Do you love baking but find it hard to make something truly unique and interesting every time? We’ve all been there! If you’re looking for a delicious new way to put a twist on your favorite recipes, why not try adding some candy? Whether it’s chocolate chips melting inside of warm muffins or chunks of gummy candy decorating cakes, incorporating candy into your desserts is an easy and fun way to instantly make them stand out – plus they taste amazing.
1. Chocolate Chip Cookies
The classic. Adding chocolate chips to your cookies can help make them even more delicious. Mix in a few different kinds of chips, such as semi-sweet, white chocolate, and dark chocolate, to add some variety. You can also try adding things like crushed candy bars or peanut butter chips for an extra sweet treat. Look for an online sweet shop to find unique and interesting chocolate chips. If you’re feeling adventurous, try making your own. While you’re at it, why not try making some chocolate-chip cookie dough ice cream? It’s a great way to enjoy the flavors of cookies without having to bake them.
2. Caramel-Filled Cupcakes
Fancy cupcakes without the fuss? Caramel-filled cupcakes are just the thing! Cut out a hole in the top of each cooled cupcake, fill it with caramel, and replace the piece of cake you cut. You can add other toppings like nuts or chocolate chips to give them more flavor. If you’d rather not deal with cutting out holes and filling them, find some pre-made caramel filling at your local baking store. The extra sweetness will make your cupcakes stand out from all the rest! It’s a great way to use candy in your baking and you don’t even have to make the caramel yourself!
Who says you have to choose between brownies and candy? Try creating delicious and unique treats by adding a layer of your favorite candy bar, like Snickers or Kit Kat, in the middle of your fudgy brownies. Start with a traditional brownie batter and pour half into a greased baking dish. Add some chopped pieces of your favorite candy bar before pouring the rest of the batter over top. Bake as usual and enjoy a tasty combo! While you’re at it, why not sprinkle some candy on the top for an extra special touch?
4. Gummy Worms on Cakes
You can add a bit of whimsy to your cakes by topping them with gummy worms. The bright colors and interesting texture contrast nicely against the smoothness of the icing, creating a unique treat that will have everyone talking. Plus, it’s easy to do – just stick the gummy worms on top at the end before serving! You can also use them to decorate cupcakes or cookie bars for an extra special touch. If you really want to get creative, you can even dip them in melted chocolate before adding them to your desserts. The possibilities are endless!
5. Chocolate Bark
Chocolate bark is a simple, but delicious treat to top your baked goods. It can be as basic or as elaborate as you want it to be! You can use milk, dark, or white chocolate and add a variety of toppings such as nuts, dried fruit, candy pieces, shredded coconut, or sprinkles. For a more sophisticated flavor try adding spices like cinnamon or cayenne pepper for an interesting kick. It’s very easy to make and looks great on cakes and cupcakes! Also, it’s a great way to use up leftover Halloween candy. You can store it in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
Chocolate-covered pretzels are a classic treat that can easily be incorporated into your baked goods. They add texture, flavor, and interest to any recipe. And you don’t have to buy pre-made chocolate-covered pretzels either; you can make them yourself! All you need is some chocolate chips and some stick pretzels. Simply melt the chocolate chips in the microwave and dip the pretzel sticks in it until they’re fully covered. Then let them sit on wax paper until they harden before adding them to whatever delicious sweets you’re making. If you want to get creative, try adding different toppings for an even more interesting twist on this old favorite. Sprinkles, crushed nuts, or toasted coconut are all great options that will give the chocolate-covered pretzels a unique flavor.
7. Whipped Cream and Fruity Candies
When you’re thinking about adding some sweetness to your baked treats, it’s worth considering the variety of candy types available. From fruity and creamy to crunchy and chewy, there are many different varieties that can add texture and flavor to your desserts. One particularly interesting way to use candy in baking is by combining whipped cream with fruity candies. Whipped cream is a wonderful addition to any cake or cupcake, providing a luxurious texture that helps balance out the sweetness of the other ingredients. When combined with fruit-flavored candies such as gummy bears or jelly beans, you get a delicious combination of both sweet and tart flavors that will tantalize the taste buds.
If you’re looking for a way to add some crunch and sweetness to your baking, try chocolate-covered popcorn! All you need is melted chocolate, popcorn kernels, and some sprinkles or mini marshmallows. To make it extra special, use dark chocolate. It will give the popcorn an intense chocolaty flavor while providing a satisfying crunch.
