When I asked you guys what you thought I could make for the Fox Morning Show segment, over 680 of you voted, and almost 50% chose the Ultimate Dessert.
And all I have to say to that is… Thank You!! It was the perfect choice.
You are so smart.
So I figured I could try a couple different forms of presentation for the show.
And somewhere along the way… I decided I needed to give the Ultimate Dessert a makeover. St. Patty's Day style.
I made a shamrock cookie…and when I say made I am not kidding, as I do not own a shamrock cookie cutter and Walmart does not stock them yet.
Then I made a mint vanilla frosting… it was so subtle yet refreshing.
I sometimes forget how much I enjoy mint.
Now, I made these with Hershey's Chocolate Syrup… but purely for presentation purposes.
I MUCH prefer melted milk chocolate over the Ultimate Dessert, I just did not want to deal with melting chocolate and not having the right consistency for the segment.
The combination of thick and smooth milk chocolate, creamy mint vanilla frosting, and a slightly crispy cinnamon cookie is almost too much for your sweet taste buds to handle, but it is of extreme importance that you give them the opportunity.
Make it. Soon. I promise its easy and SO worth it. Full recipe here.
I also made tiny little shamrock cinnamon cookies for decoration… they were super yummy! Almost like sweet chips!
I had an amazing time getting to hang out at Fox 9 and meet the wonderful anchors.
Here is a link to the clip if you want to see it!
And be sure to let me know if you try the Ultimate Dessert… I would love to know how you make it yours!
I will definitely be trying this out!! Love the shamrock idea!!
Looks so yummy! My dad’s birthday is coming up and I make a wicked chocolate mint cake with draped chocolate over it. 🙂 Makes me think it’s a good idea to make this year!
These are great! I want to make them for my hubby and kids. How much and what kind of mint flavoring did you add? Thanks!
They’re beautiful! How did you make the shamrock cutter? xo
You are nothing short of amazing in my book!
Oh no…
I am So grateful you found my blog but absolutely horrifed you’ll come back tomorrow when I have a scheduled post going up showing my daughter’s hideous birthday cake I made her on Saturday.
Hopefully you are as gracious as you are ridiculously talented.
Love your pictures and thanks for the comment,

The shamrock! how cute!!!
Have a great week… and I’m following you daily!
Now if you lived next door to me I could have lent you my shamrock cookie cutter! ;D Love it as always!
I really don’t have any words when I come to THIS blog of yours, because your creations are so incredible. I know I’ve said it a million times, but you are so talented and these are gorgeous. They are also FUN. You know how to bake for everyone. I’m off to watch your clip – it’s the only way I get to ‘see’ you in real life!! Maybe some day. 🙂
My birtheday is on St. Patty’s Day. Maybe I will make them for my birthday cake! I love mint and chocolate! Thanks for the wonderful idea that fits me perfect.
