Valentine's Sweet Treats

Over the weekend, I made a Valentines Sweet Treat. This is a simple treat that everyone seems to love. Its salty and sweet AKA the perfect combination. 

These don't last too long, I always suggest making extras!!

Valentine's Sweet Treats

makes approximately 150

Ingredients:

Waffle Pretzels

Hershey Hugs

Valentine M&M's

1. Line the cookie sheet with tin foil. 

(This makes clear up so much easier!! I learned from experience)

2. Lay a single layer of waffle pretzels on the cookie sheet; using only whole waffle pretzels.

3.Unwrap the Hershey Hugs- this is the most tedious part.

  

4. Place one Hershey hug on each pretzel.

5.  Heat the open to 200°

6. Once the oven is heated, I put one cookie sheet in at a time

   (This way I can keep my eye it better)

7. Put the M&M's in a bowl next to the oven, you will need them after the next step.

8. They will cook for 4-6 minutes. (the time truly depends on your oven) I watch them like a hawk. When they look shiny and starting to melt, that is when you take them out.

9. Once out of the oven, you will need to place one M&M on each pretzel hug melted piece. 

Push the M&M down to mush the hug down. 

10. Let them cool on the stove until the cookie sheet is manageable.

11. Stick the cooled down cookie sheet in the fridge for 30 minutes.

12. Once the chocolate has hardened, take out of fridge and put into air tight container.

13. Enjoy!

Super simple but oh so yummy. I tend to make two cookie sheets of these at a time, because I have no self control.

Cinnamon Vanilla French Toast

This quote from Julia Child is great especially for a new cook like me! Since learning how to cook,  one of my favorite things to cook is breakfast.  I love that French Toast sounds so hard and looks so delicate but its so easy to make. Eric always asks me to make him French Toast because it’s just THAT good! I wanted to  share my secret with you so you can fall in love with it too! Enjoy Mama's French 

Mama’s French Toast

Serving: 2

Ingredients:

4 pieces of bread (I use Pepperidge Farm Thin slices)

4 Eggs

1 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract

2- 4 Shakes of Cinnamon Sugar

½ teaspoon of Butter

Large frying Pan

Spatula

Knife

Fork

Mixing bowl

Whisk

I made one serving for myself.

1. Gather all the ingredients and crack the 4 eggs into the bowl. Whisk the eggs until they are scrambled. Add 1 teaspoon of Vanilla Extract and a couple of shakes of Cinnamon Sugar. Whisk the ingredients a little more and then put it off to the side. 
   
   
2. Take a pat of butter and put it into the bottom of the frying pan and light the stove. Coat the bottom and a little up the sides of the pan, ensuring nothing will stick.
   
   
3. Take one piece of bread and dip one side of the bread into the egg mixture and then flip it over to coat the other side. Place the piece of bread with the egg mixture on it into the frying pan. Repeat with the other piece of bread. Since only 2 pieces of bread can fit into the pan at a time. You will need to repeat this step twice.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
4. Let the French toast cook on one side for a few minutes, checking to make sure its not burning with the spatula. Flip the bread over when its cooked to your desired color.
   
   
   
   
   
5. Once the French Toast is cooked, take it out of the griddle and place it on the plate. 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
6. If there is egg mixture left over, pour that into the frying pan to make scrambled eggs in addition to the French toast.
   
   
   

Place the food on the plate and Bon Appetite!
