A Leap Month of Little Joys and Satisfactions: Gifted with a Lot of Chocolate and Love

For Valentine's Day, I was gifted with a lot of chocolate and many Valentine's wishes! What I appreciate about these gifts and cards/ecards is the love behind them. Knowing that someone loves me is the greatest earthly gift I could receive.

I hope everyone here was blessed by love in any sort of way on Valentine's Day.

A Leap Month of Little Joys and Satisfactions: Bringing Treats to Coffee Hour


This morning, I have coffee hour duty at our church. I think I mentioned that I would be using the mixed nuts and dipping chocolate that I found on post-holiday clearance to make some treats. I made these Saturday afternoon.

I found these mini muffin liners in the cupboard while cleaning and thought they'd do well for the candies. One 10-oz can of mixed nuts and about 10 to 12 oz of dipping chocolate made 28 good-sized nut clusters. For the rest of my treats, I'll be bringing cheese cubes. Easy to do and something that isn't sweet.

I had an, um, audience while I was making the nut clusters, family members waiting for scraps. I must admit, the nut clusters were both incredibly easy to make and tasty to sample.
