walnut coconut creams, covered in white almond bark, with adorable chick faces and feet fashioned from various candy sprinkles. I stole the idea for the chick faces from "http://cakeonthebrain.blogspot.com/2010/03/easter-chick-cake-balls.html
I also made some caramel, wrapped it around pretzel rods, then went nuts with chocolate and sprinkles. mmmmmmm, D is very very happy with these. He doesn't have much of a sweet tooth so when I hit on something he loves it is a treat for me!
funny story about the chick faces.
Cake on the brain used a food marker to make the iris part of the eyes. I couldn't find a food marker at the 2 stores I needed to go to for other groceries anyway, so I spent quite a bit of time, almond bark and toothpicks experimenting with different ways to make irises. I realized I had spent too much time with candy poultry when I sat frustrated looking at my few paste/gel food colors thinking, "Brown! that is what I need. darn, I wish I had brown. Brown would work well." sitting about 10 inches to my left was the leftover chocolate from the pretzels. It was the perfect brown. :)
