{Finished project}

This is what you'll need:

Giant Roasters Marshmallows

Chocolate chips

Valentine's Day sprinkles

Red Ribbon

Get your supplies together and lay out the marshmallows on wax paper.

Melt your chocolate chips in microwave, approximately 15 seconds, make sure you watch it as you don't want it to burn.

Dip marshmallows into the melted chocolate then in the sprinkles you chose ~ that's all there is to it. And of course a cute assistant, is a must!

How would you like to learn to make these deliciously yummy milkshakes?

They are so easy, you will be saying, "Why didn't I think of that?"

You can find the My Sweet Valentine mini cards in our shop, here for an instant download.

Here is what you will need:

Vanilla Ice Cream

Whipping Cream

Milk

Conversation Hearts

Corn Syrup

A large mug

Rolling pin or meat mallet {we used the mallet}

Plastic baggie

We placed about 30 of the candies in a small snack sized baggie and crushed them with our meat mallet into mini pieces or smaller.

This about the size they will be - if you can get them smaller that would be great, but this size works well too.

Add a touch of corn syrup to the rim of the glass {we used a cotton swab} and place the glass upside down into the crushed hearts. This will allow the candy to adhere to the rim. Because of the heat here in Dallas already, I placed our mug in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.

While the mug is firming up, gather your ice cream and milk:

Scoop 4-6 large scoops of ice cream and place it in the blender**

Add about a 1/2 Cup Milk

Blend well

**amount will depend upon the size of your mug(s).

Once your candy sprinkled is cold, add your milkshake and top it with a generous amount of whipping cream and a perfect conversation heart

and there you have it - A Sweet Milkshake Valentine Treat to serve your Valentine!

Have you made anything like this before? We would love to hear all about it.

Do you think your Valentine will like this? I know my little Valentines sure will! I had to test it out to make sure it was as good as it looked and it was even more so! LOL

The kids and I made these cute little lip and heart shaped cake sandwiches this weekend and wanted to share them with all of you.

We used Wilton's lips and heart cutters and a mini heart from The Pampered Chef to create these.

Supplies:

1 box Red Velvet cake mix

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

8 oz. cream cheese ~ softened

1/2 cup unsalted butter ~ softened

Here's the how to:

Prepare a box red velvet cake mix according to package directions. Then pour the mixture into a 15"x10" rimmed cookie sheet {flour it & line with parchment paper}.

{will look like this before baking}

Bake this for about 15 minutes, or until you insert a toothpick & it comes out clean. I let it cool for about 10 minutes, then flipped it out onto a large cutting board and peeled off the parchment paper {LOVE this stuff}. While the cake is cooling, mix the softend cream cheese and butter together, adding the powdered sugar a little at a time {or you'll have a mess like we did :( }. Mix this until it's creamy. After all of this is completed, use your cookie cutters to cut out the hearts and lips, then cut them in 1/2 {horizontally}. Using a piping bag, pipe the cream cheese mixture onto half of the lips and hearts, then top with the remaining lips and hearts. I used my mini heart to cut small hearts out of the large hearts. I sprinkled the top of the lips and hearts with more powdered sugar. Be creative!! **NOTE: turn the lips and hearts cut sides down, so you don't have the "holes" like we did. It'll look nicer** Make sure you refrigerate these, otherwise they'll get gooey.

The kids were super proud to show their daddy & they can't wait to share them with our neighbors!

I hope you have a Super Great Day!!!
