Coal Cookies

Monday, November 30, 2015 No comments
 I needed some gifts last year for my friends on the naughty list.  Which means....I had to double this recipe.  I've seen different versions of this treat around, but I found a free printable and tutorial at 1825.
If you have friends that meet these qualifications this year, all you need to do to throw these together is to prepare rice crispie treats as the box requires (usually 4 1/2 c. of the cereal added to 1/4 c butter and 1 10 oz bag of marshmallows that have been melted together on the stove.).  Add black dye...it takes a lot to go from purple to gray to black.  Instead of pressing it flat into a pan and cutting bars, just pull out clumps with a spoon you rub butter around (it'll stick to everything).  Place on wax paper to cool.  You can reshape a bit once it cools.  Bag.  Tag.  Deliver.  Save Santa some time.

This week I'll be posting a few projects I did last year....but didn't post about....and while these are posting....I'll be configuring the finishing touches on the projects I'll be putting together for this year....some of which I'll be sharing over the next months, but the others.....they'll go into the good ol' blog file for next year.  Above are the photos of this week's projects.  I'll attach links as the week goes by that will include tutorials and sources.   Crush on You, Chocolate Popcorn Balls, You A-Maze Me, Heart Chips Hot Stuff, Cake Balls in cute Boxes.  
Below is a post from last year, click and you can go to the links for 14 Valentine's projects from years gone by, or just click on the Valentin's Label below my name and you can search to your hearts content (the word heart strategically placed for holiday appropriate mood language). 

Here is a link to 14 projects and recipes I posted about last year. 



and now....I have exactly one month to work on that whole 'get a Valentine' thing.  Which might cut into my 'make a Valentine for every person I know, or might meet over the next month.  Decisions.  Decisions.
