So, here is my FAVORITE recipe EVER!!!

DEATH BY CHOCOLATE!



Ingredients:
-1 Package of Chocolate Cake Mix
-1 Large package of Jello Instant Chocolate Pudding
-1 Large tub of Cool Whip
-1 LARGE Hershey Symphony Bar (or any chocolate bar with toffee chips in it)

Cooking Instructions:
~Follow directions on baking the chocolate cake. You will want to use a rectangle cake pan (9 X 13)
~While cake is baking, mix up your instant Jello Chocolate Pudding and set in the fridge
~Place the Symphony Bar in a large bag, and with a rolling pin, SMASH IT TO LITTLE PIECES...This does work best if the bar is a BIT frozen! 
~When cake is finished, take half of the cake, and place it on the bottom of a mixing bowl. For me, this is typically half of the cake, and I can maneuver the cake to not make any holes.
~Take half of the pudding and spread it on top of the cake. 
~Take half of the Cool Whip and spread it on top of the pudding layer. 
~Take half of the crushed Symphony bar, and spread it all across the top of the Cool Whip.
~ Repeat for a second layer.


FINISHED!

Time to ENJOY!!!

Jaded Blossom & SVG Cutting Files Monthly Challenges-Valentine's Day!

Hey All!!!

Today, I wanted to share my projects with you for SVG Cutting Files and for Jaded Blossom

They both have a theme of Valentine's Day! 

Jaded Blossom's full theme is to make a Valentine's Day Treat!!! So, that is what I did!!! 

As you know, my kiddo does NOT eat candy, but he DOES eat Lollipops! Since hubby was out of work for so long, I haven't been able to afford to get the Lollipop Die just yet, BUT I WILL!!! I need it for my little man! He is my Lollipop King!! You will occassionally see him with blue lips after having his Blue Lolly! This project is for him! 


Here is my project:

Next, here is my project for the SVG Cutting Files "Anything For Your Valentine" project!!!

So, my Valentine is my hubby, Brandon. 

He just started a new job about 2 weeks ago...its day work...which he NEVER has worked..almost 18 years I have been with him...ALWAYS worked nights...

So, a Saturday morning Starbucks run may seem like nothing to some people, but for me and the hubby, we BOTH treasured it! 

Of coarse, I had to take a picture to capture this moment, and this is my gift for my Valentine! A layout that I am dedicating to him of our FIRST normal Saturday as a couple! 

Here is my entry project


Right where my watermark is is where I plan to put my journaling...
