If I could only say how much this video means to me. This year in may I was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. It had gone to my spine, sternum, lymph nodes, and to other areas. In October,
I went into remission. A few short weeks after, we found out it has spread to my brain, with 18 new lesions. They did surgery to remove one that was swollen & hemorrhaging. But as God is my protector and father, I am here!! So thank you from my heart Momma Mel, for allowing me to feel His love & peace through you. ❤
Oh friend, thank YOU so much for sharing your story with me 🙏 What a brave fighter you are! I and everyone here in this community that reads your comment will be praying for you. And God certainly DOES love you and He will walk right by your side and may His peace fill you ❤️
🙏🙏🙏🙏
🙏
I don't have proper words. Sending you prayers.
Send prayers your way. God bless you.

Great to hear someone saying that Jesus is the reason for the season. For unto you is born this day in the city of David (Bethlahem) a Saviour who is Christ the Lord., blessings everyone 🙏
❤❤
Thank you! Just, THANK YOU
Amen!
Amen, Jesus is King!
As someone asked: What was the first gift of Christmas? Answer: a child. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only son..."
Thank you so much for saying what Christmas is really about. Christ’s birth. You just never hear people say that. Thank you!
I loved this video. We all need to be reminded of the true meaning of Christmas from time to time. Thank you Mel❤️
Thank you Melinda so much for watching. I remember when my kids were young how overwhelmed I felt with trying to make everything picture perfect, and that's not even what it's about right 😉 Over the years I've decided for the most part, at my house I'm gonna keep it simple and enjoy the time with my people with as little added stress as possible 😊 I hope that you have a very merry Christmas and I appreciate you always showing up for my videos 🥰
Amen 🙏. Merry Christmas 🎄
Not we all, no. Maybe some people out there. But not all. Some might just not be interested in religious stuff, like me.
I use the red and green chocolate melts. Much easier and stays consistent in texture. Thanks Mel. Jesus is the reason for the season 🙌
The chocolate covered marshmallows would be great additions to a cup of hot Chocolate!! The chocolate would make it richer in flavor as would the mallow, but the mallow would also give the hot chocolate more depth in flavor too!!!
Yes, these are great ideas for the marshmallows! I will have to try these out, thanks for sharing and watching. I hope that you had a very blessed Christmas.
Mel, you are such a blessing. I loved the end of this video where you reminded us all to not try to be perfect. Its hard to remember that sometimes. I should let my kids help more. Thank you. Merry Christmas!
I like that only God is perfect. He blesses us with His grace, we are not perfect but He loves us dearly.
Merry Christmas everything looks beautiful and delicious. Happy birthday Jesus I love you 🙏✝️💝
You are so right about enjoying your family and celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ!
Enjoying a cup of coffee and watching your video. I love the simplicity of these recipes. I will be making them for/with my family this year. Our three adult children have moved out on their own. Christmas time is the time that we get together for fun and food. I love your sweet message in this video. Absolutely! Jesus is the reason for the season! God Bless you!
Thank you so much Tammy. I know we don't have a lot of years left with our girls at home, but I still love doing these little things with them. Great memories and many more to come ❤
Thank you for sharing the true meaning of Christmas... the birth of our Lord Who gave Himself for us.
They turned out so nice. I never thought of just topping the rolo treat with another pretzel! Those have always been a favorite. Thanks for reminding me to think outside the box a little bit. I am adding pretzels and rolos to my grocery list! Talking about making these with your girls made me think back to sweet days that feel so long ago sometimes.
When my son and his cousins were little I used to spread an old sheet on the living room floor and pop bowls of popcorn and fill another bowl with unsalted peanuts still in the shells, another with kix cereal and another with fresh cranberries. I would thread them each a darning needle with the rounded tips and we would string all the goodies and play Christmas movies in the background. I would have gingerbread dough chilling in the fridge and when we finished our strings of treats we hung them outside in our trees for birds and squirrels and occasionally a deer would come up and nibble on the strings of treats.
Afterwards we rolled out the gingerbread dough and cut out cookies. They loved it and some of the kids now do this with their own kids. It was simple enough to do and the sheet kept the mess easy to just shake out off the back deck. We didn’t rush through it but just enjoyed being together. Thanks for reminding me of those times. Have a blessed week dear friend.
🥰💖🎄❤ Donna, I just love every bit of this! What a precious memory 😊 and how much fun that must have been for those boys. I am so glad that you shared this with me, it warmed my heart. God is good and He is really found in just these smallest acts that bond a family together ❤
Hi, Donna. I so enjoyed reading your long-ago memory with your son and nephews. It took me back to a simpler era in time and my mind's eye could see the memory unfold. I feel times like those have been lost in this day in age, and I was so happy to enjoy this one with you. I was expecting you to share that when they were done, you strung them on your Christmas tree, but what a happy thought that you then strung them outside for the birds and any other animals that stopped by for the treats. Thank you for sharing and taking me back in time.
@@CindyKinney thank you, I worried I had overshared but Mel made me think of our afternoons spent keeping the kids busy and I had hoped back then making memories. I’m glad it brought you some warm memories too. God Bless you.
Donna, we are all so glad that you shared this, I think we all went back in time with you and we all needed this precious memory ❤
I came to say exactly what Cindy Kinney said. To the letter. TYSM for sharing!!!
These all looked so yummy! I agree, we need to be careful about stressing about everything being perfect and just enjoy the true meaning of the season and the time with our families. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching Amanda, hope you all had a wonderful Christmas
I cried watching this. My grandma passed & you made me feel so much love just with your voice. She was my best friend & my 2nd mum. I have so many memories of her but the ones that hit me hardest are Christmas because she loved it so much, Easter, her birthday & Mother’s Day. Time does help but not a single day goes by without me thinking about her. This Christmas will be a tough one because The Lord blessed my sister with a beautiful baby girl, we are so thankful for her but knowing Gran never got to meet her is hard. God Bless everyone, stay safe & always keep your loved ones near🙏🏻❤💙
Me too. I miss my Granny
Love the idea with the pretzels and Rollos! 🥨 Gotta try that! One of my favorite treats is the thin mints! You just dip Ritz crackers into melted chocolate with peppermint extract. They taste just like the Girl Scout cookies! Have a very blessed Christmas!🎄
Those look wonderful
Hello, just watched this video and was quite impressed. Your kindness in your voice alone has had me subscribe to your channel, as well as reading your introduction about yourself! Thank you for the quick recipe ideas, but most of all your gentle welcoming presence to your audience, but because we both share Jesus in our heart I wanted to send my greetings to you. In all gentleness. 🇨🇦
very calming video loved it thank you
Christmas is about faith and family ❤️. Like that you help us crazy moms to remember it doesn't have to be perfect. 👍
Amen Christmas is aboutJesus!
Thank you for talking about the true meaning of Christmas. It is zo refreshing to hear about our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Wonderful sweets,
I’m watching this video for the first time even though it was created almost a year ago.
For the chocolate covered graham cookies i would use a fork instead of spoon to put the melted icing stripes on it. The tines of the fork are perfectly suited to give you this effect. Aldo if you had a hot bowl of water you could continuously keep the icing tube soft and allow the contents to flow easier without having to put in microwave each time.
Pioneer woman has a great recipe using pretzels , caramels , chocolate and pecans. Easy and yummy too
Jesus is the Reason for the Season! Thank you for your loving and caring Holiday treat Video!
This video is unhinged. I love it.
Thanks so much! Miss my children being small. Great times!
I like Christmas treats from easy delish desserts
Amen Mel, I appreciate you sharing your faith with us. Your exactly right it's not about how much money we spend on gift etc...but celebrating the birth of our Savior. God Bless you all, Merry Christmas 🎄
Absolutely!!
Awesome, and those Picasso-style Graham cracker treats - artistic and sooo yummy ❣
Thank you, they gave me a run for my money LOL
What a sweet lady. Amen. Loved the treats and your kind and lovely words. 😍
My favorite was the graham crackers, brought tears to my eyes, the lesson behind such a pretty cookie is really what Christmas is about. Our Lord and Savior and stained glass chocolate cookies. My grand kids will have a ball with these!!
Great and easy holiday snack ideas 🥰
So sweet, they are all cute. Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday, Baby Jesus.
Thankyou for sharing! Let us always remember that "Jesus is the reason for the season." He will never be cancelled.
Thank you so much for saying christmas is about the birth of Jesus christ you don't hear that much anymore and you don't hear much about family doing things together thank you so much I enjoyed this.❤
This was such a treat to listen to you talking about the real reason for this season. I needed that. Thank you and God bless you and your family. 🕊 🙏
Thank you so much for watching, I hope you had a blessed and very Merry Christmas too
❤❤❤❤❤ Perfect!
Brown
Cute for the party
Hey friends, hope you've had a great day 😊 What's your favorite REALLY EASY treat to make?
Homemade Chex mix.
Yum! One of favorites ❤
@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel mine too. It and homemade muddy buddy remind me of my late grandmother.
🥰
I love the square pretzels with a Hershey's Hug and a red or green m&m! 😊
For a white drizzle- melt up some white almond bark. Works perfectly
Beautiful attitude about not stressing about things being perfect. Yay Jesus.
Thank you for sharing your Christmas memories.
Yes and Amen! Your treats look good, and yes Jesus is the true meaning of Christmas!🙏❤️😊🙏❤️😊
Thank you for showing an honest kitchen. Wonderful video and encouragement!
Thank you, thank you!! I think you just saved our Christmas with these AFFORDABLE ideas!!
I'm am so happy that we've connected. Christmas is not meant to be a stress on our spirit or our pocketbook. These are all delicious, easy, affordable and fun to make. Thank you for the sweet comment it means the world to me that this has helped you. Have a very merry Christmas.
So simple and delicious!
Mel so right to enjoy the moment a we csan have a fun time..
Love the emphasis on making memories and not perfection ❤

We Give All Praises, Glory and Honor unto ABBA FATHER with much Thanksgiving in our hearts..👏👏👏👏👏 wishing Mel and family and everybody A Very Pleasant, Joyful and Peaceful holidays🍹🍹 🍹🎊MERRY CHRISTMAS🎄 🎊 to you all🙌
Cheers
Merry Xmas
love the Rolo and pretzel idea!!!!
We all need to slow down and remember why we really celebrate Christmas. In all honesty I like the splatter look of the icing.
They all look so delicious! The chocolate graham crackers came out so beautiful in my opinion. They all look like they came from a gourmet bakery, Mel's bakery! Doesn't get any better than that. Yes we all need to remember the true meaning of Christmas. Jesus is the reason for us 365 days a year! Hope the snack foods you are making for Christmas brings you extra extra joy and happiness. Look forward to more quick and easy snack ideas. Love ya!
Thanks so much! 😊 I don't know about gourmet but I thought they ended up better than they started LOL. They DID taste great, I have taken snacks to lots of get togethers already so that's good that they are not all here in the house. LOL Love you friend
I needed the message at the end of the video more than you know. Your words struck a chord with me and I even got a little choked up there for a minute as I thought about the truth in what you said. Thank you for the reminder and God bless you and your family this Christmas.❤
❤️😊 I needed it too friend
❤ thank you so much for your help and for your time and telling about Jesus and being just happy with our family.
You're very welcome and thank YOU so much for watching and for your encouraging words. Merry Christmas 🌟 ❤️ 🎄
Mel, thanks for your beautiful message! Really needed that!
You’re awesome! Yes, Jesus is the reason. I’m forwarding this post to my daughter in law, I think my grandkids would love to make these! Thanks
Thanks for sharing!!
I loved these treats Mel! So easy to make and I agree with what you said when you were making the chocolate covered graham crackers. The Christmas season is about Jesus and getting to spend precious time with our families. Perfection can be overrated sometimes lol, but I must say those graham crackers looked really good in the end so sometimes things that might not be going right at first turns out pretty good in the end. God bless! 💕
Thanks so much! 😊 And I thought they looked really good after all too LOL AND they were the tastiest of them all, too Thanks so much for watching and I hope you have a great weekend friend
Thank you for sharing these! I'm making candy for our family this year for gifts and I want some variety. These look easy, cute and fun. Can't wait to make some of these.
mama mel dipping half the pretzel in some of that colored chocolate with a few sprinkles would be gorgeous! thanks for the inspiration!
Merry Christmas
A mini crockpot works great for keeping chocolate or icing melted.
Made the thin mints. Boy, they did not last. Yummy!
Lol they ARE good aren't they ❤️
Thanks for sharing. & keeping it real
These little treats are so fun! Jesus is the reason for the season ❤
👍❤️✝️🎄
Thank you so much for all these delicious snacks easy to make for Christmas awesome job thank you for sharing❣️🌲
WONDERFUL. SIMPLE. QUICK. EASY I AM MAKING THEM ALL FOR MY FAMILY CHRISTMAS PARTY! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!
Thank you for giving the true meaning of Christmas. Jesus Christ
Hello from a fellow Southerner! Looking forward to making these in 2022. God bless ya!
I love all these treats, they look great..
My family loves the chocolate dipped marshmallows and we’ve tried all kinds of flavors of marshmallows our favorite is the ones with toasted coconut on them. I usually put chocolate side down but love how these look chocolate side up with decorations, I will definitely be trying that this year!! Christmas blessings to you and your family!
Oh now I can't wait to try them with some other flavor marshmallows, thank YOU for that great idea! Hope you have a very Merry Christmas and thanks so much for watching
I like things that look homemade. The perfect artsy cookies etc... at the store look very beautiful but they never taste as good as the homemade stuff. Memories are an incomparable gift.
😍the fact that there is unwrapped rollo now. The hard part was always unwrapping the candies
Amen merry Christmas
I’ll make the marshmallow treats but will dab them into crushed peanuts instead of sprinkles! Yum!
Jackson Pollack graham crackers! Looks delicious!
Love how you do it. Much important is you making effort to enjoy christmas season
I love the Rolo pretzels!
Love the treats and the great advice. Things don't have to be perfect, our kids just really do want to spend time with us. Thank you
