happen.

I made cake pops once and every single one of them fell off the stick.

I don’t do crafts and I certainly don’t do crafty food.

Now that we’ve got that out of the way, let me show you what I did!

I made crafty food! I stuck a peeps heart on a stick, dipped it in chocolate, covered it in sprinkles, and created my daughter’s favorite new treat.

I’m feeling like a winner, you guys. Maybe I’ll go buy a pottery wheel and start making my own food props or something next. The world is my oyster.
