Quick & Easy White Chocolate Oreo Treats


Last week my kids went to a piano recital and brought cookies.  From Target.  Are you feeling better about yourself yet?  It just seems to be that kind of year.  Every project is taking longer than expected putting me just a little further and further behind.


For our extended family Christmas get together today, I volunteered to bring goody bags for the 18 kids that would be attending.  At first I was thinking of some really cute large Gingerbread Cookies in cellophane bags.  Then time ticked on and I was going to scale it back to large rice krispie treats drizzled with red and green candy melts.  Then more time ticked on and I came up with this:  White Chocolate Oreos with a dark chocolate drizzle. Perfect.  The great thing about this project is that most of the work is done for you!


 It took me less than 30 minutes to drizzle ten dozen cookies!
I love these chocolate piping bags I found at Michael's.  
They bring piping chocolate to new levels of perfection!


Who wouldn't want to receive such deliciousness?


We attached a Caribou Coffee Gift Card so that the moms kids could enjoy a cup of hot chocolate with their semi-homemade treats.


'Tis the season!

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!

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!
