If I could only say how much this video means to me. This year in may I was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. It had gone to my spine, sternum, lymph nodes, and to other areas. In October,
I went into remission. A few short weeks after, we found out it has spread to my brain, with 18 new lesions. They did surgery to remove one that was swollen & hemorrhaging. But as God is my protector and father, I am here!! So thank you from my heart Momma Mel, for allowing me to feel His love & peace through you. ❤
Oh friend, thank YOU so much for sharing your story with me 🙏 What a brave fighter you are! I and everyone here in this community that reads your comment will be praying for you. And God certainly DOES love you and He will walk right by your side and may His peace fill you ❤️
🙏🙏🙏🙏
🙏
I don't have proper words. Sending you prayers.
Send prayers your way. God bless you.

You are so right about enjoying your family and celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ!
Great to hear someone saying that Jesus is the reason for the season. For unto you is born this day in the city of David (Bethlahem) a Saviour who is Christ the Lord., blessings everyone 🙏
❤❤
Thank you! Just, THANK YOU
Amen!
Amen, Jesus is King!
As someone asked: What was the first gift of Christmas? Answer: a child. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only son..."
Thank you so much for saying what Christmas is really about. Christ’s birth. You just never hear people say that. Thank you!
Thanks so much! Miss my children being small. Great times!
The chocolate covered marshmallows would be great additions to a cup of hot Chocolate!! The chocolate would make it richer in flavor as would the mallow, but the mallow would also give the hot chocolate more depth in flavor too!!!
Yes, these are great ideas for the marshmallows! I will have to try these out, thanks for sharing and watching. I hope that you had a very blessed Christmas.
Thank you for sharing the true meaning of Christmas... the birth of our Lord Who gave Himself for us.
I use the red and green chocolate melts. Much easier and stays consistent in texture. Thanks Mel. Jesus is the reason for the season 🙌
I loved this video. We all need to be reminded of the true meaning of Christmas from time to time. Thank you Mel❤️
Thank you Melinda so much for watching. I remember when my kids were young how overwhelmed I felt with trying to make everything picture perfect, and that's not even what it's about right 😉 Over the years I've decided for the most part, at my house I'm gonna keep it simple and enjoy the time with my people with as little added stress as possible 😊 I hope that you have a very merry Christmas and I appreciate you always showing up for my videos 🥰
Amen 🙏. Merry Christmas 🎄
Not we all, no. Maybe some people out there. But not all. Some might just not be interested in religious stuff, like me.
I cried watching this. My grandma passed & you made me feel so much love just with your voice. She was my best friend & my 2nd mum. I have so many memories of her but the ones that hit me hardest are Christmas because she loved it so much, Easter, her birthday & Mother’s Day. Time does help but not a single day goes by without me thinking about her. This Christmas will be a tough one because The Lord blessed my sister with a beautiful baby girl, we are so thankful for her but knowing Gran never got to meet her is hard. God Bless everyone, stay safe & always keep your loved ones near🙏🏻❤💙
Me too. I miss my Granny
Hey friends, hope you've had a great day 😊 What's your favorite REALLY EASY treat to make?
Homemade Chex mix.
Yum! One of favorites ❤
@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel mine too. It and homemade muddy buddy remind me of my late grandmother.
🥰
I love the square pretzels with a Hershey's Hug and a red or green m&m! 😊
Amen Christmas is aboutJesus!
Merry Christmas everything looks beautiful and delicious. Happy birthday Jesus I love you 🙏✝️💝
Christmas is about faith and family ❤️. Like that you help us crazy moms to remember it doesn't have to be perfect. 👍
❤ thank you so much for your help and for your time and telling about Jesus and being just happy with our family.
You're very welcome and thank YOU so much for watching and for your encouraging words. Merry Christmas 🌟 ❤️ 🎄
Amen Mel, I appreciate you sharing your faith with us. Your exactly right it's not about how much money we spend on gift etc...but celebrating the birth of our Savior. God Bless you all, Merry Christmas 🎄
Absolutely!!
Mel, you are such a blessing. I loved the end of this video where you reminded us all to not try to be perfect. Its hard to remember that sometimes. I should let my kids help more. Thank you. Merry Christmas!
I like that only God is perfect. He blesses us with His grace, we are not perfect but He loves us dearly.
These all looked so yummy! I agree, we need to be careful about stressing about everything being perfect and just enjoy the true meaning of the season and the time with our families. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching Amanda, hope you all had a wonderful Christmas
Loved the comments about the real meaning of Christmas! Fun tasty treats as well!!!
Hello from a fellow Southerner! Looking forward to making these in 2022. God bless ya!
I needed the message at the end of the video more than you know. Your words struck a chord with me and I even got a little choked up there for a minute as I thought about the truth in what you said. Thank you for the reminder and God bless you and your family this Christmas.❤
❤️😊 I needed it too friend
Very Good Sharing 💕
Stay safe and stay connected 🙏 💕
Thanks so much for watching
What a sweet lady. Amen. Loved the treats and your kind and lovely words. 😍
Awesome, and those Picasso-style Graham cracker treats - artistic and sooo yummy ❣
Thank you, they gave me a run for my money LOL
Thank you for talking about the true meaning of Christmas. It is zo refreshing to hear about our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Wonderful sweets,
Thank you for showing an honest kitchen. Wonderful video and encouragement!
I’m watching this video for the first time even though it was created almost a year ago.
For the chocolate covered graham cookies i would use a fork instead of spoon to put the melted icing stripes on it. The tines of the fork are perfectly suited to give you this effect. Aldo if you had a hot bowl of water you could continuously keep the icing tube soft and allow the contents to flow easier without having to put in microwave each time.
Pioneer woman has a great recipe using pretzels , caramels , chocolate and pecans. Easy and yummy too
Love the idea with the pretzels and Rollos! 🥨 Gotta try that! One of my favorite treats is the thin mints! You just dip Ritz crackers into melted chocolate with peppermint extract. They taste just like the Girl Scout cookies! Have a very blessed Christmas!🎄
They turned out so nice. I never thought of just topping the rolo treat with another pretzel! Those have always been a favorite. Thanks for reminding me to think outside the box a little bit. I am adding pretzels and rolos to my grocery list! Talking about making these with your girls made me think back to sweet days that feel so long ago sometimes.
When my son and his cousins were little I used to spread an old sheet on the living room floor and pop bowls of popcorn and fill another bowl with unsalted peanuts still in the shells, another with kix cereal and another with fresh cranberries. I would thread them each a darning needle with the rounded tips and we would string all the goodies and play Christmas movies in the background. I would have gingerbread dough chilling in the fridge and when we finished our strings of treats we hung them outside in our trees for birds and squirrels and occasionally a deer would come up and nibble on the strings of treats.
Afterwards we rolled out the gingerbread dough and cut out cookies. They loved it and some of the kids now do this with their own kids. It was simple enough to do and the sheet kept the mess easy to just shake out off the back deck. We didn’t rush through it but just enjoyed being together. Thanks for reminding me of those times. Have a blessed week dear friend.
🥰💖🎄❤ Donna, I just love every bit of this! What a precious memory 😊 and how much fun that must have been for those boys. I am so glad that you shared this with me, it warmed my heart. God is good and He is really found in just these smallest acts that bond a family together ❤
Hi, Donna. I so enjoyed reading your long-ago memory with your son and nephews. It took me back to a simpler era in time and my mind's eye could see the memory unfold. I feel times like those have been lost in this day in age, and I was so happy to enjoy this one with you. I was expecting you to share that when they were done, you strung them on your Christmas tree, but what a happy thought that you then strung them outside for the birds and any other animals that stopped by for the treats. Thank you for sharing and taking me back in time.
@@CindyKinney thank you, I worried I had overshared but Mel made me think of our afternoons spent keeping the kids busy and I had hoped back then making memories. I’m glad it brought you some warm memories too. God Bless you.
Donna, we are all so glad that you shared this, I think we all went back in time with you and we all needed this precious memory ❤
I came to say exactly what Cindy Kinney said. To the letter. TYSM for sharing!!!
Thank you so much. And thank goodness you help people remember the real meaning of Christmas.
God bless
❤️ thank you for watching
Thank you for sharing your Christmas memories.
You’re awesome! Yes, Jesus is the reason. I’m forwarding this post to my daughter in law, I think my grandkids would love to make these! Thanks
Thanks for sharing!!
I felt like my heart was warming because the memories were pouring through my heart. My Husband has been gone for 18 years, my two girls have moved to another state, and I'm here alone, But as you talked all those wonderful memories were pouring through and tears of joy flooded my eyes. How good you made me feel, Thank you, Mel!
❤️😭 oh my goodness, you made my heart warm too. Thank YOU!
My favorite was the graham crackers, brought tears to my eyes, the lesson behind such a pretty cookie is really what Christmas is about. Our Lord and Savior and stained glass chocolate cookies. My grand kids will have a ball with these!!
Great ideas for quick and easy treats and gifts for friends and neighbors 😀
Yes, they make a good amount and are not too expensive to make either. Thanks for watching!
WONDERFUL. SIMPLE. QUICK. EASY I AM MAKING THEM ALL FOR MY FAMILY CHRISTMAS PARTY! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!
You made me cry with your words about perfection and how it's ok to just let go and enjoy. Thank you and Merry Christmas!
So sweet, they are all cute. Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday, Baby Jesus.
Thx for sharing I will be doing all of these….. and thank you for saying what Christmas is all about….
Everything you said & made is absolutely beautiful. GOD Bless🕊
Thank you 😊
I’ll make the marshmallow treats but will dab them into crushed peanuts instead of sprinkles! Yum!
Enjoying a cup of coffee and watching your video. I love the simplicity of these recipes. I will be making them for/with my family this year. Our three adult children have moved out on their own. Christmas time is the time that we get together for fun and food. I love your sweet message in this video. Absolutely! Jesus is the reason for the season! God Bless you!
Thank you so much Tammy. I know we don't have a lot of years left with our girls at home, but I still love doing these little things with them. Great memories and many more to come ❤
Love you Momma Mel. You’re such a sweetheart and I love your treats and directions.
Yes Jesus the reason for the season goodies look wonderful bless you
Thanks so much Lisa, have a great week
Thank you so much for all these delicious snacks easy to make for Christmas awesome job thank you for sharing❣️🌲
I love your attitude about everything being perfect and you are correct 100%. When we're with loved ones at this time of year that's the most important part and if something didn't turn out exactly like you wanted it to have a good laugh about it and enjoy eating it.
🥰 yes,100% Life is too short to sweat the small stuff I aint it
Thank you so much for saying christmas is about the birth of Jesus christ you don't hear that much anymore and you don't hear much about family doing things together thank you so much I enjoyed this.❤
Thank you so much. We will try these out. Merry Christmas and All The Best in 2023!
Love how you do it. Much important is you making effort to enjoy christmas season
mama mel dipping half the pretzel in some of that colored chocolate with a few sprinkles would be gorgeous! thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you, thank you!! I think you just saved our Christmas with these AFFORDABLE ideas!!
I'm am so happy that we've connected. Christmas is not meant to be a stress on our spirit or our pocketbook. These are all delicious, easy, affordable and fun to make. Thank you for the sweet comment it means the world to me that this has helped you. Have a very merry Christmas.
Thank you for the great recipes , the wonderful advice and the true definition of Christmas. ❤
I think the Graham Crackers look Wonderful; your right Baking is Not about being Perfect/ Having Fun& Enjoying each other's Company; Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 🌲❄️🎄
Merry Christmas from our family from the beautiful cold 🥶 ,snowy 😑😶🌫️ but really beautiful Newfoundland, Canada.Good bless you and your family. I will be trying them in the morning and hiding them from my husband until Christmas. Merry Christmas everyone🎄🎄🎉⛄️
Mel so right to enjoy the moment a we csan have a fun time..
I hope you and your fami
Y have s blessed holiday season thanks for sharing
❤
like the rolo chocolate with pretzel, nice mix of sweet and savory. I think it would also work with Hershey's chocolate kisses and pretzels. Thanks for the video.
I like things that look homemade. The perfect artsy cookies etc... at the store look very beautiful but they never taste as good as the homemade stuff. Memories are an incomparable gift.
This was such a treat to listen to you talking about the real reason for this season. I needed that. Thank you and God bless you and your family. 🕊 🙏
Thank you so much for watching, I hope you had a blessed and very Merry Christmas too
God bless you momma Mel🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏and thank you for putting emphasis on Christ Jesus' Day!!!!!!!!! And thank you for sharing those delicious looking easy treats👍
Loved all of them. Could do them with my grandsons.
Hello, just watched this video and was quite impressed. Your kindness in your voice alone has had me subscribe to your channel, as well as reading your introduction about yourself! Thank you for the quick recipe ideas, but most of all your gentle welcoming presence to your audience, but because we both share Jesus in our heart I wanted to send my greetings to you. In all gentleness. 🇨🇦
Jesus is the Reason for the Season! Thank you for your loving and caring Holiday treat Video!
Thank you for the new ideas I never thought to make anything like it. I like the way you decorated the graham crackers too.
Looks so nice and good
From easy delish desserts
Thanks a lot 😊
where to begin?!
the treats look delicious! defnitly gonny try them with my kiddo! I love that you showed all the ways it didn't work but how it didn't matter bc in the end its the yummy taste and the time spent with your loved ones that counts. also your advice to give yourself a break bc not everything has to be perfect. couldn't agree more!
and lastly, oh how I love your accent!!
thank you so much for sharing your recipes!! 🥰
Love the treats and the great advice. Things don't have to be perfect, our kids just really do want to spend time with us. Thank you
Great and easy holiday snack ideas 🥰
Love the emphasis on making memories and not perfection ❤
I like Christmas treats from easy delish desserts
Amen! Well said. Thank you for talking about the true meaning of Christmas and the reason we do the things we do. And it is the perfect love with which we live not the perfection of what we do that is important. Praying the Christ Child bless you this Advent and Christmas. Gorgeous treats - I’ll be trying them!
Great ideas. One hack that works for the drizzle is adding a little oil to the chocolate while warm.
You are so comforting to listen to. Your treats, I'm sure, are good. I'm gonna try the pretzel ones.☺
What a sweet video. I so resonated with what you said about your kids just wanting to spend time with you making the treats. Thanks for the reminder.
🥰
Thanks for sharing. & keeping it real
Mel, thanks for your beautiful message! Really needed that!
Thank you so much for the perfect explanation of Christmas!
Jackson Pollack graham crackers! Looks delicious!
Thanks for the easy simple recipes. I totally agree with you on the Christmas of Jesus Christ and family and have a great wonderful Christmas with your family too!
Happy Birthday Jesus! Merry Christmas, God bless 🙏
Amen Kathy Thank you so much for watching and merry Christmas to you too friend
These little treats are so fun! Jesus is the reason for the season ❤
👍❤️✝️🎄
We all need to slow down and remember why we really celebrate Christmas. In all honesty I like the splatter look of the icing.
Beautiful attitude about not stressing about things being perfect. Yay Jesus.
You are absolutely right, my friend. Christmas should be savored and enjoyed! I love celebrating and making memories with my sweet children and grandchildren, but that all pales in comparison to the true reason for the season, Jesus. It's all about Him! ❤❤❤
🥰 yes Cathy, our children need to know WHY we are doing all these festive activities and celebrating 🥰 I know your grands are enjoying doing all the fun Christmas things and getting the gospel with you this season. Thank you so much for watching and I pray you have a blessed week🥰
@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel Yes ma'am, we try to stress His birthday and HIS message to all 5 of them. I hope your week is filled with joy and blessings!
Wow lovely ideas I am from the uk and thought how easy they are, the shop bought treats are expensive thank you Jeanette
You're so right ❤😊 the salty/sweet rolo treats are right up my street 😊🎉
These are my kind of Christnas treats! Super easy! I’ve never thought to dip marshmallows and graham crackers in the almond bark before! We dip peanut butter crackers in it, so I think taking graham crackers and adding peanut butter to them to make a sandwich and dipping that in the bark would be delicious!! I’ll have to try to remember that for next year
Oh wow that would be wonderful 😍 I love the peanut butter and crackers dipped. But my oldest is allergic to peanuts and cashews 😭 so I usually don't do too many of them. Just a few for me and Patrick at the end of the tray of chocolate 😉 But grahams and peanut butter and chocolate 👏❤yes please
We do this every year!! Yummy
So yummy 😋
I'm making these with my grandson and great grandkids.
Beautiful little treats! Thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
They all look so delicious! The chocolate graham crackers came out so beautiful in my opinion. They all look like they came from a gourmet bakery, Mel's bakery! Doesn't get any better than that. Yes we all need to remember the true meaning of Christmas. Jesus is the reason for us 365 days a year! Hope the snack foods you are making for Christmas brings you extra extra joy and happiness. Look forward to more quick and easy snack ideas. Love ya!
Thanks so much! 😊 I don't know about gourmet but I thought they ended up better than they started LOL. They DID taste great, I have taken snacks to lots of get togethers already so that's good that they are not all here in the house. LOL Love you friend
Yes and Amen! Your treats look good, and yes Jesus is the true meaning of Christmas!🙏❤️😊🙏❤️😊
Thank you I am making all three. Merry Christmas and God Bless
Those look wonderful
Thank you for the reminder of what Christmas is about and for your sweet little treats I have one that we’ve done for years you probably have heard of it already but it’s Ritz crackers spread with peanut butter and or marshmallow cream and then dipped in chocolate with sprinkles on top they’re yummy!
YUM! I've never thought of using marshmallow cream instead of peanut butter - that's great!
Delicious looking tasty treats!
Thank you for not being afraid to share the true meaning of Christmas! 🌲
I'm going to try these they all look very fun!
So simple and delicious!
Beautiful presentation thanks so much for the video 🙏🏻
Made the thin mints. Boy, they did not last. Yummy!
Lol they ARE good aren't they ❤️
Amen!! 🙏🏻 Thank you for these easy (not perfect!) treats that I can make with our kids! ❤
