Elf on the Shelf Ideas | Melted Snowman Cookies

We love bringing you new Elf on the Shelf Ideas. We also love sharing Christmas Food Crafts! That being said, we had to combine our two holiday loves into one – Elf on the Shelf Melted Snowman Cookies!

We wanted to make these cookies simple. We used refrigerated sugar cookie dough for our base. This is something to make with your kids, maybe cookies you use for Santa, or make them alone while the kids are in school. We made them alone since our kids still believe in Elf and then hid them that day. In the evening we took them out with a hair dryer as if Elf had melted the cookies. We used a Felt Letter Board to write the phrase – Whoops!

These cookies are fun to make with the kids, but it might be a good idea to make them while they are at school and hide them so that you can make this cute little Elf on the Shelf vignette.

Melted Snowman Cookies Directions:

First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

You will want to form the cookie dough into ping pong sized balls, press partially down and place on the baking sheet.

Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

When your cookies are out of the oven, let them cool and mix together your frosting.

To make your frosting, combine your powdered sugar, milk, corn syrup and almond extract until creamy.

Pour your frosting in a decorating bag and cut a small tip off the end. Use the decorating bag to draw a wavy circle on the cookie and fill in with frosting.

In a microwave safe bowl, heat the light cocoa candy melts on 50% power for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted and poured into a decorating bag.

Also mix together 1 cup of vanilla frosting with orange food coloring and scoop into a decorating bag.

Use the brown and orange decorating bags to draw a face on the marshmallow.

For the snowman head, place the marshmallow onto the cookie towards the back of the cookie.

You will want buttons! Place two M&M’s onto the cookie in front of the marshmallow.

Use the brown decorating bag to draw stick arms on each side of the marshmallow.

Enjoy your Melted Snowman Cookies!

Fa-BOO-lous Teacher Gift for Halloween

Fa-Boo-lous Teacher Gift for Halloween with Free Printable

I was a teacher for a number of years before having my children… my five children.  Because of my background, I always want the teacher to know how appreciated she is. I always appreciated it when parents recognized me (even with small gestures) and i want to do the same for my kids’ teachers. Because of my five children, I can’t always be present or who my gratitude in person. There are many ways I have showed it otherwise. I have bought nice quality candy bars during checkout of the grocery store, I have picked up small $5 Starbucks Gift Cards (take a look at our awesome printable there) and I have had the kids write notes of thanks on various occasions.

I wanted to give you all something creative and crafty. We made ghost spoons to gift to a Fa-BOO-lous teacher. We are giving you the FREE Printable Halloween gift tag, so you can make white chocolate ghost spoons with us or you can gift the tag attached to a gift that you choose. It’s your call.  It’s yours free for being a loyal reader! It’s our Halloween thank to you!

We have the cutest Dracula food craft for you this fall season. These Vampire Halloween Donuts will have anyone craving a mouth-watering bite of this tasty Halloween doughnut. I want to suck… that icing! 

Mouth-Watering Vampire Halloween Donuts

Mouth-Watering Vampire Halloween Donuts

I seriously love planning Halloween for you all.  I think some of my most creative posts cover Halloween (if I may pat myself on the back- ha ha!) I am not sure if it is the temperatures cooling off, the lull of creativity over summer, or the beginning of the seasons, but I love when Halloween season hits and I can come up with all these creative food crafts and Halloween decorations.

This week we wanted to bring to you these very creative Halloween Food Crafts – Dracula Donuts. Speaking of donuts, I had to do some research among my friends – how do you spell donuts? Donuts or Doughnuts? I do it both ways so you will see me interchange the words in the post, but the majority of the vote spelled it donuts – we all blame Dunkin Donuts for the evolution of the word. Dictionary.com prefers doughnuts…. I digress.

Halloween Donuts Ingredients

Back to our tasty Halloween treats. I especially loved this recipe, because it is easy and you can create these adorable vampires in a matter of minutes. In addition to doughnuts (we just picked up some pre-made cake doughnuts at the grocery store but Krispy Kreme would be a great idea too), you will need a few supplies.  Fake vampire teeth are a must. We picked up two dozen for around $5 – a pretty good deal to me!  Also grab 1 container of purple frosting, red gel icing, and black icing.  I think a black gel tube or a black icing writer would be best for this, as well, to properly shape the hairline.  We used black dots for the eyes because I had no candy eyes in my pantry but I have always loved the Wilton Candy Eyes when doing food crafts. They were really cute on our Halloween Jalapeno Popper Mummies.

Enjoy your tasty vampires!

Celery Mummy Snacks for Halloween

I really try to incorporate the season into my kids daily activities and recipes. I don’t do something every day, in fact sometimes it’s a struggle to get one thing done during the week, but I love making them feel special with creative and EASY Pinterest ideas. Easy being the key word.

In an effort to find something healthy that the kids would love, we came up with our Celery Mummy Snacks. This Kid’s Halloween Kids Food Craft is so simple you might make it as an after school snack every day! The kids can also have their hand in making it as there are a few simple ingredients and they tools are easy – use  butter knife and get it all done!

Eggs in a Hole Breakfast Recipe

Eggs in a Hole Breakfast Recipe


Hello breakfast! This is an easy breakfast to make for yourself, the spouse or the kids before beginning the day.  It takes about 10 minutes and is a filling, hearty breakfast.  Serve with a slice of ham and some orange juice and enjoy!

Ingredients:

  • Eggs
  • Bread
  • Butter cooking spray (or use a slice of butter)*
  • 5″ circle cookie cutter
  • 2″ circle cookie cutter
  • Salt
  • Pepper

* I also love my Copper Nonstick Fry Pan and you could substitute butter all together!


Eggs in a Hole Breakfast Recipe

Directions:

  1. Use your large 5″ circle cookie-cutter to cut out a circle from each slice of bread.
  2. Use your smaller 2″ circle cookie-cutter to cut out a smaller circle from your larger circle.
  3. Spray a large pan with a nonstick cooking spray (or butter) and lightly spray your bread loops.
  4. Turn your burner to medium-high heat.
  5. Place your bread loops into your large pan and cook each side for about five seconds so it is lightly toasted.
  6. Carefully break the egg open into each bread loop and let the egg cook thoroughly (until the yolk is soft and the white is cooked).
  7. Carefully flip your egg in a hole toast over for about a minute to ensure the egg is cooked.
  8. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and enjoy!

Note: Eating raw/undercooked eggs can significantly increase your risk of developing a food borne illness.
