Nestle Seasonal Holiday Review & Recipe

ByMySparklingLife June 24, 2015October 3, 2023

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.
When it comes to the holidays, Nestle is on all our shopping lists! From chocolate chips for cookies, to stocking stuffers, Nestle brings something special to the holidays! This year Nestle is making gift giving so much easier with all their new choices. From new Wonka Pixy Stix Powder-Filled candy canes, Wonka Sweet Tart candy canes, a tin filled nerds and so much more!! All of these are under $10. Making them not only the perfect stocking stuffer, but also the perfect price! I received a tin of nerds, a candy cane with four giant pixi sticks, and a box of sweet tart candy canes! I had to hide them for a few days till i had the time to get to bake with them. Using yummy treats in my baked goods is common for me, but i have never tried anything like these! First of we made some cupcakes, and used the Nerds as sprinkles! Who knew! So delicious, these cupcakes were a big hit! Made our ordinary cupcakes bright…a great addition to our holiday treats! Next we made Sugar Cookies, and crushed up candy cane bits. OMG!!! I thought the candy cane would be hard inside the cookies…but they weren’t! The cookies were super soft and so were the candy cane bits. My favorite recipe to date using candy!
Ingredients
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 package (3oz) cream cheese (softened)
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. almond extract
2 3/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
3 Nestle’s Willy Wonka Sweet Tart candy canes (crushed)
Instructions
Preheat oven o 375.
Mix Cream butter, cream cheese and sugars in large bowl until fluffy.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt.
Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture. Stir until soft dough forms
Add in crushed Sweet Tart Candy Cane
Roll out and cut with cookie cutter. Thin dough will make crunchy cookies. If you want soft dough, it needs to be about 3/8 in. {NOTE: Try not to handle the dough too much}
Bake 8-10 minutes on greased pan.
I hope you enjoyed my recipes! I would love to hear about a recipe you made using Nestle goodies!
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Magikbee Magik Play | iPad STEM Learning Games

ByMySparklingLife September 14, 2017September 17, 2023

Magik Play combines the simplicity and fun of traditional toys with STEM learning challenges designed for the iPad. Simple toys and play are important in the way kids learn. Blocks, are one of the best toys for kids to learn through play and they have been around for centuries. It is an excellent platform for families to engage.
Exploratory work has suggested that this sort of ‘tangible interfaces‘ might be particularly suitable for engaging children in playful learning and that the link between physical action and digital effects might lead to increased engagement and reflection.
Each block has a magik spell that irradiates a powerful energy detected by the tablet circuits…No, not really… we use the iPad sensors… but the code wizard did her magik to create an game for your tablet to detect that energy when you bring together the blocks and the tablet. Just follow the instructions and let the “magik” happen!
