Valentine's Day Treats

Somewhere in between two birthdays this month my oldest son and my daughter decided we should make treats to give to their teachers for Valentine's Day!  Not an easy task when my daughter has a total of 5 teachers between her 3 during the day and two in the afternoons! To simplify things we made a group gift for them!

I saw this yummy recipe on Love From the Oven and the kids agreed that is what they wanted to make! 


Cookies in a whoopie pie pan may be my new favorite cookie.  They bake up perfectly round (which is important to me) and are nice and thick!  The recipe is adapted from Picky Palate and so delicious.  Go run out now and buy a whoopie pie pan-you won't be sorry!

Eighteen 25 featured this adorable (and free) printable jar label and it was perfect for our cookies! 

















Love printable available here.

















































The glass jars I got from Target.  They had 3 different sizes and we used the smallest size.  I also happen to find the same jars at Hobby Lobby the next week for 50% off!  Mental note to look there FIRST next time!  I think these were only $4.99 each at Target. 

I also spent the weekend baking up mounds of cake pops for a friend!  She always asks me to make them for her for pretty much every holiday or one of her kids birthdays and since I love making them (and I'm nice) I can never say no!

I was excited to use my Little Cupcake Pop mold in the heart shape though!  If you make cake pops as often as I do these molds are a MUST have!  Again my OCD kicks in and the sphere makes the most perfect circles and the cake pops seem to hold their shape better!

We added these fun little tags and her daughters had the perfect Valentine's for their classmates! 





Hope you all enjoyed your Valentine's Day!
