We picked up these cute little burlap bags and black and white tags at Target - Dollar Spot.
We put a Chap Stick, Breath Mints, and a few Chocolate Kisses in each bag then wrote on the tag,
"Kiss Me At Midnight".  We had these little Kiss goodie bags for each of our guests.




We used a glass vase from the Dollar Store that we taped off and then spray painted Gold Stripes to hold the props for our Photo Booth.  An inexpensive way to make an elegant statement, don't you agree?  The Cute little Chalk Board Easel we picked up at Target - Dollar Spot, Score!

Photo Booth Props of Fun    A Photo Booth is easy to set up and guests of all ages have fun with it.  Just make sure to have lots of fun props to choose from.  We picked up a pack at Walmart that had a bunch of props in it for around $4.00 bucks. Most of all cut loose and be Silly! Beverage Bar    We covered our Sparkling Cider bottles with some gold glitter paper for a touch of sparkle.  (on a side note we covered our table with left over wrapping paper from Christmas) We picked up the paper straws with Tags at Target - Dollar Spot, and we put them into a mug that we picked up on clearance at Target.   We served Sparkling Cider and Sprite with garnishments to add to the glass like; frozen cranberries, lemon and lime wedges, assorted frozen berries and frozen peaches and mangos.   We also had some Cranberry juice to make "Mocktails" we mix 2/3 Cider or Sprite to 1/3 Cranberry Juice over ice or and add a wedge of Lime.  So Yummy!   Paper Fortune Cookies   We used the tutorial in the link above to make our Paper Fortune Cookies.  But instead of already having the fortunes in the cookies, we used it as a fun game.  We had slips of paper already cut and we gave one to each guest as they arrived and asked them to right a prediction for 2016 then place it in a cookie.  Later in the evening we read them out loud as guest tried to guest who wrote the prediction. (the link has printables for fortunes if you want to use those)    

These brownies are SOOOOO good, but they kinda look a mess!  But let's get back to how good they are!

I don't really like chocolate.  I know!  I know!!!  Can we still be friends?

But these brownies, I always have always loved these brownies!  I mean what's not to love!?  They are super easy, first off.  They are covered in caramel and pecans, and they are ooey gooey goodness!


I just make two batches of brownies.  Follow the instructions on the box, make two boxes, in two pans.  One pan will be the brownies, one pan will be used for the crumbly topping.  You can get a fancy box of brownies, but I usually just get the boxes that are on sale, because after we add the caramel and pecans, you would think they were the most expensive brownies ever.

After the brownies cool, I take about half the jar of caramel and coat one batch of the brownies.  After I have put on the layer of caramel, I crumble the other batch of brownies on top of the layer of caramel.  Then I drizzle more caramel on top of the crumbly and add the pecans and then it's super yummy!

You have to eat this brownie with a fork and a plate because they are super messy, but they are worth the mess!!!


Anytime I make these my family can't wait for dessert time!
