Hot Chocolate Spoons


I actually made these before Christmas, but I thought they would work for Valentine's Day as well!  
I'm sure you could think of lots of cute tags like:

You're Hot Stuff!
You Stir Me!
Valentine, You Warm My Heart!

OK, OK, you get the picture!


I found these cute bamboo spoons at Party City in a package of 12 for $3.99. They're slightly oversized, which means, MORE CHOCOLATE! The girls and I made these assembly line style with melted chocolate in the slow cooker.  Dip, place on parchment, and add as many marshmallows as you can make stick.


Or use up all those left over candy canes for a peppermint version!

Attach a tag that reads:  Stir into one cup of hot milk!


We put together 60 of these in about an hour!
The girls are now ready to go into business!

Love this idea especially with the use of left over candy canes. I love stirring my hot chocolate with a candy cane but it takes forever to melt. This would be a very quicker way I would thing to get the candy to melt .

A great gift idea, especially for Valentine's Day. I may use this as a gift for my daughter's teacher. Yum!

MMM, MMM GOOD! And the bamboo spoons are a nice alternative to the ubiquitous plastic.

So cute! And into milk, rather than hot chocolate? I was surprised.

Glad to find you through Ann's linkup!

Butter Bean Soup

Happy New Year!  We are off to a cold start! It's so cold that the Governor cancelled school for the entire state! That never happens. Up here in Minnesota, when it gets cold, we just pull up our snow pants and pull down our hats.  In the South, they say it's not the heat, it's the humidity.  Up North, we say it's not the cold, it's the wind.  Windchill temperatures (what it actually feels like), are said to be -40 to -50 degrees Fahrenheit. That's the coldest it's been since 1996 - just shortly before we moved to Atlanta.  Hmmmm…… it's all coming back to me now.  Nevertheless, my 16-year old says it's a great way to start second semester! When it's cold outside, there is nothing I love more than making soup. Soup is the perfect excuse to stand over a hot stove on a cold day. You can hold soup in a coffee mug and let it warm your hands. You can sip soup in the same mug and let it warm you from the inside out. There's a reason for ...

Dr. Seuss Snacks!

Image
One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish.  I admit it.  I love Dr. Seuss!  A collection of these sing-song-y rhymes was the first thing I put on the bookshelves of our very first baby nursery.  Four kids later, I now have talents that include being able to recite The Cat In The Hat from memory! In honor of the late great Dr. Seuss (He would have been 107 on March 2nd) we are making these cute snacks!  Absolutely no skill or talent required! Simply start with a box of blue Jell-O..... and divide into four clear plastic cups. (The fish have to have a place to swim!) After the Jell-O has set, have the kids add their own fish!  (Swedish Fish, that is!) Ella's kindergarten class gets a Dr. Seuss party after they have collectively read 107 books! Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

Candy Cornucopia

Image
I wasn't sure if I should call these "Candy Corn"ucopia or "Waffle Cone"ucopia.   Either way, I thought they would make a cute Thanksgiving take home treat for the kids in 1st grade.   OK, forget the kids!  What grown-up wouldn't love a cone of treats sitting at their table? To make, simply buy some waffle cones and dip the edges in melted chocolate.  I added "Gold Sugar" to the edges to make them prettier!  Fill with Caramelized Crispy Snack Mix . Add candy corn and candy pumpkins. If you use them as a take home item, simply insert the waffle cones into cone-shaped cellophane bags. Tie with raffia. Don't forget to Give Thanks this Thanksgiving!
