Treat Ideas

Happy Valentine's Day! 

Once in awhile I try to be creative.  Here's the treats I made for each of my kids' teachers (apple-n-dip) and classmates (brownies; cupcakes--not pictured).  It took some preparations but it was fun!  I'll have to do this kind of stuff more often ..not too often ..I've got a pile of dishes to wash now.   :)

In jar: caramel-cream cheese mix topped with caramel & toffee bits
(I'm giving one of these to the sisters I visit teach too!)


Jinky's Accidental Fudge-Strawberry Marble Brownies
It doesn't look pinkish in this picture but it has a slight hue of pink
To make:
Prepare brownie mix in 9x13 pan as box instructions
Drizzle about 1/4C of strawberry prepared cake mix on top of brownie batter
With plastic knife, zig-zig swirl batter for marble effect
Bake, cool, and cut in small squares
Enjoy! :)
