Kiersten’s Blog

I’ve been trying to find fun activities to do with London lately.  She loves doing anything crafty.  I bought a Hello Kitty activity book at the library bookstore the other day and she’s always telling me she wants to do a craft.  We didn’t do anything from the book, but we did make this cute popcorn tree as we sang “Popcorn Popping on the Apricot Tree.”  She thought it was a lot of fun and she loved eating the popcorn.

On another note, I found a recipe for these yummy pretzel things on somebody’s blog the other day.  I really don’t remember who it was but I do know that it’s someone I don’t know at all.  You know how it is.  It was a link from somebody else’s blog.  Anyway, London loves making them.  We’ve done it twice now.  I think these ones turned out really cute.  They look kind of like cute little Easter nests.  We lined pretzels up on a foil lined cookie sheet and topped them with Hershey Hugs.  Then we baked them in a 400 〫 oven for 5 minutes.  When they came out we topped them with a Cadbury Mini Egg.  Yum!  They’re so easy and so good!  Last time we used Hershey Kisses and peanut butter M&Ms.  Those were really good too.  If you plan on making these delicious treats, know that the white chocolate melts faster than the milk chocolate so I think 5 minutes in the oven for the white chocolate was too long.
