Hugs and Pretzels


You will need:
- 1 bag of hugs
- 1 (10 oz) bag of pretzel snaps
- cookie sheet
- wax paper (trust me, it will make your life way easier!)

 
If you don't have wax paper, use parchment.. use something. It will make it so much easier to clean up :)

About half way through this step, preheat your oven to 300 degrees. I say half way, because your oven will probably preheat before you finish laying all of these out :P 

The tutorial I followed says two minutes, I put mine in for 1:45 minutes, and I think that might have been too long. But they were okay :P The tutorial said to let them sit for a minute so they could soften some more, mine were already soft, so I just moved to the next step.

Do this gently, just so they stick together :)

You don't have to do this, but it cools them down a lot faster, and honestly, I think they taste better when they aren't all melty.. is that a word? Probably not, but I'm using it anyway ;)

Now all that's left is to pop these off the sheet of wax paper and enjoy!

Apple & Snickers "Salad"


You will need:
- 5-6 apples
- Bag of snickers, frozen (mini or fun size)
- 8 oz. container of cool whip 
(Mine is 16 oz. because I made 2 batches)

This is also when The Husband figured out a small baggie isn't big enough...
So learn from his mistakes and use the gallon size :P 

Add 8 oz. of cool whip, and mix everything together :) 
I know it looks a little weird, but it really is delicious!
