Fortunate to Have a Valentine Like You!

My daugh­ter and I spent Sun­day prep­ping Valen­tine’s good­ies for her preschool friends and teach­ers to help spread the love. Last year, we made sug­ar cook­ies on sticks and piped her friends’ names on each one, but this year we want­ed to do some­thing a lit­tle dif­fer­ent with which she could help as well! We decid­ed to defer to our trusty and reli­able friend: choco­late! To con­tin­ue on the for­tu­nate theme, we pur­chased for­tune cook­ies, red and white choco­late and sprin­kles galore! While I intend to learn to make for­tune cook­ies from scratch at some point in my life, I sim­ple did not have the time this week­end! This project was fun and easy for my daugh­ter to make, though I have to say I love her imag­i­na­tion and fon­dant shapes when she’s help­ing me make cup­cakes! We dipped the for­tune cook­ies in choco­late, sprin­kled them with can­dies and non-pareils and packed them in mini Chi­nese take-out box­es with a note read­ing I am for­tu­nate to have a friend like you! And we made extra for the teach­ers to ensure we expressed our grat­i­tude for them as well!

Such an easy way to cus­tomize an edi­ble gift for your Valen­tine and espe­cial­ly to include the kid­dos on the action! And, I just have to say, I am for­tu­nate to have sup­port­ers and friends like you! Wish­ing you all a Hap­py Valentine’s Day!!!
