Valentines Treat Bag


Need a cute way to present and give your Valentines treats. Here's how to make these "Happy Heart Day" bags. Figure out the size of cello bag you have so you can get the width measurement. Organize your word processing document so that you have the right width. Then type out Happy and Day with enough space in between for the heart punch and above the words for the fold over. Print out onto card stock. Cut apart. Punch a heart with your puncher in between the Happy and Day. Put a small piece of red ribbon behind the opening and tape into place. Fill bag with treats and secure the tag to the top of the bag.

White Chocolate Oreo Pops


Ingredients:

Double-Stuff Oreo Cookies
White chocolate
Sprinkles
Candy/Lollipop Sticks

Directions:

Complete these steps for each Oreo Pop that you want to make. Twist open the Oreo cookie. Press a candy stick into the side with the frosting so the stick is about ½ the height of the cookie. Melt some white chocolate and put a dab over the stick and frosting. Replace the other side of the cookie over the top. Let set in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes. Once set, dip the whole cookie in white chocolate and gently shake off excess. Place some sprinkles on a plate and gently press cookie into the sprinkles to decorate every side (I used small hearts and white ball sprinkles for this first part). Again, let the cookie set in the refrigerator for a little bit. Before the chocolate gets too hard stick your larger sprinkles in the cookie (This is where I used the larger hearts). Let cool completely, wrap up and then they are ready to give.
