Sweet Tooth

We have been struck by the sugar bug again!  The other night I was craving something sweet after dinner.  The best I could find in our pantry was a bag of stale Oreos.  I figured if I dipped them in milk, the staleness wouldn't matter.  This was my favorite dessert as a little girl, and I decided Cooper should be introduced to this special treat.  Well, Little Man immediately took an interest in my cookies and snatched one for himself!  
It's amazing how at such a young age, he already knows how to eat an Oreo!  That's my boy!
The stale Oreos didn't really satisfy my sweet tooth, so today Cooper and I made a cake.  We made a yellow cake (box mix) but decided to fancy up the icing and make a homemade chocolate icing.  I pulled my box of Hershey's cocoa out and saw their recipe for "Perfectly Chocolate" Chocolate Frosting. 
They do not lie.  It is perfect!  I have had a lot of chocolate icings, and this is the BEST I have ever tasted.  
As I iced the cake, I let the little baker lick the spoon.  He approved as well, even though he's crying in this picture.  I think he was afraid I was trying to take his spoon away!  I would cry too if I were him!
