Here’s the thing.
This past weekend I flew down to Arkansas to visit Kristan.
Flying isn’t my favorite, I have to say. I get sweaty and nervous and spot bad guys pretty much at every turn.
Which kind of forces me to engage my spy-sensibilities…
It might be possible that I have been watching too much Homeland lately, but I am convinced I would be a fairly good CIA agent.
I like to solve crimes. I like to interrogate people, I mean, just ask my husband. And although I don’t enjoy pant suits, I’m fairly certain with a cute statement necklace or a few fun bangles I could make it work.
Anyway, I was so busy planning escape routes, take-down plans and choreographed karate kicks while sipping complimentary Diet Cokes that the flight was over.
So while I was in Arkansas visiting Kristan, we decided that it would be fun to bake together.
And of course as food bloggers we needed a baking theme. Of course.
So in preparation for the most annoying holiday of the year we decided on Valentine’s treats.
A whole week of Valentine’s treats.
Are you rolling your eyes yet?
To kick off the fun week of Valentine’s treats I made Krispie Treats. Valentine’s Krispie Treats. Totally.
These honestly couldn’t be easier.
All you have to do is make some basic krispie treats. Here’s my recipe.
I cut them out with a heart cookie cutter…If you don’t have a cutter, you can easily hand cut them…
Then melt some candy melts and dip the tops…
I melted some pink melts as well to drizzle on top…
While those set I made the arrows.
Cut some Popsicle sticks in 2 inch segments…
Use some card stock or construction paper to make the arrow tips…
and the feathery thing on the back of an arrow…
I used glue dots to attach the card stock to the Popsicle stick, but you could use hot glue.
Then dip the end of the stick into a little melted chocolate and press it carefully into the krispie on the diagonal…
That’s it!
Hope over to Confessions of a Cookbook Queen and check out her Red Velvet Cake Batter Hearts!!
So cute!! Shamrocks would be cute and also bunnies for Easter.
Shelly, these are so cute!
I’m going to make these for a meeting in February…they will be perfect!
Simply adorable! The arrow is a fun touch!
Yeah, I have a hard time getting into Valentine’s Day, but these are too cute!
What a great idea!
Those are so cute and I love how simple they are!!! Love them!!!
I love these! Valentine’s Day and I are frenemies, but I would have a torrid love affair for a day if I got to nosh on these. Crazy cute! And I am completely on board with you and flying situation. Pun totally intended.
These are so cute I can’t even stand it.
I bet you 2 had a blast! I hope you got enough Lucy cuddles 🙂
