Ultimately no real baking is required,
just some quick assembly and cooling time,
and you'll be the coolest Mom in town!
You will need:
Vanilla wafer cookies
Round pretzels
1 bag of Hershey's chocolate Kisses
Valentine candy hearts
Valentine M&M candies
Instructions:
COOKIES
Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Place vanilla
wafer cookies 1-inch apart on an ungreased
cookie sheet. Set a Hershey's chocolate
Kiss on the center of each cookie. Bake at
200 degrees for 5 minutes. Remove from
oven and gently press an M&M candy or
a candy heart into the center of the
softened Hershey's Kiss. Allow to cool
completely to let the chocolate harden
again. You can cool in the refrigerator,
but the chocolate will soften again after
coming out of the refrigerator. Just allow
them to sit long enough to harden up
again.
PRETZELS
Place pretzels 1-inch apart on an
ungreased cookie sheet. Place a Hershey's
chocolate Kiss in the center of each
pretzel and bake for 5 minutes. Remove
from the oven and gently press an M&M
candy or candy heart into the center of
the softened chocolate. When pressing down
you may need to wiggle the chocolate
around a little to fill in any gaps
between the chocolate and the pretzel.
This will help the chocolate stick to the
pretzel. Allow to cool completely same as
above (cookies).

Let's Get Cooking!
While there are many reasons for teaching kids to cook -- less expensive than eating out, preserves family heritage, etc, the most important
reason is that by teaching your child to cook, you're giving him a better chance to be a healthy grown-up. Enabling your child with the ability
to appreciate freshness and to transform ingredients into tasty foods opens their eyes to making wiser choices about what to eat...
