Spring in a Bottle

 
  • Total Time Needed:
1 Hour

If it feels like spring’s taking too long to sprout, liven up a winter windowsill by making this mini greenhouse — a recycled take on a cloche, traditionally used outdoors to protect early plantings.

Materials
  • Clear 2-liter soda bottle
  • Small flowerpot
  • Potting soil
  • Seeds
  • Saucer
  • Craft stick marker
  •  
Instructions
  1. Cut the top from a clear 2-liter soda bottle.
  2. Find a flowerpot that fits inside the dome. Fill the pot with potting soil, then plant the seeds according to the packet directions.
  3. Place the pot on a saucer and poke in a craft stick marker. Slip the dome over the pot. Be sure to water the soil when it looks dry.

Reese’s Krispies

1 Cup Sugar
1 Cup Corn Syrup
1 1/3 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter
4 1/4 Cup Rice Krispes
1 Pinch of Salt
4 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, chopped
1 Handful Chocolate Chips

In a large sauce pan over medium heat, melt the sugar, corn syrup, and peanut butter until smooth and evenly combined.
Remove from heat.
Quickly add the salt and cereal and stir to combine thoroughly. Add the chocolate chips and stir again. Wait about 1 min and add the candy, quickly folding the mixture together so as to not smash up the candy.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and drop rounded tablespoons onto the sheet. Read more at OhSweetBasil
