Short on time and need a treat???

Today the sun FINALLY made a long overdue appearance!  We were having some friends over so as soon as the boys were asleep I went out to mow the lawn, and by the time I got back in I only had an hour until our friends were here and no snack ready.  I wanted something summery seeing as it was the first day of summer (and our first day of sun in over a week), so I "pinterested" (the new googled) summer treat and I found a brilliant, quick, cute idea!

Here is my version!

CRAZY easy, and quick to make...

1.  Cut your ice cream sandwiches in half

2. Roll in sprinkles

3. place in the freezer until you are ready to eat!

Valentines Day Cupcakes!

I have no pictures of the making of these cupcakes...they were made while the fellas were still up.  The boys LOVE the kitchenaid as much as I do...seriously! But they are not big fans of me stopping to take pictures!

Anyways here is the final product, and yes I used the sprinkle medley AGAIN!!!  I can't get enough of it!  I did add another type of sprinkle into the mix though so it is not the EXACT same!!!

All the cupcakes, yummy!  This batch is heading over to the school that I taught at before the boys were born!

 And for all you cupcake lovers out there if you don't have this cupcake carrier you NEED to find one!!! It holds 36 cupcakes and it is the same size as the wilton one that only holds 12!!!  I found mine at Costco awhile back but I know that you can get them on amazon!

Mars Bar Squares

I know that a lot of people already make these, but this is for those of you who don't!  Mars Bar Squares are crazy easy to make and beyond yummy!!!  Because you end with a chocolate layer on top they are also very easy to dress-up for any holiday using sprinkles, or even some chocolate drizzle!

Here is the line-up

Start by cutting up your mars bars.  I usually cut each one lengthwise once and then about 6 times the other way...and if you sneak a piece (or two) to eat the recipe will still turn out!

Melt 1/2 cup of margarine and all the mars bar pieces that you have left! hahaha

The mixture will appear to separate...

and then it will come together again, this is when you add...

the rice krispies!

mix until all of the rice krispies are coated and then press into a greased 9x9 pan.

As soon as you have the rice krispie mixture in the pan you can get started on the chocolate topping.  Mix the chocolate chips and reamaining margarine together on low heat

Stir until you have a smooth chocolate mixture

Spread it on your rice krispie mixture...

and then shake your pan from side to side to smooth it out.

and sprinkle!  ahhhh, I totally heart sprinkles!  These little hearts may be my current favorite!

Let the squares cool until the chocolate on the top has set.  Cut into 36 squares...or however many you want!

be-ooo-ti-ful!

 All packaged up and ready to gift...if I don't get them wrapped up right away they seem to disappear...fast!
