Today I received a little book I had ordered from paperbackswap, Classroom Favorites Take-to-School Treats for Every Holiday by Leigh Ann Michael. I don't have any grandchildren or work with kids anymore but it sounded like an interesting book and it is. Lots of quick and easy recipes that would be great to use at home too. Not for those that are into low sugar and no food additives though :) lots of sugar in there. Here are some of the treats from the Valentine's section.
Cupid's Cups
Valentine cup cake liners
1 box chocolate cake mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup oil
24 mini-peanut butter cup candies
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place cupcake liners in muffin pan. Prepare cupcakes according to package direction, except bake the cupcakes for 10 minutes and then remove from the oven. Place 1 peanut butter cup candy in the center of each cupcake, return to oven and bake for another 10 minutes. Cool and serve.
Be Mine Butterfinger Pie
1 large box chocolate pudding
1 large container whipped topping
3 Butterfinger candy bars, cut into bite sized pieces
1 ready made chocolate pie crust
Mix pudding according to package directions. Add whipped topping and candy pieces. Mix until all ingredients are well blended. Pour into pie crust. Chill and serve.
Disappearing Mini Cheesecups
1 box cheesecake mix (Jello brand type)
vanilla wafers
1 can strawberry or cherry pie filling
Prepare cheesecake according to package directions. Put 1 vanilla wafer into bottom of a muffin tin. Pour cheesecake mixture over wafer. Top with pie filling. These will not last long.
