     As the holidays are getting closer, it's time to make some special Christmas treats! Fudge is a delicious treat that everyone can enjoy, and one of my all time favorites. This is a chocolate fudge recipe with Christmas sprinkles. You could use this recipe any time of year but Christmas sprinkles just add an extra holiday touch. If you would like to try out this recipe click here! Appearance- This fudge would look fine on it's own but the Christmas sprinkles bring it the extra mile. The dark brown color looks amazing with the reds,whites and greens. I would rate the appearance 5 of 5 stars!  Taste- This fudge is really good! It's rich and chocolaty and so smooth. Once you have a piece you will want another! I would rate the taste 5 of 5 stars!  Difficulty- For such a good fudge this was very simple to make! Just melt everything over medium heat and freeze it. But since this uses the stove top i would rate the difficulty somewhere in between beginner an...

     Apple pie is such a good dessert for thanksgiving! You would usually bake it in an oven, but a microwave? I first saw this on The Holderness Family Vlogs . I thought this was a great idea and I wanted to try it out so I could see if it really worked. It includes the normal ingredients of apple pie, but you bake it in a microwave! You can find the recipe here. I used 1 tablespoon of lemon juice instead of juice from half a lemon.  Appearance- This pie isn't the prettiest thing in the world because of the floppy apples and gooey insides but I would say this isn't the worst looking pie ever. I would rate the appearance 4 of 5 stars. Taste- I'm not the biggest fan of apple pie, but I would say this pie tastes really good! I have not had apple pie in a long time so I can't really compare this to an oven baked pie, but if I had to guess I would say this pie tastes manly the same- if not better than a oven baked pie! I would rate the taste 4 of 5 stars! Difficulty- ...

  Pumpkin bread is one of my favorite types of bread! I thought this would be a great breakfast food to make. It's pumpkin bread with a layer of chocolate in the middle and some chocolate that has been marbled on top. It takes 50-60 minutes to bake though. But while it was baking it smelled really good! Even though the chocolate in the middle adds a nice touch, when you cut the bread it fell apart in half. If you would like to try out this recipe click here. Appearance- The orange color of the bread makes it look so tasty! I am disappointed about the “swirl”. It's more of a layer than a swirl. But putting that aside I would say it looks very good! I would rate the appearance 5 of 5 stars. Taste- This bread tastes really good! The chocolate layer adds an additional flavor. Pumpkin and chocolate is such a good combination! I would rate the taste 5 of 5 stars! Difficulty- This recipe was fairly simple to make, it was not that hard. I would rate the difficulty beginner. Overall- Ov...

  When I first saw these cupcakes they looked so good! They are perfect for the fall season or really any season. In this recipe you use yellow cake mix, pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice. These cupcakes could be muffins if you took away the cream cheese frosting because the actual cupcake is not overly cake-ish. If you would like to try this recipe, click here.  Appearance- The cupcakes are a feast for the eyes! They look as great as they taste! The frosting is so smooth and the candy corn adds a little extra touch. I would rate the appearance 5 of 5 stars!  Taste- These cupcakes taste delicious! The actual cupcake tastes really good and the pumpkin puree keeps then from being dry. The cream cheese frosting is also really good! It tastes very similar to cheesecake! I would rate these taste 5 of 5 stars! Difficulty- This recipe was very simple to make. It's just a yellow cake mix with pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice. I would rate the difficulty beginner! O...

  Halloween. Such a spooky holiday! With skeletons, ghosts, witches and eyeballs! These eye balls not only sound delicious, but they are perfect for Halloween! They seem really simple, basically just white chocolate molded into a ball, so I decided to try them out. I expected them to be a fun Halloween treat, that you could just pop into your mouth but they did not turn out quite like that… If you would like to try out this recipe click here. Appearance- These eye-balls are more like eye-splats. They did not turn out like a sphere. They turned out like puddles. This was really disappointing because eyeBALLS are supposed to be BALLS! These also turned out really sticky so you had to eat them with a fork. I would rate the appearance 3 of 5 stars. Taste- Even though they did not look perfect, this dessert was really good! The white chocolate mixture was very tasty. The chocolate chip added an extra touch. I would rate the taste 4 of 5 stars. Difficulty- This recipe was very simple to ...
