I am loving my weekly Pinterest Challenges so far! You all are helping me to be more crafty and become a better wife, mother and friend, by getting me to do more projects around the house and for my friends and family. My reading corner has been loved by my kids, and they really have picked up more books to read.
And this week’s challenge of the homemade Snickers, well – my kids love me for them, and I took some to a very sick friend! I think you should all join me in these weekly challenges because I feel like I am bettering myself.
Now for this week’s challenge – the homemade Snickers. These were voted for by you, and were inspired by the blog, How Sweet It is, which is where you can snag the directions. Yes they are GOOD!!! They are not difficult to make, but are time consuming because there are several layers, and waiting in between layers. Worth it though – and just as good, if not better, than a real Snickers! I think I did a pretty good job if I do say so myself.
I used my Cuisinart to chop the peanuts, but some ended up a little on the fine side, so you may want to chop by hand if you want big chunks.
Now I need you all to leave a comment on this blog post with a recommendation/nomination for my next project or recipe. It can be anything on Pinterest – just be sure to include a link to the pin. The more nominations, the more we have to vote on. Vote will be held on Friday!
DIY scratcher cards…would be cute Valentine treats for the kids! http://pinterest.com/pin/90846117453152705/ The ling to the instructions is in the comments…I hate when I Pin something and have to go through various links/boards to get tot he source, so when I find something that does not provide a direct link, I get to the source and put it in comments (trying to get into the habit of doing so anyway!)
Sounds great – thanks Vanessa!!
Here is a ‘Tooth Fairy Door’. If I still had little one’s at home, I would be making this! The little nest inside is to put the tooth in so the Tooth Fairy won’t have to fish the tooth from under a pillow and risk waking your child. The link is pinterest.com/pin/148337381446347285

Lyndsay, your links both go to the same page, which is a page with lots of projects. I’m not sure which one you are trying to specify.
