BITE SIZE - Mini Chocolate Dipped Oreos ((Valentine's Day gifts)) IDEAS - chocolate transfer sheets - DIY

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

I made these for the teachers last year. BITE SIZE chocolate dipped oreos. YUMMMM!!! I love dipped oreos and make these quite often but the minis are so cute.

More detailed step by step instructions on THIS post

size difference :) Not sure the mini's are the best idea. I end up eating way more. Cute but naughty.

If you don't have or want to purchase transfers you can just use sprinkles or drizzle chocolate over them.

This idea originally came when I ordered pre-printed chocolate transfer sheets. They were way too small to fix a regular sized Oreo or even cut to cover it. At first I was bummed but then there was a huge sale on mini cookies for $1 a bag and I of course stocked up thinking I won't eat these....just for gift ideas. Yeah right. So, I'm eating half the bag and realize they might be the right size.

Made large and small

Ahhhh....so cute!

Found the jars at Michael's for .50cent each. Think it fit about 5.

Added a cute little label.

And a bow

Valentine's Day for the KIDS! -Classroom treats, advent calendar, teacher gifts and so much more!

My husband and I don't really celebrate Valentine's day. Why? Mostly because it feels forced and everything is way over priced. If he wants to buy me flowers or make me feel special, he can do that any day. :) With that said, I do go a little overboard with the kids. Why? I really don't know. I guess because it's fun to go overboard and I'm known for going overboard. Just a tad. Starting to see a theme here?

To kick off February I always have an advent calendar counting down until Valentine's Day. Boys LOVE this!

Inside the hearts are these super cute mini envelopes and I would like to think they are excited solely for the notes but I also include a Hersey Hug.

They are made from a HEART!!! Each once says why they are special. Tutorial HERE.

Need Valentine's Day PHOTO IDEAS?

Special HEART SANDWICH for lunch

Monster Valentine's Day box

I made this three years ago and we are still using the same one. I put it away in the closet and pull it out each year. No last minute scrambling. GENIUS!

The boys always love to bring something for the teachers and classmates. Here are some things we've done in the past.

Chocolate Dipped Marshmallows

The boys made these for all their classmates and teachers

Dipped Strawberries (store bought or make yourself) packaged for easy carrying.
The boys gave these for teacher appreciation week but they would be perfect for Valentine's Day.

Cake baked in a jar!!! These are always a hit. We made these for Christmas last year and teacher appreciation the year before. So easy. Could do red velvet cake or strawberry and vanilla. Ooooh. Might have to make these this year too. Tutorial HERE.

Remember THESE rubber band bracelets my son was obsessed making!? He made Vday ones last year for the teachers and girls he wanted to bring a gift to.....yes, GIRLS with a S!!!! Oh dear!

So easy, makes a bunch and super cute! Can't wait to give these out this year.

Valentine's Day IDEAS - Cards, Gifts, Treats, and Photos {{KIDS}}

I feel like this week is such a blur. I tried to be prepared but everything that needed to get done always sneaks up on me. I started on Monday and finished the oreos by Wednesday. It took three days to make 250!!!!! Yes, I'm crazy. Then I realize I hadn't worked on Valentine's Day pics I took Sunday. Way to wait until the last minute, right!? I let the boys pick photos this year because I had so many favorites I couldn't decide. Well, it turns out they couldn't either. We ended up doing TWO cards because both ideas were really cute. Who needs sleep anyway?
