This was one of my favorite movie night in awhile. The movie was really cute and the treats were great. I have to thank Heather Ann Melzer because I stole her idea for the treats (she always has the greatest ideas!).
We started off the night with a spaghetti and meatball dinner and then had spaghetti and meatball cupcakes for dessert!
The cupcakes looked so real that I had to ensure the kids and Mike that they were edible and not spaghetti and meatballs!
Heather got the recipe from the book, "Hello, Cupcake" which is now on my wish list of books. The recipe was simple:
- Vanilla cupcakes in white liners
- Vanilla frosting tinted with 3 drops of yellow food coloring and 1/2 a teaspoon of cocoa powder
- Ferrero Roucher hazelnut chocolates (meatballs)
- Low sugar strawberry preserves (pasta sauce)
- Grated white chocolate (parmesan cheese)
I piped the frosting on from a ziplock bag (I didn't want to dirty frosting tips) to look like spaghetti noodles. I put the chocolates in a bowl, spooned the jelly on them and then mixed it around so they were all covered and them placed the jelly covered chocolates on the "noodles". They turned out great!!
