Simple Easter Treat.

Hi there! Happy Easter! So, my cousin and I thought about making some yummy treats for Easter and what simple, easy treat to make other than Rice Krispie Treats. We thought we could make Robin's Nest with Cadbury Mini Eggs with some chocolate drizzle. What you would need is:

• A whole package of regular sized Marshmallows
• We used 4 Tsp. of butter, but I think the recipe calls for less than that (We were eyeballing it)
• Enough Rice Krispies to coat (Again, we were eyeballing it)
• A few pieces of chocolate (dark or milk) to melt
• Cadbury Mini Eggs (Just enough to fill the nests)

First, you will want to heat up a sauce pan on medium heat. Next, when your pan is hot enough, turn the heat to low and add in your butter. When your butter is fully melted, add in about half of the marshmallows and turn the heat up to medium low. By putting in half of the marshmallows, it quicken the melting process. Once it is melted, add in the rest and let it melt. When it is all melted, you want it to cool down a bit before mixing it with the Rice Krispies. In a mixing bowl, pour in your Rice Krispies. Then, with your melted marshmallows, pour it in the mixing bowl with the Rice Krispies while it is still warm. If it is necessary, add some more Rice Krispies. Next, you can use the back of a muffin tin sprayed with some cooking oil to mold the nest, but we molded them free-handedly. You would want to set them on some wax or parshment paper on a baking sheet so that it can cool and harden. When you're done molding them, put them in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes. While you wait, you can melt your chocolate. I would suggest to add a little bit of olive or vegetable oil in the chocolate so that it won't chunk up so quickly. Next, pour the chocolate in a plastic baggy and snip one corner to drizzle. Take out the chilled nest and begin to drizzle your chocolate. After, you can start placing your eggs in the nests. Lastly, move the nests into some cupcake liners and there you have it! Robin's Nests for an Easter treat. I hope that you enjoy making them and enjoy eating them! These are fun to make.

Endless Eating Adventure.

Over the weekend, my cousin, Jane, came to visit since it was the last few days of her spring break. We both went on a food tour type of thing. When Jane arrived, we went to SoHo for a bit and decided to go to The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf for the first time, and I just have to say that I am in LOVE. I got a hazelnut ice blended and it is not the typical frozen coffee drink that you would get at Starbucks. It's happiness in a cup. On Friday, we went to East Village and to several places. I got really full, meanwhile, Jane continued to order more food. We decided to get lunch at a Japanese ramen restaurant called Ippudo. It was a 30 minute wait for the two of us, so we walked around. Then, we decided to get smoothies at Liquiteria, which is a juicery shop. We walked around Union Square Park since we had some time left. After, we walked back to the restaurant and got our seats. The ramen is really good, it was definitely authentic Japanese ramen. When we finished, we walked over to the Big Gay Ice Cream Shop. I got the classic, infamous Salty Pimp, which is a vanilla soft serve with salted caramel dipped in chocolate on a cake cone. It's pretty awesome, but the person who made mine put a little too much salt. The next place that we went to is a ice shavery place called Snowdays. Jane and I decided to share it because the portion for a regular is too much. We got a flavor called yeti tracks, which is basically cookies n' creme, with condensed milk drizzle and fruity pebbles. The spoons are cool, pun intended, because they turned blue when it touches cold temperatures. The next place that we ordered food at is Artichoke pizza. I didn't buy a slice because I was way too full and exhausted. Then, we went to Baohaus, which is an American twist to a Taiwanese/Chinese bao, a sweet steamed bun with meat and/or vegetable. On Saturday, we went to the Upper East Side and went to Alice's Tea Cup for lunch and afternoon tea. It was a 45 minute wait, but it was worth it because I definitely felt like a little girl again having a tea party. We got The Mad Hatter, which is an afternoon tea special with a three-tiered stand with our options of 3 scones, 2 sandwiches, and a dessert with assorted cookies and two options of tea. Taking a break from eating, we decided to walk it off by going to the MoMA (Museum of Modern Art). We actually stayed until closing. We then walked around Central Park and then went to Sprinkled Cupcakes and got the Sprinkles Sundae. To be honest, it was too sweet for me because of the frosting and the ice cream combined, but it was still good. I know I'm a couple of days late with posting this, but hey, I've been busy. I can't wait to try more things, because the eating adventure will not rest.

Yummy Treats.

So, for spring break, I went to Virginia. I got to catch up with my cousins while I was there. The other day, my cousin, Jane and I decided to go to The World Market. If you don't know what The World Market is, it is a store that sells items from furniture to toys to accessories to stationary items to food to kitchen essentials.  We were particularly looking for food at the store to do a taste testing on. I wanted to try some treats from Australia and the UK. I only got 4 items, which are the Tim Tams, Violet Crumble, Yorkie, and the Pop Rocks. Now, the Pop Rocks are not exactly an international treat, so I didn't even plan to do a taste testing with them. I just miss eating them. Anyway, we both got that treats that we wanted to try and when we got home, we did the taste testing with our other cousins and recorded most of it. And so, here's the video! Hope you enjoy.
