From the Heart



Show the ones you love how much you care with these clever and simple projects from the heart.

Salty and Sweet

Colorful chocolate-covered pretzels are an easy treat for the ones you love. Begin by melting a package of white chocolate bark in the microwave. Dip pretzels of varying sizes and shapes into melted chocolate. Sprinkle immediately with red, pink, and decorative sprinkles. Lay coated pretzel sticks on wax paper until firm, then serve or wrap for gifts.

Romantic Roses

Candles surrounded by roses set a romantic glow. Cut one piece of 9 x 4” wet floral foam in half to make two squares, and soak in water. Cut the stems of red and white spray roses to about 4 inches in length. Insert stems into wet floral foam with white roses in the center and red filling the rest of the foam. Place arrangement on a small plate or saucer, and place a taper candle in the middle.

Bread Stick Bouquet

Whimsical and clever, these bread sticks are made from the heart. Unroll thin crust pizza dough. Starting at one narrow end, cut dough lengthwise into 1-inch strips. Using hands, roll each strip in to a 14-inch-long rope. Twist dough into desired shapes, and bake on an ungreased baking sheet according to package directions. Serve in a vase or glass tumbler for a fun and edible centerpiece.
