New from IHOP's Menu: Brioche French Toast (Review)

I'm not much of a breakfast person. But when I do treat myself to a really good breakfast, I'll pick IHOP anytime! I just love their crepes, pancakes and French toasts!

So, I recently had the pleasure to taste test IHOP's new Berry-Berry Brioche French Toast- one of three yummy flavors from their latest breakfast innovation: Brioche French Toast. If you want to know what brioche means- it's a French bread made with a great amount of egg and butter which gives it a rich and tender crumb and has a flaky, golden and dark crust. (I got that from Wikipedia).

The Brioche French Toasts at IHOP are thick-cut slices of rich round brioche bread soaked in a lightly-sweetened vanilla batter and grilled to a delicate warm golden crispiness, then layered with your choice of three flavorful varieties of toppings: Bananas Foster, Berry Berry and Peaches & Cream.

I really enjoyed my Berry-Berry Brioche French Toast breakfast at IHOP! The bread is so buttery and I love the blueberries and sliced strawberries on them. The powdered sugar and whipped cream toppings were just the right amount so they didn't make the French toast overwhelmingly sweet. The portion was quite big for what I normally eat for breakfast so I only ate half of it and saved the other half for my afternoon snack that day. I will definitely try the other two flavors of Brioche French Toast the next time I go to IHOP! :)

The creators of Brioche French Toast at IHOP call these their "next generation of French Toast". Rightly so. These are not your regular French Toasts. If you love French Toast with a lot of flavor, I'm sure you'll be delighted with these new offerings from IHOP! So go, try one on your next visit at IHOP. You won't be disappointed.

Father's Day Dessert Recipe: Hoot Owl Cupcakes

Looking to do something fun with your kids and family for Father's Day? How about gathering in the kitchen and make these adorable Hoot Owl Cupcakes, a Father's Day craft inspired by Winnie the Pooh.

You'll need:

Batch of chocolate cupcakes
Buttercream frosting
Caramel Bullseye candies
Waxed paper
Rolling pin
White candy melts
Chocolate chips
Kitchen scissors
Black licorice sticks
Cashews

Here's how to make it:

Generously frost one third of the top of each cupcake.
Next, create owl eyes. For each pair, slice a caramel Bullseye candy in half to create 2 thinner circles. Place the halves between two sheets of waxed paper and use the rolling pin to flatten them slightly (they should be about 1 1/2-inch-wide).
Top the caramels with white candy melts, and then set a chocolate chip on top of each candy melt, using dabs of frosting to hold the pieces in place. Place a pair of eyes on each cupcake, pressing them down onto the frosted portion.
Create facial feathers for each owl by snipping two 1 1/2-inch lengths from a piece of black licorice. Cut fringe in one end of each length. Then stick the fringed licorice pieces in place right above the eyes.
For the finishing touch, add cashews for the owls' beaks.
