Candy Cane Valentine




If you're like me,  you might have a lot of candy canes left over from Christmas.  Or, you might wait until they are 90% off and pay next to nothing for a box.  I think I paid 20 cents for 44 candy canes.  I love being able to take one thing and use it for another.  All you need to make this heart is two candy canes and red ribbon.  I hot glued the top and bottom of the candy cane. Then I tied a ribbon and curled the ends and glued it to the front of the heart.  I took another piece of ribbon, made a loop and tied the bottom and glued it to the back.  That's it!  Cute!

Here is my patriotic version.  Some friends of mine helped me make over 100 of these last night to hand out at the  Veteran's Breakfast that will be held March 2nd in Pepperell, MA.  My daughter, Megan and I organized a little variety show for the Veterans.  Megan and her sister, Ryan will be dancing along with a lot of their dance friends.  There will be a few other acts as well.  We appreciate everything our Veteran's and military families do for us and we just want to give back a little.

    Congratulations, Moragh, you are my FIRST poster!!!! I've never seen a candy corn made into a bee. Do you have to add anything to it?

    Great blog Peggy - professional! This candy cane decoration is so cute. Unfortunately they don't really celebrate valentines day in Paris.

    Thanks, Linda, I'll wish you a Happy Valentine's Day. I suppose you could celebrate even if your neighbors don't :)

Crock Pot Spiced Nuts

Have you ever bought hot nuts from a street vendor in New York City?  It's the best!  My daughter, Megan, LOVES nuts, especially sugar-coated ones.  I found this recipe on Pinterest and I made a few changes here and there.  I won't say it's the fastest way to make these type of nuts, but it certainly is easy.  Make sure you are going to be home for several hours, though.

Bailey's Irish Cream Fudge

adapted from iVillage.com March 1995 This is an obvious choice for my second recipe since I just mentioned it in the last post.  I'm not kidding when I tell you that this is the best fudge you will ever eat.  It is my daughter, Ryan's favorite fudge ever.  The best part is it makes 5 lbs., definitely enough to go around.  I make this every Christmas.

Whoopie Pies (Black Moons)

Recipe I found in a church cookbook more than 25 years ago I have very fond memories of eating Black Moons when I was a child.  The problem is as I grew up I could not find the recipe that replicated the taste that I remembered.  I was constantly searching for just the right recipe.  I finally found the exact recipe and it tasted exactly as I had remembered it.  I think I was a little shocked at what the ingredients were for the cream.  But, you can't beat the taste.  I love a huge Whoopie Pie.  I soon discovered that I could melt different colored candy wafers and personalize them for special events.  It's also fun to change the color of the cream with food coloring.  I hope you will love these as much as I do - a little piece of childhood.
