Hero Tribute 2016

 

This year to honor Clint we wanted to pay tribute to the heroes we personally know that serve in the military. We have a few friends who attend church with us that we dropped treats off to. 

Raspberry Brownie Bites:

Bake your favorite brownies in a small muffin/tart pan (sprayed generously with Bakers Joy) for 10-13 minutes. Let them cool then gently twist them out. In a large bowl  mix:  8 oz of softened cream cheese, and a jar of marshmallow cream. Once that is mixed, fold in an 8 oz. container of cool whip.  Place the mixture in a piping bag with Wilton Tip 1M and pipe a little on each brownie. Then top with a raspberry or blueberry.

Lucy and Wyatt wanted to share these treats with their classes and tell them about their Uncle who is a hero.

Rice Crispy Treat recipe:

 Soften 4 Tbsp. salted butter in a big bowl in the microwave.

Add 6 cups marshmallows and microwave for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Stir until melted and add 1 tsp. vanilla.

Stir in 6 cups rice crispy's then add 2 cups mini marshmallows. Once mixed in pour onto a greased pan. 

*I usually double this recipe and put it in a greased jelly roll pan.

We used a star cookie cutter to cut these out and added a blue and red chocolate drizzle.

We added this to Lucy's container because she was afraid she would forget what to tell her teacher about Clint. So cute!
