Valentine's Day

So this was the first holiday since I started this blog so I decided to flex my creative muscles in the form of treats. I must admit I was pretty excited with how it all turned out.

First I made sugar cookies with royal icing..

I also made mini chocolate cupcakes with butter-cream frosting. 

But the one I am most proud of are my Rice Krispie Treats. 

I decided to make them look like giant Hershey kisses!! (Okay. I admit it. This was not an original idea by me. I got it form another blog I follow: http://beeinourbonnet.blogspot.com/)

I made the treats just like I always do. Then I sprayed my hands and inside of a funnel with cooking spray. Then I took a medium sized ball and pushed it into the funnel.

 Voilà! A Hershey shaped treat!!

I then wrapped them in foil with a strip of paper that had Happy Valentine's Day printed on it in blue.

 I was pretty impressed with myself.
