Easy Saltine Cracker Candy Recipe + Cracker Candy Photos

I knew I could do dinner but desserts were questionable until I came across the Bakergirl blog. Thanks to her blog I was able to find a dessert and save the day.

Easy Rudolph & Clarice Paper Plate Craft

Rudolph and Clarice (a cute doe that befriends Rudolph in the classic Christmas TV show) were among the cutest and most popular so we decided to share how to make them here.
