melting moments

i am always so proud when i manage to make something for the first time. especially when it's something that looks super fun and fancy. i actually am surprised that i've never attempted melting moments before, now that i know just how easy they are. i found a recipe on a facebook page i love to follow - from the pantry to the table - her page is full of simple, hearty, good food. 

i decided to make these for amelia's birthday party a few weeks ago and they came out beautifully, they were especially fun as i joined them together with pastel sprinkles in the icing sugar. they were little girl party perfect and definitely going on the regular baking list.
