Homemade Gift Idea for Father's Day

My daughter found a recipe for chocolate peanut butter and it is divine!  The two of us could not stop dipping our spoon in the jar all day and at the end of the day we were fighting to scrape the sides.  

Some of my children have a gift for writing so I had one of my daughters write a Father's Day poem to go with the chocolate peanut butter.  This is a fun and simple gift that your dad will love.  Who doesn't love chocolate and peanut butter?!!!

RECIPE: 

16 oz lightly salted dry roasted peanuts, (you can also use salted party 

         nuts,  but the peanut butter will be saltier)

1 cup chocolate chips (any kind you like)

Pour nuts into a strainer to get all of the extra salt/crumbs off that settle in the bottom of the container. Put nuts into a high tech blender or food processor and slowly turn to high. Nuts will go through a number of stages before it becomes very thin and runny. Once it has turned liquid, add the chocolate chips (you do not need to melt them first) and blend until combined. Pour chocolate peanut butter into seal-able containers and put in refrigerator. Putting it in the refrigerator will give it the consistency of fudge (yum) and leaving it out will keep it pretty runny. 

To print the gift tag below, left right on the image and then right click. Save the image to your computer. 

               NOTE:  It is important that you left click first to get a high res image! 

I recommend inserting the image into a word document, power point, or program that has a ruler. Scale the tag so that it measures 4" across the bottom and then print the gift tag on card stock paper.  Cut gift tag out leaving a small white border along the outside edge.  Punch a hole and attach to a jar of homemade chocolate peanut butter with a spoon.

Graduation Cake Pop Tags

These graduation cake pop with graduation cake pop tags are perfect!  If you've never made (or more importantly eaten) cake pops before, then you are missing out.  Cake pops are yummy, fun, and creative.  Here's our cake pop recipe:

Cake Pops and Balls

1 box chocolate cake mix (or cake mix of your choice)

1 can cream cheese frosting

 Candy melt the color of your choice

Sucker sticks

Make cake according to package directions.  Let cake cool.  Mash the cake with ¾ can of

frosting.  Roll the dough into balls and refrigerate  for a couple of hours (you can freeze them but never for more than 15 minutes).  Melt the candy melt according to package directions.  Add shortening  and melt with the candy to make a good dipping consistency.  I usually add a couple of tablespoons.  Dip the end of each stick in the candy melt and let sit in freezer for 10 minutes.  Push the stick up halfway through the  cake ball and dip cake ball in melted candy melt.   Set the balls on wax paper so that the bottoms flatten.  Enjoy!!!

Graduation poem

Graduation Poem

Ever since you were born, we've imagined the day

when you'd finally grow up and go find your own way

We cried the first time that you boarded the bus

Mom counted the minutes 'til you came home to us

We cheered at your games, your recitals, your shows--

rolled our eyes at your comments, expressions and clothes

Now 18 years later we wish time would wait

As we sit back in wonder that you turned out so great!

Congratulations, Graduate!
