Recipe // sweet+ salty treats

February 15, 2012

hello lovlies!  how is your valentine’s day?!  i hope it is going well, and you are celebrating with the ones you love!  i wanted to pop in to share a fun little treat with you!

my friend jane, of see jane blog made some yummy pretzel treats during christmas, and i have always wanted to try them.

for some reason when i went to buy the ingredients, i thought that she used rolos to make them (she used chocolate kisses).  but, it was a happy accident because the caramel addition made it extra sinful!

they are just about the simplest treat to make!  and, are super cute!

you can make them using chocolate and caramel rolos, or chocolate kisses!  either way, they are tasty!

head on over to jane’s blog for the full how-to!  click here.

DIY // marshmallow pops + free tag download

February 14, 2012

my kids and i made these fun marshmallow pops the other day, and they really couldn’t be more simple to make!  i saw some marshmallow pops when i was browsing the valentine section at target, and figured they would be very easy to make at home.
i came across some jumbo campfire brand marshmallows at wal-mart, so we thought the giant size would be perfect for this.
all you need is:
marshmallows- wal-mart
cookie pop sticks- wal-mart
melting chocolate- white or regular.  (i like to use almond bark)
sprinkles
cellophane bags
twine
tag
just melt your chocolate, place the stick in the top.  dip into chocolate, then dip/sprinkle with the sprinkles.  let the chocolate set, then you are good to go!
i put them in cellophane bags, and tied them up with bakers twine and a fun made with love tag.
for the free download of the “made with love” tag, click here.

they really were so proud of their creations, and even more happy to share them with their cousins!

have fun sharing the love!
