Here are two fun treats you can make with your kids that will sure to be a hit.

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

These are super easy.
8 oz chocolate chips
1 quart of strawberries (washed and dried)
​If the strawberries are wet the chocolate will not stick.
​Wax paper

Instructions:
Place chocolate chips in a glass bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals. 3 intervals should do it. Mix after each interval.
Dip strawberries into melted chocolate and place on wax paper til chocolate hardens.

If you want to get a little extra, melt a 1/4 cup of white chocolate chips and drizzle over strawberries. Too easy.

What you will need.
Gum paste (you can use already made gum paste in a tub or in powder form. We purchased in powdered form and followed directions on bag to make paste).

Powdered sugar
Small heart cutter
Rolling pin
​Measuring cups
​Edible ink pens

Measure out about 1/2 cup of gum paste.
Sprinkle powdered sugar on your work surface so gum paste does not stick to it.
Knead gum paste for 30 seconds
Add 5-8 drops of flavoring, knead to combine flavor.
Add 1-2 drops of food coloring, knead until color is throughout gum paste.
Using a rolling pin, roll out gum paste to 1/4-1/2 inch thick.
Using small heart cutter, cut out hearts and place on parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
Let dry for 48 hours.
Using edible ink pen write message on hearts.
