Give yourself credit. Whether a viewer can do it better doesn't matter - you are doing a RUclips video whereas we are just sitting back watching. You go girl.
Bless your heart you need to order the precut parchment squares and circles. It’s better than all the fluff of trying to get that thick paper to work especially in small dishes.
I love the cream cheese mints! We used to make them for every wedding, baby shower, you name it. The only difference is we pressed the mixture into rubber molds so we had leaves, roses, tulips, stars! It was a group effort and I have great memories of a bunch of us sitting around the table making mints. Thank you for bringing these memories back for me!
Hey, young lady! Don't be so hard on yourself! There is no way you can know all aspects of prep or cooking. 😊 I've been cooking for many years, holidays and all but I am still learning all the time! In fact, I've learned things from you too! Great video and presentation. I enjoy you and your family. God bless all here!
I spray bottom of pan with cooking spray then cut 2 pc parchment width and up sides each way in pan base, allows you to lift out and pull away after set. Allows you to cut perfect squares or bars.
😂 Amber, I remember helping my mom make these cream cheese/powdered sugar candies for my wedding back in 1973! She had these little rubber type candy molds of roses, bells, and I think a leaf. You are right, they tasted good.
9:07 love the description, candy ball things. 😊 If it involves peanut butter you have my attention. A quick candy that's no bake is 1 package chocolate chips, half a package butterscotch chips. Melt over double boiler. Add half to one package chow mein noodles and mux well. Drop by spoonfuls on parchment paper and let set. I have also added raisins , craisins or dried cherries on occasion.
My sisters and I just made peanut butter balls last weekend. My granddaughters love to help us roll the balls. I get the job of being the "dipper". LOL
Actually, if you leave the top of the graham cracker peanut butter mix a little rough, your chocolate topping will nestle into those tiny spaces and stick to the bottom layer really well! When I smooth it out, I found the layers tended to separate. If you score the chocolate layer before it is 100% hardened I think you will find cutting it goes smoother.
Spray your pan before you put the parchment paper down and it sticks down. Also scrunching parchment paper up helps. Great easy recipes! Thanks for sharing!😊
Amber, can you possibly mix food colorings that your son can have to achieve the green color that you were looking for? Also, to get into the corners of your baking dishes, I use the bottom of my metal measuring cups to press things down. It works very well for so many different recipes and it also helps to make it easier to have them level throughout the dish.
Hi. For those that can't have peanut butter, I am one of those, whenever a recipe calls for peanut butter I substitute unsweetened salted Sunflower seeds butter. I think it's not exactly the same taste, but I think it kinda tastes a little like peanut butter. Grin. 😊 Cali Lady
These are all so beautiful and delicious looking! I’m not a great baker either but I love no bake treats to give out at this time of year. Thanks bunches! 🌻💕
I’m absolutely mesmerized watching whatever you make. I like how you demonstrate & describe the method & measurements. Even the little blips are fun. Than you for adding happiness to my days.
You're such an easy and sweet person to learn from, great instructions. Especially loved the Bible verse at the end. New subscriber here and can't wait to check out the rest of your videos. Thank you, Merry Christmas and God bless you always 🤗
Your threats look so good. I’m going to try them all. My family is going to be extremely excited because I hardly ever make anything sweet. Thank you for sharing these easy recipes.
I love you show. Parchment paper work, space we need to go into five pieces. Cut one to fit the bottom of the dish. Then measure the four side’s cutting about a inch higher than dish. Another way is a three way cut measure from one side across the bottom and to the next side leave these sides a little longer about 3 inches. Then cut the remaining two sides and put in place after your dish is finished you can use the one long piece to lift your dish from the pan.
On another channel, it was said to crunch your parchment paper up in your hands, and then lay it back out. It will conform to the shape of the pan better. You may have to crunch it twice, but it works.
Lay the parchment paper under the glass pan. Using scissors, cut straight twice toward each corner. This will leave a blank square shape cut out. Do this to all 4 corners. Fold the sides of the sheet flat and put into the dish. Then pull the sides back up. If you spray oil into the pan first the sheet will stick to the pan.
First time seeing your video. Popped up when I searched Christmas treats 💝 These look so good! Thanks for taking time to make this video 💝 Hope you have a Very Merry Christmas 🎄💝
Parchment paper tips to try: Scrunch the paper into a ball with your hands as if you're getting ready to throw it away, but then unscrunch it and it will be less apt to move around. I have also seen Kelly over at "Kelly's Korner" use clothes pins to hold the paper in place until she's ready to pop the pan into the oven. I've never tried that, but it looked easy enough and it did hold the paper in place.
Cut your parchment into 2 wide strips that will fit into the pan and hang over each side about 2-3 inches .... and use a binder clip to fasten to sides
First time watching you and you're great bc you're very relatable. When I make brownies or rice Krispy treats I cut 2 strips of parchment and spray corners with non stick. I also use a tad of spray to hold the parchment and t shape them. Then you are able to pull the bottom right up and out to cut.
While scrunching the parchment paper between my hands into a ball, I hold it under running water. Wringing the water out and it will lay perfectly in the pan
Crumble your parchment up to help relax it and then we reopen and use. Can also cut slits in the sides that go up the sides to fold easy in the tray. ❤
Maybe just very finely crunch up a few corn flakes and sprinkle them on your butterfinger balls? If you have several dipped chocolates on your candy board, this would make it easier to identify these! Or just a single corn flake might look cute!
I just saw a trick where you measure out the parchment one inch bigger then your pan and then you lay your pan on top and cut squares out of the corners of the parchment so that it looks like a plus sign. then when you put it in your pan the parchment paper lays smooth in the corners and sides. I hope that makes sense. LOL!
This is the way I do parchment paper. Put a piece on your counter & turn your dish over on top of the parchment. Cut along 2 of the sides (right & left) leaving enough so it will come up on the other sides ( top & bottom) to be used as handles to lift it out when you’re ready to cut into bars. Also when you’re pressing it down, you can also spray your hands with nonstick spray. Also spray the baking dish with a little too before you put the parchment in. Here’s a tip for cutting the bars, run your knife under really hot water, then quickly dry it & then cut. You may need to repeat the hot water step. As far as peanut butter & allergies go, my granddaughter has a severe peanut butter allergy. She can however have a product called “Barney Butter”. It’s sold in the peanut butter section. When I sent my husband to get some, he thought it was a type of butter & was looking among the butter & margarine!! If you have any guests that have a peanut allergy or any other type of nut allergy, they usually know what they can have as a substitute. Don’t be afraid to ask, people are usually grateful that you’re wanting to make sure it’s safe for them.
Yes!! We have a few friends with peanut allergies so I am always cautious when we go to their homes. I hadn't heard of that butter before, though. Thanks for the tip on the parchment paper!
Spray the I side of ur 8×8 dish before placing ur parchment paper in.. or tip the pan over, fit parchment tightly over the pan..then flip dish over and paper goes in easier. Hope this helps! Happy Christmas early! 🌲💝
I just watched your video from 3 days ago. I can totally relate about height. I was 5'3"; I recently lost an inch. I can barely reach my stove top when cooking. I have to sit on my walker to buzz around my kitchen. I am partially disabled. I can't walk long distances or from one room to another without struggling. So, I sit on my walker and buzz around my kitchen. I have a hard time holding my arms up when mixing food on the stove. If I wasn't partially disabled, I would stand on a footstool to reach into my instant pot or a pot on the stove. It's challenging. One of my best friends is 4"9', and she has to look up to me!!! I'm not that much taller then she is, which is funny. We joke about it all the time. So don't feel bad. Besides, being short has it's benefits. That means we have to have our husbands reach things for us. Shows them they are needed. 🤣 From other RUclipsrs, they fold the wax paper on the bottom of your pan and then cut the corners so it fits inside the pan with a hang over this side. You got this!!!! God bless you and your family. ❤
hi ! new to your channel ! great ideas ! what I do for the parchment paper is I crumble it up a bit and then put it in the dish seems to fit in better :)
Hi there I learned from another video I had seen on lining parchment paper is that if you roll it up like a ball or just really just half to wrinkle it and it will lay better or you can cut the corners it will lay better
![Tee Grizzley - Robbery 8 [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/34_vkNV6wrU/mqdefault.jpg)
Ball the parchment paper several times and it will go into the dish easier.
Great tip!
Thanks for the tip!
I was coming to suggest this!
Give yourself credit. Whether a viewer can do it better doesn't matter - you are doing a RUclips video whereas we are just sitting back watching. You go girl.
Thank you so much!
Turn your pan upside down and mold the parchment to the outside of the pan. When you turn it right side up, it should slide right in perfectly.
Ahhh!! Such a good idea.
I think u can spray the pan and ball up the parchment then open back up (like a ball of foil) it helps it stay in the pan....
That's what my friend Mandy said!
Bless your heart you need to order the precut parchment squares and circles. It’s better than all the fluff of trying to get that thick paper to work especially in small dishes.
❤🙂
Oh good idea!!
Don't put yourself down girl. You be you. You make some awesome treats.
Thank you! 😍
The cream cheese mints turned out so pretty🙂 ❤
They really did!

I love that!!!
I swear I gained weight just watching you make these delicious treats.....my mouth was watering!!! Thanks for sharing, I love the no bake feature!!!!
😁😁😁these really were so good
Here's an idea.... when doing the peppermint patties, maybe dip them in melted chocolate!!! YUMMY!!!
If you try it, let me know how it is!
Hey, young lady! Don't be so hard on yourself! There is no way you can know all aspects of prep or cooking. 😊 I've been cooking for many years, holidays and all but I am still learning all the time! In fact, I've learned things from you too!

I love this!!! They are so good
I'm here for all the fun treats. These all look and sound delicious 😋🤤
Thank you 😋
@@FeedingtheByrds you're welcome, friend. Hope you're doing well this lovely Thursday.
If you spray a little cooking spray on the bottom of the 8×8 and press the parchment paper down it will stay in place Love this hack ❤️
Love it!

... my Grandmother taught me to just crumple up the Parchment paper, then uncrumple it and it's easy to put into the dish you're using. :)
That's what my friend Mandy does too!
@FeedingtheByrds ....🙂😊👌🏻.. Miss Mandy ...is that " Mandy in the Making "(?) I do so enjoy her Channel as well.
🙂
Yep. She's my closest friend!
@FeedingtheByrds ..Awww ! 😊 How wonderful...well, it certainly is fitting that you two are close Friends!
Thank you for replying, Miss Amber.🙏🏻😊✨️
She's the best!!! Yes. Love her.
Not sure if you know it, but your son's reflection was in the microwave. That was so cute and funny. I just kept rewinding and watching it.
😁😁 he's hilarious! Always messing with me
Take your parchment paper and crunch it up and then straighten it back out it will stay where ever you put it
Love it.
I just found your videos and love them! Most of all, I appreciate that you give a Bible verse at the end of each video. God bless you and your family!
Welcome to my channel, I’m so happy you found me. Thank you so much!
Spray your pan before you put the parchment paper down and it sticks down. Also scrunching parchment paper up helps. Great easy recipes! Thanks for sharing!😊
Great idea!!
Thanks for sharing! All these look yummy! I might need to try them all. (I also hate when the glass dish makes that noise on the counter!).
Yes!! I need to be better about just having a towel handy
Love these treats
Thank you!

Awesome recipes Amber I’m going to make them all this weekend. Thanks for sharing and hope your week is going good. Merry Christmas 🎄

Thanks for the tips! Will definitely try this.
I literally just crushed graham crackers with my meat mallet a couple of hours ago. If you use the nobbly side it's so much easier 💚
LOL I use that little ol' meat mallet for lots of things. I use it also to crack my ice that I buy by the bag before I put it in my freezer.
Such a great Multi-use tool!
These all look amazingly delicious, thank you.
You are so welcome!
Parchment tip: wet and crumple up the parchment and it will form more easily to pan. 😊
Great tip!
I have been making these peanut butter chocolate bars for many years. They are so good!
SOOO good!
Yum, Yum, Yum! Thank you so much! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Same to you!
Everything looks so yummy! Thanks for posting
You're welcome!
On another channel, it was said to crunch your parchment paper up in your hands, and then lay it back out. It will conform to the shape of the pan better. You may have to crunch it twice, but it works.
Great tip!
I buy pre cut parchment on Amazon. I also put a tiny spray of oil in the pan, that'll make the paper stay down much better.
great tip!
I wonder if cookie butter could be used instead of peanut butter
Oh definitely!
We make the chocolate pb bars!! We always use the crunchy pb and we sometimes add sprinkles on the chocolate while it's still wet, soooo good!!
Oh yum!! That's a great idea
Lay the parchment paper under the glass pan. Using scissors, cut straight twice toward each corner. This will leave a blank square shape cut out. Do this to all 4 corners. Fold the sides of the sheet flat and put into the dish. Then pull the sides back up. If you spray oil into the pan first the sheet will stick to the pan.
Love this! Great tips.
I have made thousands of the cream cheese mints, we always used mint molds though when we made them.
YES! I have seen them that way many times.
I started these recipes tonight I can’t wait to try them
How were they?
@@FeedingtheByrds I only manage to get the garam cracker one right n it was soooo good
Oh n the cinnamon twist omg I’m making them as a snack for now on
I love I seen your child in the microwave dancing beside the camera that is real life. Great job
😁😁they are always messing with me

Spray the pan or dish and the sides then put parchment paper in and press. Then add your contents.
Great tip!
Good night Amber and thank you for sharing your yummy snacks
You are so welcome!
Ball up and crinkle the parchment paper it makes it more playable to use!
Great tip!

Amber, when measuring ingredients, either by measuring cups or spoons, you should always level off.
👍
While scrunching the parchment paper between my hands into a ball, I hold it under running water. Wringing the water out and it will lay perfectly in the pan
Oh!!! Good idea.
These all look so good and easy!! I can’t wait to try them!
Hope you enjoy!
I use a plastic fork. Broke off the middle tines then what you are dipping will slide off easily
That's a great idea !
Crumble your parchment up to help relax it and then we reopen and use. Can also cut slits in the sides that go up the sides to fold easy in the tray. ❤
Great tip!
Awesome treats, thanks 👍🙏🏻👍🙏🏻
Our pleasure!
I make my own peanut butter i bet these would be amazing with it.
Oh so good!
If you wad up your parchment paper first then spread it out in your pan and it will fit the corners better.
Thanks!
All of the treats looks great! I might try make the butterfinger rounds for Christmas. 🙂❤️
You should!
Maybe just very finely crunch up a few corn flakes and sprinkle them on your butterfinger balls? If you have several dipped chocolates on your candy board, this would make it easier to identify these! Or just a single corn flake might look cute!
That's such a good idea!!!
Great ideas ❤
Thank you! 😊
When patting sticky dough into a pan, get a glass of water and dip your spatula in the water as needed to smooth out your dough.
This is a great tip!
I just saw a trick where you measure out the parchment one inch bigger then your pan and then you lay your pan on top and cut squares out of the corners of the parchment so that it looks like a plus sign. then when you put it in your pan the parchment paper lays smooth in the corners and sides. I hope that makes sense. LOL!
Great idea!!!
These recipes looks so good
Glad you like them!

Spray cooking spray in your dish and lay the parchment paper straps. They stick to the pan and then you have perfection
Great tip!
Had them @ my wedding
❤️❤️
Im goi g to put these recipes in my christmas box for next year! Im done!!!
Sounds great!
Wet the parchment paper and it is easy to mold to your pan.
Great tip!
Take and cut the parchment the same size of the pan on both directions and take clips to hold the paper down on sides. I hope that made sense 😊
Thanks for the tips! It does make sense
I make sure to vary the shapes and flavors of my cookies each year. There are sooooo many chocolate treats and I try to control myself to 2. 😂
Oh geez. I know... We are struggling over here. 😄
Spray the I side of ur 8×8 dish before placing ur parchment paper in.. or tip the pan over, fit parchment tightly over the pan..then flip dish over and paper goes in easier. Hope this helps! Happy Christmas early! 🌲💝
Such a great idea!
Turn
Your pan upside down. Lay paper over it and make your mold. Turn pa back right side up and lay paper I side the pan
Great idea!!
Skip the parchment paper in dishes like that which do not need to be baked and use Siran wrap. It goes in much easier and does the trick.
Oh interesting. I didn't even think of that.
❤
Wet (damp) your parchment and wad into a ball. Open up and it will form easily in your pan
Such a good idea.
I just watched your video from 3 days ago. I can totally relate about height. I was 5'3"; I recently lost an inch. I can barely reach my stove top when cooking. I have to sit on my walker to buzz around my kitchen. I am partially disabled. I can't walk long distances or from one room to another without struggling.

Loved reading this!! And yes, I am definitely dependent on him to reach things for me 😁😁
If you use an off set spatula that will help spread things
I need to get one of those
If you add a little non stick spray on the bottom of the pan, the paper will stick down better.
Great tip!
Spray the pan with oil so the paper sticks. Then spray your spatula with it as well.
Great tip!
Ha! I totally saw the reflection of your son (I think) dancing in your microwave. 😂
He's always messing with me 😁😁
Spray your pan before you put the paper in and push paper deep into corners
Thank you!
Spray the dish first. The parchment paper sticks to the spray.
Thanks for the tip!
cool
hi ! new to your channel ! great ideas ! what I do for the parchment paper is I crumble it up a bit and then put it in the dish seems to fit in better :)

Yummy 😋❤
Thank you!
Just add a lot more green dye to make it darker
Unfortunately if you add a lot, it gives a really weird taste!
I made recess peanut butter bars before but never used graham crackers
Try it out and let me know what you thought!
Like I always say, "Not a little a lot, a lot a lot!"
😍
