Naughty

That is what my friend Jess would say about me posting this next little diddy.  You may think so too because you may just find yourself having to give them a try.  This is a little recipe that I invented.  Okay, maybe I wasn't the original inventor, but I haven't seen or heard of anyone doing this.  So if it hasn't been done yet, can I get the credit?  I would love to have these known as another of Sweet Things, Sweet Thing's.  These are A M A Z I N G ! ! !

Anyway, on with the recipe.  (Please note that I am not a professional photographer, so the photos may not be pristine.)

First you take one of these little guys.  Actually, use the big ones they taste better when they are done.

Swedish Fish.

 Then let him take a swim in this.

 Almond Bark.  Chocolate Flavor.

After the swim.  Let the tasty little morsel lay on waxed paper to dry.

Almond bark dries fast so you can begin to enjoy quickly.

I have made quite a few bags of these and not shared them with too many people.  I know that's not nice.  But if you make them you will understand.  Especially if you enjoy yourself a little chocolate, and Swedish Fish.

Recipe:

1 Bag of Large Swedish Fish - I didn't get the huge bag.  Just a small one.

3 Squares of Almond Bark (Melted according to directions)  

Wax paper and a cookie sheet for the setting.

Fun Thing to Do!

It wasn't a super hot day here at our house, so we went outside for some fun. I was browsing blogs the other day (no I don't remember where I saw this, so I won't take credit for it's brilliance) and found a way fun recipe.
It was for sidewalk chalk paint. We had to make two batches because we had so much fun with the first one. I would show you pictures, but would you believe my camera broke. Yup. I am not destined to take photos.

Here is the recipe

1/4 c. of Corn Starch
1/4 c. of Water

Mix together. Add just a couple drops of food coloring, so you don't stain your sidewalk. Get some paint brushes and have fun. I wouldn't recommend the foam brushes because the sidewalk will tear them apart.

The kids painted the sidewalk, the pot out front, the fence, my toenails (which look fabulous) and each other. It comes right off. We will be doing this again. I loved it.
