Heat Seeking Calico

I promised myself I wasn't going to start posting a thousand pictures of my crazy cats on here since this blog was meant for crafts and food and other neat things. Well, I can't resist anymore.

A Tasty Treat for the Holidays

Every year my parents and I make up some tasty treats to give to neighbors and members of the choir at church. This year, I was inspired by my friend, HK. She made chocolate covered peanut butter cracker sandwiches to give away as party favors for a birthday party. It tastes great for a rather odd combination. Needless to say, I stole her recipe and made up a bunch of these to hand out. Want super easy instructions? Read on.
