Every year around Valentine's Day I start to get excited thinking about fun and unique treats to hand out to my son's classmates. When I decided to make these S'more Pops I instantly knew what I wanted them to say. My husband and I always say "I love you!" "I love you more!" "No, I love you more!" I know it sounds incredibly cheesy but doesn't it just make you giggle too? That's what Valentine's Day is all about! S'more Pops What You'll Need: • Graham Crackers • Marshmallow cream • … [Read more...]

Heart Marshmallows

After seeing this recipe from MarthaStewart.com, I decided heart-shaped marshmallows would make the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for my friends this year. I especially like this idea because these marshmallows pair up really well with my [hot chocolate truffle balls]. Plus, I like that they can be customized. For instance, you can add a flavor extract (like peppermint or vanilla), food coloring, or you can even dip them in chocolate if you want to make them super fancy. Homemade … [Read more...]

For Valentine’s Day this year, I thought I’d remind my friends and family how much I love them with a sweet chocolate treat to warm their mugs. These truffle balls are made with two simple ingredients, chocolate and heavy cream, and take very little time to prepare. Despite their simplicity, they make the best cup of hot chocolate you’ve ever tasted. Hot Chocolate Truffle Balls • 1 Trader Joe’s Pound Plus Dark Chocolate Bar (or 17.6 oz dark chocolate), chopped • 1 1/3 cups … [Read more...]

Valentine Rum Truffles

rumtruffles-400a

February has a far more relaxing vibe than the preceding two months. The most notable holiday is Valentine’s Day; a holiday you can choose to celebrate on a large scale by sending out a plethora of notes, or more laid back and intimately spent with your sweetheart. I insist on doing both. My favorite way to continue the creative momentum and warmth of the holidays, usually climaxing on New Year’s Eve, is to give my loved ones little treasures on Valentine’s Day. To make it extra special … [Read more...]

Candy-flowers-400x400b

My son is in first grade and his classroom is going to be having a Valentine's Day party soon. It's a traditional affair where the kids will hand out valentines to all of their fellow students and eat some sweet treats, probably do some arts and crafts too. He's really excited to show all of his friends how much he loves them, and I thought it would be fun to make something, instead of buying the paper print outs you'd find at the store. We came up with an idea to turn heart shaped suckers into … [Read more...]

For a cute and inexpensive way to celebrate Valentine’s Day, order a couple sheets of photo labels for all your kids (and you too) to make treats for the special people in your lives. I love the idea of having your photo on sweet little goodies. All you have to do is put the label on and hand them out! Simple and quite sweet. You will be remembered.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, so if you’re looking for a fun and inexpensive gift for kids and friends, bake up a batch of double thumbprint cookies! These are the perfect Valentine’s Day treat because, instead of your standard thumbprint cookies (which are round), the double thumbprint variety are gently pressed together and tapered at the bottom to form the shape of a heart. It’s the same classic taste with a festive new shape! Double Thumbprint Cookies Recipe adapted … [Read more...]
