Chocolate-Dipped S'mores

Everyone loves s'mores. Everyone loves chocolate. So, here is a recipe from http://www.tipjunkie.com/all-crafts/smores/ for easy chocolate-dipped s'mores.

Ingredients:

• four graham crackers            
• four large marshmallows             
• chocolate chips
• sprinkles (optional)

Directions:

1. Break the graham crackers in half and put them on a plate. Add a marshmallow to four halves, and top the other four with chocolate chips.
2. Warm up the plate of marshmallow-crackers for about 10-15 seconds, but watch to make sure they don't explode or anything.
3. Warm up the chocolate-crackers for 25-30 seconds, or until chocolate melts. Top marshmallow-crackers with chocolate ones, and stick in freezer for about 5-10 minutes.

4. Melt about 1 cup of chocolate chips in the microwave (30-35 seconds) and scoop over s'mores. Add sprinkles or any other topping you want, like crushed cookies, and enjoy!

Floppy hats, Easter baskets, and Cookie Chicks

First, HUZZAH for floppy hats!! Nothing says tres fab like a nice, big, floppy hat. I got my first one today, and it won't be the last. It reminds me of the Coca-Cola commercial with "Lola" and David Beckham.



Second, as I promised, Home-made Easter Baskets are here. Attach tissue paper to a cotton candy container, tape a ribbon on the inside, and get ready to egg-hunt!
