You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
So, I was thinking…
In my future recipe posts, would you be interested in seeing more photos of the process, as opposed to just the final product? Would that be at all helpful?
I’m warning you: the recipe-process photos won’t be pretty. I usually cook in my very tiny and very dark kitchen. And if I’m not there, I’m in my parents’ much bigger—but just as dark!—kitchen.
You know those gorgeous white kitchens you see on Pinterest?
Yeah, so not my kitchen.
Above, unfinished Copycat Peanut Butter Eggs.
And by “unfinished” I obviously mean “not yet covered in chocolate.” However, this didn’t stop me from eating one two of the eggs straight off the piece of parchment paper. Really, can you blame me?
And what’s this?
Why, it’s a giant ball of unshaped peanut butter dough.
Did I say my “in process” photos were ugly? I take it back! 
This looks like a painting.
An edible painting.
Peanut butter art?
Oh Van Gogh, you know you’re jealous.
I also made this for you:
If you get a chance, please do check out the above link and let me know: Are the step-by-step photos helpful? Would you like to see more of them in future posts? Or are they as ugly as I cautioned and you’d rather use your imagination? (Be honest!)
And sorry about all my weirdo commentary in this post. One too many glasses of wine last night.
Or perhaps it was all the reeses eggs…
I would love to see a little bit of the big steps you take in your recipes, Also, maybe tricks How you get it so nice looking in the end:)
Ironically, I just made these last night. And while they ended up turning out amazingly delicious, I questioned myself at every step. My dough seemed too crumbly, my pb blobs too funky looking, etc. Now, looking at your “behind the scenes” pics, I realize I was right on track. (Except for making one big ball first with the dough. That may have made things easier. Lol!) As someone may have already mentioned, probably not all your recipes need the pic tutorial, but maybe just ones that seem a little more complicated. 🙂 These were actually pretty easy to make, although they appear daunting. Your recipes are amazing and thanks for trying to make it even easier for those of us who need a little step-by-step encouragement! 🙂
Process pictures are sometimes very useful. But I agree with another poster, for some of your simpler recipes, they aren’t necessary.
I always like the step by step photos! It’s just reassuring. 🙂
I like the idea of step-by-step photos, just so I know if I’m doing them wrong before they finish.
I love your weirdo commentary because I am a weirdo too! I also would love to see pictures of the process; that is always super helpful!
I think taking photos of the process is more interesting too! I love your commentary ha. sometimes I get a bit confused by the processes so that is my imput! 😉
I love the step-by-step photos but I agree it’s hard to do in a kitchen that doesn’t have the luxury of natural light. Yours look pretty good, though!!
I love your tutorial! Seeing what it should look like is helpful, but especially how to dunk them. The corn holder is genius! I always find myself awkwardly dropping and rolling around items in chocolate with a fork and then end up accidentally scraping some chocolate back off when I try to retrieve them, lol.
But I’ll agree with others that many of your recipes don’t need them (like the oatmeal, cake, and cookies). 🙂
Oh, in-process photos are something I struggle with too. Somewhere along the way it’s become ingrained in my head that if a photo isn’t pretty I won’t post it. But sometimes pretty photos aren’t necessary if you are showing a technique or something. I say, bring on the in-process photos!
