Kissmas Wontons

Christmas is so close I can almost taste it!  Make sure you give your family members a hug and kiss, even a chocolate Kiss!  Here's another special and delicious holiday creation from The Sweetest Temptations.  Introducing Kissmas Wontons!  These treats are so festive, so easy, and so scrumptious!  Now let's get started!

Ingredients:

Pillsbury Pie Crusts

Hershey Kisses

Sprinkles

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Unwrap Hershey Kisses

Unroll pie crust on a cookie sheet

Use a wine glass to cut out perfect circle shapes, as many as you can fit, and place Hershey Kiss in the center of the circle

Peel off the excess dough

Roll the excess dough out with a rolling pin in order to make more dough circles until you've ran out

Shake some sprinkles over the cookies to make them extra Christmas-y

Then, pinch the two opposite sides of the circle to meet at the top of the Hershey Kiss

Then do the same thing with the other two ends to create a wonton shape and make sure each corner is tightly pinched

Once all of the wontons are wrapped, sprinkle some powdered sugar on top

Bake wontons in oven for about 15-20 minutes

Let cool and enjoy!

Kissmas Wontons are a great new alternative to the way overdone Peanut Butter Hershey Kiss cookies that we all have eaten, many, many times.  Although they are good, this is something fun and new, and absolutely delectable!  They're so easy to make and are such a treat!

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

DIY Candy Christmas Ornaments

The holidays are here!  Christmas trees and decorations are continuing to pop up all over the neighborhood and are making the world oh so merry and bright.  It's always fun to decorate the tree with some of your favorite ornaments that have been collected throughout the years, but if you're wanting a fun craft to do with your girlfriends or kids, you've come to the right spot!  

Today, we're making Christmas Candy Ornaments!  They're yummy, festive, and delicious!  You can use any small candy you'd like but I'll show you how to make Nerds, Sprinkles, and Marshmallow Snowmen ornaments to be exact!

What you'll need:

Nerds

Sprinkles

Mini Marshmallows

Clear glass ornaments (Available at Walmart)

Construction paper

Pipe cleaners

Then, just fill the ornaments with candy!  It may be easier to use a small funnel to put the Nerds and Sprinkles into the ornament, because it gets pretty messy!  Then, use a pipe cleaner for a hook in order to hang it on the tree.  Look how pretty they are!  

Nerds ornament

Sprinkles ornament

As for the mini marshmallows, I cut them in half so they were easier to fit inside the ornament.  They do get pretty sticky if you don't cut them as well, so keep that in mind!  Once you're done stuffing the marshmallows, use the black construction paper to cut out two small circles for eyes, and about six even smaller black circles for the mouth.  Then, use the orange construction paper to cut out a small triangle for the nose.  Don't forget the pipe cleaner to hang it! Then use tape to stick the face onto the ornament and you'll have the cutest snowman ornament ever!

The Sweetest Temptations loves candy and Christmas so much so doing this fun candy craft will truly get you into the sweet holiday spirit.  Deck the halls with candy Christmas ornaments!
