Remembering Martin Luther King Jr With a Sweet Treat!

Hey everyone!  Hope everyone is having a fab break.  I can't believe it's almost over.   I blinked and break is over!    

My Christmas was amazing!  Got so many goodies and loved spending time with family because it doesn't happen a lot since we are all so busy.    So it was nice QT.

Before I show you my latest updates, let me show you what I made for my fiance's huge family.  I decided to make his huge family these sweet little treats.   I got this idea from Planting Happiness.  

   It was so easy to make!  I decided to pass on the alcohol attached to the jar and decided to attach chocolate covered pretzels instead.  Unfortunately you can't see the pretzels from the shot but trust me it's there and it was so darn good.

This was so easy to make!  let me walk you through it.

You will need:
*mason jar
*hersheys dark cocoa ( big box )
*bulk mini marshmallows
*mini chocolate morsels (big bag)
*peppermint candy 

Give each jar about 1 cup of hot cocoa.  Then firmly pack the mini marshmallows.  I added about a 1/4 cup of choc. chips and then a few peppermint candies.  

I bought a yard of Christmas fabric and placed it on top of the mason jar lid then turned the top.   I added the card last minute.  

I think it was so easy and about $5.50 to make.  Not bad!  I made about 8 jars and gave 1-2 per family.  They loved it. =) 


I'm still munching on the pretzels.

Hey everyone!  Oh my goodness, it's been so long since my last post.  Hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas!  I am sure everyone got everything they needed. =)  I was definitely spoiled this Christmas from my honey.  He knew my old laptop (a gift from him) was getting restless and rusty.  So what did he do?  Get me a Mac Pro!  Ahhh this laptop is just like heaven.  So smooth and quick, I love it!  I am still getting used to it and still installing and transferring files but it's great. He's Just Perfect!

 

This last week or so I took a break from blogging/crafting/pinning.   I wanted to take a long break from everything and just spend time with my family and my fiance!  Trust me I missed it.  Whenever I got a vision of a craft or an idea I had to quickly draw a picture so I wouldn't forget it.  But anywho I am back and with a new craft and a giveaway to start the New Year.         Woo Hoo!
