Snow days, Sick days and Silliness

Students love to get together when school is canceled (because of bad weather or too many sick people)!  You'd think they should stay off the roads and not get together if the danger of spreading germs is high. . .but no they decide to get together and windsurf on the lake, make or watch movies, play video games for hours and eat lots of snacks!

So because Unity Christian was canceled due to illness some youth got together for brunch, a tour of our soon to be house and a movie.   Below is the recipe for the cupcakes I made.  It was on the box of chocolate cake mix from Pillsbury. . .it's called "Hidden Treasures Cupcakes" I might have to make these for our Pirates day!

Make cupcakes according to package (I made chocolate).
Place a funsize candy bar on top of each cupcake (I used Reeses pb cups).
Bake then cool.
Mix one 16 oz container of frosting (I used chocolate) and one 8oz container of cool whip together (folding so you don't over mix).  Spread on cupcakes. . .there will be extra*. 
You can top each cupcake with chopped candy bars (I didn't).

Cover loosely and refrigerate until you serve them!

* Use the extra as an amazing dip for fruit or topper for pancakes.  It is light and sweet with just enough of a chocolate taste but it is not overwhelming, heavy or too rich. 
*You could also double the batch of cup cakes and not double the batch of icing.
Joanna approves of the icing!

Lydia provides the entertainment for Joanna. . .peek a boo!

I like to carry, then serve cupcakes in a cheesecake pan.  You unsnap the sides and lift it up and off so you don't get icing on your fingers.
