Valentine Treat Packages

In Arizona I was always looking for a cute way to wrap up store bought treats because the kids weren't allowed to take anything homemade to school.  In Texas that isn't the case, but store bought treats are still ten times easier if you are crunched for time. 

And they are still really cute and easy if you have a printable or template to do a lot of the work for you.

You can get the template for these cute treat cups at Martha Stewart:

And you can print out this cute box over at The Giving Madam:

And Food Art Party is letting you print these cute cupcake wrappers for free too:

Gumdrop Turkey Treats

For those of you that aren't fans of chocolate, here is a sweet turkey treat I found over at The Crafty Crow that might be right up your alley:

And I have to say, as far as colors go, this one is by far my favorite!  You can get the tutorial for this little guy over at Design, Wash, Rinse, Repeat.

Rice Krispie Turkey Treats

I am really starting to love Twitter!  It has about a million different uses for that social media beast, but I love the friendly little chats that you can have with other bloggers about your favorite blog posts!

Last night A Few of My Favorite Things shared a link to the blog Give Me Some Oven.  First, lets just take a minute to admire how cute that blog name is.  I love clever blog names and that one is right up there with some of my all time favorites.

Now, lets take a minute to check out these super cute Rice Krispie turkey treats that she made:

And they are even PEANUT BUTTER Rice Krispie treats.  That may not make them look much different, but it does make them almost twice as delicious.  Unless you don't like peanut butter, then you should just make them with regular Rice Krispie treats.

On a side note, PLEASE add a little vanilla extract to your Rice Krispie treats when you make them.  Trust me.

Now back to the turkey.  That cute turkey with all the perfect little details that you can make with just about any flavor Rice Krispie treat that your heart desires.  You can check them  out HERE.

Even More Turkey Treats

Inside Brew Crew Life made these cute turkey treats out of brownie bites.

Lizard and Ladybug made these ones with milk jugs (and then you can fill them with treats):

And A Big Story made these out of all sorts of yummy treats:

Caramel and Chocolate Dipped Pretzels

I am a fan of making and eating chocolate dipped pretzels around the holidays.  They are relatively inexpensive and a good filler to a holiday goodie tray you give your neighbors or work buddies.  If I am feeling super eager I will even dip them in caramel and then chocolate.

By super eager I really mean only when my oldest sister is helping.  She is the best person in the world to make treats with because she does the dishes while you do all of the fun stuff like dipping and decorating.  ALL of the dishes.  So the messy melted caramel in the pan, it has disappeared before the caramel even dries.

Unfortunately, when I moved away from Arizona I also moved away from the fabulous sister that does the dishes.  But Relatively Reagan may have saved my pretzels from a caramel-less existence.  She made these cute Thanksgiving pretzels:

and she used the caramel apple wraps.  I am pretty sure you could just use a rolling pin and roll out some regular caramels too, but cleaning up the pot of melted caramel might be easier than that.

What is your favorite dipped pretzel combination?
