What is wrong with this picture, look closely!?
It may be difficult to see, so I'll help you out - neither of the wine bottles are empty. And why does that matter? It matters because somewhere in the past 5 years, Pinterest has managed to convince me that in my former life I was Martha Stewart (Sans the legal problems) and can bust out a late-night Easter treat with no problems. HA! The way I see it, I needed the contents of those bottles to get through this project and that didn't happen either.
Pinterest and I have a love/hate relationship and quite honestly I shouldn't attempt to complete any pins that involve more than involuntary breathing on my part! Seriously, what kind of Betty Crocker is able to make such beautiful creations? But I'm stubborn enough that I continue to try and tonight was no different. I set out to make "just a few" Nutter Butter Easter chicks for the kids, some of their friends and neighbors. I should have known it wasn't going to go well when the sticks wouldn't stay in the cookies and I burnt my fingers several times fishing them out of the melted chocolate. Upon completing my first chick (and giving up on the sticks all together), it became blatantly obvious that I needed the regular sized Reeces Pieces (not the minis), as my chicks looks like little mutants with their tiny feet and wings!
Why stop "at just a few" though - I had a whole 'lotta melted chocolate and I was determined to make at least one chick that looked halfway descent. I can't say as I really succeed in making a normal looking one and now I'm left to ponder what to do with 23 chocolate dipped cookies! I'll ask Kailer in the morning if he wants to take them to school for his classroom friends .... and I'll keep my fingers crossed that there isn't the Betty Crocker Mom of Saddle Peak in his room tomorrow to see them... OR worse yet (*Gasp*) another mom who made the same treats that turned out!
I think it might be best to stick to my day job!
