Treats to Give

Marshmallows dipped in chocolate and besprinkled by the Boo. Ditto for the shortbread cookies.

Bagged with packets of hot chocolate and carefully personalized by my little school boy. Yields Valentine treats for his classmates. {Yes, I continue my quest to use what we have.}

Boo thinks that these are the best Valentine treats ever. We sure had fun making them. He was very careful to insure that there would be a bag of cocoa and cookies to drop into his own classroom mailbag. Sweet boy.

And, for Boo's wonderful teacher... we'll call it a Truffle-a-Bloom!

For those we love who prefer finer things than marshmallows {ahem, the professor}, a Truffle-a-Bouquet. {I did buy the truffles especially for this... does anyone keep those on hand?}

Mmm, my mouth is watering! Those treats look way better than boxed candies!

You're so very creative.

The truffles I keep on-hand quickly go in-tummy. :)

Greatness! I have to admit that this is my favorite day at school! Yippee! The kids bring such sweet things (no pun intended) :). Have a great day! Kelly

Perfect! I saw chocolate dipped marshmallows in Real Simple magazine yesterday and thought of you! I might have to try them since I have everything on hand.

The Mister would prefer the truffle blooms, too! ;)

What creative Valentine treats for Boo's classmates and teacher!

There is no way truffles would live at my house for very long before they were gone bye-bye! I do keep Kisses in the freezer. I remember them whenever I have a craving.

Your kitchen should be added to the list of places that inspire you creativity.

Lady, you've outdone yourself! Great treats to give away. I'm still wishing that you lived next door so some of your creativity could rub off on me.

Have a fabulous weekend!
