Paul Frank Water Dispenser (Morena Blvd Costco)

 

How cute is this mini water dispenser?!?! It holds 8 cups and will encourage your little ones to  drink more water. It's only $12.99 and makes for a great gift. Right now there are only Paul Frank ones but there were Hello Kitty ones too. Hopefully those will be restocked this holiday season. Happy shopping!

Hello Kitty Mini Fridge (Morena Blvd Costco)

Note: The fridge has been marked down again. It's now only $24.97. GO GET ONE NOW!

I have been a Hello Kitty fan since the 80's. I had the toothbrush, school supplies, lunch box, etc. I would've killed for a Hello Kitty mini fridge in my room as a kid. Now I'm too old and this doesn't really match my decor but I bet it would be the cutest thing ever in several of my nieces' bedrooms. Hello Christmas and January birthdays!


This super cute personal fridge is marked down to only $29.97 at the Costco on Morena Blvd. It holds six 12 ounce cans or four 16 ounce bottles. It keeps beverages or snacks warm or cool and comes with a wall and car adapter. Pretty cool!
I did a little research to make sure that $29.97 is a good price. I found that through Costco's website it's $39.97. Target, Walmart, and Toys R Us are listing a Hello Kitty mini fridge for $59.  It's not the same one though. It's red with a white kitty outline. However, the size is the same.

Candy Insanity



It was National Candy Day on November 4. What better way to celebrate than to make something from the Halloween candy that's been haunting me? The recipe was inspired by CookiesandCups.com and it's now one of my favorite treats to make. The bottom layer tastes like my favorite See's candy, the butterscotch square.

Use whatever candy you already have or only buy your favorites.

Snickers, m&m's, Baby Ruth, Milky Way, Reese's PB Cups, and Butterfingers


Directions
  • Line a 9x13 pan with foil and cover the bottom with small pretzels. 
  • Boil 2 cups of brown sugar and 1 cup of butter over medium heat for two minutes. Stir continuously.
  • Pour the brown sugar and butter over the pretzels and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. 
  • While it's baking, melt 3 cups of chocolate chips and chop up whatever candy you have on hand. 
  • When it comes out of the oven, spread the melted chocolate  over the pretzels evenly and then sprinkle on whatever candy you like. 
  • Put it in the refrigerator to cool or in the freezer if you need it set faster. 
  • Break into pieces and enjoy.
