Recipes

I'm actually going to share two recipes with you, because I could pick which one I liked better - they both look amazing!! This first one is how to make dipped pretzels using melted candy malts, which you can buy at Joann's or Michaels. These look amazing and so easy to make! They'd be perfect for a 4th of July party.

Here's a little fun fact for ya! ;) Interesting...

Quote

If you saw my last Pinterest Haul, you know that I love quotes. So I just had to throw one in here... I just had to. :) Anyways, this quote is so so true in so many ways. We as Americans are free because of those of the past and their bravery. God Bless America!

And that's a wrap to this month's Pinterest Haul! Check back next month for more!

Chocolate-Covered Fruit Kabobs

Craving a chilled sweet treat this summer? Try out these super delicious Chocolate-Covered Fruit Kabobs! These taste so amazing and take literally no time at all. Here's how it's done:

(Makes 2)

Ingredients & Supplies:

1 Banana
Several Strawberries
1 Clementine Orange
2 Skewers
1 Dark Chocolate Bar

How to Make Them:

Wash your strawberries and cut off the stems. My strawberries look a little tiny and misshapen because we grew them in our garden. :)

2. Next, wash your clementine, peel away the skin, and pull out the little orange wedges.

3. Now, peel your banana and slice it up.

4. Stick the skewer through the cut-up fruit. I like to put the fruit on in a pattern, but that's just me being a perfectionist. :)

5. When you finish, break the chocolate bar into fourths and melt it in the microwave. Be very careful, because it's very easy to burn chocolate in a microwave. (And I know from personal experience that burned chocolate does NOT taste very good.) After the chocolate is melted, use a spoon to drizzle it over the fruit kabobs.
