What you Need-

Candy canes

White Chocolate

Semi-sweet Chocolate

Sprinkles

1.  Place waxed paper on a baking sheet.

2.  Lay two candy canes next to each other, creating a heart.  Fill the baking sheet with heart shapes.

3.  Melt the white and semi-sweet chocolates in the microwave.

4.  When the chocolates are melted, spoon or pour into a ziplock bag. Cut off a tiny tip from the bag, and begin filling in the heart shapes!

5.  Before the candy sets, top with sprinkles of your choice.

Recipe: Easy Apple Crisp

 In my effort to be healthier this year-- I went on an "apple binge." Well, I realized I bought too many when I counted 24 Gala apples in the fridge! That's way to many for me and my hubby-so I decided to cook a few with this fun simple recipe!

5 lbs (8-10) apples, of a variety that will hold its shape during cooking,

3/4 cup sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

2 Tbs lemon juice

6 Tbs unsalted butter, melted 

1/2 cup of rolled oats

Slicing and Tossing. Peel, core, and cut the apples by hand! Cut the apple lengthwise into thirds. Put the apples into a bowl- then mix in the sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice and melted butter!

Baking – 45 minutes at 375-degrees. Pour the apples into the baking dish and sprinkle oats over the apples. You will know the apples are ready when they are fork-tender.

Served hot or even cold!! These apple slices are wonderful with heavy cream or ice cream.
