Homemade Valentine Sweets for your Sweeties

My daughter is allergic to peanuts, so most store bought chocolates are not ok for her to eat.  At Christmas I made her some homemade milky ways and she said, “I don’t know why you don’t make these all the time for me!”  I wish I had the time!  But, I decided to try making her some krackel bars for Valentine’s Day.  I got some Hershey’s chocolate bars and melted them in the top of a double boiler.  Once they were melted, I just mixed in some Rice Krispies cereal.  I poured it into a pan that I had lined with wax paper.  Once they were set, I cut them and wrapped them in aluminum foil.

Then, I went to my sister’s house.  She has LOTS of stamps that we used to make wrappers for our chocolates with.  We just cut strips of paper a little narrower than the chocolates, decorated them and wrapped them around the chocolates.  We used tape to secure them on the backside.

Then, we took white lunch sacks and decorated them to put the chocolates in.  We also stamped these, then punched holes at the top and tied them with ribbons.

It was really lots of fun making them!  I hope the kids enjoy them as much as we enjoyed making them.
