I know it’s not Friday, but these were too fun to pass up.

Tracy at The Barger Family made these really simple and cute treats.

These are GREAT for Thanksgiving snacks.

Chocolate Pretzel Squares

~ Pretzel Squares ~ Wilton Melts ~ Holiday Candy ~

Arrange pretzel squares in a single layer on a cookie sheet. Place a Wilton’s melt on each pretzel and bake for 5 minutes at 150 degrees (or until the chocolate is soft). Press M&M (or other holiday candy) in the middle of the melt.

Super EASY!!
Super CUTE!!

This would be great with Christmas candy too!!

{ Thank you TRACY for sharing this FUN Nummie!! }

This cup of cocoa is just the right temperature for your little one!!
Serve a cup of steaming cocoa with this fun sandwich.
Don’t forget the marshmallows!!

~~~~

Hot Cocoa

~ Sandwich ~ Marshmallow ~ Pretzel Sticks ~

Make any sandwich you want.  Cut the top off of the sandwich and then cut a half circle out to create the handle. Squeeze the handle into a tighter circle to make it smaller so it looks better on the side of the sandwich. Use a large marshmallow for the whip cream and two pretzel sticks for decoration.

Now all you need is a blanket and a good book!!

It’s TURKEY time!!

Tom Turkey

~ Bread ~ Peanut Butter ~ Embellishments ~ Pretzel Sticks ~

Spread peanut butter or anything sticky on 2 pieces of bread.  Cut one piece into 5 pieces (as shown) for the feathers. Set the other piece of bread on top of the feathers as shown. Use whatever you would like to decorate each of the feathers.  I used swirled choc caramel chips, broken pretzels, raisins, cheerios, and mini choc chips.  Use 2 choc chips for the eyes and a piece of cracker, chip, candy corn, or whatever you have for the beak.  I stretched out a red gummy for the wattle/snood and used broken pretzel sticks for his feet.

Your kids will GOBBLE him up!!!

Same idea as the Witch Hats, but they are Pilgrim Hats.

~~~~

Pilgrim Hats

~ Pillsbury Creation Dough ~ Cinnamon ~ Sugar ~

Take a can of pillsbury creation dough and cut it into rectangles.  Stretch out one end as you roll it up twice.  Use non stick spray or butter to coat them and sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on top. Bake as directed.

Embellish with whatever you want, or eat them as is.

Don’t you just love the leaves blowing in the wind this time of year?

Have your kids choose a leaf and make a sandwich out of it!!

~~~~

Leaf Sandwich

~ Bread ~ Peanut Butter ~ Honey ~

Cut, or cookie cutter, a leaf shape out of a piece of bread. I just followed the shape of the leaves my girls chose. Spread peanut butter and honey on another slice of bread.  Put the pieces together to make your sandwich.  Use a knife to draw the leaf pattern into peanut butter and honey.

Love the falling leaves!!
