While the flakes are falling, I'll be warm in my kitchen making snow. Faux Snow. Okay, I really didn't make the faux snow, I bought it. I did, however, make the snowflake bags!
Snowflake Gift Bags
Snowflake Gift Bags
With a few supplies, you can too!
Red Paper Bags
Elmer's Spray Adhesive
Fine Granulated Frosty Snow
1/4" Round Punch
Spray the bottom of the bag with the adhesive (one side at a time) and sprinkle with the snow. Punch a hole in the top and add a Snowy Ribbon!
Oh, don't forget to fill them with Snow Flake Popcorn Crunch!
POPCORN BAR RECIPE
Marshmallow Popcorn Bars
4 tablespoons butter
1 pkg. 10 oz. regular marshmallows
6 - 8 cups popped popcorn
Spray large mixing bowl with cooking spray.
Add popcorn.
In large saucepan, melt butter over low heat.
Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted.
Remove from heat.
Pour over popcorn and mix until completely coated.
Press into greased 9 x 13 pan.
Refrigerate until cool.
Flip
out of pan and cut into squares.
After making the popcorn bars, drizzle with red candy melts and sprinkle with snowflakes!Wrap with saran wrap before putting in the bags.
Don't worry, they won't melt!
Did you have a chance to enjoy mint chocolate coated non pareils during the holidays? I didn't. It's not too late and you can even make your own.
So simple really!
I sprinkled red and white non pareils in the bottom of mini muffin tin.
Top with a Dark Cocoa Mint Candy Melt and melt in warm oven for a few minutes - watch carefully!
Let set until firm and you've got your mints!
I ordered the tiny red boxes from Oriental Trading. After folding them open, I punched out a square and inserted clear plastic to cover the hole. Allowing the cuteness of the chocolate mint non-pareils to show through it was worth the effort!
Snow...Make It Happen!
Clever way to make non-pareil mints and it contains the mess - no beads spilling all over your kitchen:)
ReplyDeleteI have to admit, I spilled a few of the non pareils - after I was finished!
