They were so cute, but I ended up not using the cupcake wrappers. I pressed them pretty thin, so the hearts kind of curled in the cups, instead to making the cup form to the hearts. My kids and husband devoured the crumbs the evening I made them. But, when I brought them to the Kindergarten party, not one kid would take one! Lol! I guess something that "looked healthy" couldn't compete with all the cupcakes, cookies, and candies. Some adults ate them, though, and loved them. And my daughter was happy. She ate 2 at the party and got to take the rest home for snack for the next few days.

I could only find some raisins, a huge bag of dried cranberries, and a tiny bag of dried blueberries, so that's the fruit I ended up with. <br /><br />I pressed the mixture out in a jellyroll pan. I'm afraid, though, that I won't get as many hearts as I need with the size cookie cutter I have, so I might be making a second batch this evening!Cara Jnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875931201184337845.post-78658583829016328242013-02-06T22:03:12.641-05:002013-02-06T22:03:12.641-05:00THanks, Leanne!

I took out the nuts & seeds, and I used double the amount of dried fruit-about 16 oz. of blueberries, cranberries, and yellow and red raisins- basically any dried fruit I could find in the grocery store that wasn't filled with too much sugar.Kimberly Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11871637115201907124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875931201184337845.post-3648905913742004432013-01-27T14:50:05.783-05:002013-01-27T14:50:05.783-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875931201184337845.post-31677428895499109012013-01-19T16:10:35.858-05:002013-01-19T16:10:35.858-05:00These are so adorable!

I even love tucking them into the cupcake liners. Could you please tell me what dried fruits you used and how much? I will also be skipping nuts and seeds to accomodate other food allergies in the class, so I think more fruit will be necessary. Thanks so much!Cara Jnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875931201184337845.post-51750920981271386842012-02-22T15:19:55.456-05:002012-02-22T15:19:55.456-05:00thanks :) And thank you for stopping by!thanks :) And thank you for stopping by!Kimberly Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11871637115201907124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875931201184337845.post-70398872902702974492012-02-22T14:08:33.417-05:002012-02-22T14:08:33.417-05:00that's a lot of thought and effort you put int...that's a lot of thought and effort you put into that. nice work. :]jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07148220405743339501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875931201184337845.post-21125551170827948592012-02-20T02:58:15.885-05:002012-02-20T02:58:15.885-05:00wow, those are adorable!! you are super mom!wow, those are adorable!! you are super mom!Amy Nielsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13778616217193819377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875931201184337845.post-79275511515365821792012-02-16T12:24:52.281-05:002012-02-16T12:24:52.281-05:00Thanks!
