chewy bites of love...

yesterday between reading and studying i decided i wanted to whip up some type of cookie or other simple dessert. instant *light bulb*-coconut macaroons. o.m.g. i go crazy for these things. i used the recipe from Amanda's blog-Small Home Big Start. she's got a tonne of recipes and they all look so good. i won't post the recipe, you can just check out the link if you wanted to make them. they are ridiculously easy (we're talking 5 minute prep time) and they come out all chewy and delicious.

for me, it made about 14.

when i was looking in the fridge to see if we had coconut so i cook make these, i saw we had candy melts!! they're what i use for cake pops. so i thought, well, i'll just spruce up a few macaroons.

 at first, the pink wasn't hardening and i was a little disappointed. but eventually it did. i think it was from the grease on the pan that was mixing with it.

i should have made them later in the day. about half were gone by the time my parents got home from work. woops.
