I should update some stuff, like etsy and this blog.

Sometimes life gets too busy for blog updates and art projects, but that always simmers down for a few days. This week's projects: Stitch Markers!

If you want to buy some, they are on my Etsy shop.

Birthday Treats

Earlier this fall I made some choclate covered pretzels.

My co-workers ate the things up. On the same day Jeff showed me the snazzy treats Utz had created for this Halloween season. Snack size bags of chocolate covered pretzels sprinkled with Butterfinger crumbs! They were pretty much the equivalent to crack. WOW!

Jeff's birthday is tomorrow, so I attempted to make a version of the Butterfinger dusted pretzels.

Here's how to do it: Ingredients:
-Pretzels
-Milk Chocolate chips or candy melts
-Butterfinger candy bars
(I got mine on the 1/2 of Halloween candy rack)

What to do:
1. Put about 8 fun size Buterfinger bars in a heavy ziploc bag. Smash them up until they are crumbs.
2. Melt the chocolate. There are a few ways to melt chocolate, I use the microwave. To do this, put your chocolate in a microwave safe dish. heat on high for 25 seconds, stir. Repeat until the chocolate is melted. DO NOT OVER HEAT!
3. Dip your pretzels in the chocolate, then the butterfinger crumbs. Set on a piece of parchment or wax paper to cool. Cooling will take an hour or so.
4. Enjoy!

I have an idea for Christmas/Winter themed pretzels, just have to wait a few more weeks.
