Good Morning Darlings!
It’s here! Prince William and Kate’s big day. If you are throwing a royal bash, you are going to want to mix up a pan of Prince William’s favorite treat.
Thanks to the nice folks over at Daily Candy for the recipe.
Fit for a Prince!
Prince William’s Chocolate Crunch Cake Serves eight
Ingredients
For the cake
For the topping
1. In a large metal bowl, crumble graham crackers into bite-size pieces. Add raisins and nuts.
2. In a saucepan, melt chocolates, butter, and milk. Stir frequently so chocolate doesn’t burn.
3. Add melted mixture to crackers and stir until dispersed.
4. Line an 11-by-7-inch pan with waxed paper. Pour mixture into pan; spread evenly. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
5. For the topping, combine ingredients in a saucepan; stir until melted.
6. Remove cake from fridge and cover with topping. Cut into squares and serve.
Enjoy!

With Easter just four short days away, have you selected your menu? Thought about table decor? Invited your guests? Thought about cocktails?
Whatever shall you do?

Good Morning Darlings!
How I love getting a package in the mail…you know, brown paper packages tied up with string. Or packing tape. Either way.
Kahlua came knocking on my door this week. Let’s mix up some libations!
Isn’t Kahlua the yummiest?

Ugh, tax day. I always seem to owe. One day I will get a return and I will go out and buy myself some gorg Manolos.
But for now, once the taxes are in the mail box, I will have a cocktail.
Time for sipping! Or guzzling. You choose.

Being one of the party experts at Swoozie’s has its perks. This week I got to run amok in their store, picking up goodies for an Easter shoot. There are so many cute things!
But the real fun began when I arrived home.
You have got to check out all the adorable Easter treats!
