Ice Cream Christmas Ornaments

530298_477419642310148_1531513395_nPreform these in advance and pull them out with lots of ohhs and ahhs.

Make round scoops of ice cream and roll bottom into candy sprinkles – think all red, all green, green and red, multi (like is shown). On the side take Reece’s Peanut Butter cuts (small) and poke a hole on one side and then directly across from the other. Take a piece of string licorice and make a loop as the ornament hanger. Freeze well before you serve.

Strawberry Whipped Cream Santa Treats

60720_327520874027434_1397626496_nAnother very easy treat. Cut tops off of strawberries. Toss these and then cut the tip off but keep these.  Pipe whipped cream and place cap back on top of this. Place two dots of whipped cream to make buttons. Then top the cap with whipped cream to make a puff on Santa’s hat. With the tip of a toothpick touch the whipped cream with a dot of black food coloring. Serve.

Pretzel Hershey Kiss M&M Quick Treats

295757_366398673449765_1321707704_nWho doesn’t like easy – quick – delicious and very pleasing to the eye?

The hardest thing about this is to locate circle pretzels which took a look at three different stores before I found them at Target. I also purchased Hershey Kisses and red and green M&M’s.

I placed the circle pretzels out on a cookie tin and put on as many as would fit. I then unwrapped Hershey Kisses and placed one in each circle. I then put then in a preheated over on 200 degrees for about four minutes. You are done when you can push the Hershey Kiss down.

I then placed one M&M down on the top of the Hershey Kiss and used the back of a spoon to press it all the way down. Then I let them cool.

You are done – so cool and delicious that i now need to make more – opps!

Melting Snowman Sugar Cookies

Snowman_Cookie_WEBHow cool and how SIMPLE! Do we love it? YES!

Make your favorite sugar cookie recipe. Make your favorite sugar cookie icing recipe when cookies are cooled and make a “puddle” that looks like the snowman has already melted. While the icing is still wet, stick a marshmallow to one side. Let icing dry. Use a red/orange candy sprinkle for the nose and black icing to make eyes, mouth and arms. Use blue icing for the scarf (or change this color up) and green for buttons (or change this color up as well).

I told you it was simple – and it looks so cool you people will think you took a lot of time to create your masterpieces.
