Valentine's Day is such a great holiday -- you can express your love for anyone and everyone regardless of the intensity or depth of your emotions. It could be a passionate love that will last forever, a Sally Field Oscar moment ("really, really like"), or just someone whose talents and abilites (like a gifted teacher) you appreciate.
I plan to write more about Valentine's Day (and our family's LOVE week) in the next few days, but right now I wanted to share a cute, super easy recipe that I found on The Pioneer Woman's Tasty Kitchen website.
They are called Valentine's Day Buttons
Just 3 simple ingredients:
 |
| Pretzel Snaps |
 |
| white or pink melting disks (I used white, because the pink ones reminded me of Pepto Bismal) |
 |
| and red or pink chocolate candies (I removed the white later, when I realized they wouldn't show up against the white melting disks) |
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Place pretzels on baking sheet (pretty side up). Place melting disk on each one.
 |
| I know. I need a new cookie sheet |
Place in oven for just 2 minutes. Remove and place one chocolate candy on to the center of each disk. This could easily be a two person job - one person to put the candy on and another to push down a bit to really get the candy in place. Either that or don't make too many at a time -- otherwise you are rushing to finish before the disks set. Place your cookie sheet in a cool place (I used my refrigerator) to set.
 |
| The finished product. My future as a food stylist in doubt, trust me when I say these are so much cuter than my photography skills do justice. | | | | |
|
|
|
Now you can share these with your kids (wouldn't they be a fun lunchbox surprise?), your kids' friends, a teacher or just anybody. They would also make a great party treat or favor. Maybe you could even have a few yourself.
 |
I plan to put mine in these cute little bowls I found for 99 cents at my local craft store and share with some special friends.
