Making Our Own Winter Warm-Ups - Cooking Class
Monday, November 29, 2010 at 6:54PM 
Miss B loves when her American Girl magazine arrives in the mail. In the last issue there was the cutest article about fun winter drinks, "Winter Warm-Ups". Yesterday she made one for us. She took the initiative and did it from start to finish. Following directions is such a valuable life skill!
Here's how to make a CREAMY CARAMEL. It was yummy!
Gather your ingredients. You will need hot chocolate mix (or milk and chocolate syrup), caramel syrup, whipped cream, and candy corn.
Make a cup of hot chocolate in the microwave (I just watched while Miss B did all of this.... I love it that she is getting to be so independent.).
Pour 1/2 tablespoon of caramel syrup into the hot chocolate.
Dollop on some whipped cream, drizzle on more caramel sauce, and place a few candy corns on top.
Enjoy!

My oldest daughter was telling me yesterday that she saw someone put candy corn in their hot chocolate. Now I know where she got the idea from! Stopping by from the Hip Homeschool Hop!
LOL, my teeth want to curl at the sight of that much sugar in a mug :)
and my girls would devour them! (without a doubt)
We havn't received the American Girls mag, looks like one worth looking into!
Here from the hop, happy to have found you - have a great week.
Tried to 'follow' you as Eat, Pray, Homeschool ... but Google is only letting me follow you as By Word of Mouth ... so thats us, right there :)
I drank one, and it was very sweet!! But, if I sipped it slowly it was really good.... and my daughter loved it. My little guy doesn't like hot things, so she made him chocolate milk with the other stuff on top - I thought it was gross, but he loved it!
It cracks me up that you had all the ingredients on hand! Thanks for posting. I think Paige would love that magazine, so I'll look into it for Christmas.
whip cream - from pumpkin pie
candy corn - leftover from oreo turkeys
hot chocolate - always on hand
caramel sauce - for dipping apples
Why wouldn't I have all those things on hand?!?!
Sounds yummy! Way to go, Anna!
Thanks for linking up with Hip Homeschool Hop today. I've enjoyed looking around your blog today. Can't wait to get to know you better!

anything with caramel or Candy corn is OK in my book!
she did a great job! She is working on lots of skills with cooking!
My youngest (14) have been cooking and taking cooking classes for a while now. we have done a few Independent studies on culinary arts.

Sounds yum! Is the AG magazine worth getting? My girls would probably love it as they love playing with their dolls.
Yum! My kids are always happy when school includes food!
