Chocolate Covered Cherry Mice

Happy Halloween!

Today I want to share a quick and easy treat!

I love the way these look laying about on the table.

They aren't too spooky 

and you gotta love the ears and tail!

This is what you need:

A bag of Hershey Kisses

A jar of Marachino Cherries with stem

Sliced Almonds

Chocolate Bark

In a microwave melt chocolate bark. I used white and dark chocolate. Dip cherry in melted chocolate and set on wax paper. Lean a chocolate kiss on the cherry and place two almonds in between to make the ears and let cool. That's it! Make as many as you want.

Scatter then around the table at your party so they can be picked up and eaten by the tail of course!

The kids will love it!

EEK!

Enjoy your day!

Incredible Edible Valentine's Day Card

When deciding on a Valentine's Card for someone special, I usually go to the card isle in the grocery store. Spend hours reading everyone of them. I love cards and choosing the right one. Not this year. This year I got a little creative with it. This year I did something different.

 Who says a card has to be a flat piece of paper stock?

I perused The Graphic Fairy's site for a vintage graphic and printed it. One was a Valentine's Cherub and the other was a Valentine's heart. The heart said, " An Offering of Friendship"

very sweet

I then cut out the graphics and cut off the "wings" of the cherub and added my own feathers.

It adds that little something extra to the print.

I usually cut around the graphics I use.I like adding more detail too. I think this makes it more your own.

Then I glued them to this adorable glitter plastic cup, I love cups like these. I found them at the dollar store, so very inexpensive.

I gathered some crepe paper and ruffled it to use as a trim on the inside of the cup.

I added a key to the bow I wrapped along the handle and filled the cup with chocolate Kisses, mints, and Reeses. I will roll a little note when I present it and stick it through the key.

I think this is a fun alternative to a regular Valentine's Day Card. It is a 3-D version!Everyone likes a sweet treat.  A new Valentine's idea! The Incredible Edible Valentine's Day Card!
