My Everest

I've had a few months under my baking belt now. I've tried simple dessert recipes, from cakes, to cupcakes, to cookies. I wasn't sure if I was quite ready for my EVEREST, but I was impatient and wanted the challenge. What is my EVEREST? Cocoa Puffs. Yup! I thought I was foolish, but if I failed, who would know? So might as well try. And I did.

The recipe is from our fundraiser cookbook. It was generously contributed by our office baker, Kaulana. Her desserts are ʻono. The carrot cake cupcakes and chocolate macadamia nut cookies were also from her. I wanted to try all her recipes, and cocoa puffs would be my ultimate goal, my EVEREST. But I couldn't wait. I just went for it. Hahaha. I'm glad I did.

The first batch did not win points for appearance, they looked a little like snails, but the taste was definitely through the roof.



My second batch came out a lot better.



Seriously? I made cocoa puffs? Seriously!!!
