LAST DAY OF SCHOOL

I MADE THESE TREATS FOR MATTIAS' 3RD GRADE CLASS AND RONANS PRE-K CLASS

It's a mini peanut butter cup for the cap

hand dipped chocolate graham cracker glued on with chocolate

&

fruit by the foot rolled and cut for the tassle...

Big thanks to my friend Janelle for helping me with the guey fruit by the foot.

We made 50 for each class and some extra for our own families.

They were a big hit with all the parents and kids.

Of all the desserts that everyone brought (cookies & cupcakes) these stood out and were gone almost as soon as they were put out after the students got theirs first.

I had no leftovers.....hahahahahaha

June 18th cont'd

When we got home from the movies our neighbor asked if we wanted to go to a Carnival...I said what the heck, so off we went again.
