Homemade Gifts~Dip it in Chocolate!

Miss Beaux has finals this week which means two things. 

One, she is slightly stressed and tired (and kind of grumpy.) 

And two, she is craving CHOCOLATE!!!  

She came home early yesterday from school 

so we made some chocolate goodies to give as gifts 

(and to snack on of course!)

What could be better than Chocolate Spoons?  

They are great for a hot cocoa station or to give as gifts.   

They are so easy to make.  

I melted a combination of Ghirardelli milk chocolate 

and semi sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler 

at a simmer and we dipped the spoons until they were coated. 

 We used crushed candy canes, sprinkles, marshmallow and icing to spiff them up.

We made a ton with plastic spoons to give as gifts.  

Just put some cellophane on them 

and tie them up with pretty ribbon.  

Our theory was that if spoons could be dipped in chocolate then pretzels would be even better!  

We made these with a mold that I bought at the store.

We melted the candy in a plastic bag and cut a tiny hole 

to drizzle it out into the molds.

There is Miss Beaux putting one of the pretzels in the mold.  

 Of course, we had a lot more fun just dipping the pretzels 

into the chocolate and decorating them on our own.  

I would say that we are more of a free flow family!  

It's much more fun!  

You would think that she got her share of chocolate 

but I'm not sure that she EVER does!  

And there are a few more days of finals left...

Until Next Time,

Beaux R'eves
