Fun Valentine's Day Sweet Treats

Description: Easy treats to make for your kids for Valentine's Day.
Sponsors:
Children love to decorate for all holidays and they love to
help out in the kitchen and make crafts.
The following cover all three of these areas for some
special family fun!
Valentine's Day Popcorn Cake
1 cup butter
32 marshmallows
16 cups popped popcorn
1 cup conversation heart candy
1 cup chocolate covered peanuts
1 cup red hot candies
Melt butter and marshmallows in a large heavy pan over low
heat. Stir often.
Put popcorn into large pan. Pour marshmallow mixture over
top. Stir and mix well. Add peanuts and candy. Mix together.
Put mixture into a well greased angel food cake pan or cake
pan.
The deeper the pan the better the cake will look when you
place it on your cake plate.
Valentine's Day Candy House
Get your family together and make these adorable Valentine's
Day houses.
Each person will need the following:
a sturdy paper plate to sit their house on,
a small square box such as a pint size milk or juice carton,
enough graham crackers to cover their boxes.
Everyone will need easy access to the following:
Melted white chocolate to use for glue,
Arrangement of bowls of candies and other edible decorations
such as:
Conversation hearts, chocolate kisses, pretzels, red, pink &
white sprinkles, colored sugars, red hots, coconut.
How to Put the House Together:
Simply paint the crackers and the box with the melted white
chocolate and put the crackers where you want them on the
house in order to cover it. For the roof it is easier to
just lay the graham cracker down flat instead of trying to
angle 2 together for the roof.
Then use the melted chocolate to adhere the candies to the
house.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar for a frosting of light snow.
Display your Valentine's Day town for all to see.
Don't forget to get some pictures of the cute houses and the
fun time making them.
