It’s the simple things in life that make us happy, like rice krispies treats. They’re gooey, sugary, and make for delicious wedding favors. Plus they snap, crackle and pop!

To make these yummy treats, you’ll need the following:

3 Cups Rice Krispies

1/3 Cup Brown Rice Syrup or Maple Syrup or Golden Syrup {We used golden syrup}

1/3 Cup Smooth Peanut Butter

1 tsp. Vanilla Extract

1/2 Cup Quality Chocolate

1 Tbsp. Unsalted Butter to coat the dish

Directions

Heat the golden syrup and peanut butter over medium heat for approximately 2 to 3 minutes or until it looks like a thick syrup. Add vanilla.

Put the rice krispies in a large bowl and pour the syrup mixture on top and mix until evenly incorporated.

Press rice mix into buttered 9×9 dish and push it down with the back of a spoon. Put it in the fridge while you make the chocolate layer.

Set a metal or glass bowl over a small pot of simmering water and add chocolate to melt slowly, stirring occasionally. Make sure your bowl avoids all contact with water. Chocolate will seize and become unworkable if it comes into contact with even a few drops of water.

Pour the chocolate on top of the rice krispies and quickly spread it evenly across the top with a spatula or the back of a spoon.

Refrigerate for 1 1/2 hours and then cut into squares.

We recommend that you make these wedding favors the day before your wedding and keep them stored in the fridge, as the rice starts to absorb moisture after two days.

Candied walnuts are seriously delicious, so today we’ve created an easy to follow candied walnut wedding favor tutorial.

What You’ll Need

1 Pound Walnut Halves. If you like your walnuts extra sugary, cut down on the amount of nuts.

1 Cup White Sugar

2 Teaspoons Ground Cinnamon

1/4 Teaspoon Salt

6 Tablespoons Milk

1 Teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F {175 degrees C}.

Spread walnuts on a baking sheet in a single layer.

Roast walnuts for approximately 8-10 minutes or until they start to turn brown. Remove from oven.

While your walnuts are roasting, stir together sugar, cinnamon, salt and milk in a saucepan.

Cook over medium to high heat for 8 minutes or until the mixture reaches the soft ball stage of 236 degrees F {113 degrees C} or starts caramelizing.

Remove from heat and mix in the vanilla.

Add walnuts to syrup mixture and stir to coat.

Spoon walnuts onto baking paper and separate with a fork.

Cool and store in airtight container.

Presentation

Place desired amount of candied walnuts into clear cello bags and seal. We used clear cello bags with self seal lips, but you could also just staple them shut.

Next, cut out a piece of decorative paper to cover the top of the bag.

Staple decorative paper onto bag.

Tie a ribbon around the paper to hide staples and then add a pretty tag.

These wedding favors only took about 20 minutes to make, but are bound to be a hit because they’re just so darn tasty and smell amazing too.

We adore chocolate, nuts and dried fruit – so today we’ve made the most decadent chocolate and puffed grain wedding favors. These morsels are sure to be a hit.

What You’ll Need

12 Ounces Dark Chocolate

1 and 1/3 Cups Puffed Cereal

½ Cup Almonds Pieces

1 cup Dried Cranberries Chopped

Sea Salt

Pretty jars

Directions

Set a metal or glass bowl over a small pot of simmering water and add chocolate to melt slowly, stirring occasionally. Make sure your bowl avoids all contact with water. Chocolate will seize and become unworkable if it comes into contact with even a few drops of water.

Place puffed cereal, almond pieces and cranberries in a bowl.

Remove the chocolate from the heat and gently mix with the puffed cereal, nuts and dried fruit.

Allow everything to sit for approximately five minutes to cool.

Line a baking tray with baking paper. Using a spoon and your fingers, dollop tablespoons of the mix onto the baking paper. Repeat until all the mixture is used.

Sprinkle the morsels liberally with sea salt. Then put the tray in the fridge for approximately 15 minutes, so that the morsels completely set.

Lastly, put the morsels into pretty jars and add fabric, twine and tags.

We love that these treats keep for much longer than baked goods and that they look so decadent when packaged in pretty little jars with fabric and twine. Delicious and gorgeous.
