5 Minute Chocolate Cake

A friend posted this recipe on Facebook last night.  I look forward to trying it!  However, it could be dangerous that all of us could have cake in a matter of five minutes.  Maybe just as a special treat from time to time, not a nightly thing! :)  Thanks, Jamey!

This would make a perfect gift for someone!

5 Minute Chocolate Cake: 

2 Tbs of sugar

2 Tablespoons flour

2 Tablespoons cocoa

1 egg

2 Tablespoons Milk

2 Tablespoons oil

A pinch of salt 

Vanilla (a few drops) 

Mix together and microwave in a microwave-safe mug for 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top. Enjoy.

Homemade Gift Week #2 - Chocolate Pretzels

Simple and yummy describes this homemade gift made by another sister-in-law. (Yes, I have LOTS of sisters-in-law! :)  I'm not sure what size these pretzels are, but they were bigger than the regular sticks and smaller than the big rods.  But they were perfect for this little pint canning jar. 

I like this gift because it can be adapted to any occasion. For Valentine's Day, you could sprinkle the white and chocolate coating with Valentine sprinkles and make a cute topper for the jar.  Have you seen where you use a cupcake liner on the top?  The liner goes over the flat top part of the jar lid, then the round ring part screws on over the liner.  A cute, easy and inexpensive give for a teacher or special Valentine!  The possibilities are endless.  And yes, the chocolate pretzels taste great, too!

Caramel Corn Mix

Do you like caramel?  Have you tried the new candy corn that is caramel flavored?  I don't like the regular candy corn, myself, but the new caramel flavored corn is YUMMY!  Not that I needed something else to like and eat.......

Isn't the mixture pretty and "fall" looking?

This weekend at the ladies' retreat, a friend brought a mixture of the caramel candy corn and peanuts.  It was delicious and enjoyed by everyone.  You could always add chocolate to the mix, too.  The fall colored M & M's would be just perfect!
