Do you have a summer vacation planned? Or do you have a special trip that you take every year? Every single summer of my childhood my parents and I visited my grandparents in Louisiana. My mom grew up there, met my dad working at the Fort Polk military base hospital, they got married, and eventually settled down in Michigan where my dad is from. With the exception of one or two flights, we always drove to Louisiana. It was about 1,200 miles from our house in Michigan, a 17 hour drive. We never made the drive in one day, we'd always stop for the night to have dinner and rest, and then get up the next day to make the rest of the trip. I should mention that I'm an only child, so these trips I spent in the backseat of our car listening to music, reading, daydreaming, or playing car games with my parents. These are lifelong memories that I'll never forget.

Happy February! I can't believe I actually just said that. Where did January go? It seems like just yesterday that we celebrated the New Year! Anyway, now that February is in fact here, there is one thing that's on my mind...Valentine's Day! I love Valentine's Day because of the treats. Does that surprise you? You can always count me in when there is food involved, especially sweets! To get you ready for the big day, I'll be sharing some simple desserts with you over the next week or so. First up are these decadent chocolate truffles! 

Easy Chocolate Candy Bark

This month and next our Blogger Recipe Challenge group was lucky enough to have SweetWorks as a sponsor. Each of us received two large bags of Christmas Sixlets to work with and create some magical recipes.


I've been making white chocolate peppermint bark for the holidays for several years and my friends and family love getting little boxes for Christmas. I decided to change up my usual bark and create something new using my Sixlets.

This recipe is ridiculously easy. I mean, it only has two ingredients! But the bark is delicious. Chocolaty and crunchy and colorful with the Sixlets inside. My kids love it, and I can't wait to give this out to my family and friends this holiday season.
