I bought these Sweet-tart candy hearts at the grocery store today. (sorry the picture is a bit weird, I forgot to take a shot before we opened the bag).
Talker poured the hearts into a candle hurricane, and then we put the candles back in. These hurricanes were a gift from my mother-in-law and we typically keep them on the dining room table. The whole project took about 30 seconds - 2 minutes if you count the time it took for me to clean the residual sugar from the bags off the table - the kids were excited. Here's the end result:
This is a technique I use all the time - red and green M&M's for Christmas, foil wrapped chocolate eggs for Easter, etc. It's fun and we get to eat the candy when the holiday is over. I need to find some kind of cute nibble for St. Patrick's Day! Anyone have any suggestions?
