Being Valentine's Day, I thought I would make some special treats for the birds.
I try to always have bird feed on hand. I enjoy watching the birds
I decided to make some special treats for them. Heart shaped bird seed ornaments, which you can hang on a tree or post.
Perfectly safe and the birds will really enjoy them.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup Birdseed, I bought my bag at Target for under $10.00
1 small packet of Know Gelatin
Twine
1/4 cup of water
Heart shaped Whoopie Pie Pan
In a saucepan, add the gelatin and the water together.
Simmer until dissolved.
Cool slighty
Add the Birdseed to the cooled pan. Mix until the Birdseed
is thoroughly mixed.
I then filled the heart shaped whoopie pie pan half-way.
I added a piece of twine in a loop.
Fill the rest of the cavity with mire Birdseed mixture.
Press down to flatten.
Use the back of a spoon.
Let set up! They pop out of the pan easy.
I popped mine out after 2 hours.
It's best to let it dry thoroughly. 3 days.
You can hang them on a dowel somewhere.
These are also great wedding favors.
My husband and I are on a diet, so NO chocolates for us.
We are going to see a movie and come back and have a salad.
Have a wonderful Valentine's Day.
Enjoy this special day with your loved ones.

Adorable post! We love to feed the birds and may have to do this. Today my hubs and I spent a romantic day cleaning up fine white dust from everywhere after the drywallers and painters left. We were so tired we had chicken soup and now watching Idol! So romantic, I know!
ReplyDeleteThst's very sweet of you to think of the birds....hope you had a lovely V Day!

ReplyDeleteSo so clever using the Whoopie pan for heart shapes! Imagine the possibilities!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. Living on a farm we have a lot of birds and feed them all. Sometimes the little guys get left out this will be perfect for them.
