Hey Chirpers.
I know it’s been a while. But here I am back with the Valentine’s day projects I made for the kids.
Everyone knows my love for Pinterest, but some of you might not know my love for Asian food.
This year I went with the Fortune cookies. They were soooo easy to make, I was suprised. These are from the Martha Stewart Show:

It was really easy as pie. Simple ingredients:
Felt, wire cutters, floral wire, ribbon, glue and a message
I went with the pink and the red and just a simple little message. Happy Valentines Day from Little Red or Big Red as applicable 🙂 I did do colored ink just for fun.
For the class snack, I went with the chocolate covered strawberries. I love this snack because it takes all of about 15 minutes to make.
All you need is meltable chocolate, strawberries and a microwave.
First I clean the strawberries, leaving the tops on.
Slowly melt the chocolate in the microwave following instructions.
HINT: If you chocolate doesn’t get thin enough…add Crisco. This thins in out, but also allows the chocolate to harden back up. It won’t re-harden with oil or milk.
Then I just dip and let dry.
Fast, easy and delicious. MUCH cheaper than purchasing them in the store.
If you’re so inclined, add drizzles of white or pink chocolate for a more fancy look.
Until next time….OXOX
