2 Days Before Christmas

We are so close...aren't we???

 

We are 2 days away and I feel as if I have so much to do but it will all get done, right?

 

Today I'm sharing about one of our Christmas traditions and a fun easy little treat!

 

We made our gingebread house last Wednesday. It took us about 15 minutes so it was quick :).

We didn't have enough little candies for the roof....

 

...and our "C" looks weak but I love it!!

 

Making a gingerbread house is something we will continue on in the years to come!

 

 

 

Now for pretzel treats :).

 

Supplies:

1 bag of snaps or mini pretzels

2 bag of kisses (any flavor you wish)

1 bag of peanut M&M's

 

 

Preheat your oven to 250 degrees.

 

Lay out mini pretzels or "snaps" on a cookie sheet.

Unwrapping the kisses are the most tedious part. (I use 2 bags.) Usually it's something Noah & I tackle together but Saturday I was on my own.

 

Once the kisses are unwrapped place a kiss in the middle of each pretzel.

 

Then place the cookie sheet in the oven (once it's preheated) for 5 minutes.

I accidentally baked mine at 350 degrees so the kisses were a little melted but they still worked.

 

It is important to place a M&M on each kiss immediately after they come out of the oven so the kiss doesn't harden. I let them cool for about 2-3 hours and then you can bag them or place them on a festive plate!

 

For this particular batch I was making them for bible study as a Christmas gift. I bought festive bags & ribbon and found a printable on Pinterest.

 

 

 

You can find the printable here.

 

I think these treats are so easy to make and everyone loves them. You can use different flavored kisses or rolos and I used peanut M&M's but you could use any kind you want!

 

This gift was simple and cute at the same time!

 

Merry Christmas Eve Eve :).
