Let's Make Spring Flower Candy!

Spring has arrived!  At least according to the calendar.  Because I'm a little too excited to see Spring get here, I decided to make a treat for a few special people.


A few years ago I made a platter full of candy flowers for Easter.  They looked so springy that they immediately came to mind when I thought of doing a Happy Spring project.  

Here's What You Need
Bag of square pretzels
Ghirardelli white melting wafers
Pastel-colored M&Ms


Here's What You Do
Preheat the oven to 225.  Line a couple baking sheets with parchment paper.  


I like to divide the color candies up into small bowls.  This would be a great job for the kiddos.  Or you can totally skip this step if you're not worried about making each flower from the same colors.


Lay 10 pretzels on the parchment-lined baking sheets and top with 2 wafers.  I like working in patches of 10 because if you do more, the wafers begin to harden before you have time to add the M&Ms.  While you're working with one batch, the second one can be in the oven.


Pop in the oven for 5 minutes.  The wafer should be melted, but not runny.  When it comes out, place a candy in the center then put 6 candies around it.  Try to put the stamped "M" side facing down so they don't show.


And just like that, you have a Spring flower candy!  Let them cool completely before you package them.


Now for the packaging - I used a berry box with a little crinkle paper.  The box fit perfectly down into a cellophane bag. 





Add a cute tag and your gift is ready for giving!  My tag was cut by using my Silhouette.  


Happy Spring everyone!

  7. The combination of tangy grapefruit, crisp cucumber, and peppery arugula in this salad is a delightful mix of flavors and textures. I appreciate how you provide clear instructions on preparing and assembling the salad, making it easy for anyone to recreate this delicious dish at home.
