Just think of all of the fun you could create taking the standard recipe for gingerberead and make a spooky Halloween house. Here I used graham crackers. This is just very basic – the more elaborate the better.
I always have loved this time of year because we get to consume candy corn. I love candy corn when it is made of real honey instead of cheap sugars for sweetness. This is also done very quickly and is a great snack – Bananas and Candy Corn!!!
You can use a ripe banana and insert the tips of candy corn into the banana. You can also use peanut butter over banana and then insert candy corn. The peanut butter adds two import factors: It tastes better with peanut butter and it helps keep the banana from going bad quickly since air is kept from it.
This Anti-Depression Kit is such a cool little kit that can be made very cheaply. You could make a few and pass them out to friends when you think they may need a little cheering up. I have also heard of them have a variety of sweets and salty snacks with the caption “something good to know there is still good in life”. They can be made in a zip-lock or a little box obtained from Michael’s or Hobby Lobby. Such a good cheap gift that will surely make someone have a big smile.
Who ever said that Gingerbread houses are just for Christmas? We see them a lot for Halloween now but for Valentines Day?!?!? Here we have a great simple gingerbread house design assembled with all kinds of Valentines Day goodies. This would be a great gift and can be stuffed with even more goodies for a special gift. I have seen these for Halloween and Christmas that the roof is actually a lid – how cool would that be?
A sinful treat that is so very easy to create. Slice strawberry in half and dip all cut sides in sugar. This will prevent early spoiling of the strawberry. Place cut sides of each strawberry down so that it creates a heart shape. Push a toothpick through the sides to give you a solid heart form that won’t move. Melt chocolate chip (of your favorite type) in a slow cooker on low. Use tongs and dip the entire strawberry into the chocolate. Place on wax paper to harden. Then drizzle colored icing or a different type of chocolate across and immediately sprinkle sugar or colored sugar or sprinkles or edible glitter on top. Tap off excess. Enjoy!
